Well, hello there! Yes, it's been a while. Glad to see me? I hope so.
The last couple of months have been busy, busy!
We moved into a house. It's the cutest little craftsman bungalow with creaky wood floors and big thick door frames. I adore it.
Patrick got a job! (Yay - and thanks to those of you who prayed to the big man for us!) He's working in Cardiovascular Intensive Care - Step Down. He works 3 days a week, and gets the rest of the week off. And yes, this is considered full time. Can you believe that?
Most importantly - I have 3 weeks left of 2nd year!! I take my last assessment next Friday, and a comprehensive exam the final week, and I am finished! This is the month I have waited for since I first decided to go to medical school - finishing my career in a classroom.
At the end of April (following my national boards exam), I begin my second half of medical school - clinical rotations. Goodbye library, hello hospitals! Now don't be fooled, I will be more exhausted than I am now. More nights, more weekends, more hours - but I will have actual human contact.
Oh, and did I mention that the hubs and I are taking a "second honeymoon" to Costa Rica in a couple of months? : )
Now, if I can just get through this last stretch! Wish me luck!
xoxo
