Hello All!

The news Dan and I have been waiting for all year finally was revealed yesterday. I was accepted into the UCA Dietetic Internship!!!!!! It starts May 18 and I will finish in August of 2010. After that I will be eligible to sit for my Registered Dietitian exam as well as have completed my Master's. I am so excited! I set my alarm for Midnight on Sunday so I could wake up and check it. Once I checked it, I didn't go back to sleep until about 4 and my alarm was set for 5 b/c I was meeting a girl at 5:30 to run. Needless to say, I did not get much sleep and I had to babysit all day yesterday. It was hectic but worth losing sleep over. I am so thankful the Lord worked everything out so perfectly. He knew I would be at UCA this whole time and He provided that house in Vilonia for us. That way it is a much shorter drive than if I had gotten into UAMS or Nashville :). Thank you Jesus! Nothing else going on here. I have my last final for school today and my last clinic for LEND tomorrow. We are leaving Friday to go to Nashville, TN for the big race! We are so excited about the weekend and I am somewhat nervous. I am praying the weather is perfect and my legs are strong! I know it will be a lot of fun even if the race isn't what I am hoping it will be. We are getting to see a lot of family and spend time with them and that will be well worth the trip. My cousin Valerie and my birthdays are next week so my grandma is having a little cookout for our birthdays after the race. It will be great. I'll post pics later.

Thanks for all your prayers for the internship. I know the Lord heard and He definitely provided. The pics I am posting today are from our White River trip a couple of weekends ago. I finally downloaded them onto the comp.

God Bless!

Overdo

Hey guys,

I realize this is long overdo but at least I am getting to it now! Since the last update a lot has changed in our lives. A brief up date is as follows:

We have bought a house in Vilonia, AR. We close on May 1 and will be moving, painting, and laying hardwood those first 2 weeks of May. We are super excited! I will post some before and after pics later! That will put Dan 30 minutes closer to work so he is pumped about that....as well as am I so I will see him sooner in the day :)

I find out in 7 days about the internship. I will update when I know something about that.

I have one more LEND class and 2 clinics until my UAMS class is up and one more class and a final before stats is over for the semester! I am super ready for that. Friday is my big presentation on my research project and leadership project for LEND. It makes me extremely nervous to talk in front of people but it is real informal so that helps. Once I do that I am finished...so that is incentive to get it over with too!

My marathon is in 2 weeks. I am finished with long runs and ready for the race! I feel very good about it. All my long runs were good and within my goal time so I am hoping that the week of the race is the same. I know it will be good no matter what! I am just excited about a mini-vacation and time with the family.

Dan bought a new car! I don't remember if I told y'all that but he got a 2008 black Altima. We love it. Gas mileage is 10x better than the ole truck. We miss the truck but are happy about saving money for now.

Dan and I went fishing this last weekend on the White River with Eric and April. It was so much fun! We got there late Friday and fished all day Saturday and then enjoyed some Tommy's Famous pizza Saturday night. We caught lots of fish and are ready for a fish fry!

I am currently babysitting my friend Timbre's son...Mason. He is a cutie patootie! He's a rotten little boy but so fun to be around. He is 4 months this week. I don't know what I am going to do at the end of April as far as keeping him more. I keep him 2x a week now but when I find out about the internship next week we will decide about if I continue to keep Mason. I was tutoring a girl for about a week also. She is a dietetic student at UCA that was struggling in Physiological Chemistry 2 but ended up dropping it after the first week of tutoring. Guess that's not my calling in life :) Oh well!

I think that is a brief update on us. I will try to do better from now on.

Hope y'all are having a wonderful Monday.

God Bless!
