In celebration of this milestone, we decided to go on a trip together. Since it will likely be our last trip before having kids we decided to make it a really exciting one by going somewhere neither of us has been before. We ended up finding a great flight and hotel deal on Priceline for 5 days/4 nights in San Juan, Puerto Rico!! This is especially exciting for me because I studied Spanish for 9 years and I have yet to visit a place where the chief language is Spanish. Puerto Rico was also a great option because my passport still has my maiden name on it (P.R. is a U.S. territory, so you don't need a passport to fly there). I just can't wait to chill on the beach with my hubby, drinking a pina colada and celebrating the end of the first chapter of Dental School.
I seriously can hardly wait!!! This gorgeous picture is originally from http://my.lulac.org/group/604 |
A generous person will be enriched, and the one who gives a drink of water will receive water. -Proverbs 11:25What a great year! I wouldn't trade the lessons we've learned for anything in the world! It has been challenging and rough at times, but God has used the difficulty in amazing ways. I can't wait to see what next year brings!
Do not despise the Lord's instruction, my son, and do not loathe His discipline; for the Lord disciplines the one He loves, just as a father, the son he delights in. -Proverbs 3:11-12
just found your blog!! I am starting Dental School in less than a month. I wonder if you can give me any tips on how to prepare my husband. I also will be attending CU! maybe I'll meet your husband :)
ReplyDeleteFarah, thanks for the comment and congratulations on starting Dental School soon! I'm sure you will see Robbie around campus, especially if you go to the lab on the weekends at all in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI guess I would tell your husband that you will be pretty busy but if you guys can make time to go on a fun date together once a week, it can make a big difference. Also, I really enjoyed visiting Robbie in the lab or just hanging out with him at the school while he was studying. Robbie said it made studying feel like less of a chore. If you feel like you would like the company and if he has time, maybe occasionally ask your husband to bring something to read and just hang out with you while you study or the two of you could go to Starbucks while you study or something. Lastly, I would tell your husband to take pictures of things you're working on in school so you have a way to remember how far you've come and all the things you've learned.
Hope that helps!
Thank you!
