It is hard to think of a new title for each new post!!!! When I started reading Leslie and Nicole's blogs and they mentioned how tough it was to come up with something creative each day. At the time I thought..." Oh, it can't be that hard guys..." And now that I am blogging, I realize that it is hard to come up with something different every day! So I'm gonna have to work on that!
Funny story.... Every night, Cooper sleeps at the end of my bed...which is fine. He is a small dog and he stays on the bed and when the lights go out, he actually settles down and gets ready to sleep. Well I woke up this morning, and found him laying on my HEAD! He had one of his front paws on my forehead and his body was laying against my head and shoulder. It was kinda cute!
He hasn't ever done that before...I hope sleeping on my head isn't a new habit!!!!
Today I had Lecture from 10-12:30. And I really like going to my Anatomy lecture. My instructor makes the topics of the day really interesting, and actually gives you good examples to remember the information. Now I'm home and getting ready to eat some Minestrone soup...MMMmmmm Good. :)
This afternoon I need to study, I have tissue practical tomorrow and a test Monday, and another test Tuesday...so can you guess what my weekend is going to consist of...????
Tonight I am babysitting the Phelps. Two really sweet kids, Nathan (5) and Elizabeth (4). So I am going to take my camera and TRY to remember to take a couple pictures!
Hope everyone has a great day!
I have been studying Anatomy and Physiology since about 6:15 PM. It now just past 9....If I look at one more tissue slide in the next half an hour, I seriously think that my head is either going to explode into a thousand tiny little pieces or it is just going to pop right off my neck...
So I decided to take a break and update!
My day was a pretty good day for being a Monday.
I went to class, yes Anatomy class. And went to an open lab for tissue slides. On Thursday I have a lab practical, and that my friend is why my brain is swiming in images of tissues and what they do. Don't get me wrong, I like the class, I think its really interesting how everything works and why we have it, BUT I think I am on overload.
Later on in the afternoon I made a stop at Khols. I went in with the idea that I was going to get some nice dressy outfits. NO! I walked out with 3 casual shirts, 2 tank tops and a pair of slippers. None of their dressier clothes caught my eye. I was somewhat dissapointed...well maybe next time! While I was getting ready to leave Khols, I got a call from Bobby and decided that I'd make a quick stop over to see him. I stayed for a little bit then I started to make my way home...and that is when all of the Anatomy studying started to take place.
I think that Im going to take a nice break and get a snack then maybe hit the hay... I am beat.
I can study all day long tomorrow... :)
Have a good night!
on this weekend...it seems like it was busy! First of all, I was supposed to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but that didn't happen because the census was sooo low... and I was pissed! Heck, I need the money, and I didn't even get to work one day, I just got cut. So I am thinking about getting a second job, just for some filler cash...but I don't know where or what to look for . . . . any ideas? I'd like to do something in the afternoon/evening, SO if you have ANY ideas of ANY kind of input, let me know!
Anyway...
Friday Bobby and I made Leslie and Jade dinner. We made a dish of lasagna, a HUGE salad with all the good stuff and brought some Texas garlic toast with us. It was a pretty good meal. I think we all enjoyed it. Because I didn't work Saturday, I just hung around the house and got some laundry done and studied...whoo hooo I know! Later on in the day, it started snowing pretty hard, and silly me got in the car and drove into town! It was SLICK out there! Luckily I made it to Bobby's and he took me to my absolute favorite place!! The Olive Garden...YUM... we had a really nice time. Afterwards, we stopped over at Tom and Dan's house to see what they were up to, and Ashley was there. We just kinda hung out with Tom and Ashley for a bit then made our way back to the Feisters'. On Sunday, once again I didn't work, and there was snow EVERYWHERE!!! Holy cow! It snowed maybe a good 4 or 5 inches at my house...once again, silly me, I got into my car and drove over to Leslie and Jade's ... The guys all went shooting and so us girls, Leslie, Reyna, Lisa, Peggy and I got together and just hung out...it was really nice. Lisa and Peggy made some wonderful Beach bar Tomato Soup and some massive Texas toast grilled cheese...that were SUPER cheesy! The rest of the night, I am just gonna lay low. I might just watch a movie and hit the hay.
