Good news!

So there has been so much good news recently! I passed my American Heritage course with a B, way better than the last grade! And so now I officially am still in semi-good standings with BYU and can still take courses there, but that may have to wait until Jan 2011.

More good news, Kyle is almost done with his course work, and he has passed every test so far! (good news for his future patients) He has 4 tests left, and since you have to fail 6 tests to be booted out of the program, we are here for good. He starts his rotations the middle of September, and the first one is OB/GYN which is great because it ends 3 days before my due date. Although he'll be in Hartford, CT all day every day until then, we'll just pray I don't go early, and if I do it will be a short labor. (he can only miss like one or two days of rotations)

And finally this is good news to me, Kyle will be at Yale New Haven Hospital for most of his rotations. I'm sure he wanted to go abroad and go to surrounding city hospitals, but this will be good with him being so close with a new baby and all.

We just love good news.

Finally!

So after 15 months of sorta working on my class, I finally finished all the course work at 11:00 last night! I am so happy that I actually accomplished something! So happy in fact I think an accounting class keeps calling my name..we'll see how things go after Baby arrives. But although we haven't posted in what seems like forever, we have been doing our fair share of things!

We have been going garage (or tag) sale-ing. Although even on craigslist they call them garage or yard sales, people here seem to think that they are "tag-sales". The joys of learning a "new" language. When we went, we made out like bandits! We got a changing table/dresser combo, glider with ottoman, bouncer, tons of books, pack-n-play, tons of toys, a johnny jumper, play mat, baby food processor, and more things that we can't even think of. We made out with everything for less than $200 bucks and there are only a few more things on our list that we still want to get. We also were driving around last weekend and here when people want to get rid of things, they put them right on the side of the road, so we found this wicked sweet activity center that just need a lot of disinfecting and washing, and it will be brand new! We love getting great deals.

Chole and her Fourth of July pride!

We also had an awesome fourth of July. We went to a breakfast that our ward put on, and got tons of free food;). Then we came home and crashed for a few hours just in time for a bbq at one of Kyle's classmate's house. Then after that we went to the fireworks that they set off from a barge in the ocean bay...it was beautiful! Although we couldn't see the water because the whole section by the water was blocked off for the Mayor and his party...We had a fun time with a couple from our ward and Kyle's study partner and his little family.

We also went yesterday to 'field day' with Kyle's classmates. This is where they all get together and play games like egg toss, kick ball, and relay races. I was just sitting having fun eating (some) of the 2 6ft deli sandwiches that they provided for lunch. As I showed up, the class president was kind enough to show me the way to the table, because he wanted me to get enough to eat...like i need to get bigger?!

This is me at 24 weeks...

And now me today...26 weeks.
