Pharmacy School

As most of you know, Richard and I are both in Pharmacy School at Harrison School of Pharmacy in Auburn. We have just recently started our fourth and final year of pharmacy school. We are now doing our rotations. We have eight different rotations that each lasts five weeks. We will be at different pharmacy sites like hospitals, clinics and retail pharmacies throughout the year. This is a really good exposure to different areas of pharmacy that we may not have been exposed to up to this point. We will be working with all sorts of pharmacists throughout this time. Next May we will graduate and become Doctors of Pharmacy with our Pharm D degrees!! We absolutely cannot wait for that day to get here!

At the beginning of pharmacy school we had what was called a "White Coat Ceremony". At this ceremony, we all received a white coat that was presented to us by the Dean and Associate Dean of the Pharmacy School. This symbolized our committment and dedication to the profession of pharmacy and the long road ahead of us.

Pharmacy School has definitely been an experience thus far. Richard and I have had to give up going out to eat or going to the movies and replace that with Friday night study dates! We have stayed up till all hours of the night studying. We have quizzed each other before tests. There were even some nights that we would lay in bed, almost asleep, and then one of us would have a question about school and we would have to ask the other one or it would have kept us up all night. We have put in so much time and effort to get to where we are today. I can't imagine going through Pharmacy school without Richard there with me. Along the way, we have been able to meet some wonderful people and make some really great friendships that will last for a lifetime! All in all, it has been a great experience and it will definitely be worth all the work in the end!

LOST

So, tonight is the SERIES FINALE of LOST! Not just the season finale, but the series finale! That means after tonight, there will be no more LOST! Richard has watched the show since it started six years ago in 2004. He made me watch the first episode and that was all it took! I was hooked after just one episode! We ended up watching the first three seasons in only a month. We got me caught up and I started watching Season 4 as it came on TV. We both find the show very intriguing with all its twists and turns and mysteries! It has been fun following the characters and their stories and how they are all connected some how. Tonight is the end, but I still believe that there will be some questions that don't get answered and are left up to our imaginations. We are extremely excited, but also a little sad that this is THE END!

How We Met

So I wanted to share the story of how we met. Richard loves this story and he would say "We had Physical Chemistry!" Ok, so let me explain.

Richard and I met our senior year at Auburn in Physical Chemistry class. It took Richard a couple of weeks to get the nerve up to talk to me. One day after class we were both walking to our cars and we stopped at the corner of Roosevelt and Donahue to wait for the light to change. Richard turned around and realized that I was right behind him. He knew that I saw him turn around, so he had to say something. He started talking about our crazy professor. We talked all the way to our cars. We continued to talk when we saw each other at class and the next Wednesday we had our first date. On our first date we had dinner at Johnny Carinos and watched the movie Posiden.

As it turns out, it is a very small world! Our parents only live about twenty minutes from each other. I played softball with Richard's cousin and ex-girlfriend. Our parents have mutual friends. We had the same major and were both interested in pharmacy. Even after all that, we didn't met until our senior year at Auburn!!

Our First Post!

So, we have started a blog!! We decided that this would be a good way for everyone to keep up with what is going on in our busy lives! We will also be posting stories from the past to fill you in on things.

As most of you know, Richard and I have been married for almost 2 years now! We are both working toward our pharamcy degrees from Harrison School of Pharmacy in Auburn. We love Auburn!

There will be many posts, stories and pictures to come!!
