If you didn't already know... I can get kind of impatient about somethings. Well right now I am being impatient. I finally submitted my application to NSU and mailed my high school transcript and my transcript request to ABAC to have my transcript sent to NSU, my recommendations, which were a requirement, and a copy of my CPhT. certification. And I already filled out my financial aid application, which I better be able to get! So everything on my side of it is DONE! Now I just have to wait... NOT fun. I am going to drive myself crazy. I just keep going over everything in my mind and trying to think if there is any reason that I shouldn't get it but I cant think of anything. I meet all of the requirements and had 2 great recommendations from 2 pharmacists. But still I am going to drive myself nuts until I find out. But the good thing is that they do admissions on a rolling bases which means that they go through the applications as they get them. Usually when that is the case you find out something faster. So I really hope to hear something hopefully by the end of the week. So hopefully I will that way I wont be crazy for to long. Poor Chaz :( haha. And so that I can have a good weekend. I just want this so bad and I am NOT giving up! I have came way to far and my parents have spent way to much money for me not to get my degree! So please just pray for me and wish me luck that I get in while I sit here and go looney waiting...

Well I finally did it... I filled out my application online for NSU. Although... I haven't submitted it yet I will as soon as I get all of my stuff ready to mail off. I just want to look over it again before it is final. I am VERY VERY nervous about it though. I don't know why I am so nervous because I definitely meet all of the requirements to get it. But I feel sick every time that I think about it! I guess I just want it so bad that I will be crushed if I dont get in this time. I just hope that I do so that I can get started in October and hurry up and get done. But if I don't get in I will just apply again in December to start in January. But I just hope and pray that I get in this time and don't have to go through this again. The application deadline is September 1st so I have to get on the ball. I hope that I can get everything done this week and then I will hopefully find something out soon! So just pray that I get in!

I went to my orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday. My physical therapy has not been helping... it has actually been making my knees hurt worse and now my hip is bothering me too. I told my doctor this and he told me that he basically has no idea what is wrong with me and my physical therapist cant figure anything out either. So my doctor put me on a new medicine called Neurontin. It is actually for seizures but can be used for nerve damage. He said that he thinks that I may have a damaged nerve in my knee and wants to see if this medicine will help me. I'm pretty sure that this is a last resort because he said that he wants to try this one last thing before we resort to surgery. He said that if he did surgery he would basically just go in and look and see what is in there that is not right. So far all the medicine has done is help me sleep :/ which is pretty much just a side effect but at least for once I am sleeping! haha. I hope the medicine works but then again I would rather him just go ahead and do surgery and fix it instead of me having to take a pill everyday for the rest of my life to keep my knee from hurting. He said that he doesn't want me to have to go through surgery again but I told him that I didn't care because what haven't I been through at this point? So I go back in a month and I guess we will just go from there. Until then I have to keep going to physical therapy :(

On a better note... I have been working with Harley since we got her up here in Sunday. And just a FYI I have been doing it all by myself since Chaz has been in Florida. Everyday she has came closer and closer to me just by me having her awesome hot pink feed bucket with some feed in and by me talking to her. Yesterday when I went to feed her I was absolutely shocked! I did my "bucket trick" as I like to call it and she came RUNNiNG to me and started eating it! And the she put her nose on my stomach and I petted her!! It was amazing! That was the first time that I have touched her when she was somewhere that she could get away from me. It was the best feeling ever! So I am pretty proud of myself for doing it all by myself without antibody's help. Chaz is proud of me to because I really don't think that he thought that I could do it... but I did! And now I think that he is a little bit jealous because Harley will not go to him, even if he does the "bucket trick". haha. It makes me feel good that she trusts me that much and not anybody else. I know that it sounds weird but I think that we already have a special bond together because I am the first person that she has trusted like that. I love her! She is so sweet and such a pretty little heifer! haha. I will try to remember to take some pictures of her today and put them on here. Chaz is going to attempt to put a halter on her today. We tried to do it yesterday but her awesome new hot pink halter is not formed good yet so it was to hard to get it on here while she was trying to get away from it. So Chaz is going to use his old halter that is formed good to catch her this afternoon so that I can start touching her more and brushing her. I cant wait. I just hope that I don't get kicked or stepped on. but if I do I guess its just part of being a cowgirl :) I get up every morning 30 minutes earlier than I used to and I go feed Harley and A-1, then I go to work. Then I go back in the evenings and do my "bucket trick" on Harley and feed them. But I love doing it though. It will be even better when Harley is completely tame and I can just walk up to her and put a halter on her and walk her around and give he baths and everything. And yes... I will give her lots of baths. You have to bathe show cows a lot because it keeps their hair clean and soft and it helps it grow. So I will be doing lots of cow bathing :)

