Spring break here I come!

Well I made it...18 tests in 8 days, all checked out of the Student Health Center, and ready to resume my education in the campus out-patient clinic when I get back in April. I'm looking forward to a nice break filled with book reading, scrapbooking, exercising and chocolate eating.

What a whirwind of life! For my birthday we got the traditional Crispy Creme donuts for my cake, and enjoyed every last one of them. School has been keeping me busy with finishing up clinic paperwork, taking boards, and preparing to take all my finals for this quarter. I'm looking forward to going into the outpatient clinic next quarter where I will be able to practice and perfect my skills as a doctor.

The team that plays together stays together

Last week in an attempt to overcome sibling bickering and get our family to work together as a team, we decided to go on a hike around Multnomah falls. We began the hike from the car in extremely windy weather, were well protected from the wind once we got into the trees, but then were confronted with the uphill climb, and then completed the last third of the hike in the rain. Did I forget to mention that it was a 5.9 mile hike? Doug and I had a great time and I think the kids learned something about getting along as well....
