Just Peachy....

Starting tomorrow I will have a peach in my belly. Weird to think that I'm growing a little peach in there...but exciting at the same time. We got to hear the heartbeat on friday.... 164!! Some say that means it will be a girl....most say its a wives tail. My Mom just keeps referring to the baby as Kinsley as shes almost certain it will be a girl (then she admits shes almost dead wrong every time she guesses). I will laugh so hard if the doctor pulls out a Carson. She has already bought Cleveland Indians cheerleading outfits..haha.

Other exciting news....I GRADUATED!!!!

Even more exciting news... I PASSED MY BOARD EXAM!!!!

The best news ever.....we leave for Alaska on Thursdsay!!!!

The life saver....I have 5 weeks off!!!

Life is good...I feel so blessed. We think we have found "the house" different from the other one I showed on here. I'll wait until its for sure ours before I post anything....but its perfect. Life is really flying at lightning speed now but everything is so darn exciting I can't contain myself.

Oh running? hmm...haven't done a whole lot of that. Shoooot! Maybe I'll go now..haha

The Angry Buck...

And I'm not talking about the ohio state buckeyes almost getting beat by Navy. Thats a different angry buck...

So I decided to go for a little trail run the other day after re-discovering some nice trails by my house. I get about 400 yards into the woods and I see a large buck about 4 feet away from my trail. I have never been nervous around deer in my life as I see about 5 a day in my back yard, but I have heard that they will attack if they feel threatened...especially during this season. They never bother me except I have never really been running this close to them. And something about the horns....the girl deer don't really freak me out. But I could just imagine those big horns being jabbed into the little peanut in my stomach. Apparently mother instinct is already kickin in.....


So I make it past the huge buck and look back and hes still making eye contact with me. I look directly to my left and theres ANOTHER buck. This guy only had one little nub horn though...so I thought...eh...that can't do TOOO much damage. But then I looked down and he had his leg up like he was ready to stomp his hoof. I thought " this must be a warning that he's about to attack". So I got big horny buck (that sounds bad) behind me...and little nubby buck in front of me ready to stomp me. I could feel my heart rate pick up a bit as I wasnt sure which way to turn and my tree climbing skills haven't been put to the test in a while. I kept waiting for little nubs to put his hoof down so I could pass....but he wouldn't. Finally I see him take a few steps akwardly and I look down....little nubs is a little nub in more than one way. THe deer has 3 LEGS!!!!!!! THe leg I thought he was holding up to stomp me...was really only a half of a leg. He slowly gimped away and I kept running. Then I get home to find out I just spotted the famous "3 legged deer". Apparently hes been in the newspaper before.

Boy did I feel stupid for being so freaked out by a 3 legged nubby dear. It was a good little run anyway....


Hope ya'll had a great Labor Day Weekend! Only 2 more days of clinical everrrrrrrrrrr!! Yeeehaw!!
