Meet Sammie!

We got a new member of the family on Monday from the Paris Animal Shelter...meet Sammie (or Samantha). She is certainly doing everything she can to fit in - including climbing into chairs and sitting at the table after we finished dinner Monday night. But she's a 2 yr old Black Lab, and has just been real calm so far. She likes to climb on me though if I'm sitting on the ground or just put her paws in my lap if I'm sitting in a chair. But it's all been good and it's nice having a dog around the house.

Other news...I made Dean's List (3.5 GPA and higher)!! I had a 3.66 for the semester (B+, A, A, B+). Yay! I'm so happy about that, especially when compared to my other semesters at Alabama. As Mrs. K pointed out tonight, this time last year I had no idea what I would be majoring in and what college I'd be at in the fall. I'm still doing some serious work to get my GPA up to a reasonable point after freshman year (stupid Biology...), but it's getting there. Hopefully my overall GPA will be reasonable by the time I graduate...
