Fun At A Wedding

So, Jane, one of the docs in clinic was getting married and we were all invited - great I love a good party any day of the week, only problem was my hubby would be out of town at a conference in Montreal. Not so much fun to go to a wedding by myself but I took the opportunity to have a girlfriends sleepover at my house afterwards. Cindy took me up on the offer because she lives in New Jersey and the wedding being in Doylestown that would be quite a long way to go home!!! We had a wonderful time, I really do work with a cool bunch of people and quite uniquely we enjoy each others company. Jane looked beautiful on her special day and I was very grateful to be invited - even if I did have a closet crisis 12 hours before the wedding and had to go to the mall looking for a dress like a crazy woman - found one in the end, always room in my closet for one more dress!!!

This week was my final week of my grad school class and I am happy to report I got a final grade of an "A". Next class is a nursing practicum so I have to think of a project at work to dig my teeth into and then write it up. Looks like we are about to acquire another kitten. This one will belong to Katie who is a gorgeous 17 year old girl, bright and beautiful and full of incredible potential. For several reasons she is living with us right now and for the foreseeable future, she found these kittens at the barn she horse rides at and we agreed to take one, not because we need one more cat in the house but because Katie really needs something of her very own to love right now and she is crazy about animals and because I am a big softie.

I continue to miss Joe but he has been in constant contact and knowing he is having a blast really makes me feel better. He has joined the climbing club, the outdoor club and snowboarding club, is out every night with new friends and loves the campus he is on .......er......homework!! Have not heard much about his classes but knowing Joe he will have it all organized any day now.

This week I also went to another orientation meeting for my upcoming trip to the Dominican Republic - every time I go to these things I wonder what was I thinking when I signed up. Malaria, typhoid, parasitic worms, infected scabies are just a few of the friends I could bring home with me. Due to the recent and vigorous hurricane activity down there we are expected to see many water borne diseases and devastation. I am sure it will be a life changing trip for me ........cannot wait!!
