I am in school as i write this and I so relieved. My group had to get in front of the entire class today and do a presenation on Congestive Heart Failure and a drug treatment. Yeah it was SUPER fun! But gladly we went second and so now my stress is gone and the following 12 groups are just taking their turns. When I leave today I do not have to be back for 3 weeks!!!! HAPPY HAPPY DAY!! I so need the sleep and my body needs to become normalized again as far as stress and sleep go.
Mike is finally getting better!! We found out that he had bronchitis, but he got on some antibiotics and now is feeling much better. He studies all the time and is a little overwhelmed with finals just around the corner (1 mon, 2 tues and 1 thurday), but i know he will do amazing! I need to make sure not to push him to relax with me for one more week!
We love our christmas tree and pulled the spare bed out to the living room to sleep under the christmas lights, i know it sounds like we are 5, but we love it! We have slept there for most of last week.
Well I think that is a good update and I can already feel that I am crashing from too little sleep so I hope all of this makes sense! Love you guys so much and cant wait to see you all soon.

OK we have decided we need to write on this more, when you miss a month its getting bad. So lets see...Mike is still sick and coughing all the time, so he called in sick for work and we are going to the Dr to make sure its nothing bad. We also got him some more medicine so hopefully he will feel better soon.
I just had a week off of school for "Thanksgiving break" which was sweet for the sleep - I was awake for 53 hrs studying before that last test (hopefully that will not happen again cause my body hated me for some time). But I have passed every test so far so :) :) :), and I am out of bio chem and actually learning about drugs....bad part is I am learning them so fast that no one in the class could retain what they are learning, but they said its to get the basics down. We had thanksgiving at Mike's uncles (David) and it was really a lot of fun and amazing food and a little awkward for me but turned out great.
On Saturday we started a Christmas tradition and cut down our very first Christmas tree. We went with Tom and Julie and Q and had a great time playing in the snow and riding on the four wheeler. We absolutely love the tree and didn't need to cut that much off. but as you can see the lights don't go right to the top because we (me and mike) are not that tall, so we will figure that part out later.
Mike is pushing hard in school and has a final this week and a presentation and 2 tests...you can tell the semester is coming to an end. Crazy, but its just one day at a time and living at the library. Mike is still working at UVRMC and loves it and they love him, he worked the last 5 out of 6 days which i was pissy about because it was my weekend off, but got to do what you got to do.
Oh and i shadowed at the hospital pharmacy and LOVED it, I think that is where i want to end up, it was so much more comprehensive and you saw more than just a prescription, you saw the diagnosis and the rest of the treatment. I felt it was utilizing more knowledge and you were part of a large team working together for the patient. Amazing. (Oh and they had a robot!)
Well it will be a busy 2 weeks so we may not write but after that its Christmas break "YAHOO" and so we will write then. We love you all so much and wish we could see you all more....one day.
Happy Holidays
