Gator Time

I just wanted to brag about my dad for a second. He sent me this cool picture today and I wanted to share it with all of you. Gators are pretty plentiful in Florida, so they are basically in any body of water. That's one of the reasons I've never swam in a lake while living there. I was really too scared. He was pretty brave to take care of this gator while working one night. He's gets called to do some crazy stuff. Who would have thought a cop would have to take care of an alligator? Way to go Dad!

Twilight

Who is going to support Stephenie Meyer in her new movie Twilight?

Tornado Weather

There was a really bad storm today and there was another tornado that touched down close to our house and the sirens were going off. I was really scared because I'm still not used to it I suppose. I had just got home from work and Corbin was stuck at the gym. They wouldn't let anyone leave. The video below is footage of a stream that is across the street from our house and it was turned into a river because of all the rain. The news reported 124 mph winds in the area of our home and the path the news was tracking crossed right above our home, but did not touch down in our direct area. A few weeks ago a tornado touched down a mile from our home. Just another day for those from Oklahoma.

Surgery by Dr. "C"

This may be a little gross to some, but still wanted to post it because this is my life as a wife to a resident. I had this mole on my arm near my armpit that kept bleeding and cracking. I don't think you can even see it in this picture unless you click on it and make it bigger. Anyway....it was really small, but annoying. Corbin decided to bring home some tools to take it off for me. I was excited not to have to pay a copay and to give Corbin some more practice.
I was brave, but still really nervous when I saw the needle. Corbin said I wasn't the best patient :) I wasn't very cooperative because I kept trying to watch what he was doing.
Warning...you may see some blood. It didn't take very long since it was so small. This is a picture of me all stitched up.
The finished product...no more mole!!! Corbin did a great job. I realized I really hate needles. I don't even like having my blood taken. Who is nervous of needles?

Camping

This weekend Corbin and I went to Arcadia Lake in Edmond and went camping. We had such a great time and got the best spot right on the lake. There were some guys wakeboarding, so we got a front row seat. We got pretty lucky to get the spot because usually it is always taken.
We had foil dinners that we made in the fire. This is one of our favorite things. Foil dinners always taste better when made outside. We cooked Corbin's a little too long, so the potatoes and carrots were a little chared around the edges, but still super good.
Another one of our favorite things when camping is roasting marsh mellows. Corbin found the best stick this time. It was pretty long. We loved camping in California and are excited we found a great spot 15 minutes from our house. Who likes to go camping with their family? We hope to do this even when we have kids. Corbin said he loved going camping when he was little. We want to keep the tradition going:) It was a fun and relaxing weekend, but we sure miss our camping buddies though:)
