Viewer discretion is advised....

So all semester I have been dissecting things in my Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy class! This has been, by far, the hardest class I've ever taken. Throughout the semester I've written 5 essays and after each of those essays I've had to grade 3 of my peer's papers, we've taken 2 lecture test and I'm about to take the 3rd test in lab.

Lab has been my favorite part of the class, lecture is another story!!! Our first animal that we dissected was a dogfish shark(I named mine Harvey)! We then dissected a mudpuppy and I can't remember what I named her :(.

Our last assignment for lab has been to dissect a cat. My cat is HUGE, I think one of the parents was a tiger,ha!!! I named my cat Mr. Whiskers!

I also have met a really good friend in this class (we've had other classes together before) and her name is Jana. She's such a sweet girl and we work so well together!!!

I thought I'd share a few pictures of what lab is like everyday!





This is Jana :)

Our family dog is missing...

Sunday night my parents let our family dog(fergison) out to go potty before bed. It was around 9:00 pm and after several minutes, my mom went to call him back in b/c he had not come to the door and he wasn't anywhere in sight! My family looked for him until about 11:30 and then called it a night!

My family is really upset and has called anyone and everyone, the vet, pound, friends and family, radio stations and my mom is putting an article in the paper today! They put fliers out Monday afternoon and a lady called saying she had seen him that morning, but it was a really weird story that didn't make much sense!

Needless to say, our family still doesn't have fergison and we're not sure what's happened to him. At first we thought maybe a coyote had gotten him, but we haven't found any signs of that.

We're praying that an honest person has picked him up and will hopefully return him sooner than later! It breaks my heart, one bc my family loves him and even though he's just a dog, he's a part of the family! My dad is taking it really hard and that makes things worse! I also hope that if he's not dead somewhere that he's not too sad, although I know he has to be b/c he's with someone strange!

I'll keep you guys posted and I hope fergison comes home!

November 6, 2008

This date marked Danial and I's 6 months! I know, I know... we've got a long way to go :) It's weird that in some ways it seems like we've been together forever, but in some ways it seems like we haven't been together long at all!



Thursday, Danial and I celebrated by going to dinner at P.F. Changs! It's become one of our favorites and we still had a gift card that we needed to use, so we figured why not enjoy a great dinner at a reasonable price!



I thought I'd get him something, not expecting anything in return of course, b/c it was only our 6 mos. anyways, right! I went to steinmart a

few days earlier and picked him out a really cute outfit b/c he's been in need of some jeans and I figured I'd get him a button up to match ;) He loved it!



Danial actually got me something, which he usually always does and it was a really thoughtful, but different gift! He got me a coffee mug (for hot chocolate), a movie for us to watch that night after dinner (sleepless in Seatle) and some pjs b/c I LOVE PJ'S! so.....why so weird....well... b/c the pj's are a full length, footed, ONSIE!!!!!! hahahahahahaha..... they're the most amazing thing I've ever owned and have worn them almost every night since he got them for me :) I love them and they'll probably be one of my favorite gifts that he'll ever get me!



I figured I'd share a picture with you :)

Weekend in Knoxville

Danial and I went to Knoxville this past weekend! His Dad's family all live there and his Cousin, Spencer, plays for Maryville College. We went up to watch his game (senior night) and spend the weekend with the family. We drove up early Saturday morning b/c we had to work Friday night! We followed his sister and brother-in law up there and stopped at Waffle House on the way!


The beautiful drive up to Knoxville

We went to the game, which they won and then ate at TGI Fridays after it was over! That night we stayed at his Grandmother's house! We then went to church with her in the morning, helped her get her Christmas tree down from the Attic and had a yummy breakfast before we headed home!

We had such a great time and hope to visit more often! The weather was perfect and the trees were so beautiful, I love fall!

Pumpkin Carving....I know, a little behind :)

Danial and I carved our first pumpkin together!!!We looked on the internet for awhile, trying to decide what to carve and we found a Lady and the Tramp picture and loved it!!! Here is our huge, awesome pumpkin....





The finished product!

We were proud

Danial did a lot of the hard work :)
