Work, Life, Allie and a Rutabaga!

So it's been a while since I have posted anything so I thought I'd give a quick update. Life for me lately has been pretty busy. We are somewhat short staffed at work and being the clinic manager I have been filling in where needed which has left me working about 50 hours a week and sometimes bringing home work over the weekend. We have also been very busy trying to get all of the athletes (from little leagers to USU stars) ready to play their sports which has meant some late nights of "Sports Physical Clinics" In fact I just got home from finishing up with the USU athletes! The fun part is I get to be involved in "Sports Medicine" which I love, so it's worth it.
In other news my tummy keeps growing which must mean our little guy is getting bigger. I read the other day that he now weighs as much as a rutabaga (1.5 lbs), and is about 13 inches long. Ha ha even though I was thinking "what the heck is a rutabaga" I can't help but think it sounds pretty dang cute... our little rutabaga.
Cody's ankle is slowly but surely getting better, he starts school again tomorrow and has been working all sorts of over time, which of course makes me miss him, but I'm grateful he's willing to work hard so we can be financially ready when the baby gets here.
As soon as I learn how to post a slide show we have some cute pictures of Allie. She of course is the entertainment of the household lately, and she has a new friend "Jorge" who will be featured in a number of the pictures! Today i left her in her new fancy crate/tent/mansion with food so she'd eat while I was up at the student health center with the athletes (Lately she refuses to eat unless we put her food in her crate with her, I guess she doesn't like to eat out in the open). Well I got home and she had managed to tip the whole thing over on it's side (food, water, blanket, and Allie) She was fine since the whole thing is made of canvas but, needless to say she was very grateful and happy when I got home to rescue her. At least I'm getting some practice in what its like to have a kid right?

Lazy Summer Days...

The Summer semester here at USU just got out a week ago, (Somehow I managed to pass my Biology class YAY!) I was so excited for the 3 weeks I have until Fall semester starts. Then 2 days later this happened. I severely sprained my left ankle while playing basketball at work. I've been on crutches the last couple of days and have also been doing physical therapy. As you can see my foot is very swollen and bruised... oh so much fun. So while Lainie is working away i've been trying to stay busy, (something that is difficult with a bum ankle). I've played a lot of xbox, (soon it will be much more because Madden 09 is coming out on Tuesday) read my scrips, and been doing some charcoal drawings too. I love drawing, especially when i'm the most stressed out, there is almost nothing more relaxing. So if you have anything you would like drawn out, please let me know and we can work it out. Since I use charcoals, Pictures with a lot of contrast and shadow work the best.
