Hello all. Hope everyone is doing well. Today is turning into a nice day out. The morning was miserable and depressing, but that's Iowa!!!
I have had some GREAT news! My A&P instructor posted our midterm grades yesterday, and I am 4th in a class of about 40. Plus, I am getting a 98% in my Microbiology class. Gerrick told me that are still 3 people better than me, and 2% to still get. So, no getting lazy now!!!
Anyway, I need to get back to class. Just a quick lunch at home, and then back to the grindstone. I have my Microbiology lab tonight, there is nothing like growing fungus and bacteria to get a gal ready to come home and cook dinner!!! YUMMY!!
Have a great day, love to all!

We are now cat owners

Yes, you read right. Gerrick and I got a cat. I know what you are thinking, I hate cats. I do, in fact, hate cats. But, my children wanted a pet and I know we don't have time for a dog. They need a lot more attention and care and we have very little time. So, we settled for a cat. My allergies are going to take a while to get used to it, but hopefully it doesn't take too long!! Her name is Inez. We rescued her from the humane society. There was a Siamese that we really wanted, but she was already in the adoption process. For those of you thinking about getting pets, go to the humane society. They are all such beautiful animals, and they need a home. Enough commentary!!
Here are some pictures of our new cat. And, yes, she is sticking her tongue out. I think she might have know Amos in a different life. (Some of you won't get that, it's OK!) She is really a good cat. She likes to hide from the kids, but to tell you the truth so would I if they couldn't get me!!! Inez already has been spayed, and can use a litter box without training. We think she is the perfect pet for us!!
Nothing else really going on. We had our Bible study tonight, so I didn't work. The girls were home from school today because it was a half day and I couldn't leave school to get them at noon. So, they spent the day with the neighbor lady. She is such a Godsend!!!
Time to go sit with my hubby and watch the last 10 minutes of the football game. I am such a good wife! Have a good week.
