Change

So there will be quite a few changes coming up in my life here over the next few months....and no I am not pregnant...just crazy! First, I have decided to go back to school for the third time. If I am accepted, I will start the masters program at the U of M in January and hopefully become a family nurse practitioner in the next couple of years.

Secondly, I am switching to the weekend shift at the hospital so that I can focus on school during the week. CRAZY...I know. My plans are to go ahead and get school done now so that I can focus on "other things" later down the road. We shall see. Life as I have known it lately is about to turn upside down but hopefully for the good.

Thirdly (if that is even a word), I am going to be an aunt in November and I can't wait!!!!!!!! Oh, and for those of you who haven't heard, Chris' lymph nodes were all clear!!!!! whooohoo...check out The Carrekers blog for the update.

Meet Copper.....

So these are just a couple of pictures of my baby...and they are pretty old acutally. Believe it or not...he is even bigger. Copper is completely spoiled rotten. His days consist of lying around all day in the AC, people watching out the window, and growling at whatever and whomever he wants. (Ben and I are convinced that it's usually at the wind.) However, he is still a puppy and LOVES to play. We can't get him out of the lake and once he is in he will fetch anything...tennis balls, trash, and even SNAKES. Yes, it's true. He tried to fetch a snake from the water. He bit the snake but luckily it didn't bite back!

That's about it for today unless you want to hear about how I cleaned house and washed clothes....Probably not!

So here I go......

So here I go with my first blog posting. Of course, in DIRECT response to my sisters threats of posting more ridiculous childhood pictures of my scrawny, side-ponytailed, tap- dancing self. Believe it or not, there are some that are even worse. However, I don't want to give her any ideas. Love ya sis!

Well, I've been happily married to Ben Tolbert for almost 2 years. We live in Germantown, TN where I work as a labor and delivery nurse and Ben is a superindendent for a homebuilder. We have a precious golden retriever named Copper who is about a year and half.

Nope, no babies yet. However, I am so excited about my little nephew that is on the way!!

For now, that is about as creative as it's gonna get folks. I may not have gotten my sisters artistic talent, but I am trying right? I promise to try and post something a little more interesting next time.
