Has it really been over a month since I posted last? I've had grand plans to post, but it appears that I've not followed through with those plans at all.
It has been an incredibly crazy month and we have been VERY busy. We have been camping twice already this season, and Katie and I have been to Florida, I returned after a few days, she is still there, for 8 additional days. She is having a blast with Grandma and Papa, they've been swimming, to the zoo, shopping, out on the boat, gardening and lots of other things. We talk to her everyday, and she misses us, but not enough that she wants to come home right this minute as opposed to staying there.
We are going camping again next weekend, to celebrate my graduating from Medical Assistant school. It has been a fast, yet still long, 7 months, and I'm technically not done, but I will no longer have to go to work during the day and then class at night. Instead, I will be working 30 hours a week at my externship site and as needed at my job until I have completed the required 180 hours. I am looking forward to being home with Dan and Katie again in the evening, cooking them dinner.
About my externship. I've been honored with the opportunity to do my externship at the Universtiy of Michigan Brighton Health Center. I'm not usually one to brag or boast too much about myself, but only the best students in the school are offered U of M externships, so I'm incredibly glad to have the opportunity. Having U of M on my resume will make a huge difference in the career opportunities that are available to me in the future, and I hope to some day have a job at one of the many U of M locations in the area. Over the next 6 weeks I will be getting real life, hands on experience and I am looking forward to it! I will be hoping to learn and absorb as much as possible so that I can apply it having a succesful career.
Daniel and I will be celebrating our 3 year anniversary in a few weeks. It's hard to believe it's been 3 years already. They have been great, and I'm looking forward to the next 3 years and beyond!
We've made a lot of fun changes around the house lately, I'll post pictures in a few days. The biggest change is that our entire house has been resided. We've also done some pretty major gardening and we completely moved Katie's bedroom, to an entirely different room.
Check back for more later!!
