one year

Today is the first term's white coat ceremony, last year we were part of that and thankfully this year we are not. When we saw the first terms with their white coats this morning it was kind of crazy think that last year that was us. We have come a long way in one year. Now were driving around the island and we know exactly where were going, it seems like much longer than one year. I remember the first week of school, looking at all the upper termers, thinking how nice it is that they know where they're going what they're doing, and now that's us. This is been by far the hardest year of my life, but it's also the year I'm most proud of. First semester was a real wake-up call and at the end I was really scared, and I didn't know if I could make it. But after the first year I'm more determined than ever and I am glad I stuck it out. The hardest classes are still to come, but the experience I got in the last year as far studying and preparation is going to make a big difference this next year. Second semester went better than the first, and I suspect that each will continually go better. D and I were talking about this past year, and we agree it is been the best and the worst year of our lives.

We really like your new apartment, and Shiloh loves the big yard. We also have some really great neighbors who are very dog friendly. Our landlord has been great and we really are happy we made the move.for one full week and a third term is gone pretty well it's only a six week course. So our fourth term classes will start mid February. That is when we start pathology which is the mother load course of 13 credit.I am going to get back to studying.

  1. It has been a long year, and you two are sorely missed by all who love you. But there will come a day when you will look back and say, "Wow that first year in Grenada was sure fun!". As the old saying goes, "It has sometimes hard to see the forest when you are looking at the trees". Soon you will be out of that forest, and on to another adventure. Breeze through this term, beat down the next term, and head back to the states for some R and R. Countin down the days with you.

    P.S. you got girl hair now!
