summer time catch up

yes, i know i am horrible about updating this thing.... but it is because i can be. so here are the exciting things that have happened to me in the last few months.
  • college world series. that's right after 3 years in omaha i finally made it to some games. my parents came out and spent the weekend with me and the three of us went to a game. i also went to a game with a group of friends and we had a bbq on my roof after that. besides the down pour of rain at the beginning the night ended up being pretty fun.
  • brady got home! we were able to get the whole heaps family back together for some family fun, which always has to include some kind of competition so we took it to the miniature golf course. not often you see 4 children over 20 years old mini golfing with their parents, but that was us.
  • rotation #2 was at walgreens in omaha. not my dream job.... best thing i've heard about walgreens is them described as the pharmacy mafia.. once you start working there it is for life and they are like a huge family trying to take over the pharmacy world... now is that really who you want filling your prescriptions?
  • rotation #3 UTAH.... i worked at rite aid. yes i did feel like i joined the competition, but i felt like i switched to the good side. i gave my first immunization at this place and not the highlight of the experience.
  • while in utah we got to go to bear lake... always a fun time for the heaps fam. it is almost one long non-stop weekend of competition. but the skiing was fabulous as always. even skiing is a competition to who is the best skier.... this is one competition i am not even a part of.
  • i am now on rotation #4 ... that means in 2 weeks i will be half way done with my 4th year... wow time is flying. this is my ambulatory rotation... i'm working at the lincoln va at the anticoagulation clinic. basically what i do is patients come in and i look at their lab values and determine if their coumadin dose needs to be adjusted.

so basically nothing really interesting has happened in my life... so no need to feel left out that it has been so long since my last post. maybe i'll try to start living a more exciting life, and get better at writing posts, but then again i probably won't.
