I feel like nothing incredible is going on in our lives,

just a LOT of really little things.

med school seems to get a titch busier every week.

how does that work?

and when I say busier, I mean harder.

I don't know how it snuck up on me like this. I new med school was going to be hard and that I would be husband-less A LOT,
I just never imagined it being quite this lonely.
That is the hard part for me. It's really been an adjustment going for so long without hardly seeing or talking to anyone (and our darn phones got messed up so I have to wait to call people on the weekends.)
I just didn't really expected it to be this isolating.

That being said I am seriously so thrilled for mike. I love this little fount of knowledge that he is developing.
This is his dream and I love watching him live it.

and we have really been more blessed and helped than I could have ever imagined.

We are so grateful that tests are going well and honestly I never expected him to balance church, home, and school as well as he is. It's amazing.

Jack and I are just having to learn how to stay a little busier.
So jack is getting a lot of mom time...

which he may or may not appreciate:)

 And I am getting a lot of two year old chat time...

which I totally appreciate. 

I don't care if we have to talk about cars and trucks and mickey mouse all day. It's better than nothing!

here are a few of our goings on.

First of all, I have been doing a ton of photo shoots!!

jack and I took a road trip to Idaho for a few days back in September for Grandma Phyllis' birthday party.

that clever man I call husband put this up.
it says "heart u max" (i'm max)

it's been a few weeks and now it just says "U MA" 

I wonder if someone needed a drink?

jack and I were cooped so we made a race car track.
p.s. check out the sleepers (I think it's noon?) with the feet cut off, socks, and sandals. This kid refuses to wear anything other than this.

 a salt lake REAL game. He loved it.
