I spent my first 3 months from February to May in Lafayette, Louisiana working at <a href="http://www.fontanacenter.com/home" target="_blank">The Center for Work Rehabilitation at the Fontana Center</a>. They specialize in a very specific kind of occupational therapy - industrial rehab. I spent my days with guys who were going out to work in the oil field testing them to make sure they were fit for duty and could fulfill all their essential job functions. We also taught them proper body mechanics and lifting techniques so that they would be safe on the job and avoid any type of work-related injury. I also completed several Functional Capacity Evaluations, which are 1-3 day assessments to determine if a person is fit to return back to work after an on-the-job injury or an illness that required them to take a significant amount of time off work. I had some pretty neat opportunities, like visiting an oil rig, analyzing a Pepsi factory and special ed buses for ergonomics, learning about helicopters, and attending a state-wide council to fight for the OT scope of practice.<br />

I was incredibly blessed to be able to live with a family from church for those 3 months. They housed me, fed me, treated me like one of their own, and kept me company while I was missing home. I feel forever indebted to them.<br />
<br />
While working about 60 hours a week I rarely had time for sight-seeing and enjoying the Louisianan culture, but every once in a while an opportunity presented itself.<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to have the chance to experience Mardi Gras. The parades and festivities last for weeks. I collected more beads than I could count.<br />

Those 3 months were the hardest of my life between having an incredibly difficult fieldwork and being away from home and only seeing Brad twice. And to be honest, I haven't seen any sort of immediate benefit, but I have no doubt that one day I will be grateful for the time I spent working in Louisiana.</div>

Well, hello there, blog. It's been a while. Over a year in fact. There have been many times I've let this blog slip - not posting as often as I'd like or see fit, but this is just down right pathetic. A whole year of our lives that I could have (and should have) documented has passed. I most likely won't remember those little moments that at the time meant so much to me or the events that we attended with friends or the hard times we went through, all because I didn't write about them. It's quite sad. But thankfully, we take a good deal of pictures, and going through all of those precious photos from the past year stirred up some sweet memories that I just have to write about or those times will be lost forever.</div>
Per tradition (albeit almost 4 months late), here is my annual overview of our year - 2013.<br />
Here are the links to our previous years' reviews: <a href="http://andersenbc.blogspot.com/2010/01/remembering-2009.html" target="_blank">2009</a> <a href="http://andersenbc.blogspot.com/2011/01/look-back-at-2010.html" target="_blank">2010</a> <a href="http://andersenbc.blogspot.com/2012/01/good-bye-2011.html" target="_blank">2011</a> <a href="http://andersenbc.blogspot.com/2013/01/2012-year-in-review.html" target="_blank">2012</a><br />

Brad begins practicing dental work on his very first patient - me! Killer looks on curiously wondering if I'll make it through alive. Thankfully, Brad has learned A LOT since this first live rubber dam practice round. Brad brings Bob's (his mannequin from school) mouth home several times this month to practice on some teeth that don't have a head attached.<br />

I go to Camp TBI. A week long summer camp for kids that have suffered traumatic brain injuries. I spent the week taking care of two campers. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but I wouldn't change it for the world. (Build-A-Bear donates a stuffed animal for every child that went to camp. I will forever sing their praises.)<br />

Early in the month, my brother Thomas had a bad skateboarding accident where he hit his head, fracturing his skull and sustaining a traumatic brain injury. My professors were beyond understanding, and I was able to take some time off school to go home. I spent many a night and day in the ICU, wearing my T4 visitors badge, and taking pictures for Thomas to see when he was able. The dogs and I traveled a lot back and forth to my parents' house. A few times Brad was able to come with us as well. Please make sure you, your children, and anyone else you know wears a helmet whenever they do anything with the potential for injury. Helmets can save your life (and your brain)! If you'd like updates on Thomas, check out his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Thomas-Road-to-Recovery/170598516467808" target="_blank">facebook page</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">In November, Thomas gets transferred to an inpatient rehab hospital where he begins to return to his old self. One night my dad take a break from the hospital life and go to dinner. While at dinner a lady came up to us and offered us free tickets to the Tennessee basketball game. She said her work gave them to her, and she couldn't use them and her kids didn't want them. So we gladly took the tickets and the free parking pass. It was a nice break.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">My OT class decided that we wanted to throw the faculty and staff of our department a Thanksgiving lunch to show them how much we appreciated all that they had done for us up until this point. I offered to cook the turkey. I was planning on collected a dollar from all my classmates and going to the grocery store to buy one. However, one of the gentlemen that is affiliated with our school owns some turkeys and raises them for fun. So one of my classmates (who frequently hunts) asked if we could have one of his turkeys for our dinner. We were told we could! A few days later the gentleman called my classmate, Charlie, and said one of his turkeys had escaped, so Charlie needed to come catch it and we could keep that one for our dinner. Charlie calls me up and Brad and I meet him to go turkey hunting. We shot the turkey, defeathered, gutted him, and threw him in a cooler. I then took our prize home, spent 3 hours pulling out feather quills, brined him, and cooked him. This was a stinking big turkey. Before we prepped him, he probably weighed 40 pounds. I couldn't get him in and out of the oven by myself. While everyone enjoyed the turkey, from now on, I will be content with simply purchasing a frozen bird for 40 cents a pound.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">DECEMBER</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">One of the first things we did in December was get Killer's teeth cleaned. You're supposed to get your dog's teeth cleaned every 2 years. We certainly hadn't done that, seeing as how Killer was 3 1/2, and they were pretty nasty. So I dropped her off at the vet at 7:30am and waited all day to go back and pick her up. Finally around 3pm I called asking when we could come get her. They had to put in an IV, so when she was returned to us she had a nice little bandage to show for her spotlessly clean teeth.</span><br />

