Life in the Browning House

Life has been pretty crazy at our house the last couple weeks. When I am not a huge ball of stress or at school, (which isn't very often lately, my poor husband), Andrew is either watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, cleaning the house for me, or working out. I feel like we haven't been able to spend much time together lately. Andrew is gone this weekend to Vegas with all of his body-building pals to Mr. Olympia. He goes every year and it is tradition. I don't know what he would do if I told him he couldn't go. That is his one big love. Anyways, our car has some problems and our laptop motherboard fried. So, I am blogging from the school computer. Hopefully we can get our laptop fixed soon and I can post some pictures. Also it seems like every week at least one of my body parts hurts. I guess that means I am starting to get old. Crap!!! Does anyone else ever feel like that?

Been a Couple Weeks...Sorry

My title pretty much says it all. I really do need to be better about updating my blog. I am busy though. School has really started now. This week was my first full week of seeing patients. Clinic has really stepped up a few notches, but I am excited to learn more and expand my competence. I am thankful to be in a very well-organized program. Speaking of patients, if anyone wants a great, thorough "cleaning" and doesn't mind trading out time for money, then give me a call. I would love to see you!!! As far as my social life, I don't much have one. I did go to the fair with my husband and some of my family this week which was fun. Andrew has been so good to me since my program started up again. So far this semester he has given me a thoughtful card, bought me a shirt, surprised me with a pile of candy on my bed (don't judge too hard if I get fat, who could let that go to waste), and made me a cheesecake! What a good husband huh? I think so.

The He** Begins...

That is not a figure of speech either. Sometimes I really feel that way about my program. I start school tomorrow. I am not looking forward to it to be honest, but I am trying to have a good attitude about it. My summer has been great and I have absolutely loved my freedom. We were also able to travel some too this summer and I am so thankful for all of my cherished memories. Thanks for all who comment on blog and follow.

Lagoon and Big News

Yesterday we spent the day at Lagoon with my family. Thanks to my amazing mother, we were able to all go have some fun. Thanks mom. We had so much fun going on the rides with everyone. Big families are the best and I am so glad my parents chose to have a lot of kids!!! Also....for those of you who don't know, Andrew got called to be a second counciler in the bishopric for a singles ward, so we had to move wards. Crazy huh? We are very humbled to get this calling and hope we meet Heavenly Father's expectations. Surprise huh?

Hawaii

Okay guys sorry it has been a while since I have blogged. We were in Hawaii though! We were there for a week and went to spend some time with Andrew's brother John for his birthday! We also played played played. It was so amazing and perfect weather. It was hard coming back to Idaho that is for sure. I have lots of pics so hopefully you guys don't get too bored.












































There are so many pictures, that it would take forever to talk about all of them, so hopefully you guys get an idea of our trip. It was amazing and we are so blessed to be able to go somewhere so amazing. Thanks John for making it all possible! Tell me what you guys think!!!

Don't Ever Go On Late Night Walks...

So last night I went on a late night walk with Andrew and we went on a nature path that ended up being a five mile walk. I wasn't originally planning on it being that long, but hey I was trying to be spontanious. So anyway, I was in my flipflops walking and it was dusk. It was just light enough to see the path, but dark enough to not be able to see any details. All of a sudden I was looking down and almost walked right into a snake! I stopped Andrew before he did too, and we just stood there looking at it. It was probably five to six feet long. If anyone knows me, then they know I am more terrified of snakes than anything else. Then it coiled up and started hissing at us. I have not been that scared in a long time. Immediately after, I took off as fast as I could and about 300 yards later I slowed down to see if Andrew was behind me. A few seconds later, he caught up to me. He told me that after I took off, the snake's tail started rattling and was getting ready to strike at him! We almost got bitten by a rattle snake!!! I was terrified the whole rest of the walk home (we still had 2.5 miles to go). I was so scared that another snake was going to jump out and bite my toes off. It also didn't help that after that, it got completely dark and we couldn't see hardly anything. It also didn't help that we saw like five more snakes squished on the side of the road. I couldn't stop thinking that we could have died. We were so lucky that all was okay. So, moral of the story...don't go on late night walks in the middle of nowhere in Idaho, because you might run into a rattle snake. FYI-I guess snakes like to go onto blacktop when it cools down at night. Scary huh?!!!
