Baby It's Cold Outside

Oh, now that Jerrick and I live together again we are back to our dorky selves. Check out our video to get you in the Christmas spirit. Maybe no one else will, but we sure thought we were pretty funny.

 

 

Reunited

Well, we knew the time would come that we would have to say goodbye to Houston, Texas. However, that did not make the day any easier! We grew to love the people in Texas and all the friends we made in Houston. Sure it's humid, filled with west nile mosquitos, and the traffic would make anyone pull their hair out... but it was home and we were sad to go. The worst part was that I would be sending Jerrick off to start medical school in Las Vegas and I couldn't follow him for 4 months! Yep, I had to finish off my program in Houston.

Those last months consisted of me living in a tiny town (population smaller than my high school) called Glen Rose, Texas for two months for my family medicine rotation. I did grow to love the simplicity of life and people. (It was the only rotation where they laughed when I asked them if parking was an issue.) Then, I was blessed to be able to do an elective rotation in Vegas to be near to Jerrick for a month. The last month I was back in Houston finishing up research.

I was able to make a few trips out to Vegas while I was away. Especially to see Jerrick at his White Coat Ceremony! The beginning of medical school is no picnic, but he is working so hard! I am so proud of him!

 

Then, he headed off to Houston to see me Graduate. I can't believe that I am done with the PA program at Baylor College of Medicine. Time flies! What a wonderful 2.5 years full of a lot of frustrations, hard work, sweat, tears, friends, laughs, and smiles. That's what life is all about! I had to present my research at a poster presentation and my research actually won first place (hey, I am excited about ANY sort of extra income!) Then, Jerrick and my amazing parents were there for my graduation. I definitely could not have done it without those three amazing people!

 

 



My parents took us out to eat at Eddie V's. It was super fancy and absolutely delicious! Some pics of the happy couples:

Well, after graduation I spent many evenings joining Jerrick in his studies to prepare for the PANCE. I took that dreadful test today and I am relieved that it is over. Now I just have to wait for the results... and try to RELAX for a few weeks before I start work. For the record, I am excited that I will no longer (perhaps ever) be joining Jerrick in late night studying. Am I really not a student anymore?! I am just thrilled that we are now reunited and living in Henderson TOGETHER!