One of the many things I love about owning our own home is that we can have a real live Christmas tree every year. And we have very tall ceilings, so we can get tall trees that look beautiful and full up a whole room. This year we got our tree at Costco. It was about 8 feet tall and cost $30. And it was a beautiful full tree. If you're in the market for a tree this Christmas, definitely check out Costco. You do have to go pretty early though, because they sell out quick.<br />

We also went to the REI garage sale in Asheville, NC while visiting my grandparents. It's a first-come first-serve sale, so we got there unbelievable early, set up our sleeping bags and waited until 10:00 when the sale opened. <br />

For New Year's Eve/Day we decided to go beach camping. The dogs LOVED it, and Brad thoroughly enjoyed it as well because there were lots of scraggly trees and driftwood to take pictures of.<br />

2013 was a great year for us. We worked hard, studied hard, and played hard. We added to our little family and got another year of our educations under our belt. We experienced great tragedy and witnessed earth-shattering miracles in more ways than pictured here. In 2013 we were blessed beyond measure. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Friday finally came, and we thankfully only had a half day. The OT Lindsey and I were <span style="font-size: small;">shadowing <span style="font-size: small;">went out of t<span style="font-size: small;">own Thursday night, so we hung out with the lady who was over all the rehab in the hospital. We learned a ton! Then we went home!</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was so excited to see Killer! And she was so excited I was home! I think she was expecting Brad to walk th<span style="font-size: small;">rough the <span style="font-size: small;">door<span style="font-size: small;">, beca<span style="font-size: small;">use when she saw me she just went crazy. I could<span style="font-size: small;">n't get her to stop licking <span style="font-size: small;">me for probably about 20 minutes. She was crying and <span style="font-size: small;">whining</span> and licking, clearly excit<span style="font-size: small;">ed I was home. I<span style="font-size: small;">t al<span style="font-size: small;">ways makes you feel good to know you're loved.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> And the Killer pup definitely loves me. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Brad got home a little while later<span style="font-size: small;">, and he and Killer were both nice enough to take a nap with me. I was <span style="font-size: small;">beyond exhaus<span style="font-size: small;">ted. I sle<span style="font-size: small;">pt until dinner, came home and slept until 10 the next morning.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">My week in Sout<span style="font-size: small;">h Carolina for fieldwork <span style="font-size: small;">was not what I expected. Wi<span style="font-size: small;">thout <span style="font-size: small;">going into too much det<span style="font-size: small;">ail, <span style="font-size: small;">Lindsey and I were both a little disap<span style="font-size: small;">ointed by our experience. We wer<span style="font-size: small;">e so excited to go t<span style="font-size: small;">o this site and had o<span style="font-size: small;">ur sights set high that it would be an am<span style="font-size: small;">azing learning <span style="font-size: small;">opportunity<span style="font-size: small;">. We were let down greatly, but we did l<span style="font-size: small;">earn about<span style="font-size: small;"> how we would li<span style="font-size: small;">ke to change the mental he<span style="font-size: small;">alth field if we were ever to go into it.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Lindsey.<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">I will never be able to say too many nice things about this girl. We hadn't really spent that much time together <span style="font-size: small;">before this trip<span style="font-size: small;">, so we both didn't really know what to ex<span style="font-size: small;">pect Sunday night as we were <span style="font-size: small;">making the 2 hour trip together. We quickly bonded over our mutual disdain for the unkempt apartment, the squeaky beds, (the la<span style="font-size: small;">ck of sleep we were getting because of them), and our ideas about life in general. <span style="font-size: small;">As the week passed<span style="font-size: small;">, and I learned more and more a<span style="font-size: small;">bout her, the more and more I really liked her. She is seriously o<span style="font-size: small;">ne of the most open and honest people I know. She is kind-hearted and tender-souled. She is funny, has an amazing work e<span style="font-size: small;">thic<span style="font-size: small;">, and doesn't let anything stop her.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

It's pretty awe<span style="font-size: small;">some. Definitely one of the hig<span style="font-size: small;">hlights of the week. After breakfast was made<span style="font-size: small;">, and we<span style="font-size: small;"> were all <span style="font-size: small;">at our spots sitting around the table, the OT asked everyone to say something they were thankful for. Lindsey was one of the last <span style="font-size: small;">ones to go. Her response <span style="font-size: small;">took me by surprise. <span style="font-size: small;">Sh</span>e commented on <span style="font-size: small;">how th<span style="font-size: small;">ankful she was that she was able to spend the week with me<span style="font-size: small;">. She said how she sta<span style="font-size: small;">rted off the <span style="font-size: small;">week a littl<span style="font-size: small;">e nervous because she didn't know what to expect, but she was so glad for the way it turned out. She was grateful I made all those freezer meals so that we never had to eat out while we were there. <span style="font-size: small;">She said sweet thing after sweet thing. <span style="font-size: small;">After her turn was over, one of the patients I was sitting by leaned over and <span style="font-size: small;">s<span style="font-size: small;">aid, "That was so nice. That was so nice." He was right<span style="font-size: small;">; that <span style="font-size: small;"><i>wa<span style="font-size: small;">s</span></i><span style="font-size: small;"> so nice.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">The middle of the week hump needed a little pick-me-up. Lots of the patients suggested we head downt<span style="font-size: small;">own and check out the <span style="font-size: small;">great little candy shop there. Lindsey and I <span style="font-size: small;">both LOVE candy, like serious ob<span style="font-size: small;">session. Her's might even be worse th<span style="font-size: small;">an mine, and I didn't <span style="font-size: small;">think <span style="font-size: small;">it was possible for so<span style="font-size: small;">me<span style="font-size: small;">one to have a <span style="font-size: small;">bigger candy sweet tooth than me.<span style="font-size: small;"> But she may just take the ca<span style="font-size: small;">k</span>e.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was a really great candy shop. I'm so glad we went! They had all sorts of old-timey candy, like candy buttons, taffy, and smartie pops (my favorite).</div>

