i'm sitting, waiting to depart on my final major recruitment trip of the year - yeah! thankfully it's a quick one...although it might seem longer than normal since I was spoiled last week. chuck & grace came with me for the week long sweep in Utah and it was Fantastic! It made the trip, which I've taken 3 other times, totally new, fresh and enjoyable. don't get me wrong...it's one of my favorites, but a week drags on a long time when you're away from family and this time - since I wasn't alone, we took the time to do some sigh-seeing and just hang out as a family. it was great! And yes...we went to a zoo where Grace got to see monkeys!! (talk about a highlight!)
as far as the house addition goes - except for finishing the exterior paint, hanging the room doors and floor trim...it's as good as done! I posted new pictures to check out...plus here's one of the living room. we still haven't really moved furniture in yet - waiting until after the trim is done so we can jsut do it once, but have a few necessities filling the HUGE, Wonderful new space!
grace is talking a lot more now - it's amazing how much she picks up, remembers and can tell us now, although I'm still thankful for the sign language which she always goes to when she's really frusterated or tired. she even cheers "Go Cougs!" although it doesn't seem to be helping the team any. she had an upward growth spurt...but still a skinny-minny. she also recently had her first haircut - bangs - by auntie Michelle who did a fantastic job!
well, time to head to security and on to Nevada to find more future veterinarians!
