We are officially out of our minds
We made the mistake of going into a puppy store today after Church. We had time to kill before a movie that started at 1:00. Well, as you can imagine, we didn't go see the movie... we had to tend to our new puppy. Neither of us could leave this adorable little girl there. It was love at first sight! Announcing our newest addition, Cecelia (Ci-Ci for short):
In other news, I had a job interview on Friday for a part-time position at the BEST hospital in town: St. Vincent's! I LOVE St. Vincent's hospital and am SO excited about the possibility of working there. I am hoping it will lead to a job as an RN when I finish school. I should hear something this week! Keep me in your prayers!

Tired of this heat!
It has been SO hot out lately. I think today is a record or something. I about died walking up to the school building (a quick 30 second walk!)
I am officially done with summer semester! Only 2 more semesters and I am a nurse! I got 2 A's and 1 B, and I am very content with that considering several people failed out!
Jimmy only has one more step in the JSO police academy application process: his medical physical, which I am sure he will pass with flying colors since he is so active. He had his psychiatric evaluation this morning and he says he did well. Keep your fingers crossed! We are hoping he will be able to start the academy in January instead of October so that he can finish his bachelor's degree. He only has 4 classes left that he is registered for this Fall and will graduate in December. I'm so proud of him!
We had another health scare with Bella which ended up costing us hundreds of dollars. Jimmy took her to the dog park on Sunday, as is his weekly ritual, and when he got home she was squinting her eyes, or just keeping them shut altogether, and she was whining, breathing weird, having difficulty swallowing and was drooling. Jimmy said she collided with a large dog when they first arrived at the park but they stayed for over an hour and she played and seemed fine. Well, I was worried that she had cracked her wind pipe or torn her esophagus, so we gave her a bath and watched her for a few minutes. Once she rolled over on her back in the "dead" position as though to notify us that she was dying, I told Jimmy we needed to take her to the animal ER. $300 later we discovered she had a lot of air in her stomach and throughout her intestines that was causing her pain and nausea (thus the drooling). By the time we left the ER (3 and a half hours later!) she was completely fine. I was upset about the $300, but at the same time it could have been something serious and we love Bella too much to just let her die an agonizing death.
Not much else is going on. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday to see if the medicine worked (i.e., whether or not I am pregnant) and to diagnose me with PCOS based on bloodwork I have had to get periodically through this cycle (3 times!) as well as an ultrasound the doctor will be doing on Thursday of my ovaries. This is all just so crazy. Humans are meant to reproduce, why is it so hard?!?! In any event, wish us luck and say a little prayer.