The lady who ran the shop was just the sweetest! I told Brad about her, and he said, "Oh course, she's sweet. She runs a candy shop!"<br />
There was a huge random purple gorilla just outside the shop. Couldn't pass up that photo op.<br />

The downtown was so cute. There were tons of nice little shops, a big ship, and a great amphitheater area. There were also at least 10 or 12 of these swings. Perfect for sitting in and enjoying the ocean view.<br />

Later on we stopped by a chocolate shop. While Lindsey was picking out something delicious for herself, I found this. It was ridiculously expensive or I would have bought it for Brad. So I took a picture instead.<br />

But I have<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>all the pictures nicely organized and ready to go<span style="font-size: small;">, s<span style="font-size: small;">o I need to finish.<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">I haven't wanted to write anything else until I finished these</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>,
so if not for any other I need to finish these March posts so I can
write about other things that happen in our lives besides all those
things from 2 months ago. Plus, what else is there to do when you're up all night with a new puppy.</div>

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">This was my first day of my mental he<span style="font-size: small;">alth fi<span style="font-size: small;">eldwork. I was really excited about this one! I felt like <span style="font-size: small;">I got a great placement<span style="font-size: small;">, and I was <span style="font-size: small;">really interested in the OT aspect of mental health care. There's a great <span style="font-size: small;">housing <span style="font-size: small;">program across the south (maybe the nation??) for hea<span style="font-size: small;">lth care stud<span style="font-size: small;">ents that's designed just for things like this. They have apartments that are reserved just for migrant students. So L<span style="font-size: small;">inds<span style="font-size: small;">ey calls them up, tells them will be coming, and they mail us a key. They great thing is that if you're a resident of th<span style="font-size: small;">e state you<span style="font-size: small;">'re doing <span style="font-size: small;">your rotation in it's almost always FREE. Since we went to South Carolina<span style="font-size: small;">, not our state of re<span style="font-size: small;">sidence<span style="font-size: small;">, we only paid $<span style="font-size: small;">7</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;">5 for the week. N</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">ot too shabby considering there's no</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"> way we could have gotten a hotel for this price AND we had </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">a kitchen</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">. I made freezer meals the Saturday before </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">we left, so we n</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">ot once had to eat out. It was great. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Unfortunatel</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">y, the apartment wasn't up to either of our <span style="font-size: small;">cleanliness</span> standards, the beds were uncomfortable and squeaked every time you moved, and our room<span style="font-size: small;">mate was a weirdo. But really, it was<span style="font-size: small;"> $<span style="font-size: small;">75. We couldn't complain.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">It was a gorgeous day outside</span>. I didn't have class. And I spent the whole day making freezer meals for both myself and Brad since I was going to be away the whole next week. While I was in the kitchen, I left the back door open for Killer to come and go as she pleased. I hadn't seen her in a while so I quietly walked outside to see what she was doing, because I naturally assumed she was getting into trouble. I found her laying in one of our flower beds, soaking up the warmth that the black dirt radiated. </div>

Well that was completely unacceptable. I couldn't have my sweet pup laying in the dirt. So I brought out some towels for her and laid them on the back porch. Before I could even call her over she came trotting to lay on the much more comfortable towels. She just laid soaking up the sun and getting her daily dose of Vitamin D for the rest of the afternoon, and I watched her through the open door as I worked in the kitchen. Perfect afternoon.</div>

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Right ne<span style="font-size: small;">xt door lives a dog named <span style="font-size: small;">Herb</span></span>. He's a <span style="font-size: small;">basset</span> hound and loves to howl all day.</span></span></span></span> Sometimes he escapes into the front yard through an open garage door, and usually when this occurs Killer also just happens to be out front as well. Killer really enjoys Herb's company, and Herb has quite the eye for her. Herb is a long dog with short stubby legs, and Killer loves it when he chases her around the yard, probably because he can never catch her. These two are just great friends.Whenever Killer is in the backyard and hears Herbie running around out there she immediately goes to this one place in the fence where some of the wood has broken away, and she and Herb can stick their noses through and greet each other. Occasionally I see Herb's little nose sticking through just waiting for Killer to notice him. Today I got a picture. I think it's so cute. Unfortunately, it's much easier to see this sweet scene in person, but if you look closely you can see Herb's snout on the other side of the fence.</div>

