life gets in the way!!

sorry...i have been a slacker! actually...we have just been extremely busy and had a lot on our minds! i dont even know where to pick up!

i guess the most exciting news is that we are leaving uab, and we are gonna start travelin in about 3 weeks! our last day there is august 18th. as of today we have been submitted to georgetown university hospital in washington d.c. i would love to go there and nicholas has never been, so that makes it more exciting! how it works: the travel agency submits us, the hospital calls to do an interview, we have a lil time to think about if its worth going there, then we make our decision! we really want to go to texas bc we could be a lil bit closer to heath and suz, but for some reason its just not workin out. i would also love to go to the east coast/northeast! really...we will go wherever God wants us to go. nicholas wants to go to alaska and surprisingly there are two jobs available at the same hospital, but i think that's just a lil to far away to go our first time.

we traded our lexus IS 250 in on an expedition! it was soooo hard to leave that car on the lot, but i love the space in the expedition! we had to do something to have more room when we travel. i am somewhat high maintenance! i pack the car out just for a week vacation. i cant imagine how im gonna pack to go somewhere for thirteen weeks!

everyone asks...what are ya'll gonna do with molly. well...dummies...we are going to take her with us! i wouldnt go if we couldnt! she is our baby and we are more attached to her than i ever thought we would be! she is wonderful! heath and i think she is a little "marley". she is hilarious! her favorite thing to do here lately is literally get in the dishwasher and lick the dirty dishes! she loves it! she NEVER gets people food, so we let her do it. it's a treat for her. she also LOVES to play outside! she loves to play with her ball and frisbee. it's a small frisbee...just her size! she also chases every bird, butterfly, and insect that she sees. oh yea...she jumped in the river several weeks ago. i guess she wanted to go for a swim. she's a great lil swimmer. nicholas jumped in and got her though. she's CRAZY, but she's the sweetest, most loving thing you will ever meet.

the other exciting thing coming up is ash par's wedding!! its august 22nd! we are having her bachelorette party in nashville this weekend! it's gonna be lots of fun! i think i've gotten a lil carried away with it! she's gonna be the most beautiful bride ever!

we still absolutely love our house! we love living on the water. we gave up on looking for a boat for now. we decided there's no sense in letting one just sit around while we travel. maybe we can get one when we come back and settle down. it is beautiful here...rain or shine!

i really need to go perform my wife duties such as wash clothes, toilets, etc. i will try to update more often!
