Samantha

Samantha probably had the most event filled year of any of us. It started out by finding out that the puppy she got for Christmas had distemper, and eventually had to be put down. (For a full description on our experience with Canine Distemper....click here.)

Then she got repeated bouts of Strep Throat. This was after our friends from Indy came out for 3 weeks. (This adventure can be read about here).
In early May she got another puppy...Kodi, the white and black dog that is some of the photos on this blog. 3 weeks later she had her tonsils out and spent about 2 weeks recovering. Immediately after her recovery from having her tonsils out, she spent a week living in the dorms at Colorado State University (CSU) attending a Pipe Organ Encounter. She still plays the piano some, but is really into pipe organ.

By the time August rolled around she was taking a full load of classes at the local Community College and CSU. She's taking 17 units including organ performance, economics, English Comp, Us History, etc..As it turns out CSU has one of the finer pipe organs in the world. As it turns out, Sam's organ teacher plays at our church.

Right after she started the semester we found out she has a type of mono. She's had to take it somewhat easy in the exercise dept for the past few months.