Later in the afternoon Killer and I met Brad at the river and took a little walk by the waterfall once he was done with class. Killer loves loves LOVES the river trail. We usually let her off her leash when no one's around, and she really has fun running free.</div>

I really enjoy days like these. I love that we live so close to such a beautiful trail that we can take our dog on whenever. I also love that I can just meet Brad after school and walk to a waterfall. I love how much fun Killer has running around, and I love how much she loves Brad. She is a daddy's girl through and through. I just love those two!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ok, so these first pictures were <span style="font-size: small;">actually taken on March 10, but I just forgot to blog about them, so I'm <span style="font-size: small;">doing it now. Being inspired by <span style="font-size: small;">The Biggest Loser<span style="font-size: small;">, we decided we would try and make spag<span style="font-size: small;">hetti squash. They ta<span style="font-size: small;">lk about it all the time on the show<span style="font-size: small;">; we're never inspired to work<span style="font-size: small;">out after watching,<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>but</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple;"> </span></span></b>we are inspired to cook. We bought a squash, we watched youtube videos on how to cook it, and we went to work. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First, you cut the squash in half lengthwise. This is definitely the hardest part. These things are thick and dense and very difficult to cut. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then you place the two halves inside part down on a foil lined baking sheet. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cook for about an hour on 375. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pull them out of the oven and let cool for about 30 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then go around the edges and pull the fruit out just tad.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once you've gone all the way around you can just start scooping it out. It's really so so cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the videos we watched said you can just put it in a bowl with some butter and toss with Parmesan cheese. I'm sure this would be delicious, but we topped it with homemade marina sauce. I was beyond shocked at how it tasted exactly like spaghetti noodles, right down to the texture. We will definitely be making it again.</div>

Ok. So now onto March 13. Nothing too exciting happened today, and by the time 9:00 rolled around I realized I still hadn't taken a daily picture to blog about. Brad decided he needed to feel a little smarter while studying, so he put on these fake glasses we love to play with. They definitely helped boost our studying power. Even Killer felt a little smarter.</div>

It's seriously so amazing how these people completely turn their lives around. I'm always awestruck at how different they look at the finale. Unfortunately, I'm never really motivated to get up and do something after I see the show. I guess I just workout vicariously through the contestants. Plus the whole yelling at you until you do what I want thing just doesn't really work for me. Anyways, after sending Amy home with half the pie we made and eating some more ourselves we had one slice left. So what did we do, we sat down and watched The Biggest Loser while eating apple pie and ice cream. </div>

Oh, and just for fun, here's a picture of Killer from earlier in the day. (Don't mind the orange Fanta is the windowsill. I was studying for my practical in the bed and that's the only way I could keep myself awake.)<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Today was one of the first absolutely gorgeous spring days we've had this year.</span> I have a practical tomorrow that I really need to finish studying for, but I just couldn't pass up laying out in the backyard with my favorite pup. Granted I could have taken my flashcards outside and killed two birds with one stone, but seriously whats the fun of that? I'd much rather take pictures with Killer than study.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Killer just loves to be outside. More than anything. She'd sit outside all day and just watch the squirrels and birds and eat sticks if someone went out with her, but she gets a little nervous when we let her out and then close the door behind her. So usually what she does is whine to be let out then whine to be let back in 30 seconds later once she realizes no one has accompanied her out. Today she definitely got her fill of outside time with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She played and played with her golf ball and rocks and sticks and dirt, then I called her over and made her participate in this photoshoot. She looks miserable, but I know there wasn't anything she'd rather be doing :)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Killer<span style="font-size: small;">, almost daily, does this weird thing where she licks on her dog tags. <span style="font-size: small;">She pulls her h<span style="font-size: small;">ead do<span style="font-size: small;">wn to her c<span style="font-size: small;">hest and <span style="font-size: small;">licks and licks and licks on those things. I'm not really sure what she gets out it...maybe she likes the coppery tas<span style="font-size: small;">te of metal...who knows. We usually let her get in about 3 licks <span style="font-size: small;">before <span style="font-size: small;">we flip her collar around and put her tags on her back. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">A<span style="font-size: small;">fter this happens she usually g<span style="font-size: small;">oes on her merry way and finds something else to do - chase squirrels, ann<span style="font-size: small;">oy us with her ball, <span style="font-size: small;">just normal dog stuff. Not today. She just sat in a corner and cr<span style="font-size: small;">ied. For a <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">ridiculously</span> long time.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span> We tried to entice her with other fun things, but she just wouldn't have it.

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">In my program at school this is one Indian girl. Her name is Amy. We are friends. Amy grew up here in Georgia, but her parents are<span style="font-size: small;"> still very very India<span style="font-size: small;">n. Her mom knows a little English<span style="font-size: small;"> but mainly her family speaks <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gujarati_language" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">G</span>ujarati</a><span style="font-size: small;">. It's quite exciting. Since Amy is so <span style="font-size: small;">Indian she occasio<span style="font-size: small;">nally stu<span style="font-size: small;">mbles over Amer<span style="font-size: small;">ican culture. Little say<span style="font-size: small;">ings like "don't push my buttons" become "stop pushing my envelope" or "hippity hop" becomes "hoppity pop" and many other fun Am<span style="font-size: small;">yisms I can't think of right now. I really should start <span style="font-size: small;">writing them down. <span style="font-size: small;">Wel<span style="font-size: small;">l, this girl had NEVER had a<span style="font-size: small;"> taste of an</span> apple pie before. NEVER. I just couldn't have that, so she came over, and we made one and she had an entire slice (not just a little taste). I found an <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-live/double-crust-apple-pie-recipe/index.html" target="_blank">awesome recipe</a> on <span style="font-size: small;">FoodNetwork.com<span style="font-size: small;">, and we got to it.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

