9 months down, 70 years to go

As of yesterday, Chris and I have been married for 9 months. I always joke around with him and tell him that I can't believe we have made it this far. We also finalized our cruise plans yesterday as well and bought our plane tickets. We are going to fly down to LA a day early and spend some time with one of Chris' high school friends, Kenny, who lives down there. The plan is for us all to spend the day at Six Flags! Wahoo!

Last night I went on my third ride-a-long with Chris. I t hink I am jinxed because nothing exciting every happens when I ride with him. Maybe that is a good thing though. The last time I rode with him there was a shooting in Springfield, but I didn't see anything and I ended up having John, my brother-in-law, come and pick me up so I wasn't bored the whole night. I did have my first transport put in the back of the cop car. Too bad it was a 13 year old girl who Chris was giving a courtesy ride home to. Oh well. I am still a little scared to have a real criminal in the back of the car.

Last week at work I was able to observe my doctor perform a few procedures. I was able to watch some epidural steroid injections, a discogram, and a radiofrequency ablation procedure. It was very interesting, especially since I might be working over at the surgery center in the future.

Well, that is pretty much it. I am looking forward to going camping in 2 weeks. Other than that, I am still trying to get everything accomplished that I need to for nursing school. I am having a really basic physical this week and I am going to go our to LCC to change my name (since I finally got my new Social Security Card) as well as apply for some student loans. Feel free to leave me comments too!

Hey BG!!

I hope all is well! We just got back from Shasta and had a great time. I wish the two of you could have come with us....maybe next year :-) I think you are going to have an awesome time on your cruise! What day are you flying out of Portland....maybe we can meet up before hand and get breakfast or lunch or dinner?!? When does nursing school start? Do you think you and Chris might want to come up to p-town so we can visit? We would love to hang out for a bit. Tell Chris that I say "hi"....talk to you later!!

Love, Baxter
