**Valentine's Day**

Ok... So I have decided that I just never get around to this blogging thing and it's terrible... But basically all that has happened for me in the last few months is school... That is literally all I do this semester... I am taking a full schedule and then on top of that I have an MCAT class that is 3 hours a night 3 days a week... And on top of actually going to the class, every other night I have 8 or so chapters of homework for it... And this is on top of all my other classes... But I take my real MCAT April 17th... So I'm hoping this class will pay off then :)

So needless to say, my days have consisted of school, homework, frequent breakdowns, little bit of sleep, and then repeating this process... So I'm both mentally and physically exhausted most of the time... I know this probably sounds really sad, or you may think I'm overexaggerating, but this semester has definitely been hard for me... I have even questioned being a doctor several times (always arriving at the yes I do want to do this)... But nevertheless it's been hard...

So I am pretty sure all that sounds like a bunch of excuses, and it probably is just that... But now onto Valentine's Day...

Kenny's family (his mom, dad, lexy, and kayden) all came up Friday night to spend the long weekend with us... They stayed til Monday (even though I still had school Monday, BOO on UNM) Anyways... So Friday I actually cannot remember what we did... But I am pretty sure we just relaxed :)We got up for breakfast... Bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, and the girls all went shopping and the boys went to some gun show or something... We didn't eat much for lunch cuz we were saving our appetites for Texas Roadhouse... So we went to dinner with his cousin, we were planning on going to Texas Roadhouse like I said, but it was a 5 hour wait for a party of 12... INSANE!! So we ended up going to Monroe's a really good New Mexican place here :) And then came home and watched some movies...

Kenny And I agreed that we weren't going to get eachother anything for V-Day, because we just bought a 46 inch TV for the bedroom... however, I knew he wouldn't play by the rules and get me something anyways... So this time I did the same thing... So I didn't look like a loser when he gave me a present and I gave him nothing (this has happened before because I usually do play by the rules)So Sunday morning we woke up, and I saw a box with a card, but looked past it because I still had not wrapped his present yet and went to my room and wrapped his present (he thought I was oblivious and just didn't notice it)... So I gave him his box and grabbed mine... Inside my box was a beautiful butterfly necklace, made with mother of pearls and amethyst... And I LOVE butterflies (read one of my earlier posts if you're curious why)...
And he opened his box, and it the bottom inside a toliet paper roll was this picture and the money needed to buy it... He has always wanted a hedgehog, and I knew he would never buy it for himself because he will spend the money on more practical things... So on Thursday (that's when they come in) we will be picking up the newest addition to our family, Knuckles the Hedgehog :)..... Haha yes we have the most random animals.... A rabbit, Hutch, a Cat Power step betty, a dog, Mia and we had a duck Miko, but he flew away... So I'm pretty sure he is super excited about his present because he keeps saying he cannot wait for thursday :)

So this is Knuckles... We now have two of these little guys... The other is a little girl she is even smaller, 5 weeks... They are such low maintenance and great pets :) and this pic was taken the first day we got him, but now we don't use gloves or anything :)
So we then got ready for lunch and went to Texas roadhouse right when they opened at 11, and got right in... haha not ten minutes later was there a 2 hour wait and the waiting area was packed... we lucked out... And per tradition, his parents told the waitress it was my birthday, so I had to sit on top of the saddle while they sang and yee hawed :) (I have done this the last 3 years)

But overall, the weekend was wonderful, and was really good for me because I miss my family and it was really nice to see them... :) Last weekend my family came up for my birthday so I got to see both my families in two weeks... It seems like it had been forever since I saw them... (I will blog about my weekend with my familiy during my birthday weekend, and presents and all that fun stuff later, just figured this would be the shortest blog because I don't have many pictures to put in here...)