We threw it in the oven and played with Killer while we waited for it to bake. Here's the finished product. It was pretty dang good. If you don't have an apple pie recipe that you're just mad about, this one is for you. It was seriously the best apple pie I've ever had in my whole life.<br />

And I just had to include this ridiculous picture of myself. Just a few days ago in one of my classes our teacher gave us this little self-check questionnaire thing to fill out. It had statements like "I'm an active listener" or "I respect others' beliefs", and we had to say if we always, sometimes, or never did these things. One of the items said, "I pay attention to my facial expressions." Obviously, I don't. Don't worry, I put "never".<br />

Due to the nature of the mental health setting, OTs don't wear scrubs to work. Dang it! The place I'm going to has a dress code. All therapy professions at their hospital (PT, OT, speech) wear teal and black. Know how much teal and black I own? Not a lot at all. So Brad and I have been on the hunt lately for some clothes that I'll be able to wear to fieldwork that are not only functional and comfortable but also professional. Plus, I don't want to spend a ton of money on clothes for one week. Obviously I'll wear them again, but still I just hate spending lots money on clothes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On this day in particular we didn't find anything I thought was worthwhile to buy, but we did have fun in the dressing rooms - at least ones that Brad was allowed to enter in with me. Some of the stores we went into wouldn't let him come in with me. I mean, really, what do they think we're going to do in there?!</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Tuesdays and Thursdays I have two classes. One from 1<span style="font-size: small;">-2:30pm and the other from 5<span style="font-size: small;">-8pm. So I always run home and let Killer out<span style="font-size: small;">, eat a snack, make <span style="font-size: small;">dinner, and then head back to school. It was bea<span style="font-size: small;">utiful out<span style="font-size: small;">side today so rather than make Killer look longingly at the squir<span style="font-size: small;">rels in our back<span style="font-size: small;">yard through the<span style="font-size: small;"> curtains, I opened the do<span style="font-size: small;">or for her and let her run wild. She loves to just sit in the doorway <span style="font-size: small;">with the door open<span style="font-size: small;"> and watch the happenings-o<span style="font-size: small;">n outside. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Later that night after my second test of the day, one of the girls in my class went through her locker and was giving away snacks and treats she had had in there since last semester. She had two ring pops left, and Amy and I quickly snagged them. They certainly made class after a test at 6pm more bearable.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Ton<span style="font-size: small;">ight I had to study, like big time.</span></span> I've been a bad student and an excellent procrastinator. So when Wednesday night came around, and I still had yet to study like I really needed to for my two midterms the next day, I went into crazy student mode.</div>

Killer was very encouraging and thought her ball would help me learn anatomy quicker.</div>

And my sweet and loving Brad was simply the best. I seriously love this man! Lucky him, he doesn't have any tests this week. I can't concentrate with any other noises going on around me. Brad wanted to watch netflix, but he also wanted to spend time with me even though I was being boring sitting on the couch studying. So the earbuds went in and there we sat, me studying and him watching netflix. We're so romantic.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">A<span style="font-size: small;">fter school I had to swing by the grocery store to pick up a few things real quick. <span style="font-size: small;">Well that real quick trip turn<span style="font-size: small;">ed into a lot longer<span style="font-size: small;">, mainl<span style="font-size: small;">y because of the rain. It was beautiful all day<span style="font-size: small;">. As <span style="font-size: small;">I was leaving class it was showing signs of a sprinkl<span style="font-size: small;">e, more of a misting really. But as I'm<span style="font-size: small;"> dri<span style="font-size: small;">ving to the <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">grocery</span> stor</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>e, the flood gates open. I haven't driven in rain like this for quite some time. It was like buckets of water were being dumped on my windshield. At one point as I was driving through an intersection I was just hoping that I came out in the right lane on the other side because I couldn't see the road at all. Anyways, I get to the store safety and decided to sit in my car and wait just a bit to see if the rain would let up any. It didn't, and I eventually ended up running in using my broken umbrella as a shield, but I got this neat picture while I was waiting.</div>

That Minute Maid fruit punch and those carmel/cream bullseye things (plus a few more I chose not to photograph) kept me awake just long enough to finish all my flashcards before I decided to give up and go to bed.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Poor pitiful Killer pretty much begged for attention. I felt so bad I was ignoring her, but I promised we'd play this weekend. While I placed her duck just for this picture, she did throw it up on the table and in my lap several times pretty much yelling at me to stop studying neuroscience and play with her. So sad. Hopefully all that studying will pay off.</div>

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">Last sem<span style="font-size: small;">ester I started volunteering with a local occupational therap<span style="font-size: small;">ist</span> who practices hippotherapy. <span style="font-size: small;">It's not <span style="font-size: small;">hypnosis or playing <span style="font-size: small;">with <span style="font-size: small;">hippopotamuses. It's a wonderful therapy intervention that utilize<span style="font-size: small;">s horses. It can be used with <span style="font-size: small;">people of all ages and diagnoses, but Claudia mainly sees children. What's different about hippotherapy <span style="font-size: small;">is that it <span style="font-size: small;">uses the movem<span style="font-size: small;">ent of the horse to train neu<span style="font-size: small;">romuscular responses in the kids. They aren't learning how the ride the horse or anything like that. They<span style="font-size: small;">'re basically just doing OT on top of a horse. It's really awesome! It's really cool to see how excited the kids are to <span style="font-size: small;">be o<span style="font-size: small;">n the horse, and it's amazing to see how much <span style="font-size: small;">just something simple like their posture can improve during the session. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

