Grad School, Fall 1, Week 1

This week is going pretty great so far. We take gross anatomy with human dissection lab this semester. I am excited to get in there and start. We have either this class or its lab every single day of the semester. On Wednesdays, we have both the lab and the lecture. So to say that this is an important class with a lot of information to learn is a bit of an understatement. All my other classes seem to fail in comparison to the importance and value of this class. So another struggle this semester will be putting as much effort into all my other classes as I will for anatomy. I am excited though. I am missing my Trae and my Bella a lot. They got into their new place in California and it is poolside. Bella has been swimming in the pool already and she really likes it, of course. I will put pictures up when I get some. I realized I was back in college again when a spontaneous tye dyeing event took place and not only was I invited, but I was super excited about it and had a lot of fun doing it. There are some amazing people in my class and I am really looking forward to becoming great friends with them. I have also been commissioned to organize our programs girls flag football team. I am also excited about this, but not really the organization part of it, just the participation. Can you imagine Med school and dental school students playing flag football?! Can be pretty comical if you know some of the doctors I know! The picture is of me and my sister at the tye dye party!

Ahhhhh... (Sigh of Contentment)

I have survived the waiting. I have been absent from the blog world to try to soak up and suck every bit of time with the hubby I can while he is still here. He leaves tomorrow to head to NC to get our house sold. Thanks for all the good wishes. It has been a wonderful week of being with him. We had a blast this week and have regained our normal energy, strength, and happiness levels being with each other. Bella has also been a joy to have around again. I really miss her a lot. She has been going to the lake everyday and is slap wore out! She is taking the day off and resting. She passed out on the dock yesterday in the middle of lots of new people and activity. I knew she was tired, she has never just taken a nap in the middle of so many people before. But she did get in a little kayak ride while at the lake this week. It was so funny. Trae also had to use his excellent nursing/suture skills to sew up a friend of ours at the lake. He got hooked by a large bass hook. I have been loving having Trae here. It is perfect. Now we just need to sell the house in NC and he can come here, take a permanent job while I am in school and we can be like a normal couple! That will be nice!

Nothing New

I feel like I have been away from the blog for so long. I have been looking at it everyday and reading all of my favorites every day, but I have had some trouble coming up with anything to write. I do not want to just post a bunch of jibberish just to post something. But on the other hand, on a day to day basis, at least the last week or so, there has been nothing incredibly new to report. I have been quilting, but not enough progress yet to discuss on here. I have been cooking, but nothing really exciting or interesting enough to discuss. Every day is pretty much the same for me. I love my life, but I don't think it would be particularly interesting to many other people. Maybe I should be paying more attention to what is going on around me, slow down and appreciate the world that I live in and the things I see and experience more.Trae and I went to Tahoe again on Sunday night after he got off work. We stayed with my aunt and uncle again. It was a very nice quick trip. We skied all day on Monday, they got a very nice big storm over the weekend. Trae got his fix of fresh powder and I got to stay on the groomers and in the terrain park, which I am loving more and more. Bella had a wonderful time playing in the snow, no surprise there. We got some very funny pictures of her too. We came back around noon on Tuesday because Trae had to cover for someone on Tuesday night. Not too sure what is on the docket for the rest of the week. So I guess my task is to now pay more attention when I am out running errands to find people, sights, or whatever else I can appreciate and seems big enough to write about!