I am so glad that it is Friday because I cant wait to go home and play with Harley and get to do stuff with her all weekend! Now if this day will just hurry up and be over so I can go home!

I think that we had a pretty eventful weekend. Chaz was in Florida all last week helping his cousin Jason catch cows and bale hay before he had to go back to Bogota,Columbia this week. Some of the cows that they caught were our cows. We have been trying to bring them up here for months it seems like but have never been able to... until Saturday! Chaz finally brought them home! I am so glad that they are finally here. The 2 mamma cows, Maddie and Noel, are in Gray. I wish they didn't have to be so far away but at least they are closer than Florida. And Maddie is 35-50 days pregnant! Yay another baby! The vet said that it was to early to tell if Noel was pregnant but hopefully she is too. The baby cows, Harley and A-1 are at me Pape and Nanna's house which is only about 1 mile from our house so they are very close to us. Harley is my heifer that I am hopefully going to show sometime soon. She is almost 11 months old. We are going to start breaking her when Chaz gets home. I'm sure it will definitely be an experience! But none the less I cant wait to do it. So anyway... Chaz had to borrow his Uncle Wilbur's truck and cow trailer to bring them up here so he had to take it back down there. He left last night and hopefully wont be down there to long. He has to help Jason bale 20 more acres of hay before it rains so I hope that it doesn't rain and he will get to come home on Tuesday. But I have been watching the weather... like always... and so far there is no rain in sight for central Florida. I just hope that it stays that way for the next 2 days. I hate when he is gone for a week and then comes home for like 24 hours and then has to leave again for 2 or 3 days. I miss him :(

On another note we are still nowhere with getting a loan. I guess we are just going to give up for now because nothing is looking very promising. We are just going to sign another 1 year lease where we are now and then try to get a loan when Chaz gets his tax returns sometime during the beginning of the year because everybody that we talked to said that they had to have that before they can give us a loan. I just hope and pray that they were not lying. If you cant tell I just really don't trust loan people these days because so many of them have basically lied to us since we started trying to get pre-approved for a loan. I'm just ready to buy a house and be done with it!

On a happy note my Daddy and Mamma finally moved into their new house!! I am so excited because now they are only about 1.2 miles away from us! And if you don't know my Mamma is my best friend so I love being that close to her so that I can see here everyday :) And I know that they are so glad to finally be living there. All of the animals love it too because they are just free to run around and you don't have to worry about them running into the road. Also Jett loves being able to go swimming at Papa and Nanna's house whenever he wants to. haha. Also my Daddy had to have a heart cath done last Thursday. Everything went great and the doctor said that his heart is perfect! So now he is just a little bit sore and cant lift anything that weighs more than a milk jug until this Thursday. He also cant swim until this Thursday and Jett is very sad about that because Daddy would usually take him swimming everyday. But anyway it is just good to know that there is no blockage or no nothing at all.

Now yet another update on my stupid knee. It still hurts and now my other knee is really hurting me. I go back to the doctor tomorrow morning so I guess I will just see what he has to say. I'm just not sure that all this physical therapy is working. the first 2 weeks actually made it worse so for the past 2 weeks all I have been doing is stretches. I don't want to have surgery again but right now to me it is looking like that is what is going to have to happen :( And I have physical therapy tomorrow afternoon too. Or I might not if my doctor decides that it is not helping any. So I get to spend my day in Athens tomorrow with my Mamma because she is going to meet me there after my doctors appointment so that we can find her some curtains for the new house and so that I can be occupied until my physical therapy appointment. We are going to go eat at the Varsity for lunch! We cant wait. We love that place!

Well I guess that it pretty much it for now! We hope you have a great day :)