I love the kids and I love the unique take on OT<span style="font-size: small;">, and I love all the exper<span style="font-size: small;">iences I get there and everything I<span style="font-size: small;">'m learning.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> <span style="font-size: small;">But I also love the horses.<span style="font-size: small;"> They are so sweet and gentle (<span style="font-size: small;">I mean, they have to be with kids throwing balls on them and banging them around trying to pet them). My mom grew up riding horses<span style="font-size: small;"> on my grandpare<span style="font-size: small;">nts' farm in <span style="font-size: small;">North Carolina, and I've always wished I knew more about horses than I do. They are lots of hard work, so my grandpar<span style="font-size: small;">ents don't keep horses anymore since no one<span style="font-size: small;">'s around to ride them. I've learned so much about horse<span style="font-size: small;">s (and OT) from volunteering at hippotherapy on<span style="font-size: small;">ce a week. I love that I'm a<span style="font-size: small;">ble to feel more connect<span style="font-size: small;">ed with something that my mom grew up loving.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Hippotherapy has seriously been an awesome experience for me, and every time I go I can't help but feel grateful for this great opportunity, especially since there aren't that many OTs practicing hippotherapy in the country. It's fantastic to have such an amazing one here in Augusta.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Before we left for chur<span style="font-size: small;">ch on Sunday, Brad took the few extra minutes we had before we had to walk out the door to play with our cute pup. She loves any att<span style="font-size: small;">ention she can get from anyone she meets, but there's just some<span style="font-size: small;">thing special about attention from her daddy. She loves him more than anything<span style="font-size: small;"> and always has.<span style="font-size: small;"> Even when she was a tiny <span style="font-size: small;">puppy she preferred to be with him o<span style="font-size: small;">ve</span>r me. I would always complain that I feed her, I <span style="font-size: small;">give her water, I take her out<span style="font-size: small;">side to potty, I keep her clean, I give her people food, etc.<span style="font-size: small;">, e<span style="font-size: small;">tc. But she doesn't care<span style="font-size: small;">. She just loves Brad best. She loves me too, but he's definitely her favor<span style="font-size: small;">ite - probably becau<span style="font-size: small;">s<span style="font-size: small;">e he's more fun to play with :)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Even though I hate that we have church at 1pm, it does give us more time to do things during the morning. Usually we just get up and do homework or go to meetings. But we always make time to play with Killer. The sun was shining perfectly through the windows this morning, my two favorites were playing together, and I was capturing their sheer joy through a lens so that we will never forget this time together. I am always awestruck by the simple things in life that make us so happy. This Sunday morning was definitely one of those times.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Saturdays around here are usually pretty chill. We mostly just v<span style="font-size: small;">eg out and let our brains rest from<span style="font-size: small;"> a week full of test<span style="font-size: small;">s, quizzes, papers, practicals, and projects.</span></span></span></span> This Saturday in particular contained peanut butter, a pup, and some serious cuddles.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Brad decided he needed some peanut butter while reading over some powerpoint slides from a class earlier in the week. And how else do you eat peanut butter except on a spoon!? As soon as the lid is twisted off and the aroma of creamy smooth PB fills the air, Killer is immediately at Brad's side. I love everything about this picture. Brad is lifting the spoon up to his mouth, and Killer is licking her lips in anticipation of hopefully getting a quick lick once he's done.</div>

I decided I would do that too. So way back in March 2011 I took a picture everyday and blogged about it. Pretty much all my pictures were of Killer...shocker! Well I think it's high time I repeat that fun little blogging activity. And I'm warning you already, most of these pictures will probably be of Killer.<br />

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been in graduate school for just over 6 months now. I'm learning a ton<span style="font-size: small;">, I'm having a blast, and I'm making really great friends. And I'm so lucky that they all just love my <span style="font-size: small;">little pup. She can be quite annoying sometimes - always begging for attention and wanting to lick your face - but these friends of mine don't care. They think she's <span style="font-size: small;">cute as she can be and s<span style="font-size: small;">uper sweet. They've learned her quirks and her tricks and love loving on her. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

B<span style="font-size: small;">rad and I <span style="font-size: small;">love to take Killer there, we run<span style="font-size: small;">, we walk, we play, we <span style="font-size: small;">kayak, <i><span style="font-size: small;">and</span></i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> it's <span style="font-size: small;">seriously about 2 mi<span style="font-size: small;">les from our house - awesome.) So Killer and I got ourselves together, loaded in the car<span style="font-size: small;">, and met Carmel and Daisy at the park. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

But now Daisy has come to accept the fact that no one can contain Killer, especially when she's outside on a walk. <span style="font-size: small;">Daisy is super sweet and just ignores Killer running around all over the place.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> </div>

