***I'm determined to catch up on cataloging our family's events this year. Be ready for outdated posts galore!

Slacker!!

thats me! for some reason i just put off blogging and by the time i read everyone else's updates i don't feel like taking the time to write my own. lazy, i know. so here is a quick update. bear with me, our life is going to get crazy!

dan spent last week in crosslake, minnesota as a counselor at camp discovery. it is for kids with severe skin problems - they have to be referred by a doctor to be able to go. dan loved it! but now he is studying his little heart out for the second step of the medical licensing exam which he takes aug 1st. basically this test can determine what kind of medicine dan will spend the rest of his life practicing. but he is working SO hard to be prepared and i know he will do well.

the day after his test he leaves AZ for the next THREE MONTHS!!! yes, three months. that is a post for another day. it's for school, and it's going to be hard, but we will make it through! at least that's what i keep telling myself. so in the meantime, madison and i are getting plenty of time together while we try to stay out of the way and let dan focus. but we are enjoying every second of every minute that he's not studying.

part of this 'enjoying every minute' resulted in a date night for dan and i, last friday after he flew in from minnesota. these happen very rarely and i really think that was the first movie dan and i have seen together, on a date, in the last 3 years. it was so fun! now i know why a weekly date night is a must, regardless of what activity it is! too bad i am realizing this right before dan leaves!!

so this is our life currently and unless something super exciting happens we might be keeping a low profile so we can enjoy our time as a family!

I know we are kind of far, but any time you need a break, I would love to match Madison. If you need some pals to hang with, we are always looking for something fun to do too!
