Well, it has been a while since star and i have made a post here on the good ol' blog spot and we thought it would be a good idea to update everyone on how we are doing. Star has started school (Monday), which she was not to happy about but is getting into the swing of things again after the long break. She got her intern set up for the summer with WalGreens where she is going to work for 6 weeks for FREE!!! YES she is so excited about it (well kinda not but who likes to work for free right :)
I started school on Wednesday, and think this is going to be a really good semester. I am craming to get my application done up to the Echo program up to Weber State which is due on Saturday so cross your fingers for me. I am taking classes that are from professors that star and i have both had before so it is a joyful experience for both of us.
Our Christmas was AMAZING!!! we spent alot of time with both of our families which we enjoyed very much; with the Christmas party up at Tom and Julies which Cassidy did a great job with. We also had a great time over at my parents house on Christmas Eve, sucky part is that we both got sick and slept most of the day on Christmas, and then had to battle it the rest of the break. All in all though the break was amazing, but we are both bummed that it is over, yet excited for the next semester of school. We wish that all is well with everyone, and know that we love you all very much.

P.S Grats on the win Utah (SHOT OUT FOR TOM)

A needed break starts for me as mike prepares for fearful finals
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

sick and tired
wow sorry we kind of fell off the face of the earth there...I would like to place the blame on school. It feels like that is all we do now...study, study oh and than more studying. I crave weekends for the sleep and time i get to spend with mike but wish they lasted much longer.
Oh happy news...I got my first 100 on friday on my test over biochem and genetics. YAY! I attribute it to the greatest husband that exists...he stayed up till 3 am with me on thursday going over flash cards and than had to work at 7 on friday. I kept telling him to go to bed but he just wanted to help. Man I love him but also worry for him. He has been sick for the last 2 weeks with this cold and can not seem to kick it and staying up all night and not sleeping doesnt help.
And than the weekend was here and we always want to make the most of it, so friday night we went to tom and julies to play rock band 2 (it was so super fun and mike is getting so good at playing the guitar) but ended up staying up till like 2 and crashing at their place. We slept in and came home and took like a 4 hr nap but that kind of back fired because we were not really tired till like 2 again and mike had to work at 7. We are both sick now and I feel our bodies are in a full fledged war with us over our silly stay up all night actions. I got to sleep in today and I dont have school tomorrow so mike is getting the brunt of most of this. So the plan...when he gets home in 1 hr i will have soup ready for him and then let him crash for the night. Poor mikee.
I can not wait for the one day when we can actually live normal lives and see the people we love more.
Love you guys!
