We're just a couple of months late for our every 6 month blogging appointment (I'll try to do better in the future).... Life has been busy, busy lately but I am on my 21 day break so I figured I would take some time to give a little update....
So like I said, I am on a BREAK! Believe it or not, we were given a very gracious break before our LAST semester of NURSING SCHOOL! The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter, but so surreal... I'm afraid any mention of graduating could jinx the entire thing- "knock on wood"...
Collin is HALF WAY THROUGH MEDICAL SCHOOL!! He has done so well and has really enjoyed it so far. His third year will consist of following doctors of various specialties around at different hospitals... This is when med school starts getting good. He'll get to spend the entire year in the hospital setting while putting to practice what he's been learning! Then fourth year will be some time in the hospital but mostly applying and interviewing for RESIDENCY programs! (Where does the time go??) Then he graduates and we start planning for a new adventure!
Right now Collin has a strict and strenuous studying schedule that will prepare him to take the Step 1 (the first half of the boards).... So from early in the morning to late at night, Collin is at the school....studying. I'm really so proud of him though. There's a reason why he signed up for this med school thing and I didn't... There's no way I'd be able to hang!
Well another reason I'm blogging is because I need to waste time before we go to my first midnight showing to The Avengers! It's going to be awesome... We've been so pumped for this movie to come out!
Annddd then tomorrow I leave for Palm Desert for Girl's Week with my Mom, Grandma, and Aunts! It is an annual thing they have been doing for years and I've become an official part of the fun! Poor Collin gets left behind but hopefully he can be super productive with his studying without having me here to distract him... I'll be sure to bring something home for him!

Thank goodness you finally updated your blog! Elise and I were just talking about you two :) and reminiscing Collin making us see Iron Man (which we ended up loving). I am seeing The Avengers tonight, too. Love you and miss you both lots.
