and I'm back...

Well school finished up and I ended up doing well enough to make the Dean's List...a considerable feat since the cutoff is a 95 average, but I squeaked in just above the line! So I am pretty psyched about that!

We headed off to Colorado for our annual vacation to visit all of the family. We got to see most of the relatives including one aunt that was also visiting from Washington. It is not often that all of dad's brothers and sisters are all together, but it worked out this year, which was a huge blessing and meant a lot to my grandma.

While there we did some shopping and also drove up into the mountains for a day. We went to Echo Lake, which is at above 9,000 feet, so there was snow on the mountains and ice on the lake!

Now we're back in Big Spring and I was supposed to start working at Walmart pharmacy today, but as it turns out a background check and drug screen had to be done first, so I won't be starting until Monday. A new pharmacy manager has been hired for the Big Spring store, and Monday is her first day as well. I'm definitely ready for something to do...after going 90 to nothing all year, it is definitely weird to have all this free time. I thought I would enjoy it immensely, but I am already wishing for something to do! Hopefully Monday will come quickly!

I'm back at it.

So....it's been a long time since I've posted. I've been pretty busy lately what with the end of school and all. 


So...I went to San Angelo for a Wext Texas Pharmacy Association Conference the weekend of my birthday. It was a great conference, and I was able to catch up with 2 of the pharmacists I worked with at Myers. A friend of mine from school, Maxie, went also, so the drive was much more enjoyable! We stayed with Stacey and Wes at their HOUSE! It is so cute, and it was great to see them and the Lillys again! 

Maxie and I attended a few Continuing Education seminars as well as attended the banquet on Saturday night. Dale, one of the pharmacists I worked with, and his wife, Joyce, sat with us, so Joyce and I were able to chat for a while as well. So there was an auction that evening after dinner, and Joyce kept buying things when Dale wasn't looking, then she gave most of it to me, and told me to share it with Maxie! So we each got a Texas flag lawn chair and split a basket of Burt's Bees products!




Since then it's been pretty much studying, but I'm almost there...only 2 finals left, then it's off to Colorado for our annual family vacation. My grandparents are in the process of downsizing to an apartment in a retirement community, so we may be sleeping on air mattresses in their new living room, depending on how fast they get moved. So, this could be an interesting trip, to say the least!


Oh...also an update on my summer internship. A pharmacy manager has been hired for the Big Spring store, so I will be able to work only in Big Spring instead of commuting to Midland with my dad and his friend 3 days a week. So I'm much more excited about that, and I start on May 27th.
