so its been about a week since our last post.... thats my goal, update every weekend. so if you are following, look for updates on saturday or sunday!
this week has gone by REALLY fast! probably because both of us are now busy all day every day ha. Micks school is officially in intense mode. this week he had two tests already... which will pretty well be routine from now on. the good news - he has established a study group with three girls who live in the league city area, so no more driving all the way to the island to study for a couple hours! the three girls are all also married, so its kind of a neat deal! sunday night they met at a girl named kristen's apartment, and tuesday night the girls came over to our apartment to study. this seems to be a pretty big benefit and has worked really well for him! his tests went pretty well! he at least now knows a little bit more about the pace and expectations that will be put on him for testing, which is always a good thing to know!
this week was also my first full week at work! i really do love my new job :) of course there are a few kiddos that like to test you day in and day out...but come on, they are three! over all we have really great group of kids! the two girls that i work with are also super sweet and a lot of fun, and with three year olds, there are lots of laughs throughout the day haha. we did have a front come in this week, so between the weather change and working with little ones i did manage to end up getting a little bit sick by the end of the week, but nothing major. one of the little boys birthday is this weekend, so we got to end the week with a birthday celebration! little kid birthdays = cupcakes!! yay!! of course they were spiderman cupcakes too haha :) i wish i could post pictures of them for yall, but we arent allowed to do that... you would fall in love them in a heartbeat too :)
what we learned this week - DONT GO TO A WALK IN CLINIC AFTER 7!! aparently, the only ones that are open after 7 here double as ERs... soooo you get to pay an arm and a leg. like i said, i started getting sick on wednesday.. had a pretty bad soar throat and a fever, so even though i hate going to the doctor (which after this trip i believe my feelings are well founded!), i decided i needed to know if i was really sick and contagious so i didnt go to school and get the kiddos sick. long story short, i tested negative for strep, so the doc said it was just a virus that would have to run its course and i was fine to go to school. annnnnnd then... he proceeds to write me a prescription for ibuprofen and throat lozenges. REALLY????? thanks bud... but uhh... those are common household medicines and i think ill just stick to the ones i have. dumb. then, we go to leave and learn about all the lovely charges. so, i spent two hours in a drs office for a ton of money to accomplish the same thing i could have done on the couch at home. see, my dislike for going to the doctor is not my fault. and yes... i am married to a soon to be pa. ha
in other news, we FINALLY got to hang out with/meet some new friends! friday night we went out to a restaurant with the three other couples from micks study group. mick and i ate before to save money hahaha... welcome to broke world! anyway, we really enjoyed hanging out with them...all of them are extremely nice! there was one couple in particular that likes to do outdoor things and play sports.. SCORE!! all of the couples are also Christians, which is a huge benefit, and none of them have kids yet, so it makes it easy to make plans last minute. hopefully we will get to hang out with them again sometime soon!
thats about it for this week's excitement! we love and miss you all! see you soon!