I have to get up early tomorrow and go to an open lab to look over some tissues and then I'm off to Lecture...
We'll see what tomorrow brings!!
Today is going to be a busy day... I have lots to do! I have to run into Wallgreens and get a script filled and LOTS of pictures developed for many people, Leslie and Jade, Lisa and Rocky, Bobby and myself. I have taken lots of pictures of Reyna...and I took a lot right after she was born, and they're pictures that Leslie didn't get, let alone she never really got to see what was going on with Reyna. SO I made sure to take lots so she could see what all happened. After Wallgreens I have to stop at Meijer and pick up a few things for tonight. Im going to make Leslie and Jade dinner and I don't have everything I need. Then, Im off to the Feisters' and from there Im gonna make their dinner and work on some homework. I have a lot of notes that I need to re-write for my Anatomy class. Then later on this afternoon Im going over to the Collins' house to present dinner and hangout for a little while. Hopefully I will get to see Kristin and Kim while they are in town.
So after saying all that, I better get moving.
But first, I wanted to post this really sweet picture of Leslie and Reyna, I took it last night while I was over there, and it is just the sweetest picture! 
Just a quick little post before I'm off to bed...
Today has been such an amazing, emotional, exciting day...
But It's sooooooooo awesome to think about how Reyna is really here! I can't wait for tomorrow!!
WHAT A MIRACLE! She is only a day old and is loved by SO many people!
We played the waiting game for a bit...and finally we got to meet :

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!
CONGRATS TO LESLIE AND JADE!!!
This is a picture of Audrey and I. We have worked together for 2 years! Audrey got a new job..she is going to be working at the University of Michigan Hospital as a Social Worker! I'm gonna miss her! BUT we are gonna keep in touch and hang out every now and then...she's a busy girl though, with a new job, and she is getting married this summer ... Audrey's such an amazing person!!!
I really don't even know where to start... I guess at the beginning.
I went to work today because I didn't have classes. For some reason, I left my phone in my pocket, normally I don't. But today I did, and I don't really know why. I was in a patients room and I felt it vibrate around 7:30 this morning...thank goodness I had it on Vibrate. Its a very rare thing for someone to call me that early, so I knew that something had to be going on. I had a voice mail. It was Bobby calling to tell me that Leslie's water broke and that they were going to the hospital. So I called Audrey to see if she would work half of a shift for me, so I could be there. She came in at 11 am. and it turned out that Leslie's water hadn't completely broken, or something to that effect. She wasn't in labor and they were goiong to send her home! So I only worked half a day, which was fine.
I did take a picture of Audrey and I because this Audrey's last week at Chelsea Hospital. She just graduated from U of M and she is now a social worker and got a new job! Its sad to see her leave. She trained me when I started working at the hospital. But we promised each other that we would keep in touch.
As for the rest of my day, now that I don't have to work, I plan on just hanging out around the house, and taking it easy. Bobby is coming over after his class for lunch and then he has to go back to the school. This afternoon, my plan is to maybe take a nap...and to definitely do HOMEWORK!!!
....So far, today has been a dull day. Nothing too exciting to report. I had Anatomy lecture from 10-12:30.
Now I'm getting ready to eat some leftover Chinese food from last night.
As for the rest of my day, I have a few stops that I have to make in town. Then I'm going to stop by the Feister residence to see what they're up to. I haven't talk to Leslie in a couple days, I will be giving her a buzz to see whats going on. Otherwise, today is just a cold, dull Monday....
I had a very nice relaxing Saturday. It was great. Something I really needed. I spent the day lounging around and getting some laundry done. Then, later on in the afternoon, I made my way over to Bobby's. Before I got there, I stopped at Meijer to pick up a few things that we needed to make some dinner. Bobby spent the day Rabbit hunting with Jade, and was pooped. When I got to his house, I found him taking a snooze on the couch, next to him was Rocky getting a Saturday snooze in too!
