Little Brother

My little brother (Thomas) left on his mission today. I have cried so much in the last 48 hrs that my eyes are raw. Whenever I describe Thomas to someone I use one word "good" and I will miss that "good" little boy.
Aubrey, Thomas' girlfriend, and I participated in some retail therapy after the airport scene. We went to DSW and bought some fine pairs of shoes and had lunch together. Aubrey, I am here for you anytime you need to talk. I love you like a sister.

Studying

I take my Step 2 Board exams in the next couple of weeks, so currently I am studying, studying, and studying some more. Oh the fun I have!! Thanks to the support of my Best Friend Anne - who is also taking the test at the same time - and my Wonderful Husband, I have not had too many episodes of frantic despair.

MEXICO OR BUST

I will be up all night studying for my first exam as a 4th year and also attempting to complete my packing. Thank goodness I have an eight hour drive tomorrow - I will be sleeping!

My 100 List # 5 and # 6

5. My brothers tease me that I am Monk, because I am meticulous, obsessive, at times compulsive - I carry Wet Wipes in my purse and I do not have children!!

6. If people think that I have OCD, they have not met Daniel. Honestly, I do not feel that our children have a chance in hell to ever be normal. Maybe it would be better if we did not procreate - just kidding Mom!
