Mid-Week Update

Just checking in with everyone. The studying is going! I'm looking forward to a week from today, which is my three-day MBE class. Then, on Saturday, Kyle and I are flying to Arizona for a week with Grammy and Grampy. Kyle is looking forward to getting spoiled by his grandparents, and I am looking forward to a week off work to focus on studying. Trying to study while Kyle sleeps plus work 8-9 hours a day plus take care of Kyle and the house on my own is leaving me stretched a little thin.

In fact, I have taken the liberty of writing a list of things I'm looking forward to doing when this whole exam is over and done with. I am sure that this list will grow, but here is what I have so far:

1. Work on Kyle's baby book
2. Figure out Cricut machine that Jeff got me for Christmas that I haven't even had time to take out of the box yet.
3. Get a pedicure while reading a magazine or book solely for fun.
4. Sleep in until 6 am on a weekday morning.
5. De-junk my entire house.
6. Get a massage at Aquae Solis at the J.W. Marriott Spa.
7. Talk to Jeff for more than 30 minutes a day.
8. Put all my bar books in a giant box in the attic.
9. Read a novel for fun.
10. Go shopping for suits and clothes for work at Macy's -- all my suits are too big now!

Also, I met my running goal of 3.1 miles in less than 30 minutes -- 29:48, to be exact. I know that this isn't too impressive for serious runners, but it is for me -- two months ago, at the beginning of December, I could barely run 1.5 miles without stopping. Now I'm going to work on increasing my distance and speed.

Have a great week, everyone!

Oh, and we are ready to spoil! I'm sure that he'll decide that we are really pushovers (especially Grampy).

I don't think the words "sleep in" and "6 a.m." should be used in the same sentence!

You're doing so well with everything and I think the world of you!
