2 weeks down 69 weeks to go

I can't believe how fast the last 2 weeks have flown by!  Nate is learning leaps and bounds and has even ran a few cases on his own and several with minimal help.  He has been averaging 13 hours at the hospital and then usually studies for 3-4 hours everyday.  During the time he studies, he has to write up short care plans, read through 9-10 chapters for a test each month, write long care plans and then read up on the cases he will be doing the next day.  I am so impressed with how diligent he has been with his time.  He always tries to eat supper with us which is his down time at the moment.  He tries to get everything done Monday through Saturday that way he can take Sunday off to spend quality time with us!  We all have adjusted pretty well to this change. 

I will try and take a picture of him in his scrubs when he comes home one of these days!

Last week the kids and I made a countdown garland and each week one of the kids gets to tear one off representing Nate completing another week!  This is something we all look forward to doing on Friday night or Saturday.  Both of us agree that this season of life will go by quickly.

Just wanted to give a quick update to let family and friends know how things are going.

That's all for now!  Till next time,
