OK, Daddy, you asked for it...real, bonafide pictures of your son-in-law. He may not contribute to the blog or write you, but he's still alive.
And, we're having lots of fun together, too, I might add. Since last week, we've been exercising a lot (him at the Hardcore gym, me at the UGA gym with Beth), watching funny shows (Seinfeld, Tenacious D), cleaning the house (Beth helped too), and going to friends' houses.
Last Sunday we went to an Easter dinner with some vet school friends and tomorrow night we're playing our new DVD Newlyweds game with four friends from vet school (two couples: Denise & Nowell and Beth & Emily). We'll let you know who wins (it'd better be me and G)!
We also have a new philanthropic venture: working with the Athens Pets site whose function is to advertise the dogs at the pound so they can be adopted and seen by more people. Last Saturday, we volunteered by going to the pound and taking pictures of dogs that needed homes and then posting them online. It's great work b/c we get to play with dogs and, hopefully, help them get adopted. It's sad, though, b/c some of them end up being put down. Here's the site if you're interested
http://www.athenspets.net/adoptables.html. I just checked and several of my own little doggies have been adopted or reclaimed by their owners. Yay! Check out my hands holding the dogs named Gal, Barnaby, Scamp, and Tillie (I named Gal after Uncle Sam's sweet doggie!).
School is still a big part of my life, but I only have 5 hours of class every day instead of 8 and not as many tests, so it's been a big relief.
We're going to Rock Hill this weekend to visit my parents. I can't wait!

Posing with my Bubby after doing wrestling drills together (yes, he's getting ready for a shower and is a little grumpy about it.) Bren-he's also just wearing his Austin Powers suit at the moment (and is normally not that hairy)...ha ha ha.
We went out to eat with Gabriel's co-workers last Friday. It was a lot of fun and great Cuban food. Below is Angie and her dog, JJ.
Listening to Elwood's heart (practicing on Beth's dog)...that was a while ago for my Physical Diagnosis class. I just found out that I barely got a B in that damn class b/c I messed up on all the large animal stuff. Sux. I did great on the small animal part, though.
Beth practicing on Holly's cat, Stripes. He wasn't too happy.
Beth cleaning my house...if you knew her, you'd understand.
That's right, folks, Gabriel Glen Beal made me dinner! I think it's only the second time in our lives together, so it was very special. (He made his favorite Asian soup that I always make, which he's obsessed with).
Last week, we trapped a mama cat that lives outside of our apartment. When she got to the vet, they called me and said she wasn't pregnant (as I had suspected) but lactating...obviously with kittens somewhere. Beth and I searched everywhere, but we couldn't find them, so we just released her that night after her spay so she could go take care of them. I felt really bad, but it was unavoidable. I tried to follow her back to find her kittens, but she lost me in the bushes.
