Curtains

Last week I finally bought the rest of the window coverings I needed!  Nate and I hung them up and here's a look at them;)

downstairs deck door....the downstairs is still kind of a work in progress...



Office. I love these curtains. They are a champaigne color in a zebra print.

This past weekend I also visited my friends Maddy and Tom in Chicago.  We tailgated for the pathetic Iowa/Northwestern game and had a fun time just hanging out!  I am also studying up for 2 of my prosthetic boards which I am taking this Friday on the computer.  The boards are made up of 3 different tests, 2 of which are multiple choice on a computer and the third is only offered twice a year.  I am taking it in January in Dallas. That portion actually has patient interaction and you cast for a below knee prosthesis, measure for an above knee prosthesis, etc.....yikes! wish me luck!!

Gage

My brother Nick and his wife Jill had their baby yesterday, November 6th. Its a boy! They named him Gage Nicholas Brunner. He was 6lbs 14oz and 19 inches long.  He's perfect;) I went and visited today with the fam, here are some pics:

Too school for cool

So, it's been awhile, huh.....What have I been up to you might ask? Well, to tell you the truth, nothing much.  Last weekend was a GREAT Iowa Football game against Michigan State and that pretty much made my weekend AWESOME.  My friend Kacey and I also went to a Halloween party Friday night (which made getting up at 5 to tailgate a little difficult the next day). I dressed as some random masquerade ball lady with a mask and boa and Kacey was Katy Perry on Sesame Street and she carried around a tickle me elmo all night, hahahah!!! The party was at our friend Erica's apartment (the hippie pictured below) and was really fun!


Our group at Erica's halloween party. Janelle was a cat, me the wonderful masquerade/carnivale lady, Kacey as Katy Perry, Elmo, Erica as a Hippie, and Erica's friend as a punked out Dorothy....


This weekend I am on call so there will not be very much going on, except hopefully painting my office, doing laundry and watching the Iowa vs Indiana game uniterrupted (cross your fingers!).  My second week of the C2K running program went very well, I'm impressed with myself even though it wasnt very much at all I haven't really just gone out and ran since high school track!  Although I seemed to have developed some pes anseine bursitis (self diagnosed) in my left knee so this week I decided to stay on "week 2" of my workout and not up the running too much so I wouldn't inflame my knee more. 

So, I just saw a preview for the movie "Unstoppable" on TV and I really want to see it! It has Denzel Washington and is about a runaway train and is a true story.....I also want to see Toy Story 3 and want the "digitally remastered" Beauty and the Beast and How to Train Your Dragon. FYI.
