Thoughts from ME

Today there is just ten days until Christmas, eight until I see Jay! Yay! We're going to visit the temple and I'm just excited. Anyway! So I am at home. It's cold as usual and all of our cats are enjoying the fact another warm body is here. Maddie is so happy whenever she sees me, but she is like that with everyone so not stock! I have a few more people to buy for and today I get to pick out fabric for my quilt! Saturday (well Sunday morning) Rachel and I finished Hannah's quilt then yesterday we finished Aaron's and started Rachel, I'm going to go work on that here in a little bit. It's so nice being home but I'll be travelling to SLC for Christmas so I will only be here for a week or so :( Ah well... But! I'm here for a week! Yes!~

From Omaha, NE

The idea for this blog post comes from a blog I occasionally read called The Freckled Fox . She calls these posts "Taking Stock": Seeing: all the dogs sleeping, a nephew playing, ceiling fans turning, grey clouds. Making: an effort to not disappear into the bedroom I'm staying at while in Nebraska with family (kids'll do that to me) Cooking: nothing. Since I'm visiting family in Omaha, I haven't done much cooking. But while here I have made my absolute favorite PB cookies which are easy and delicious Drinking: sooooo much water - still not enough Reading: a guide for everything you need to know about medical school and Pushkin's Eugene Onegin Hearing: the pot on the stove cooking the bottles which contain my SIL Nicole's homemade spaghetti sauce Wanting: the next year to speed by - I am tired of fretting about med school applications and would like the whole thing finished - please? Looking: forward to visiting the zoo to...

getting to and through YEAR ONE

Hello? Oh, Hello there! I am excited to talk more about my summer as I enjoy the last few days before I dive into studying hard. It is almost the beginning of the second year of medical school. Last year was one of the hardest years of my life. I experienced more pain, suffering, doubt, tears, and heartache than I have ever before in such large doses. I staggered under the weight of my fears and found myself often on my knees with no where else to turn. It was a beautiful place to find myself. Of course it is easy to say that now, looking back as I stand proud. There was a lot that went into my decision to go to medical school. Ultimately it took a lot of prayer and a lot of planning. It took a lot of service hours, a lot of hard work in my undergrad, a lot of conversations with my mother. It was a grueling process which no one can understand until you've been through it. I often doubted I was making the right choice. As I was preparing for the MCAT, which is the entr...
