UF Pharmacy is #9!!!

Yea- University of Florida!  UF's College of Pharmacy made it to the top 10 in this year's ranking of Pharmacy programs nationwide in U.S. News & World Report up from #11 last year.  

Not only are we proud because Mike is doing so well in school, but his Dad is a Professor in the College and is one of the reasons why they are so highly ranked!  Great job Meldrum Men!  

This is Mike's Dad "coating" him last year (most don't get this privilege) 

San Diego Fun

Mike was able to go to San Diego for an AphA Conference.  His sister, Melanie, meet up with him and had a sibling party by themselves and as you can see from the pictures, had tons of fun.  They went to Balboa Park, The San Diego Zoo, La Jolla, the Naval ship yard amongst other things.  In La Jolla it was Seal birthing season and the beaches were covered in the Seals with their young!   Thank Mel for sending me the Pictures!  Enjoy a view of San Diego in March.  

Just a side note- you might notice Mike's Facial Hair (he decided that he wanted to grow a Goatee before the conference so that is his couple-day attempt at a goatee). 

The Impossible Quiz

I have to admit, I totally got hooked and could spend hours on this game.  You have to think out of the box and let me know how far you got!  Enjoy!

What to do when you hubby is gone

Mike was able to attend the APhA conference in San Diego this past week over spring break (a new phenomenon to BYU students).  I really think that he just wanted to go to the zoo, but nonetheless, he is a hard worker so he should be able to play sometimes.  Too bad for me, I was not able to go with him.  Not to fear, I still had a fun time without him.   I went with Stacy (a friend from work) to the Blue Man Group, How to be a rockstar 2.1 show.  It was amazing, fun, and was a  sensory overload.  These were not the greatest pictures but was quite hard to take quality ones.  I would recommend anyone go to their show if you are at all in their vicinity.

I also babysat for some friends on Friday night and had a blast doing it. 

 I decided that since I was home alone on a Friday night, I might as well let someone else go and have a fun date night.   Jack (1.5) and I played, read books, rode his zebra and ate dinner.  Quite fun!

I also got to go with Mike's Parents to the Quilt festival in Trenton (a VERY small town in the backwoods of Florida).  It was the first year and was TOTALLY FUN!  They had the street shops lined with quilts hanging from the overhang the front of the store.  Some were hundreds of years old and some were more modern.  

It was a lot of fun and I was reinvigorated to start quilting more often.  

Lettuce attack and the reason why people live in Florida.

So on Wednesday I took a picture of my little spring garden with the lettuce and you can't really see but there are also little green onions and carrots along with my Bougainvillea plants as well.   Well, as you can see, someone must have seen my take my pictures or something like that because the next day when I got home I saw this...  someone went through and slashed and pulled out all of my lettuce plants for no reason at all.  I was so sad and mad as I could see that there were little shoe prints in the middle of the soil.  I am a bit over it now, but was quite depressed when it happened.   This, on the other hand, is one of the happy reasons why I love florida!  These are just wild flowers that were growing on the side of the road.  Mike and I were dropping off a lady from church at her house which is off a dirt road and there were hundreds of these flowers along the side.  They were so beautiful that I had to stop and pick some.  Yea Flowers!

Oh, and did I mention the beautiful 80 degree weather we are having?  Love the spring time with low humidity and warm weather!