For dinner, Bobby and I made pizza bread. We put bacon, ham, and pepperoni on french bread, with the tradition sauce and cheese. It was Yum-o, as Rachel Ray would say! :) After dinner we played a game of spite and malice...its a card game that is pretty easy, and it doesn't take a lot of thinking power.
After we played cards, we watched the movie 50 First Dates. I LOVE that movie! It's hilarious! Each time I watch it, I pick up little funny jokes that I hadn't caught on to the last time I watched it. Its such a great movie! Adam Sandler, is a pretty funny guy. In the middle of the movie, Dan, Lonni and Tom stopped over! I was very happy to see them! I don't get to see Lonni very often because she goes to MSU and she only comes home on the weekends. SO I was excited to see her. She is such a sweet person...
Dan and Lonni brought me a birthday gift...they gave me a really neat looking frame, which I'm going to put this picture of Lonni and I in. And a mango ginger candle, that smells awesome. Also a couple of movies! It was very thoughtful.
Above Picture : Me and Lonni...
Today is my 20th Birthday! It has been a wonderful day!!! I went to work, and this awesome nurse that I work with Katie, brought in a raspberry dream cake....it was delicious!!! Then after work I came home and got ready to go with my parents, and Bobby to Knights Steakhouse for dinner.
Bobby came to my house and left roses and the sweetest card by my bed...he is so sweet! Then we had a great dinner at Knights. I had the prime rib, and it was the best prime rib that I have had in a while! We all have a pretty good time. Then we came back home and I opened gifts and we all had some of the cookie cake! 
I got some really nice gifts...I got a really soft yellow zip up hoodie and a Michigan hoodie from my parents. Along with these really neat storage compartments, for when the time comes for me to get my own place. And, My Aunt Carol gave me a really pretty sweater and some socks to match!!
All in all I had an awesome birthday... from start to finish, it has been a blast!
Cause here she comes! Here's how my day has gone so far....
I went to Anatomy lab at 11:30. Leslie and I were gonna go get some coffee afterwards, so I gave her a call and she was having CONTRACTIONS! Holy Cow! Reyna Jade is on her way! So I offered to bring over some lunch. Well, I got there, and we enjoyed our Wendy's and Leslie's phone was ringing non-stop...I swear! Everyone was wondering what the heck was going on! Its seemed like Leslie would hang the phone up, and not 10 seconds later, it would ring again.
After talking to Nicole, Les and I decided that maybe walking would be a good idea. So we go into our cars and started on our journey to Westwood Mall...BUT we got behind this super slow truck. Frist he would go 45, then 55, then 40, then 50....that guy driving, drove both of us nuts!
Nontheless, we got there. We walked around that mall for an hour! Even I was kinda tierd.
Long story short, I think that it will not be too much longer before everyone gets to meet the Miss. Reyna Jade Collins. So get ready, cause here she comes!
Christmas...during my break from school, my Mom and I went to Iowa to see my sister. It was a really nice time. It is always great to go and see them, even when the visit's short. They are busy little bees in Iowa, let me tell you! Tarra has got her hands full. Four Little girls, well not so little anymore, Marissa is gonna be 11 in March...but still! They are a ton of fun and we always have a great time together...Here's some pictures of our Christmas together....
Top Left : Morgan, Hannah, Marissa, and Lauren...they'd just opened a gift from Aunt Emilie and were ready to play the Disney Bingo Game!
Bottom Left to Right:
1. Tarra and I, had just opened each other gifts ( kinda) and we had gotten each other the same exact Willow Tree!! It was toooo funny!
2. Morgan holding Cooper next to Aunt Emilie during the movie Cars. How Cute!
3. Mom is opening her gift from the Stangl's and she Loves it!!!
Well I finally got my very own web page!!! And this is my first post ever and I'm kinda excited! Its only 8 AM but I'm wide awake. I thought I would start my own blog. Thanks from the inspiration of my boyfriend Bobby's sister Leslie, and her friend Nicole. I have never done this before so if it isn't that great, well give me a couple days to figure everything out. My next task is to learn how to get everything set up and be able to put pictures on here.
