Galveston Extravaganza

Here are some pictures from my trip to Galveston.
I went to see my little brother and visit him at medical school!
I attended a radiology lecture with him and then Friday night we went to the lab to see his cadaver! Not only did I get to see her, but I got to play with her too!
It was amazing to see the human body. Her liver, spleen and intestines had already been removed but I was able to see her kidneys and the disection of her shoulder, forarm, fingers, skull. It was awesome. I thought I would be grossed out but at the end of it, I was covered in cadaver juice and loved every minute of it. I think it's awesome that the familys and patients donate their bodies to science for bettering the medical field.



As you can see, I was unable to wear make up in Galveston because it's so humid!



Here is Mark and I at IHOP before I left. We had two meals there (he really likes that place).


Then, I wandered up to college station to visit my friend Amanda and attend the Aggie football game with her. We had really good seats and even though A&M lost, we still had fun!


I drove 700 miles in 72 hours but it was definately worth it to see my brother and the cadaver!
I enjoyed my little excursion away from "life" :) but was happy to return home when I did.
Last night, I went to Wally world to stock up on groceries for the month of October (it had been a while, I was out of peanut butter to say the least).
I spent $177.06 for the month (purchased cleaning products, meals, snacks, etc... and saved $18.00 in coupons!!! I was so happy!
I budget $400.00/month for groceries and was excited that I still have about 200.00 left over for eating out or overflowing into my other expenditures :).
Next project I am working is getting Bri's room ready for her new bed!
I am excited and it's forcing me to clean out the guest room. I am getting rid of an old desk and moving her desk into the guest room to free up some room for her bed.
She hardly uses her room at all so it will be perfect!
She just got her first six weeks report card and I'm happy to report that she made all A's and all E's!!! Her best subject is Math.
That's all for now

No, but I did have cadaver brains on my sweatshirt. I washed it as soon as I got home!

27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks today. Is this the third trimester or not?!? Some websites say it is, some says 28 is. So, I'm not too sure. Weight Gain:  33.3 lbs total. Only half a pound of away from what I gained with Jamyson and I still have 13 weeks left (waaaahhhh.....) I feel huge. I am huge! It's harder to walk and my feet hurt now, lol. Exercise:  I'm still walking but I cut back last week and only did 14.7 miles. I broke the 200 miles for the year for the "run the year 2017"! However, the more I walk, the more I eat and the more weight I gain (eek)! Cravings/Diet:  I've been craving lemon lime gatorade. Weird right?! It's delicious. I've also been getting reece's blasts from Sonic. They are so good! I threw in a cooke dough blizzard from dairy queen. That was delicious and not helping with my weight gain. Morning Sickness: Still no morning sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night. Sleep:  Didn't nap as much last week. Just didn...

I hate Mondays!!!!!

Friday night I went to see Highschool musical with Bri. It was a great movie, the best of the high school trilogy by far! Definately made for the big screen. It was about the high school musical cast's senior year. So, it reminded me of when I was in highschool and everyone says, "You have the power to become whatever you want to become... ... Then, you start to think... I want to change the world... I will be 26 in one month and I have realized that when someone tells you that you can be anything you want to be, it is not necessarily true. I do agree that people create their own destiny and are forced to turn any situation into a good one BUT my life turned out nothing like I imagined it. Last night, Bri said she wished that her whole family lived together in the same house and then she started crying. I told her I was sorry she felt that way and that I understood because I used to want to live with ANYBODY else besides my family. When I was in highschool I researched college...
