EKG Class…

Posted on March 12, 2010 by whitneyladams
I have been in class the past two days. What kind of class you ask. A class on identifying cardiac dysrhythmias for work. Have you have seen and EKG strip?
Here is one:

Try looking a 80 of them, counting the PR intervals and QRS on these tiny blocks inside the darker blocks. My eyes hurt. Then you try to decipher what the rhythm the strip is which at times can be complicated. I am done with the class part but I still have to take an exam (after I study of course). Anyways that is what I have been doing the past two days. Last night since I only had to work till 7 I was able to go to our community group (sadly due to work it is rare for me to be able to go)! I love our community group! It was a great night of food, fellowship, and bible study. We are so blessed to have found a church up here and made new friends. As for tonight I am looking forward to cooking dinner for Mr. Wonderful! Usually when I cook dinner we don’t get to eat it together because of our work schedules. Tonight we are having Blue Cheese Stuffed Buffalo Chicken, from Cooking Light Magazine (I hope it is as good as the recipe looks). I love date nights at home!

Week in Review…

Posted on March 11, 2010 by whitneyladams
Hey Y’all! I took a little blog vacation but I am back! Here is our last week in review. I had some classes to take at Duke called ED Core 2 last week and worked a few days. Bob was on spring break so it was nice to see each other little more. I had a sinus infection, I must officially have the worst immune system ever. I went to the doctor, got some meds and now feel much better. I also finally started taking a multivitamin (I know, I know I should have done it along time ago). I started Weight Watchers last week and went to my weigh in this week and lost 7.8 pounds, wohoo! Over the past week I have turned our kitchen into a weight watchers friendly one. I even found a great blog with WW recipes that are delish! We were able to watch Duke beat UNC Saturday night when we went on our date (love those Blue Devils). These past two days have been gorgeous outside, Izzy and I have loved our walks. I think that is about all that really happened last week! Sorry if I bored you! This is our life 🙂

Praying for Cohen…

Posted on March 3, 2010 by whitneyladams
About a week ago I ran across Megan’s blog. She and her husband are expecting their first child, a sweet little boy who is to be named Cohen. However, the recently they received some difficult news about little Cohen. Their sweet little boy has several heart defects. Each one separately can be pretty well managed but all four together are rare and much more serious. Please join me in praying for complete healing of Cohen and strength for Megan and her husband. You can keep up with her and read more about their story by clicking the button and link below!

Cohen’s Story:


For you formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. How precious are Your thoughts on me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.
~Psalm 139:13-18

He is able,

Happy Birthday Lula!

Posted on March 2, 2010 by whitneyladams

Hey y’all, do not get me started on last’s night horrible and disappointing Bachelor episode. I am so excited about being the next Bachelorette being Alli, I really liked her. How about the announcement of the next Dancing with the Stars cast- Kate Gosslin! That threw me for a loop. Jake will be on there as well. However, as much as I could go on this post is dedicated to one of my best friends Mrs. Erica Glass Wade! I just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday!!





I love you girl and wish I was there to celebrate with you. Erica and her husband Bryan are expecting their first child in May, a little boy! I am so excited, he is going to be a cutie and I am sure he will be a ball of energy (If you have ever met his dad you know what i am talking about, Bryan has the most energy of any person I have ever met).
Love you girl and once again Happy Birthday!

I can not wait to see you when I come home in April!

A nice day for a walk….

Posted on March 2, 2010 by whitneyladams

Bob and I were both off work today and he is on spring break so we were able to enjoy the day together. It was nice. We slept in and Bob grilled some hot dogs for lunch. Mostly we lounged today but we did go for a walk. Izzy is getting really good walking on a leash with out dragging her feet or pulling on it. It was chilly but we had a fun time. Izzy can not figured out all the geese that live in our neighborhood.

Looking at me since I was walking behind them with the camera

What caught her attention? Well none other than the loud neighborhood geese.

The lake in the center of our complex.

Of course the geese followed us. We were on the deck and they thought we had food. Look at them coming in for a landing.

They are pretty, even though they are annoying sometimes.

She just cant figure them out

But She is so darn cute!

Well it has been a great day. And tonight Jake makes his choice on The Bachelor. I hope he chooses Tenley but I have a bad feeling he will choose Vienna, ugh.
Hope you had a great Monday!

Sunday Night with the McIntyres

Posted on March 1, 2010 by whitneyladams
We had a wonderful day today. It started with a wonderful morning of worship at New Covenant Fellowship followed by a great lunch. Tonight we had the McIntyre’s over for dinner. I made buffalo chicken pizza and Pioneer Woman’s chocolate sheet cake.


Josh and Jess loved the pizza, but nothing compares to the cake’s amazingness (yes I know that is not a word but there is just not words to tell you how good this cake is). I love this sheet cake!

Pioneer Woman has a perfect recipe. I love recipes from scratch. You must try it. Be on the lookout for the recipe on my cooking blog this week! We had a great time of fellowship and Izzy was so excited to have friends to play with. She loves Josh and Jess!


It was a great night. I just love nights like tonight.

She is such a sweetheart!

Well it is bedtime for us! Night Y’all!

Day 3…

Posted on February 27, 2010 by whitneyladams

It is day three of the stomach flu at our house. I am finally beginning to feel like myself again. I have only thrown up once today and the nausea is at bay so far tonight. I was also able to eat for the first time and kept it down tonight. I feel like it is finally leaving my system. It has been a miserable three days. As far as I am concerned this junk is banned from our house! Thank the Lord for pepto bismal and ginger ale! Hope everyone else is staying healthy! I am looking forward to a much needed weekend. Maybe I can get some sleep and be productive around the house this weekend!

sickness…

Posted on February 25, 2010 by whitneyladams
So you remember yesterday I said I was feeling bad, well last night it got worse. I was up and down all night it was miserable (that make 2 nights with hardly any sleep). I got up and got ready for work still feeling horrible. I was basically eating pepto bismal as breakfast. So I got to work and thought I can work through this, unfortunalty an hour into it I was sick again. Stomach sickness is the worst. I HATE feeling nauseous and throwing up!!! Please Lord be gracious to me whenever we decide to have kids and let morning sickness skip me. (Which if you were wondering NO this is not morning sickness, we are not pregnant) I am feeling a little better, but when I ate dinner I got sick again. I hate this. Ginger Ale, Coke, pepto are my new best friends. I am hoping and praying for a good night with little to no nausea and a better day tomorrow.
