I spent most of tonight updating my site so hopefully you've checked that out....I'm involved in several groups learning more about Paint Shop and I've found some really cool resources and sites online that I've incooperated.  The Join Kara's Team page should be fun-I've added a forum where you can share your thoughts on current events or just fun topics....you can post your own too.  It'll be a place for polls..we'll see what comes of it!  I've seen some cool ones so I figured I'd give it a whirl.  Nick and Jenna just left yesterday from their visit.  We had an awesome time.  We went to the zoo, South Beach's pier, Monkey Jungle, Sunset Place, and lots of great places to eat...Ohh we went to the Keys one day too..we were signed up to volunteer to help beached dolphins but it started storming and lightening so after waiting 8 hours we called it a night, returned our stylish wetsuits, and headed home.  It was disappointing but the night was still fun because we had so much time to just hang out with each other...we played poker with Adam's change in his Jeep throughout most of the rain and found a good restaurant down there too!  On our last night, we went out to eat at Dan Marino's and played games at Game Works..I am currently the champ at the balloon drop game!  Course Sunday morning was sad-Bailey was especially dramatic..she got shots the day before so that combined with her sadness when people she likes pack..she was CRYING! No need to fear though she has fully recovered after I gave her the good news I got this afternoon (which means I'll be able to come visit KY this summer).....Are ya ready for it.........I GOT ACCEPTED INTO NOVA SOUTHEASTERN'S PHD PROGRAM!  This was my #1 choice-even when I applied two years ago straight from WSU.  I didn't get in then (obviously!) but I did this time! It's an hour north of here and they have an awesome children with a children/adolescent track AND a health concentration so I can specialize in exactly what I want to do..It's a fully accredited program that has an excellent record placing people in accredited internships across the country...I'm really looking forward to it! I start in the fall and since I'll be transferring, I won't need to take any more classes at Miami.  So-looks like I'm looking for a job this summer..I'm looking forward to that too....Sooo now I can finally get to work planning my summer.  Well--I'm off to bed for now but don't forget to look around the site! I'll post again soon!
