Fall Break

Well it's that time of year where the leaves start to change and fall off the trees and the nights become cooler. I am still trying to convince myself that it is warm outside by wearing my flipflops and capris but sooner or later I will have to get out the long pants and sweaters.

Thursday and Friday of this week are considered fall break for students at MSU. Thursday I spent 9 hours making up hours at work and today I was at the clinic doing some paperwork for 3 hours.....not much of a break is it?

The good news is that Jeremy and I are leaving tomorrow for St. Louis. We are going up to Westport on Saturday and staying a mile from the Westport Plaza. We plan to eat at the Pujous Restaurant and then shop and walk around. Sunday is FOOTBALL SUNDAY. We will be going to the Rams vs. Cowboys game. Jeremy is from Texas so once I started dating him, I also began a Cowboys fan. I love my Chiefs but the Cowboys have a better chance at making it to the Superbowl. We will be in the highest seats possible but we will get to watch his team play.....the last 4 years of our relationship we have made it to at least one Chiefs game a season but never a Cowboys game.

We are planning on staying the night in downtown St. Louis. Our hotel is actually right next to the stadium so that will be nice. More than likely we will go downtown for dinner and drinks.

I am going to enjoy this time off from the everyday routine of work and school. I am looking forward to relaxing with my honey over the next few days and leaving my thoughts of school at home. Addie will be staying with my mom as will Bosco, my sister's dog. She is going to KC for the Chiefs game with her boyfriend for the weekend.

O......... I do love this time of year. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the cooler days and nights. I hope that God continues to bring happiness to each of your lives.

It's official- June 13, 2009

Well I got our trip booked. We will be staying at Sandals Grande Antigua. The city is St. John, Antigua which is in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Jess and Brandon will be going to stand up for us as maid of honor and best man. We will be there 5 nights and getting married on Saturday June 13th, 2009. Our resort has 9 restaurants, 5 pools, and 5 whirlpools. Airfare, room, all food, all drink, all watersports including snorkeling, kayaking, surfing, beach volleyball, hotel transfers, and all tips and taxes are included. It is going to be beautiful and an absolutely awesome place to get married. I can't wait to marry my best friend and return to Springfield to have a blast with family and friends at our reception on June 27th.

Nothing New Here

Just wanted to update my blog and let everyone know that things are fine around here. Jerm and I have been taking advantage of the nice fall weather and getting outside more to enjoy ourselves.

Tonight we had dinner at Ebbets Field, one of our favorites, outside on their patio. Then we came home and opened up all the windows, took Addie outback to play, and spent time just sitting on our deck enjoying each other's company. We have been taking lots of walks lately...........Addie is a little spoiled. Jerm or I can spell the word W-A-L-K to one another and she goes nuts. You can't tell me that dogs are stupid at least not ours. She knows what we are talking about whether we ask her if she wants to go on a walk or we spell the word out, it's the same reaction either way.

I found out today my possible medical externship site. I am probably going to be placed at Springfield Rehabilitation Center off of Fort Street. I already have a contract with Holland Elementary here in Springfield for my school externship. I am very excited because both of my sites will be less than 2 miles (5 mins) away from our house. That means more sleep for me in the mornings. (As you can see I am not a morning person).

School is school. I am busy right now trying to work on my research project which is a requirement to graduate with your Masters in Speech Pathology. I am not a fan of doing research but all of this will be worth it in the end.

Jerm and I are getting excited for the Cowboys/Rams game coming up in October. We already have tickets and our hotel booked for that weekend in St. Louis. We are also planning a trip to KC to see the Chiefs with Jess and Brandon.

Well I hope everyone is doing well. If you can, get outside and enjoy the nice weather. It really has been beautiful lately in the Ozarks.

This is what I come home to everyday....

I love football on Sundays!

Well now that the NFL is underway, my Sundays will consist of watching my team the Kansas City Chiefs and Jerm's team the Dallas Cowboys. We fly our Cowboys flag and wear our jerseys on game days. We already have tickets for the STL/DAL game in October. We are planning another KC game with my sister and Brandon for this year. Not sure which game it will be yet. The Chiefs just lost their first game to the Patriots......surprise suprise. Even though my team has not been playing so good the past few years, I still love watching them and cheering them on. GO CHIEFS!!!!

Back to School.......AGAIN

Jerm left me a message on my cell phone this morning as I was getting ready for my first day back to school. His message said something to the effect of "today is your last fall semester ever, in fact, it is your last first day of fall semester ever". It is hard to believe that I have been in college for 6 years now. I am so ready for it to all be over with. So now my days will consist of working for my graduate assistantship 20 hours a week, going to night class twice a week, and seeing clients in the clinic which also includes preparation and paperwork. Luckily, I only have two clients this semester. It is sad to think that summer is over and I have to go back to real life. I hope everyone had a great summer!!!
