hooray for ralph!

Hip hip hooray. We (and I use the term "we" quite liberally)have just passed a major hump on the road to finishing med school! Kent just attended his last class and took his last accompanying test!!!! Sure, he's got crazy boards in June- and then a shelf following each rotation for the next two years-and then another set of boards- but he's out of the classroom and into the hospitals (starting in July)!

I can't believe how hard Kent works day after day. It's outrageous how many hours he studies. The amount of information he is responsible for is overwhelming! I am so grateful for such an incredibly smart, dedicated, and motivated husband. He finds such great balance in spending time with me, with the rugrats, fulfilling his calling, and doing school. I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Thank you so so much Kent! Hooray for finishing the past two years!!!!

I've had the privilege of working with some wonderful, dedicated docs in my 30 plus years. Good luck Kent, I know you'll be awesome when you're done with all the hard work...Congrats to you Leisy, because it takes an equally wonderful spouse to stand behind him and keep the home fires burning! You're welcome to come visit our surgery unit any time you want!

I just can't believe it has been two years! That is so amazing! It's always true that individual days can feel like forever, but a year can just flit by. Congrats to both of you! As Steve gets closer to graduation I get less picky about where and what he does as long as there is a where and what that doesn't involve Sara circle. :)