She loves people, but really <span style="font-size: small;">could do without eve<span style="font-size: small;">r<span style="font-size: small;"> meeting another 4-legged barking <span style="font-size: small;">creature. She likes to play with her cousin Mimzy and the <span style="font-size: small;">basket hound next dog, Herb. But that's about it. So I really appreciate these walks <span style="font-size: small;">with Carmel and Daisy because it g<span style="font-size: small;">ives</span> Killer a chan<span style="font-size: small;">ce to be around another dog in an environment that she already enjoys.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Julie <span style="font-size: small;">came a little later, so she ran to catch up with us and then joined us on our dog walk. O<span style="font-size: small;">n the canal trail there's this great open field right on the river just after the 2.5 mile marker. Killer knows exactly w<span style="font-size: small;">here it is, and once we start getting close she starts go<span style="font-size: small;">i<span style="font-size: small;">ng crazy. So we walked t<span style="font-size: small;">he dogs to this field and then let <span style="font-size: small;">them run around for a <span style="font-size: small;">while to get some more energy out. Killer swam and chased ro<span style="font-size: small;">cks into the water. Daisy <span style="font-size: small;">really wanted to join her, but common sense took over since it was freezing cold that d<span style="font-size: small;">ay.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: red;">WARNING: picture overload</span></div>
<span style="color: red;"> </span> <br />
Back in June my sister Brittney and I went to Disneyland. Throughout the week she referred to this trip as our "sistermoon". That was because this trip was originally meant to be her honeymoon. A few months before the wedding she decided to call it off. The guy was great, just not great for her. Well, my dad had already booked and paid for this trip, and he couldn't get his money back. But he could change the name on the reservation. So lucky me, I got to go to Disneyland for free.<br />
<br />
We had park hopper passes, which was so awesome. We could jump between the two parks whenever we wanted. The first day we went to the actual Disneyland park. The only thing I told Brittney that we absolutely had to do was go on Space Mountain. You see, I went to Disney<i>world</i> my senior year of high school with a friend and her family, but Brittney had never been before. So I had to show her the ropes. :) I also got to use my exceptional organizing and planning skills to plan out our days so that we could do EVERYTHING (once again, Brittney had never been, so she needed to have the complete experience) in the three days we had. We rode EVERY ride at least once and saw everything there was to see. We also went to the grocery store and bought some breakfast and lunch items so we wouldn't have to spend any money on food at the park. It's ridiculous how much they charge!!<br />
<br />
So back to Space Mountain. We got to the park, and we headed straight for Tomorrowland. On the way we met Geppetto. Brittney felt bad for him because no one was waiting in line to see him, so she got a picture.<br />

Space Mountain was already packed, so we got a fast pass and went back later. In the meantime we hit up Tomorrowland like there was no tomorrow.<br />

Brittney was a good driver - expect for the times she ran into the walls...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we went on Finding Nemo's submarine adventure. This a seriously cool ride. I loved it! We actually climbed down into a submarine and took a ride around the "ocean". So great!</div>

I'm obviously thrilled at my meager score.</div>
We also swung by Star Wars Star Tours later on that night (with a fast pass). This another awesome ride. Luckily I had taken some Dramamine that morning or I would have thrown up everywhere. It's a flight motion simulator in 3-D. Very cool.<br />

Here are Space Mountain pictures:<br />

I felt like my hair kept flying back and smacking the girl behind me in the face. I tried to hold onto it, but I'm pretty sure that didn't do a very decent job. I mean...look at her face. She seems super annoyed.</div>

Brittney was a little freaked out after Space Mountain, because I neglected to tell her what kind of ride it was - roller coaster in the dark - oops. But she got brave and went back with me later.</div>
<br />
Next, we went to Pixie Hollow, which was a long line and hot wait to see Tinkerbell, and I didn't even get a picture! But here's Silvermist.<br />

Next, we made our way to Frontierland but passed through Fantasyland where we took a tour of Sleeping Beauty's castle and tried desperately to pull the sword out of the stone.<br />

Before we left for the day we swung by Mickey's Toontown and waited in line for at least an hour and a half to go on Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. The sign outside said the wait was only 45 minutes, so we thought we could handle that. 45 minutes passed, then an hour, but we were so far into the line waiting that we couldn't turn back. It was a long hot wait for a disappointing ride...<br />
<br />
The next day we decided to hit up the California Adventure park. It was much smaller than the Disneyland park, and I knew if we kept to my meticulous schedule we would have it all done in one day. Unfortunately, we were there a few weeks before Cars Land and Beuna Vista Street opened. There was tons of construction everywhere. We stumbled across this area of construction that had lots of Alice in Wonderland decor out, so we helped ourselves to some pictures with it.<br />

We saw that Hollywood Land was in the distance ahead of us after we got out of the Monster's Inc. ride so away we went to the Tower of Terror. The first time I went to Disney I didn't have a chance to go on the ride, so I was excited and Brittney was too. It was SO FUN! They do a great job of convincing you you're not as high up as you really are, and then all of sudden you're at the top looking out of the windows at the tiny park below you. Right before you can process exactly how high up that actually is they drop you 13 stories. Then they do it all again. We loved this ride!<br />

Next stop: A Bug's Land. We first rode in Flik's Flyers, mainly so we could get a bird's eye view of the whole park and see how it was laid out compared to our map.<br />

We also went to Tuck and Roll's Drive 'em Buggies, which were the SLOWEST bumper cars I've ever been on in my life. I guess this whole park of the park was for preschoolers, but still. Don't be fooled by our awesome poses that make us appear to be hauling. We seriously passed the camera back and forth while we were driving.<br />

