Well, this week has flown by - which is both good and bad. It means that Mini 1 is a week from Monday which is bad (kind of) and the countdown to getting back to CA is slowing disappearing (which is obviously fabulous)! I am pretty on top of my stuff - but this semester is indeed harder than last. This weekend should be a good chance to get good and caught up and start some reviewing (hopefully).
This week was quite hectic at home. Laura (my mom's surgery scheduler and my carpool buddy) and Mike had their baby on the 24th. It was a bit scary but everything turned out great. Mom just sent me a picture of Mikella and she is now the background on my computer :) Andrew popped the question to Sam last night and she said yes, obviously (goooood friends from UCSB)! So they are getting hitched in 2010 sometime. I just talked to her on the phone which was fabulous since I haven't had her phone number in months and messages back and forth just aren't the same.
This is one of the hard things about wanting to become a doctor... knowing that the next 10 years of my life are dedicated elsewhere. Not to say that Colby and I are getting married anytime soon and we DEFINITELY are not making babies - although they would be adorable - 10 years is a long time and it is so fun to see everyone else creating lives that they can enjoy with their loved ones back in CA, where Colby and I can't wait to be again. Although, I am really excited to hopefully end up in Chicago, I have always wanted to spend some time living in a big city :) It will all work out, I know it will.
Colby played a football game today, pictures to be added later. They lost to the 4th semesters but put up a good fight and Colby played so well. He is an animal out there. Unfortunately he got cleated in the face and his eye will probably be swollen shut tomorrow morning. =( We went to the EMS office to have them clean out his wounds on his knees since we didn't have running water and he washed himself with bottled water out of the refridgerator and soap/loofa in the shower. Interesting, eh?
Colby and I are great, his birthday is on Wednesday and hopefully some surprises will be coming in the mail soon :) My mom is so awesome, she got him some good ones! He doesn't even know and since he doesn't read our blog (haha) he probably won't until the box gets here!
Hope everyone is doing well! 2 months and 25 days until we are home!
Love from the rainiest place ever.
