Almost there! But not quite....

Almost there! We are so close to finishing this semester. I can't wait to have my husband back and "regroup" a little. It will be so cool to start into the second year and be halfway done with Medical school. I'm excited to have Abby turn 4 years old! she's been excited for the past week to bring cupcakes into her class that we'll make with pink icing. I'm really excited for next week getting away to the beach as a family. Just to unwind.
This past weekend was amazing. My extraordinary sister-in-law "Devan" graduated from law school. I had to be there. This woman and accomplishment was more important to me then she'll ever know. She did this at first while working (I think what at least seemed full-time) for the first two years. She was married with a spouse going to school full-time for the first two years that also worked full-time. She published on multiple law journals during school. Then in the middle their family was blessed with Zoe and Syd (Twin girls). Oh, and they have a cat and a dog and moved 4 times during all of this.
I always knew even if I had to sneak in that I would have to be at this graduation if they survived. Really it was for two reasons. First, how proud I am of Ryan and Devan. Second thanks so much for showing me that it can be done. I needed to see this. I needed to see what surviving professional school looked like and you guys looked beat up! But in the end someone does tell you you're finished. Thanks so much for letting us be apart of your hard work. Love you guys!

Well and to all those who don't know I got in at VCU and will start in the fall. So, Robby will be in full-time medical school second year, Abby 4 years old pre-school 3 days to 2 days a week, and I will be full time mom, full-time work and 9 credit hours per semester toward my BSN. So, we thought we had no time before so we have no time on no time and I think I'm going to try maybe no sleep for two years or so. Our time is going to be golden.

Sorry so long inbetween posts. We are as busy as we can humanly make ourselves. We hope all is well with everyone.