Francis' Ladybug Boogie was just the spinning teacups (if you've ever been to Disney), except the cars were made to look like ladybugs. Very cute. We spun fast.<br />

We also went on Heimlich's Chew Chew Train. Another kiddie ride, but we enjoyed being able to sit down for a minute (seriously, it was only a minute long) and feel the breeze. Our last stop in Bug's Land was the short interactive movie "It's Tough to be a Bug." We LOVED this thing. It was funny, they sprayed you with water, and when it was over they asked you to stay seated so all the bugs could leave first, and it really and truly felt like bugs were running across you under the bench you sat on.<br />
<br />
We swung over to Pacific Warf, which is a mini San Francisco, got some free samples at Ghirardelli (ok, a lot of free samples), and took a bakery tour, where we got free samples of delicious sour dough bread.<br />

We then went across a big bridge to Paradise Pier and checked out all the neat rides there.<br />
The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure. Luckily this ride was completely covered, and we felt like we were in a cave it was so cool (as in temperature). Good thing too, because if you can't tell from our frizzed hair, it was a little hotter this day than the first day.<br />

We rode California Screaming (the main roller coaster) several times. After some severe mechanical issues which stopped the ride completely we trusted Goofy's Sky School (a quick curvy coaster) to not kill us. We strapped ourselves onto a jellyfish and jumped 40 feet into the air and softly floated back down at the Jumpin Jellyfish ride. We then made our way over to Grizzly River Run to cool off. It's one of those river rapids rides, the kind where you sit in a big circular raft, water splashes everywhere, you go underneath waterfalls, and someone <i>always</i> gets more wet than every other person on the ride. Luckily neither Brittney nor myself got more wet than we wanted.<br />
<br />
We waited in line for honestly about 2 hours at Toy Mania. I'd be lying if I said we weren't both miserable. But we found ways to entertain ourselves.<br />

But we FINALLY made it in. It was awesome! Definitely not worth waiting in line for so long, but still very entertaining. It's a 4D ride where you're in a car, and you go along shooting targets with laser guns. Here's a picture I stole off their website and a picture of Brittney and me.<br />

Conclusion of day 2.<br />
<br />
The next day we had to switch hotels, so we opted not to do to the park. We only had 3 day park passes, so this worked out perfectly. We needed a little rest before we hit it again. We spent the day at the pool reading, watching TV stations I didn't even know existed, and eating pizza. It was lovely. <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Our last day at Disney began with a quick ride on Star Tours...again. With our awesome honeymoon tickets we were able to choose one day when we could go into the park an hour before it actually opened. Other people obviously had this same deal, so we by no means had the park to ourselves, but the lines were MUCH shorter. We walked into Star Tours, sat down, enjoyed the ride, and walked out.<br />
We then swung on over to Adventureland, where we just HAD to ride Indiana Jones. Everyone else also just had to ride Indiana Jones as well, so the long was uber long. But luckily the cave/tunnel getting back into the actual ride was full of entertaining things.<br />

As we were waiting in line and more than halfway there, we heard an announcement that the ride was experiencing technical difficulties, and we were welcome to stay in line or leave and come back later. Brittney and I reasoned that the majority of the people waiting would become extremely impatient and leave (maybe not at first but after 20 minutes, surely), which means we would fly through the end of the line. So while we waited some more, we took some pictures.<br />

Finally after about 30 minutes, the technical difficulties had been resolved. We were totally right about people leaving, and we only had to wait 3 more minutes to actually get on the ride. Loved it! (The breezing through the line and the ride!)<br />
<br />
We then made our way over to Frontierland and took a ride on the Mark Twain Riverboat. This day in Disney was the hottest we had experienced yet, so a nice breezy ride down the river was just what we needed.<br />

While in Frontierland we also rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, a roller coaster through an old abandoned mine shaft. And we visited Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island. </div>

We then made our way New Orleans Square where we rode Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. We also stopped by Critter Country and visited The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and cashed in our Fast Pass to Splash Mountain. </div>
<br />
Next stop: Fantasyland. If you've never been to Disney one thing you need to know about Fantasyland is that it's little kid heaven. The minimum height on all the rides is nonexistent, so anyone can ride them. This place is always a mad house. We first rode the Casey Jr. Circus Train, which was a real life version of the animal cracker boxes with the circus animals in train cars.<br />

And finally, to top off our Disneyland experience, we met Mickey Mouse!<br />

<br />
Lessons learned on this trip:<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>1.</b></span> Disneyland is a bad place for a honeymoon. No offense to those of you who went there on your's. It's just not for the Barnwell girls. We prefer a beach somewhere relaxing instead of melting walking around in the hot sun.<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>2.</b></span> Brittney and I need to go on more vacations together. Maybe one day when we both have money we can make this happen.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>3.</b></span> Sometimes being a control freak has it's advantages. We were able to ride every.single.ride in both the parks we visited thanks to my excellent planning skills. And we probably only spent about $60 the whole week on food for the both of us thanks to our quick trip to the grocery store at the beginning of the week.<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>4.</b></span> I probably won't go to Disney again until I have children who are old enough to enjoy it. Waiting in 2 hour lines for 30 second rides just isn't my favorite thing. I know there are people who take an annual trip to Disney, but that just ain't me.<br />
