November Update

It dawned on me today that Thanksgiving is next week and with the anticipated break comes unanticipated assignment due dates!   My first semester of grad school is almost complete.  Once back from Thanksgiving break, I have one week of classes and then finals!!  I can't believe how fast this entire year has gone.

Luke and I are growing ever more anxious with his anticipated applications to grad school as well.  The idea that we could BOTH be done with school by the end of 2013 is so exciting!  We both have been working so hard for the last 6+ years - and we only have more work ahead of us for at least the next 2 years, yet it will be all worth it in the end.  Knowing that we are working in professional fields that we are passionate about and enjoy is totally worth it.

In the meantime, I have decided what I want to specialize in as an occupational therapist - finally!  I want to specialize in brain and spinal injuries.  It was hard for me to choose because I think I would enjoy all areas of OT.  However, brain and spinal injuries are universal in that it can happen to ANYWAY at ANY age.  I can only imagine it would be a devastating experience and (if it were myself or a loved one) I would want to know that the person caring for me and helping me recover is committed and passionate about recovery.

Today was Luke's first day out on Opening Day.  I'm still waiting for him to get home, which will probably be about another hour or so...but from his phone call it sounds as if he had a good day.  No luck in getting a deer - but there will be more opportunities.

Overall, things are going well and getting VERY busy.  We are both looking forward to Christmas break and some time off from homework!

Luke's help with the sugar cookies....thanks babe!
