Christopher on the Ross Video

We saw today that Christopher is on the Ross Recruitment Video. To view the video go to:

http://www.rossu.edu/medical-school/

Once you get there click on the link that says "Welcome To Ross" on the lower right hand side. The video should begin. Once it begins he is about 1/3 a way through the video. You can't miss him. It is when they begin to talk about problem based learning. 

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

25 Things About Me

There is this new deal going around on facebook to create 25 things about you. It is kind of like a chain letter, and I have yet to fall into the trend until today when I decided I was bored enough to do it. So here you go, I hope you enjoy it.

1.  I want a dog more than anything in the world, and have for about 5 years now. But I am patiently waiting for the right time to come for me to get one. 
   
2.  I am a planner and have encountered a life in which I can't plan my future. 
   
3.  I have lived in 4 places, 3 countries, and 2 different states within a year and the only place I desire to live is in Oklahoma.
   
4.  I love my family more than anything and can't wait to live near them again.
   
5.  I have learned that there is nothing more powerful than the grace of God and that no matter the situation you can always make it through if you have faith in Him.
   
6.  I love the peacefulness of being by myself.  I feel like being alone energizes me.
   
7.  I truly believe that my husband was created for me. And it is by the grace of God that he loves me everyday. 
   
8.  I feel like I have failed the day if I don't make my bed.
   
9.  I have learned since I moved away from home that my love language is quality time. I could sit on the phone with anyone and not say anything just because I know they are sitting on the phone with me (I know it drives my Mom and Dad crazy)
   
10.  I always have sweaty hands and if they aren't sweating and I think about it, they will sweat.
    
11.  I broke my leg in high school and will never forget my Dad carrying me off the field, he is always there for me and always will be.
    
12.  I hate walking barefoot. I love to have socks on or walk on carpet.
    
13.  I believe that the best thing for my marriage was for us to move away from home.
    
14.  I love the cake shows on the food network and wishfully want to own a bakery.
    
15.  I love that I am just like my Mom, from our mannerisms to our desire to honor and glorify God.
    
16. I have crooked pinkies and I think it's awesome.
17.  Having a brother and a sister is like the best thing in the world, and I love being the middle child.
    
18.  I require at least 8 hours of sleep. If I see past midnight it is a special occasion.
    
19.  I love going to movies but have only seen like 5 movies in the theater in the last 7 years because my husband hates them.
    
20. I secretly want to star as Elfaba on the broadway show Wicked (I guess its not so secret anymore). Although God didn't grant me with the gift of singing, dancing, or acting.
21. I have a weakness for candy.
22. My best friends in the world are those that I don't have to talk to everyday or see very often but when we get together it is like we were never apart.
23. I wish I could remember all of the bible verses I learned when I was little, I think I will make this my new goal in life.
24. I would rather take a road trip than fly.
25. I have learned the power of prayer. It makes everything better.

 

Transportation... Birthdays.... Super Bowl Parties

We finally found a way for us to get around. After debating a lot about whether or not to get a car, a scooter, or a bike we decided that a scooter was the best idea for now. A friend of ours got a car so if we ever needed to us a car we have access to one and it is really almost too far to bike and would cost the same to buy bikes as it would to rent the scooter. So we decided on the Scooter and so far we love it. I will admit I am a little nervous driving it but a little nervousness never hurt anyone I guess. It has been a great way for Christopher to get to campus and home, which I like because now he can come home for lunch. Before we were using the public bus system which is $1.25 one way so it was just a hassle. But we are happy with our new Scooter.

Last Thursday was our friend Adam's birthday. We all went out to dinner and came back to our place to have cake. I made him a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. It was delicious. But we had a great time celebrating Adam's birthday.

On sunday we had a Super Bowl party at our house. We had a lot of fun. Adam brought Chili, Ilene and Knema brought guacomole and brownies, Raksha brought a chili layered dip, Chanel and Colt brought chip and Jered brought the drinks. Christopher and I just made a salad. We had so much fun. We were all rooting for the Cardinals so we were kind of disappointed in the outcome. But oh well it was a fun party and anything that can get these guys away from studying for a few hours is always fun for me.

Here is the whole group watching the game.
