Drs. Jeremy + Stephanie Nelms, PT

So it's official..there are TWO physical therapists in the Nelms' household!!! Jeremy passed back in October, but unfortunately I missed by two questions my first go around. Yes, that's right-TWO questions!!! After several weeks of being supported by my husband (financially and emotionally-talk about testing the limits of a newlywed!) I gave it another try and PASSED!

Okay so here is the run down of what happened in October. Jeremy and I registered for the exact same time, date, and place but somehow the day BEFORE the test, we realized something got messed up in his registration process and he actually MISSED his test date (nightmare)!!! So we frantically tried the next day to resolve the issue, but FSB decided to take the day off. So I was left to take the test alone and a little frazzled. But it all worked in the end....just took me a little longer than expected.

We both took jobs here in Paris. It's a little different setup than most places. The PT clinic here staffs both hospitals and the OP. The idea that started was continuity of care from acute, rehab, to HH or OP services. So Jeremy does acute at the south hospital and I will be in rehab at the north hospital. A little different but nice that we won't see each other all day at work, then all night at home! So we will have a wonderful start to the new year....TWO paychecks!!! All I can say is....HELLO CLOSEST MALL!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

Our First Christmas Tree.....

okay so can't really see the tree, but it's pretty! Okay, so it's actually a little bare, so I think it's more appropriate to say "it has great potential!" haha. But we decided...whether it's lame to anyone else... to do red and black decorations. Actually I decided and more so Jeremy agreed. At first, I didn't think anyone would have any black decorations (a little goth, I know) but I was pleasantly surprised to see WalMart of all places had black ornaments! They truly try to please the masses!

Coach Clark

My brother's team made the playoffs (but unfortunately lost in the 2nd round) so we decided to make the roadtrip to cheer him on. Here is some pictures of us trying to keep entertained during halftime..... So for some reason they were playing "YMCA" and Jeremy tricked my Mom into standing up and doing the motions! Yes, he said "I'll do it, if you do" haha... Sorry Mom!

And here is the enthusiastic coach!!!




I couldn't resist!

A few weeks ago, Jeremy was a groomsmen in one of his good friends weddings. Somehow during the "getting ready" time with the other groomsmen and groom, the boys stumbled across some hats and just couldn't resist the photo-op. Enjoy! They are quite amusing! And no, this were NOT their wedding attire!


Jeremy and his (I think) lifelong buddy Kyle......or at least his "P.I.C."
Jason (groom), Jeremy, and Kyle...



Thanksgiving!!!

As usual, Jeremy and I spent our Thanksgiving at the Cowboys game this year. We were both very THANKFUL that Jerry didn't get the Jonas brothers to sing during halftime again this year- we had enough middle aged women jumping up and down for the Jonas' last year! Daughtry did put on a good show so it was worth it. We were afraid at first that we wouldn't make it to the game. Jeremy was scheduled to work the holiday :( But, after he saw all his patients Thursday morning, we took off to Jerry land!

This year we decided to have a more Turkey Day "appropriate" meal and had turkey legs, broccoli rice casserole, mashed potatoes, AND rolls! Okay so everything was made ahead of time and we just heated it up on the grill, but still I was quite impressed with our effort! Here a few pictures of our celebration:

So we are too cheap to buy paper plates and I didn't want to take anything that would break, so please excuse the cake pans....
MMMM.....turkey leg!

Not really sure what is going on with my hand there!


Halftime entertainment.... side note: we were sitting by a guy from Oakland who literally flew all the way just for the game (why, I don't know!). Anyways, so when they began setting up the stage he says "what is this, the superbowl??" I kindly informed him that Jerry goes all out for Thanksgiving!
