One year down...

I am sorry I haven't posted any new pics of Drake lately. Chris has had the computer with the pictures on it. I will soon - I promise.

Anyways, I just wanted to give a little shout out to Chris. After tomorrow he will be done with his first year of medical school. I can't believe we have one year down, it has gone by pretty fast. It really hasn't been too bad either. A lot of people told us horror stories about how you never see your husband, how I would be a single parent, how it is a long journey, etc. I am not saying it was easy but Chris managed to still be home some of the time. He came home for dinner every night and depending on his schedule, he would either hang out for the night or go back to school and study. On the weekends he would try to take Saturdays off to hang out with Drake and I unless he had a test coming up. He would always check in on us and on the few instances when I had to take Drake to the doctor, Chris would take time off school to come with. He did really well at managing his time and making Drake and I feel important and needed. He also did really well in all of his classes! He made some great contacts this year, has shadowed some doctors, is teaching CPR, doing a research project this summer, and volunteering at the Saturday Free clinic. He definitely is a busy man, but he does really well at balancing it all. It is definitely scary moving to a new place and not knowing anyone but I have had so much fun! We have grown so much as a family and have come to realize how much we depend and need each other. I can't wait to keep this great adventure going with my wonderful husband and son! I am so grateful for my family! Thank you Chris for being such a great husband while being an outstanding medical student! With one year down, I am looking forward to the many more years to go before this great adventure is over.
