July, a busy month

at 07/10/09 7:07PM

I am officially done with school (as of 4/24/09) and started a new job at Memorial Hermann in the Medical Center. I found out today that I will be in the labor & delivery/antepartum tract for my orientation (instead of postpartum) and I am very happy about that. Lately, I have been staying with my friends that live right next to the Medical Center when I have work b/c it saves me so much time in traffic and $ for gas commuting. Only two more weeks and I won't need to do that anymore! : ) Zach and I just had our 2 year anniversary! We have grown a lot in our marriage and I look forward for what is to come... : ) We are moving from Galveston to Houston over a period of about 3 weeks starting July 25th. It will be so much closer to work (like 5 min. to work). Our in-laws are coming down on Aug 7th so we are excited that they will get to stay in our new and slightly bigger apartment. Zach is done with school/classes mid-august and then he will be in his internship; one place for the fall, and another for the spring. We are going to start packing some things up today for our first day of move in next week. If anyone likes to climb up and down stairs let us know b/c we live on the 3rd floor in our current apt! : D

How exciting that you will be in L&D...awesome!! I'm so happy for you...just wish we could work together...then you could help me in 6 months :) Congrats on 2 years with Zach...WOW...ha-ha, j/k!! You two are a wonderful couple and I'm so happy you are doing so well. Hope your move goes well. I know you will enjoy being close to work. Take Care! I'll post pictures...when my belly grows a bit more :)

fun! I put in a request to go to Memorial Hermann next semester. But we don't really go to labor & delivery. Maybe I'll run into you somewhere though! :)

by iluv2laff at 07/10/09 10:45PM
so excited for you guys! Hope the move goes well. I'll be out of town for the next two weeks, but let me know moving days, maybe I can bring down my nitro to help move stuff!

Thankful

Zach got a call around 2pm today that we could go to the island to "look and leave" today until 6pm. We rushed to 45 and got to the island. Thankfully our actual apartment is doing just fine. No damage! There are some areas of the complex that are damaged though. Here is one pic that I took today. I will post more later.

This is of the bridge that crosses the lake we live by. You can't see our apartment from this view, but as you can see, the apartments are still standing. Thank God!

Here is the parking lot. It's obvious that there was flooding b/c of all the sand/mud.

Zach has more pics here: http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=52683&l=ba05c&id=551007516

I'm glad you got to take a look today.

by jennifermy at 09/16/08 11:44PM
Glad you got in to see and your apartment is ok.

by sunshinebear at 09/17/08 7:48AM

by whatsyourconfession at 09/17/08 9:09AM
SOOOOOOOO happy for you guys! :-)

by bacon_bits at 09/17/08 3:46PM

by sheofgod at 09/18/08 12:02AM
Wow! Thanks for sharing the pics. I'm so glad everyone is safe & your stuff didn't get damaged. Love ya'll!! :)

by ambera at 09/18/08 10:33AM

Zach and I evacuated Galveston on Thursday and made our way to Derek and Amber's with my two nieces. We only stayed until Saturday around noon. We then headed back to Santa Fe to find my sister's house with out power (but running on a generator). The floors were all wet, and not from any flooding. Just having the windows open down here w/all the humidity caused a lot of condensation. Today Zach and I tried to get to Galveston via Hwy 6 and 45, but were turned around both times. We just wanted to see if our apartment made it out OK. We are thinking about trying tomorrow with my UTMB badge, but don't plan on beeing successful... Today we saw ABC13 sky eye broadcast an aerial video of the West side of Galveston. They were going from west to east on the sea wall and when they finally got to where our apartments should be, they panned around to look at Moody Gardens and thereby skipping us! : ( It is a bad feeling being denied access to your home. But, I don't think I have much room to talk considering all those homes shown that have been destroyed. Tonight we are staying with my other sister Aimee who also lives in Santa Fe. Thankfully she has power. I am continually reminding myself of all the blessings that remain even if all our material possessions get washed away!

***UPDATE***
Today (Monday) we saw our apartment complex from a distance from channel 2's sky 2 helicopter. It looks as if it is still standing! yay! : )

I mentioned on Z's site, but the emergency email system is no longer in effect. The usual UTMB email is supposed to be up and running. Love you guys soooooooooo much and glad you are OK. Our love to ALL down there.

by biobo at 09/15/08 7:22AM
Hang in there! We are praying for you and Zach!

by sunshinebear at 09/15/08 8:00AM
I will say a pray for y'all. I'm glad that you are safe.

by jennifermy at 09/15/08 10:07AM
YAY!!! for your apartment still standing!;-)

by whatsyourconfession at 09/15/08 2:02PM
I have been praying for you! :-) I hope all turns out well, and please feel free to call us if you need ANYTHING!! We are coming back into town tomorrow and will be staying with my parents until our power is back.

by bacon_bits at 09/15/08 7:55PM
glad to hear you guys are alright. I hope you get to return home soon! NO place like home :)

by violet at 09/16/08 7:20AM
I hope you get to see it soon! Let us know if you need anything. We love ya'll! :)

New Job

at 06/13/08 8:44PM

Monday, June 16 I am starting a new job at UTMB. I will be working as a PCT (patient care tech) which is like a CNA. The good thing about working at UTMB is that since I am a student nurse at UTMB I am allowed to practice some of my skills. I've heard that I will get to draw blood and start IVs. I don't know if they will let me give meds since I am not in clinicals. I shall see.

I learned a neat trick when it comes to dusting the house (thanks to Amber). If you save the old fabric softener sheets from the dryer you can use them as dusting cloths. They work very well to pick up and hold the dust! I started saving mine today. : )

Just recently I was awarded a scholarship for my schooling next year! It will help cover a big chunk of tuition, which makes Zach and I very happy! Also, this past Monday Zach was inducted into an Occupational Therapy Honor Society, Pi Theta Epsilon. Zach was also voted to be the president of it! : )

Also, for those of you who don't already know: Gospel Meeting at Bacliff Church of Christ starting June 22!

Congrats on the new job... I am sure you will love it. Hope all is going well.

by kimpeck at 06/13/08 9:47PM
I know you will do a great job! Congrats to you & Zach both! I love all of the pictures!

by melissakaye at 06/13/08 10:11PM
They shouldn't let you give meds. If they try to, refuse. You'll have plenty of time to do that after you graduate!

by kerrigan at 06/14/08 12:16AM
Congrats on all the great news!! I'm so happy for you and Zach! Enjoy your new job!

by sunshinebear at 06/14/08 2:02PM
I have an idea.... it is about this summer and possible nx month

by texas_kandikane at 06/19/08 4:50PM
Thanks Audrey! Congrats to both you and Zach! Very exciting news! Scholarships and honor societies are awesome :)

by violet at 06/20/08 11:31PM
dust, who dusts anymore? J/K. So, you guys are doing sooo well and I'm proud of you both, wow! good job. You'll be seeing Gary and his friends tomorrow I guess. Love you both and miss you.

by whatsyourconfession at 06/26/08 4:57PM
I am proud of both of you. I know yall have a long promising future ahead and I am sure you will both make the best of every day that God has blessed us with.

by aimeeking at 07/03/08 12:30PM
