--2009--

2009 has had so many changes and things going on...when I get back to the land of cold...aka Arkansas I 'll put up some pictures and write more.

It's been a year?!

Wow, so i am terrible at posting...it's been over a year since my last post and a lot has happened since then. I've finished up the classroom part of school and am now out in the "real world" getting some amazing hands on experience. Didactic year was fun, stressful, exciting, nerve wracking and any other emotion you can think of. I've learned more than i thought my brain can hold and then some. Met some great people and learned all about rural life in Arkansas...for any of you who were wondering...it is very important to "bush-hog" your hunting plot before the season starts and when pronouncing words like "Batesville" the last part of pronounced "veal" not "ville". And lastly...if you are from Texas ask someone else to drive you to school...don't try to take on the ice...not a good idea- it usually wins.

Scrubbing in for Orthopedic Surgery in Guatemala

My translator for a day in Guatemala- She was a God-send!

Fortunately school wasn't the only thing i did this last year. I began to really enjoy photography and editing. Every trip we went on this last year I had my camera with me and had some fun with that. On top of that I got to take one of my friends engagement pictures, which was so fun!
