Happy Birthday Dad and Jess!

Two of my favorite people have their birthday on January 29th! My dad and college roommate/Kanakuk friend, Jessica Smith. I hope you both have a wonderful day - You are a blessing to me!

Baby Isaac is here!!

Precious Steven Isaac Sprayberry was born this Tuesday, January 27th at 1:21pm. He was 7lb 12oz and 19.5inches long. He's quite adorable! Mother and baby are doing great. Enjoy a few pictures by proud "aunt" jess...

Interviews Scheduled!

So I now have 6 out of 6 interviews for Residency scheduled! I am very thankful for the opportunities and look forward to hearing more about each program. February is going to be a whirlwind of a month, but hopefully the Lord will show me what He has for me next year through the process.

Conversion from Analog to Digital delayed...

How many more months must we listen to those annoying commercials about the BIG SWITCH that was supposed to happen on Feb 17th and now has been extended 4 months by Congress??? I don't understand how people are not ready for this...they have been warned for over 2 years and if they can't watch TV on Feb 18th, they might just do something about it...but no, we are extending the switch. Does the government honestly think that those who were lazy enough not to go get a converter over the past 2 years are suddenly going to jump into action? Seriously.

Happy 2009!

I can't believe it's already the 15th of the new year...back to life and back to reality.
A few things have happened over the past few weeks that have made my heart just hurt...
1. My friends Kimberly and Miller lost their baby boy at 18 weeks - my thoughts have been wtih them this week and I know the Lord will keep them strong and provide peace during this hard time.
2. My cat Sugar was finally put to sleep last week - turns out she had severe renal failure, so I am glad she is not suffering anymore.
3. Will's golf coach at UNCC left to take the head coach job at Duke. He was a great coach for Will and I hope the team can still do well this spring despite the changes. I don't want Will to get distracted too much about where he will be next year, so that it affects his performance.
4. I had to tell Kanakuk that I could not go on the Rwanda mission trip this spring - in the end, it was a very expensive trip and things didn't really fall into place for me to go. Hopefully, I will have an opportunity to return to Africa soon...
5. I just worked 75 hours for FREE at the AU Employee/Student Pharmacy over Christmas break...did I mention for FREE?!

But there are many things going on in my life that give me cause to rejoice:
1. Kimmie is going to have baby Isaac any day now...
2. I have 3 interviews lined up for residency (UAB, Wake, UNC) and am hoping to hear from the others soon!
3. I was able to visit Sarah and Kimber in Atlanta a week and a half ago...it was great to be with old friends.
4. Florida won the national championship...yeah for the SEC
5. I went to two AU basketball games over the break and my dad caught me a t-shirt! No really, have you seen how excited people get over winning a t-shirt? They go crazy...for a t-shirt!
6. I am graduating in 3 months and 20 days...but who's counting?
7. I have today OFF and next Monday OFF!!
