    I have a cousin-in-law (is there such a thing?) who is the head of pathology at the Cleveland Clinic. She has told me about many of her classes and autospy was one. It's not for everyone, that's for certain :)

    yeah, I'm not doing autopsy lab...just cadaver. There's a big difference.

YAY!

So today was a good day. Went to church, came home and made lunch, took a nap with Westin, hung out with the family while cleaning, went back to church, came home and ate dinner, put westin to bed, took a shower and now this...

Tomorrow is a going to be a good day as well. I have a school tour tomorrow for myself. I'm excited, but nervous too. I am taking Stephen with me to translate. And Westin is coming along as well. I just hope they both behave. Then after the school tour, we are going to visit Dave. ( Our cousin, but Uncle Dave to Westin) then coming home to watch Heroes. Does anyone watch Heroes? It's one of my favorite shows.

Healthy momma = Happy momma

Well, I'm over my cold. I still have a cough and what sounds like a smoker's voice but I feel better. This seems to be going around everywhere. Luckily mine wasn't as bad as other people's stories I've heard. Hopefully all of you have been healthy this past season or getting there.

So I know that most of you know that Stephen and I didn't get the chance to have a wedding ceremony, so I was planning on having one later this year. Due to finances and family not being able to attend due to finances I've decided to put off the wedding and go to school sometime. I'm very excited! I think I know which school I will be going to, but I'm not positive yet. I want to attend the Aveda Institute. I will be a massage therapist and an esthiologist.I will also be able to do make-up and things like that. The program is for 8 months and it's only 3 days a week. I really hope I can get in. They only allow 6 students per class so I'm praying and keeping my fingers crossed!! Stephen and I have also decided that we are going to start trying to get pregnant in November so that Westin can have a sibling. Of course I'm wanting a girl...REALLY REALLY BAD. But I will be happy with whatever God gives me.

It's so hard to believe how fast Westin has grown. He's getting so big. Smarting off, telling me no, sitting in time out....he's like a little teenager. By time we have the baby, he will be about 3 so I think thats a good age to set them apart.

How have you all been?

So...I'm sick.

I'm sick. I'm not sure what I have. It has the symptoms of a cold, but my body aches specifically in my armpits and I'm getting headaches too. So symptoms are as follows:
Sore throat ( which appeared first)
Stuffy/runny nose
Coughing
Sneezing
body aches ( specifically the armpits)
Head aches
eye aches ( if that makes any sense)
and extreme exhaustion/sleepiness.

I haven't checked for a fever yet but I probably should. I think it's just a cold, but I've never had my eyes or my armpits hurt with a cold before. I thought it was weird. Stephen has sinus issues and so far Westin has been pretty good. His nose was acting up a little yesterday but today is nothing so far. This is only the second time I've been sick this winter season, so I'm counting my blessings. I've been drinking orange juice and eating/drinking soups and things of that nature. Plus taking Sudafed, vit.C tablets,Zinc, and cough drops. But I'm out of vit C as of this morning and tissues. Have you guys seen or smelled those new Puffs Plus with Vicks vapors in them? I'm addicted, I just lay one on my face to sniff it. I love them smell of vicks to begin with..now I can smell it without getting my face all sticky and goopy with that stuff.

Well I gotta get going. Westin has gotten himself into the Vit.C and Zinc suckers we got him.....that can be dangerous. Have a good day everyone and STAY HEALTHY!!!

    The pits thing is normal so don't freak out. lol That's where a lot of you lymph nodes are in your pits; they fight viruses, so they're just extra active right now. :-) Sorry you are sick! I had it last week, so I know how you feel!
