Hm, it seems quiet in here all ready, without Dizzy around. = ) Oops, I hope she's not secretly reading this. Sorry for my prolonged absence. Its been nutty around here with the move, working 56 hrs in 6 days (the one day off being my moving day) and my dad visiting. But, now I am calming down a bit, catching my breath. I work M-T-W this week, and then I'm done! All finished! Wow!! I can't wait. . .its been a learning experience, thats for sure. One of my nurse brought me a scrub jacket and a framed poem by Maya Angelou as my going away gift! I was so suprised!

We leave for Washington at 3 am on Friday morning, so we'd appreciate your prayers while we are gone. We'll be at my 'rents house for a week, then at Matt's 'rents house for the next week. I"m guessing my posting will be spotty at best, but I'll try valiently to keep in contact. And maybe I'll even use the phone!

I had a great time with my dad down here. I went swimming at his hotel, took a nap, etc, while he was stil in meetings...it was so nice to have some r & r. then matt and I went to a "business" dinner with his bosses. It was SO fun-- drinks, appetizers, fresh (table side) guacamole, dinner, lots of laughter and we didn't have to pay a dime! His bosses are really cool and there were tons of people to talk to. I loved it. My dad and I went to Westlake village the next day, looked at my hospital, went to this crazy little cemetary where famous people are buried, went to Long Beach to see Matt, visited the downtown (SOOO cute...we MUST visit it together sometime...you guys would love it) and then went back and I made dinner. We all watched "Hitch" later that night. All in all, a fun visit. My dad was asking all these "safety" questions...he is STILL so worreid about me down there! I think it was hard for him to see how set up my life is down there, but hopefully reassuring too.

Matt's back is fine, btw...He never did see a dr though. what can you do?? guys will be macho! we didn't get the truck either, i don't remember if i wrote that. Matt called the guy on the day we should have gotten the check, and he had sold it! after we told him to keep it b/c we were buying it! then the guy hung up on him, and wouldn't answer the phone when matt called back 3 times. what a jerk. poor matt was pretty mad. I guess we figure its for the best, right?

well, thats about it for me now. like danielle, i'm revving up to get back to school...just, in a different sense.
Val, are you better yet? Congrats big time on the library job! that will be great to have and you can tell us about all the good books we need to read.
