Update Time

Well as you guessed it, life has not slowed down since we last talked. Lets just say I am very thankful to finally be on my vacation month! Whoohoo ;) So as for the update on all my craziness, here we go!

My last rotation was in Lubbock, Texas living with with Mrs. Lubbock and Kaydence Lynn. To make my stay that much better, High School BFF had her precious little boy the first Tuesday I was there! Both little ones are absolutely precious and have their Auntie Lauren wrapped around their tiny little fingers! I sure am lucky that my friends have the most precious kids to keep me busy until I have my own.

So as for the rotation, it was GREAT! I was with Walgreens doing Medication Therapy Management as well as some pharmacy management and other stuff y'all probably do not care about the details, but I had a blast! My preceptor aka boss was great, which no doubt my rotation that much better. It was definitely the best rotation that I have had so far, which led into my vacation month perfectly.

Vacation. . . ahhh can we just sit and think about that for a minute. No homework, tests, studying, working, or dealing with mean customers for an ENTIRE month? No stinkin' way! Well I wish it was that easy, but y'all know I am not the sit back and drink coffee all day kind of girl. So lets just break it down for you . . . (take a deep breath)

I spent one last weekend in Lubbock with my loves and their little ones. On Tuesday I drove to Kansas to Surprise Brother of Mine for a few days (which I have had a ball BTW). Tomorrow I will drive down to Roswell, NM to help Daddy O out at the Eastern New Mexico State Fair. Next Wednesday I am meeting Laker Lover in Artesia to get our hair did (of course), then sometime towards the end of the week I will be headed back to my parents house to re-pack my car before I leave for Washington. On October 8th (the following Tuesday) I am going to ABQ for a few days to see some friends and hopefully work a little. Then the BEST part of the vacation happens after we hit up the Balloon Fiesta, on Ocotober 11th Mother Dearest & I will be loaded down on a week long road trip to Washington for my next rotation!! Whewww, did you get all that?

I can not tell you how excited I am for October the 11th. Knowing that I am a planner, I already have the trip planned out "slightly" but would be willing to take suggestions to cool places to hit up. So far on the itinerary we have: Las Vegas (to see Baylor Babe), Pfieffer Beach (at the suggestion of Future Famous Guy), San Francisco (I am sure Miss Football has a few suggestions here for me?), Napa Valley, National Redwood Forrest, Portland, Seattle's main tourist attractions and the suspension bridge in Vancouver. What places to we need to hit up along the way or in those spots?

I hope y'all are all doing great! Until next time lovelies!

Exciting News Y'all!

First off, I am linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday! Yep that's right, homegirl here is loving her exciting news so here we go . . .

So Monday night after work I remembered that I needed to check the mail. Weird, I know! Who checks their mail at 10:30pm? Well this girl and I am SO happy that I did. It absolutely made my week! Seriously, I am talking about the best news since we won the national Generation Rx award at APhA Annual in LA. By now I am sure you are thinking, "Hurry up already!" or "I am going to stop reading this blog if this girl doesn't spill the beans in the next couple sentences." Lucky for you, I am too excited not to share soon.

As y'all know I adopted a solider at the beginning of the year and up until Monday night, I had not heard from him. My friend Jen, who has adopted soldiers in the past, informed me that this was very normal. I mean hey they are out there risking their lives for our freedom, who has time to write a letter?? Well much to my surprise, my soldier was able to sit down and write me back!! Y'all have no idea how excited I was. I mean y'all have heard me talk about before how I felt like he was one of my good friends without having met him, well now I have met him via a handwritten letter.

Now I don't know if he would want me to share any of his personal information, so I won't say a lot, but I can say a few things. He has been enlisted for 19 years and is currently serving on his second deployment. He is a doctor, married and has 4 wonderful children. He has been able to share my letters and packages with the other 5 soldiers in his medical team. How cool is that? I have actually been sending letters and packages to 6 different soldiers that are all part of a medical team. I don't think that I could have had a better group of soldiers to send letters to if i picked it myself.

So now this is where y'all come in. Remember back in February when I told y'all I was going to send him a box of letters?? Well that time has come. I am going to try to put together a box of letters from my friends and family to send to my soldier and his medical team. If you are interested in helping a sista out and want to send a letter (or anything) to them, please email me: pharmergirl@live.com. From there I will send you my information about getting your letters to me. I am planning on trying to put together the package the weekend of April 6-7th. If you don't think you can get your letter to me by then, just email me and we can figure something out! THANK YOU in advance! If you don't think you can get a letter to me, just do me a favor and keep these men and women of our military in your prayers! That would be more than wonderful.

I hope yall's Wednesday is going just as terrific as mine!
