WHAT'S NEW WITH THE GANNONS???

IT IS TIME FOR A UPDATE ON THE EXCITING LIVES OF TIFFANY AND D.J. (JUST KIDDING)

TIFFANY: THIS PAST TUESDAY I FINISHED UP MY FIRST SEMESTER OF NURSE PRACTITIONER SCHOOL. I REALLY CAN NOT BELIEVE THE FIRST SEMESTER IS ALREADY OVER..?..ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN TOUGH AT TIMES TO BALANCE BETWEEN SCHOOL, WORK, AND FAMILY, I FINALLY FEEL LIKE I AM IN A GROOVE. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW DUE TO THE WORKLOAD OF SCHOOL THROUGH THE WEEK I HAVE RECENTLY SWITCHED TO THE WEEKEND SHIFT AT WORK, IT ISN'T MY IDEAL WORK SCHEDULE, BUT IT WILL HAVE TO SUFFICE FOR NOW. SO WITH ONE SEMESTER DOWN I HAVE 4 TO GO. ON DECK FOR NEXT SEMESTER IS: ADVANCED PHARMACOLOGY, ADVANCED RESEARCH, AND EDUCATION I. ALSO NEW TO ME IS MY RECENT INVOLVEMENT IN JUNIOR AUXILLARY OF MCMINNVILLE. THIS OCTOBER I JOINED THIS FANTASTIC GROUP OF WOMEN TO UNITE IN THE EFFORTS OF MAKING MCMINNVILLE A BETTER PLACE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. I RECENTLY PARTICIPATED IN ONE OF OUR MAIN EVENTS FOR WARREN COUNTY, CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK (BUURRRR). ALTHOUGH IT WAS A LITTLE NIPPY OUT I FEEL SO BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN APART OF THAT NIGHT WHILE IN THE COMPANY OF SOME AMAZING WOMEN WHO I TRULY LOOK UP TO AS ROLE MODELS.

D.J.: AS FOR D.J. HE IS STILL LOVING HIS NEW JOB. I HONESTLY CAN NOT DESCRIBE HOW SCARY IT WAS FOR THE BOTH OF US WHEN HE DECIDED TO TAKE THE BUY OUT FROM NISSAN. HOWEVER WE GAVE THE DECISION TO GOD AND HE HAS TRULY BLESSED US IN RETURN. D.J. IS LOVING HIS "DAYTIME" JOB INSTEAD OF NIGHTS AND IS NOW SURROUNDED BY GOD FEARING MEN WHO HE TRULY ENJOYS WORKING WITH. HOWEVER, D.J. TOLD ME LAST NIGHT HE IS GETTING A LITTLE BIT BORED WITH ME NOT BEING AROUND ON THE WEEKENDS (I TOLD HIM THAT I CAN GIVE HIM PLENTY TO DO). BESIDES WORKING D.J. IS ENJOYING DEER SEASON, AND OF COURSE, MAKING AMISH BREAD.

O' LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT BENTLEY...

BENTLEY: BENTLEY IS CURRENTLY ENJOYING HER DOGGY MANSION THAT D.J. AND I PURCHASED FOR HER IN LATE SEPTEMBER. ON ANY GIVEN DAY YOU CAN USUALLY CATCH BENTLEY CHEWING UP ONE OF MY CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS FROM THE CHRISTMAS TREE, STEALING SOCKS FROM ME WHILE I AM TRYING TO FOLD THE LAUNDRY, DRINKING FROM THE TOILET, OPENING CABINET DOORS SO SHE CAN GET INTO THE GARBAGE, AND OF COURSE OUR PERSONAL FAVORITE, TREEING OUR NEIGHBORS CATS AT 3A.M. AND BARKING RELENTLESSLY UNTIL WE GO AND GET HER.

OKAY, WELL THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR NOW...HOPE EVERYONE IS GEARING UP FOR A FABULOUS CHRISTMAS
