Majorly Overdue Update

I couldn't sleep so I thought what the hell, I would update my blog FINALLY. Sorry it has been so long since I have written - I have been pretty busy lately. The cruise was a lot of fun - good times with wonderful friends. Some highlights were "Velda" jokes, climbing Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica, snorkeling, the ice show, swimming, and our absolutely beautiful ship!
Since I have gotten back I have dove in full throttle getting ready to apply for a clin path residency. I went to MSU to visit the clinical pathologists there and talk about the residency and application process. I am going to start attending their journal club meetings since they are on Tuesdays which is my day off :) I have been reading my clin path texts on my free time (yes I am a geek but I'm loving it and learning a lot. I am starting to line up recommendations too. I have also developed a plan incase I don't get in anywhere this year. Steve and I will move back to Lansing and he will try and find a good job, I will try and find something part time at a vet clinic and spend every possible moment I can in the clin path lab at MSU and attending their meetings, etc. Its nice to have a plan either way but I really hope I can get in somewhere this year.

Sue, Steve and I have started taking Taekwondo two nights a week. It is so much fun and AMAZING stress relief!!! Its amazing how even as a beginner/white belt it can make you feel so self-confident. In a month or two we will test for our yellow stripe :)

Tomorrow (actually today since its almost 5 am lol) we are leaving for our annual family vacation at Fern Resort in Orillia Canada where we have been going pretty much every year since I was 3 years old. I love that place so much and the people even more. Kendra is able to come for the whole week this year and Liz will be there Wed - Sun so we will be able to have lots of good friend time :) They have made a lot of changes at the resort this year that I can't wait to see - for example the building we stay in was totally redone and our room will be brand new with all new things - very exiting :) Anyway I should probably go back to bed so I can keep Steve company while he is driving and I don't sleep the whole way.
