Where to start??!!!! Mid 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this blog has to begin with what has happened to me in the last year and a half. Man......that is a feat that I will attempt without boring anyone too much!

So I finished my third year of veterinary school in Grenada, West Indies in December of 2007. I returned to US to complete my final year. I attended Louisianna State University for my last(4th) year of veterinary school or clinical year. Moving back to America and living in Baton Rouge, LA was quite a change, but a good one! Missing all my friends and classmates from SGU was hard but the students at LSU were very nice and friendly.

I still continued to attend Hashes, but now they were americanized. Much more drinking, less running, fits with the American way!! (hehe..yikes!) The first Hash I went to I met the love of my life, Jeff Henderson. We've been dating now since Feb of 2008! I know, I know sappy!!

My clinical year was a lot of work, but I learned a ton!!

I graduated in January 2009! Stayed in Baton Rouge 6 more months to study for boards the second time around and worked at the Small Animal Intensive Center there at LSU. It was a good experience, maybe not in my timing what I would have chosen for myself, but God works in mysterious ways!

Went to graduation in New York in June, attended Lisa Kolb's wedding, visited my best friend, Kim, and long time running partner, Holly. So I made a really nice trip out of it! Got to see all my good ole Grenada buddies!! Love yall and miss you too!!!

Came back South and started my new job at Bastrop Veterinary Hospital in Bastrop, TX. Bastrop is a cute little town just 30 minutes East of Austin, Tx on hwy 71. Jeff and I ended up moving into a cute house north of Bastrop, called Elgin, which happens to be 23 miles from Austin and closer to Jeff's future work. I am loving the job here. I get to work on every species, litterally...from mice to horses(the only thing that I don't see are chickens and snakes!) :) Two days ago I was treating a ferret with a prolapsed rectum in our ICU, running bloodwork on a geratric cat with what turned out to be renal failure, and in a room with a kid (baby goat) with severe GI parasites (barbarpole worm). It was great! What I always invisioned and hoped for.
Some days are not so good though! Like today is really really really slow. With school starting, business has slowed down significantly!!! Actually scarily would be a better way to put it!

I'll include some pictures soon of the practice and some really great Jame's Harriot stories to come!!
