Last Days of Summer

Brett and I decided that we had too many pictures and stories about all of the scary and gross animals and not enough of the fun things we have been doing. This first picture is of Brett and I swimming in the pool the last day it was open, Labor Day. Down south they still close the pool at the same time they do up north even though there are still 90 degree days. Silly...I know. So we made use of the time the pool was open and went swimming twice on Labor Day weekend!

I have been driving up to Enid every weekend that I have been here in Texas for my clinical. It has been great to be able to spend so much time together! I use the drive to keep caught up on my phone calls with my hands free set. I take I-35 up pretty much all the way so it is a pretty easy drive. I have really been enjoying my clinical. We are so busy running between the hospital and outpatient that I have had the chance to see many patients with a variety of diagnoses. I have a few patients right now that I have been able to see on my own and I really enjoy it a lot. I am challenged every day and learning so much!

Brett and I have been visiting Government Springs Park almost every weekend. It is a very nice park with places to walk around and a waterfall and fountain. We also found there is a really nice flower garden across the street that I took lots of pictures in and Brett searched for bugs and took pictures of them. We went to the park 2 weekends ago and were walking along the pond by the ducks, and Brett said "wouldn't it be nice if we had bread to feed the ducks?" and not really liking birds or ducks I responded "No, then they would come close to us!" just as Brett was pulling bread out of his pocket that he had taken from home without me knowing. So we fed the ducks and it was a good time, Brett kept the ducks away from me and I enjoyed it. I mostly fed the ducks that were in the water so they stayed away from me and in the water:)

A few pictures from the park where we have spent sweet summer weekends enjoying each others company- something we will never take for granted after we spent (and continue to spend) so much time apart:)
