Life is Good!!

When we were in Reno Amber wanted to get a family picture since Cody was in town. He isn't able to get that much time off of work so it was really rare that the whole family was together to take a family picture. I can't believe how big our family has gotten within the past 6 years. It is crazy. I can't wait to get more nieces and nephews and add some kids of our own. I love love love my family. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Well another week has already flown by. It was a great week and I am very very happy with the way things went. I found out last week that I passed the hardest clinical test with 100%. That is really good but I am not thinking I am all that because of a score. I know I have to work hard and do better every day. It was definitely a booster though. I learned a lot this week and I had my big final exit exam in clinic tonight. I think I did ok. My instructor said I did great but she can't tell me if I passed or not till tomorrow!!
I got home after clinic tonight and Cody was home. We decided to go on a little date. We went and hit golf balls at the driving range and to my surprise I hit pretty well and had a lot of fun. Cody was extremely impressed and shocked at how well I was hitting the ball. Maybe I will be able to go and play a round of golf. :) We then went to an outdoor shopping center and looked around and ate dinner at a Japanese restaurant. It was so good. I ordered a california roll and cody ordered a chicken bowl that could have fed four people. It was huge. We had so much fun. It was so nice to spend some time with Cody alone. It was a perfect ending to a great week! Only 3 more weeks!!! HOLY COW!!

Update

Its been a little while since I have updated our blog. We have been doing well these past couple of weeks. The time is flying by way too fast and I wish it would slow down, as crazy as that sounds.
I had a bad bad couple of weeks a few weeks ago that were filled with many tears, doubt, lack of confidence and frustration, but last week and this week have been so great that those bad weeks are fading fast from my memory. My tests have gone well, my patient's have shown up and I have had successful clinics. I have gained greater confidence in myself these past two weeks and feel like I can actually get through this semester successfully. There are only 4 more grueling weeks and then I get to enjoy the summer!!
Last weekend we ended up going to Reno because Cody's dad had open heart triple bypass surgery last Friday. We got to spend time with his family and my family. It was nice to spend time with the family and it was really great to spend so much time with Cody. Cody's dad is doing great and is recovery extremely fast. He went home only three days after his major surgery. The weekend flew by and I didn't get much done but it was worth going up there.
I came home last night and Cody had made homemade sweet potato soup and sandwiches. That was such a nice suprise coming home from a long day of clinic. Not only did he make a wonderful dinner but he cleaned the bathroom too!! I haven't done any cleaning for the past month and I am not going to clean until the end of school. I know I know it is disgusting but I don't have time to waste cleaning. If I do have time I like to relax or take a nap.
Well that's about it for now. I have a huge competency test tomorrow in clinic and I hope I pass. The instructor that is grading me is very particular and catches everything. Wish me luck!!
