Long time coming for this post....

Things are going good this summer. Went on vacation to North Carolina and essentially laid on a beach all week. Nice stress relief. Will probably post some pictures. I also want to thank everyone for all the support the last couple of months with the passing of my dad. It's been harder than I ever imagined, and I am still trying to deal with all of it. It is getting better with time, but not to sound cliche-ish, it makes you appreciate family so much more. I miss my brother everytime he leaves to go back to Columbia.

I know it is hard to believe(even for myself), but I am even studying a bit this summer to keep up with stuff that I learned so that I remember it for Boards next june. Easy and stress free and I'm just happy that I'm not pulling those 10 hour study days right now. On that note, I am excited that I am working out this summer. Trying to lose some weight that I gained from stress this year.

Planning on making some other trips this summer depending on passports and visas or whatever not. If we can't get it together now, we may try to make it to Dubai over Christmas break and fly a lot of the family over from Iran. Also spending a week in Arkansas with Amanda Mae. I miss her dearly, and she will never know how much I needed an "Amanda Hug" after Dad passed. Then fitting a few days in Springfield with Kristi and Juju.

Also, I'm kind of irritated, but i really wanted to buy one of those Wii Fit things.....Can't find them anywhere because they are as shaddy as the Wii machine is. If anyone should find one, let me know!

I know this is shocking since it has been forever since I wrote.

Hopefully, i will be better about it this summer.

I actually passed my cummulative final!!!!!!!!!! With the curve of course....

I'm happy, but it is hard yo-yoing morale when you are always on the edge of passing and failing. Don't think that I am the only one in that position cause the class average on this exam was still failing....

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers this entire year....it definitely worked! Couldn't have done it without you guys....
