!?! OU Football !?!

Jordan went to visit our friend Elliot in Dallas last weekend while I was left to study at home but I did take a little break to go to the OU v. North Texas football game with my dad. I must admit that this was a bit of a conflict for my Razorback spirit but we had a good time. I missed being in the stands in Fayetteville and had to just watch the score scroll by in Norman. :(

Kyla and Titus are married!

We did make it back to Fayetteville last weekend for Kyla and Titus - now the Praters - wedding. Kyla looked beautiful and the ceremony was wonderful. Congratulations!

Two weeks into Medical School

I am starting my third week of medical school Monday and it has been a bit of a whirlwind! I got my first white coat, my first stethascope (and laughed because I didn't know what to do with it), had my first "pretend patient", have worked 4 afternoons on my cadaver, and am adjusting to the massive amount of material. This is a picture of all my books which I am sure that I will not have time to read entirely. All in all though I am having a blast. Sometimes it seems like a lot of book work but every day I get to do something or learn something that makes me think "wow! this is why i wanted to come to medical school". I haven't cooked in about a week and a half and so I am grateful for my sister, brother in law and husband who make sure it is on the table. I feel blessed to get to be here.

Our First Week in Oklahoma

Jordan's Classroom


White Coat Ceremony
My "Mod"

Our first week back in Oklahoma was a busy one. Jordan worked really hard to get his classroom all together. I think he adds more each day. It looks amazing! Their theme is the Oklahoma State Centennial Celebration. He was very grateful for all the people that gave him stuff because when we first got there his room was pretty bare! His kids came to school last week and he loves them all. He comes home with stories every day. He is starting to work at the after school program next week too.
I had medical school orientation for three days that week also. I met all my classmates and more importantly my small group members - my "mod", short for module. The week of orientation ended with our white coat ceremony. Mostly for the parents, it was a fun night and kind of surreal. (Sorry those pics aren't very good.)

See ya later!

Jordan and I were so grateful for all the "See ya later" celebrations in Arkansas before we moved. Thank you so much!!!

We are getting settled into Oklahoma and trying to find our way around. My TomTom is getting a lot of use!!! Jordan is working to set up his classroom and I am trying to figure out downtown OKC. Hopefully we will have some Oklahoma pictures soon!

England and Scotland

Jordan at Stonehenge
The Harris family on the London Eye

We spent 11 days in England and Scotland with Jordan's mother's high school class trip. It was our first time to visit there and we had a blast! Jordan was so excited to get to see Stonehenge. He also stood illegally on Hadrian's Wall. (We all know how much he likes to follow the rules) I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get to see Prince William - maybe next time. ;) But, I did get to visit lots of castles and feel like a princess for the day!

Jordan's Graduation

Jordan graduation from his masters program in May. He is glad to finally be done with school! He will be teaching 5th grade at Apollo Elementary in Putnam City, Ok. We are proud of him!!!

Weddings!

Jordan and I have been blessed to be apart of lots of weddings this spring and summer. Julie and Adam were married in April, followed by Megan and Chris, then Zach and Staci and we are anxiously awaiting Kyla and Titus's wedding in August. We are happy for all the new couples and thankful that they made us apart of their big day!

Back to Blogging

After being chastised by my friends for not updating the House of Harris blog I have recovered my account information and should be up and running again. Sorry it was so boring for a whileI We look forward to keeping in touch!

Easter

Even though it was cold, we had a great time at home for Easter!

State Finals

Jordan's wrestling team had their state finals this weekend. They had 9 guys place with one coming in second. They came in 5th as a team!

Coach Harris

Jordan coached his first wrestling match tonight. The team is new so the boys are still learning but they tried hard tonight. Jordan thinks they have potential!

Adam and Julie

These are our best friends Adam and Julie. They are getting married April 14th at the Marlsgate Plantation outside of Little Rock, AR.

Christmas 2006
