Accepted, ETC......

On Thursday, Andrew made it home before me and checked the mail. He called me to tell me that what something came from Baptist. He wanted to open it so bad. I let him, but he had to open it with me on the phone so I could hear if he was really opening it with me. He started reading the letter, and it said "On behalf of the faculty and administration of Baptist College of Health Sciences (BCHS), I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted as a new student for Fall 2010 with a major in Nursing." I started crying when I heard it!! I was so happy!! I have waited for this letter for about a month now!! I couldn't believe that I had gotten in!! I just can't wait til I go to orientation in a few weeks!! I never thought that I would be getting in to Nursing school!! It's such a great feeling!! God has truly blessed me!!
---------------------------------------------------
I was still sitting in the Tupelo hospital waiting to go to Birmingham! I was by now really tired of them!! It has started to be a rough week!! I had been in there for an extra week when I thought that I would be in there for just a few more days! I was so ready to go. Well, I didn't see Dr. Guyton that day, but I did see Dr. Amann. I have just about seen every GI dr. in Tupelo area. Dr. Amann came in told me that I would probably going to Birmingham on Saturday. I was so excited!! So, I called my mom and told her what was going on. She and my dad came to sit with me all day on Saturday because we were wanting to get out of there. Andrew had a show so he would just meet us in Birmingham on Sunday. Well as you can probably already guess; I didn't go to Birmingham on Saturday. I felt so bad that my parents had wasted a whole day waiting on no one. I was so mad!! I think by now everyone was getting mad!! I have never wanted to get out of Tupelo so bad in my life!! My parents even went to ask when I was going to leave. They told my parents that I would be transferred on Sunday. By this point, I didn't want to ride in an Ambulance because my parents had their van down stairs, and I could ride in it just fine!! I couldn't ride in a private vehicle because of the Pic. I was like come on people I'm ready to get out of here!! I wanted out of there so bad, but I had know idea what was about to happen next!!

More pictutres from Memorial Day..





Memorial Day Weekend....

Andrew and I left at 9 Sunday morning to drive to Tupelo, and once we got there we got Andrew's parents to drive to Cherokee to visit grandparents and aunts and uncle. We had a great time visiting all of them. We looked back over the year what was going on with all of us. We laughed so hard that we cried most of the time. We talked about it all!! Topics range from A to Z. No topic was left uncovered or untouched!! It was so good to laugh that hard. I will never leave some things down.
We also had some great food!! We ate until our stomachs hurt!! We had ribs, chicken, sausage, hamburgers, and hot dogs. We had all the fixings to go with it!! Great times around the family table!

Here are some pictures of that day:





My sister-in-law, Laura, is going to beauty school. She doing a great job!! She's also counting down the days until she graduates! From today she has 33 more days!! She loves what she does and will be great at it!! We are so proud of her!! Here's her doing her future job:


Like I said earlier great times around the family table:

------------------------------------------------
On Monday, we spent the day with my parents. We had a great time there!! I'm sorry but I didn't get any pictures. They will come soon! We had ribs, deer steaks, the fixings,and cakes. I did make my cake again to carry to both. We only brought home like two pieces!! We had a fun time visiting family, but it was so good to come home last night!! I love going home to visit, but I love my home here in Hernando and love my friends that we have made here!
Casper had a great time as well!! He loves to play with Moe and Gus. He always gets really dirty when he plays with them!! Today all he's done is go out to use the bathroom and slept! He's always like this. They play so hard!! He was also excited to see Carlie, my younger sister. She just pets him and falls asleep while she's doing it! He's one spoiled dog!!
------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, during the journey of last year. I was just hanging out in my room waiting for the day that I would transfer to Birmingham!! I was so exacted!! Andrew was also excited!! All my nurses could tell that I was getting fed up with them and wanted better care. It took them about 20 minutes every time I called the desk to get to me!! They began to hate me by the end of the week because I called the patient care number about 10 times on them!! I just got of them not really showing me that they cared just a little bit. I was NOT a needy patient(one that needed everything done for me) but when I called I wanted them to give me as much as they were giving the other patients. I was a paying customer and most of them were not!! Tupelo has a lot of problems that are just uncalled for. I will never go back to that hospital as a patient! I do NOT trust them! The only thing I think I would go there for is to have a baby if I had too! I still haven't filled out a patient survey on the Tupelo hospital, and they didn't want me too!! I was going to give the a piece of my mind, and I wasn't going to be nice about it!! I was dying, and I didn't feel like they cared that much!
Andrew was ready for me to get away from there too! He called them all idiots. He could tell that I was getting miss treated, and he didn't like that at all. Andrew would call me every night before I went to bed and tell me that it would not be much longer before I went somewhere that cared!! He loved me and wanted everything to be better for us!! I cried every time and wanted him there with me, but I knew I would need him more in Birmingham than I did in Tupelo. He was just waiting to for the call that I was being transferred. I was just praying that day would come sooner than later!!
