All she really needed

Tonight I was reminded that sometimes I may just need to listen. Sometimes I need a higher plan. I learn new things at work everyday, most of the time they are not even medically related. I feel like I've learned more about my self, more about God and how closely our physical and spiritual health are related. Sometimes I'm so focused on peoples signs and symptoms that maybe really more importantly they just need an ear to listen. I met an adorably spunky 77 year young woman tonight, who had such a wonderful attitude despite her critical condition. Once I stepped back and delved a little deeper, she broke down in tears while I listened. I asked her if she would like me to pray with her and her face lit up. So, we did just that, we held hands and prayed. Afterwards she said to me, "All I really needed was a prayer, thank you". Medicine has its ups and downs, successes, failures, rewards and disappointments. Just like anything in life I've found that at the end of the day if you include God in your plan everything will be ok.

will the real Andrew Martin please stand up?!?!

OK so we walk into Jack's and I look over and see my husband on a Sanuk poster! I know my husband loves his sanuks and endorses them to friends but I had no idea he was famous! Seriously when I saw this I started laughing and said, "look honey you're picture is on the wall". All the people around looked at Andy & started laughing. If only he played the guitar like Donavon....sigh :)

Really though, I've determined that Andy's main concern in life is his facial hair. The other day I was complaining about how I looked, you know typical girl garbage and Andy tried comforting me by saying, "Jen, that's so dumb, you see there will always be a guy who can grow a better beard than me but I just think...I have a pretty sick beard and that's all that matters" By the way he no longer has a beard, he's now going with the molester stache look. Nothing more sexy than a flesh colored mustache...GAG! Oh & after I pleaded with him to shave it he said, "there are only two types of people who walk around without beards... boys and women and I'm neither". Yes, that's my husband for u! He makes me laugh daily: )

Andrew Look Alike

I got a message from a friend today, telling me that he was watching my brother play in the US Open. Aparently, Hunter Mahan is an Andrew Martin look alike. You be the judge, do we look alike?

The Real Andrew Martin

(If you are reading this blog, I hope that you already know what I look like. I shouldn't even have to include this picture)

The following pictures are of the Andrew Martin look alike.

BeDazzle me!!!

Of course I BEDAZZLED my Nalgene bottle and ID badge because I'm classy like that! I asked Andy if he thought the bedazzler was from the 90's, he said, "either people in the 90's or a 12 year old!" Well then its official I'm 12 years old because I LOVE TO BEDAZZLE! At least my water bottle will sparkle on my desk : ) Andy may think I'm a 12 year old, but secretly I know he wishes I would bedazzle his phone! If he's lucky he might just wake up to a shiny red & blue Angels emblem on his cell! heehee : )
