Washington State University

We did it! We got in the van, picked up a few USU animal science students and followed Dr. Stott to Pullman, Washington. 12 hours later we finally pulled in to the Veterinary hospital on campus.

Some things we learned:

1. Dr. Stott and his GPS do not = the shortest distance between point A and point B.
2. 18-23 year old girls still think Lynn is funny. idk why. LOL
3. The cardiac unit at the vet school studies grizzly bears while they hibernate to find out why they don't lose bone mass etc. unlike us poor humans.
4. A horse running on a horsie tread mill is quite a sight to see. Especially when he is a show off. Impressive when he runs 27.8 mph and doesn't break a sweat.
5. Becky gets a kick out of other people's pain. Like... the pre-vet student who only wants to study small animals. He was plastered against the wall and white as a sheet while watching the horsie run. Becky laughed and laughed and laughed. She'd have made him get closer to see if he would have actually passed out just to see if she could have gotten away with it, plus she's never seen anyone pass out from fear.
6. 18-23 year old girls put their i-pods in when Becky sings while driving.
7. At least the no-tell motel was clean.
8. Brigham young didn't design their city streets, a cow did.
9. Yep, we could live there.
10. ONE TINY PROBLEM: They're Cougars...ah but their colors are red and black, phew!

***Yes I know I'm slow in posting this, I will get around to adding pictures, I hope. Busy, Busy, Busy. Currently I'm "Leaving No child Untested". LOL

My Unca Yin a Towboy!

My two year old niece, Berkley, plays with this toy and says, "This a towboy. Like my Unca Yin."

Spring Breaking It!

So far we're having one heck of a Spring Break! We woke up to 8 inches of snow this morning! My children cheered because they were supposed to be helping me clean out the flower beds. We just watched snow melt instead.

I'm typing up my lone entry as an "Advanced Candidate" for National Boards. I'm having a REALLY difficult time putting my heart and soul into it. I only have to get .5 better on this entry than last year and I pass. It doesn't help that an instructor from last year told me, "No one cares what score you got. You either are or you aren't. It's like being pregnant. You're not highly qualified pregnant. You either are or you aren't." .5 and I am...

Lynn and I are, Ok I guess I'm a sortof chaperone, as we drive some pre-vet USU students along with Lynn up to WSU (Washington State) on Thursday for a conference. I guess I'll make use of their library and finish typing up my entry. Lynn can talk cows, horses and pigs...oh my!

Lynn says I have to quit telling people how good he is, it embarrasses him and he doesn't like it when people know stuff about him. So don't tell him you read this here. He is concurrently enrolled at USU and Weber State so he can take Organic Chemistry and public speaking this summer. apparently it makes it so he has enough credit to walk at USU next Spring if he loads his Fall and Winter semesters there. Currently he's swearing at the class schedules because he can't fit in histology (sp?) and dang the name of it escapes me at the moment. So he's taking a business class and pig production instead. Lucky him.

I hope your spring break has been warmer than ours!
