I have finished my 1st semester of clinicals and had a week of break before starting back up this last week. I am really enjoying clinicals know I have chosen the right career. I am thinking about specializing in radiation therapy, which would require 1 additional year of school once I've graduated, but have not decided for sure. However, I do plan on taking boards for mammography and CT and possibly MRI. If I do go into radiation therapy, I will be giving treatments to cancer patients.
Jon has been EXTREMELY busy this last month with the irrigation end of the business. They recently sold 5 new systems and with this last batch of t-storms and tornados, had 5 more systems to be replaced or repaired in addition to their regular service work. He has been working 13 hrs a day/7days a week for the last 2-3 weeks. I am anxious for him to get a break!
Harley finally graduated kindergarten this year and is on to 1st grade! He will be in special ed next year and hopefully that will help him.
Haleigh is done with preschool and will begin kindergarten next year. They are excited that school is out for summer! Harley has been going with Jon to work on our weekends and can't wait till he is old enough to drive the skid steer.
Jon's dad, Rick, has unexpectedly come and visit me in the hospital a couple of times so I could give him a chest x-ray... He had been having some chest pain
s and got a helecopter ride to Wichita where they did a procedure called "TMR" where they bore holes in his heart with a laser to allow collateral veins to grow in and take over to restore blood flow to the heart. He has a clogged stent, but the one that is clogged is right underneath the main blood supplier, so the cardiac surgeon didn't want to mess with it, which ruled out the bypass and heart cath options. He has been out of the hospital for almost a month now and has been recovering well.
This last weekend I went home for my cousin Leah's graduation from K-State on Sat and her and her fiancee' Alex's wedding shower on Sun.
It was wonderful to see everyone. I finally got to meet my new little cousin Caleb- Kristen and Cory's little baby. It's hard to believe he's already 7 mo old! He is such a happy and smiley little guy and was trying so hard to crawl. He is so close. He was rolling all over the floor to get where he wanted to go! It is neat to watch Kristen and Cory with him. 
I was sad to hear that my sister Angel, Nathan & Hannah were not able to come, as they were all fighting the stomach flu, but I'm just glad they are feeling better now and look forward to seeing them in June for Leah & Alex's wedding. My cousins Yachal and Rowdy were also unable to attend as they were fighting bronchitis. Lorrie however, was able to be there and it was nice to see her too. She is looking wonderful with her 2nd pregnancy.
Leah and Alex are such a cute couple! It is hard for me to believe that Leah is old enough to be graduating college and getting married! We had a good turn out for the shower-we barely had enough chairs! They got a lot of nice stuff and I think everyone had a nice time. I didn't get to visit with everyone near as much as I'd like to have, but hopefully in June there will be more time. i'm anxious to meet my newest little cousin Katherine- Erin & Tryon's new little girl. I've only seen pictures, but she looks precious!!
Jon and I's 2nd anniversary is tues!! Jon has too many things going on at the shop to go anywhere, but our plan is to go to Steamboat Springs, CO in December to celebrate before i go back for classes in Jan. I'm excited! We are going to attempt to learn how to ski!
Well, I believe that catches the main points for now, I will hopefully have my next post in june with pics on Leah and Alex's wedding! Take care!

Love the pictures, Mary! Glad to hear your clinical experience is going so well. You're so close to being done! Looking forward to seeing you soon, hopefully!
Love, Heidi
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!
I thought of you guys today and hoped you had a nice day, even though both of you were working.
Thanks for the update in everyone's lives. It seems like there just isn't enough time when we talk on the phone, that or enough bars on my phone to keep a conversation up long enough.
Looking forward to seeing you at Leah's wedding!! Is Jon going to get to come? Will be praying he gets a little break! Tell the kiddos hi and we hope to see them soon! Always our love and prayers!
