Last year's Christmas Pictures

Hmmm...I was really hoping to have our new family Christmas card pic's to post today, but Ariel's business Christmas card from last year is just going to have to do. We were going to take the pictures on Sunday at the zoo, but it snowed, and we didn't make it. I didn't leave the house or my sweats the entire day. In the end, it all worked out for good. We had a wonderful day at home, the kids had a blast in the snow, and I managed to finish the rough draft of my major nursing research paper. At one point, I actually liked the subject I had chosen (prenatal screening for major depressive disorder), but now I consider it an evil beast that I must kill. It is due by Friday, so I have a few days to polish it up and turn it in.
After the paper and one test, and I am home free until after Christmas break :). I am already salivating at the books I want to read, and fun I plan to have with the kids.

Today at work was very slow...and so I wasted a bit of time on the internet. One thing I came across was the National Outdoor Leadership School's Wilderness Medicine Institute. I really, really hope that some day I can go to some of it scares me. I no longer freak out about people not breathing, or A-Fib, or vomit, thanks to plenty of experience, but I want to run away if there is a major injury invovled. Wilderness medicine training seems like a great way to start to get some experience.
