Sweet Patients.

I know I'm not supposed to have favorites but sometimes, I just can't help it! One of my favorite patients is Ms. B. A while back I told her something about having a boyfriend and she just got so happy and just went on and on about it. Well, today I saw her in the hall and I went to hug her and talk to her for a minute. Here is the conversation:

Me: Hey Ms. B! I've missed you. Love you. (kiss on the cheek)
Ms. B: Hey There! (returns kiss on the cheek)
Me: Remember me telling you about my boyfriend? Want to see a picture?
Ms. B: Yes. Is he Good lookin'?
Me: Yes ma'am (showed her the picture)
Ms. B: Oh my. Is he as sweet as that too?
Me: Yes ma'am. He's very sweet.
Ms. B: Well, if you get married, let me know.

I just walked away cracking up. It was so cute and sweet. She is definitely my favorite. Don't tell anyone though!

Until next time-

Sidewalk Chalk and Silly String

As many of you know, Matt came to Louisiana at Easter to meet my parents. We had an excellent time. Matt had his first boiled crawfish and he LOVED them! We were able to spend a great amount of time with Mom, Dad and Susan. Matt and I were able to go to church with my mom on Easter Sunday and it was excellent. We headed to Middendorf's for lunch and had thin fried catfish as well as soft shell crab...yum-o...

Mom got Matt and I each an Easter basket with candy and also included were bubbles, sidewalk chalk and silly string. We were instructed that we were to use them ASAP. Tonight, we had a BLAST with our sidewalk chalk and bubbles. Some of the kids in my apartment complex joined in as well. It was so fun watching them play with the chalk and enjoy popping the bubbles we were blowing. A good date, we both agreed!

Here are some pictures...
















It's the little things...

Matt's Birthday-The Georgia Aquarium

Well, I know it has taken me over 2 weeks to post this but as promised here it is. I took Matt to the Georgia Aquarium for his birthday. On the morning we were going he came by early to eat some breakfast and I handed him a card. On the inside, among other things, I wrote: "I like you more than the Georgia Aquarium". This was special because Matt and I often say: "I like you more than ____". He was super excited and we had an absolute blast. I even touched some of the "creatures" just for him. Here are some pictures from the day!!!























We had a super fun time!!! If you get the chance, you should absolutely go!!!

Until next time-
