Hi everyone! Here are a few more pictures that we took this week. We are getting very excited!

Dicky will officially be working as PA in the ER this week (Thursday). So he is looking forward to that.

I had a week full of hospital and nursing orientation in Allen. I really think I am going to love it! I start on the floor on Tuesday.

I hope you all have a great week and stay cool....it is hot out there!

Brick Pictures

So...when I woke up at 5:00 this morning, I stumbled my way into the bathroom to brush my teeth and I thought to myself, "I have got to go to sleep early tonight because this is rough." But it is 11:00 and I am still awake because I really wanted to post our newest pictures of the house.

Dicky had to be at work from 7-4 and I had to be at work from 8-5. With the gas prices the way they are, we figured we would ride together since we had to drive an hour. I didn't know Dicky liked am radio-WBAP (at a volume that was much higher than any normal human being should listen to). Why is it that when guys listen to talk radio, they crank it up so loud? I guess I don't have room to talk. I definately turn my radio up. I could only handle so much of that at 6:00 in the morning. I quickly changed it to fm radio-they play music.

Anyway, when we got off of work, we drove to Anna. This is what we found...

Another month has gone by so fast! We will have a lot going on this month. Dicky has been working in the ER in McKinney for awhile. He has been on orientation, however, and will officially start working as a Physician Assistant on August 15. My first day of work is on Monday, August 4.

In addition to the new jobs, things are moving right along with the house. Our brick is on back order so things are running a little behind. It is no big deal to us though-we are still thrilled with the way everything is going. That gives me more time to make curtains! :)

Last time we visited the house, I forgot my camera card. I remembered it this time, as promised, and here are a few more pictures of the interior of the house. Enjoy!

Howdy!

"Well, foot..."

That is what I said the other day when we went out to the house. I brought the camera and pressed the button to take a picture and I got a lovely message. A black screen told me that there was no memory card. Oh man! It was in my shorts that I wore to Walmart when I went to print the pictures. So...I have an update but no pictures. I know, I know, that is not any fun! But we do have cabinets, interior doors, closet shelves, and paint on the walls. Yee haw! We didn't want to leave. We just stood there and stared at everything. We were both thinking, "Wow, this is almost ours! " So there is still more to do, but it is actually looking like a house. We can't wait for y'all to come over and play Mad Gab, Sequence, or Rummikub. We are working on our game collection but that should keep us all entertained for awhile. The next time we go out, I promise I will take the camera (with the memory card). Bye for now and I hope you are all well!

Here are a few pictures that we took on Sunday afternoon. It actually looks like a house now!

Cruise Pictures

I know I am late posting these but here are some pictures from the cruise! It was so much fun!

Sooo... we have a lot of new pictures to share with you. We went out to Anna on Saturday and we were blown away by how different everything looked from only one week ago!

Dicky is still preparing for his PANCE and I think that he is just ready to get it over! It seems like all he does is study, but pretty soon we will be getting on a cruise ship. We have been ready to relax for a long time.

More exciting news...I went for an interview to work on the Labor and Deliver/Postpartum/Nursery unit at Presbyterian Hospital in Allen on Friday. I left with a job and I start in August! I am so excited and ready to get back into nursing. I really missed it a lot.

Enjoy the pictures and the next post will probably be after the cruise! Five more days until we leave...yea! :)

Wow! A lot has happened since the last post! I have loaded pictures from graduation that I will post today. We also went to Anna today and finalized all of our options. They got several new granite samples in so we did make a change to our counter tops. I don't have those pictures ready yet but I will get them. Our foundation is scheduled to be poured this Tuesday! The framing will also be done soon and we will do our best to get a lot of pictures. I may have already said this in another post but David Weekly takes pictures and puts them on our website. Dicky and I have a David Weekly website that we can log into and see what part of the process they are in. They also post pictures on our site. It is great because sometimes things are happening so fast and we can't always get out there to take pictures as often as we would like to. Pretty soon I will have a lot more free time. Eight more school days! Dicky will be locking himself in the study and preparing for his first PA test. It is a test over all of the legal issues in medicine. This test is a requirement for PAs effective January 2008 so Dicky is one of the first PAs to take it. Once he finishes that, he will lock himself in the study again to prepare for the PANCE (his big 'ol test). Then we will be on our way to San Juan to cruise and relax! It is about time! :) If things go as scheduled, we will have pictures of the foundation and framing soon. Yea! :)
