Islam Day?

This is interesting...just wondering how there can be an Islam day in The United States of America? Are there other religion days? Catholic Day? Southern Baptist Day? I haven't heard of any before.

Happy Valentines Day to all! These flowers might not be $50 roses, but that doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is that my husband knows I love flowers, any flowers, and it's the thought that counts. There was also a little sweet note. And I would have been pissed at him if he bought be $50 flowers that are going to die in a week. He's the best. :)

Ice and snow

I wanted to write this last week when it first happened but it's still on my mind because it affects me everyday. Here's what happened: we had an ice storm last week in Kentucky. It was about an inch or two of ice. And it weighed down everything.


Trees were laying down all over the place. The roads were blocked and ice knocked down the power lines and many people in Kentucky were out of power, and are still out of power today, almost 2 weeks after the storm hit. As I have said before, I work at UK hospital. It is Kentucky's level 1 trauma center so we get all the bad business. Chest pain goes to Central Baptist, we get badly broken bones. Right after the ice storm, we weren't very busy, people were being very cautious and staying off the roads, which was good for us. People were being smart. :) Then the snow came....


We got about 2 inches of snow on top of the ice that had fallen a few days before. I love snow. It's so pretty and fluffy and it's not hard to drive through, it's wonderful. HOWEVER...those smart people of Kentucky didn't have such a good time with the snow. It turns out that everyone forgot that there was all that ice under that snow. That affected me. People forgot to walk carefully, they forgot to stay off the roads and the ones that did drive, forgot to drive carefully, and then they were pissed they forgot. I know this because the day we got those 2 inches of snow I had to work. And the ER was horribly busy. It was packed. The entire ER and waiting room were completely full. Everyone had fallen or had car accidents, and about 3/4ths of those people ended up breaking some bones. Humerus, forearms, femurs, ankles.. you name it, it was broken. And these patients were pissed! They forgot where the ice was and they fell and broke their wrist and then yelled at me because I have to get xrays so the orthopedic surgeons can fix your miserable ass..
So be careful when weather strikes. Slow down and walk carefully please. Or get hurt, but don't yell at me when you come to the ER to get fixed.

This is us at dinner in Jamaica. The food was awesome. The staff was amazing. The entertainment was great. I highly recommend sandals resorts, I'm sure they are all equally awesome. You really feel like you're spoiled, like everything is free. You can get food and drinks at any time of the day or night.

This is the view from the Japanese restaurant. The gazebo at the side is one of the places at the resort where people get married. I think that's a great idea. We saw a few couples get married and the sandals staff really makes it a big deal. Flowers, cake, pictures, the whole to-do. It's a really nice idea for people that want the ceremony to just be themselves.

This is my first blog, and I don't have alot to talk about so I'll start off with an introduction. Ryan and I got married in July 2008 in Kentucky. It was a wonderful day, everything went perfect and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I had friends and family at my side all day. In this picture we're getting ready to cut the cake my aunt Susan made for us. Ryan is looking at a friend who is telling him to smash the cake all over my face. However, he was smart and didn't do it. We left the next day for our honeymoon to Sandals Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was awesome and we hope to go back for our 5 year anniversary.
