First Scorpion Kill in OK - Sep 27th

When I got home from institute last night(Sept 27, 2011) around 915pm I saw my first scorpion in OK on the wall of my garage!
I dropped my stuff of inside and told Rachel, my roommate what I saw.  Rachel is terrified of bugs (moths included) so I was unofficially nominated to kill my first scorpion.

The scorpion before the kill....
While I am about to risk my life, Rachel hides in my truck to be a safe distance away from the scorpion.
I had her take pictures of this historic event
 Me getting ready to smash the scary scorpion! 
(If you look closely you will see a black dot right about the car... that is the scorpion I am about to smash!)
Me killing the scorpion... smashing it on the wall....
 It fell of the wall so I stomped on it 5 times to make sure it was dead!
Proof that the scorpion is dead!
My shoe and I win the fight with the scorpion!
And that is the story of killing my first scorpion!  It is strange that I don't have brothers, Dad or Mike around to take care of it for me.  But it is proof that when I need to I can take charge and take of it myself.  However, I look forward to Mike being here to take care of things like this instead!

Michelle Visits Mike in AZ (Sep 15-19, 2011)

My clinic supervisor emailed me and said that clinic was cancelled on Friday... so I took this extra day off to go visit Mike and family in AZ (September 15-19).  Mike was the only one that knew I was coming in to visit that weekend.  Surprise!  We were not very good at taking pictures so we only have a few.  We will need to work on taking pictures.  I was able to visit all mine and Mike's family members that live in town.  It was great to see and spend time with everyone.  Mike thank you!

What a sweet horse!
