It's Fall, already?

My blogging is wayyy over due. I can't believe it's almost November! So much has happend over the last several months. This summer was short and busy. I was involved in several activities with the kids like music class, gymnastics, Nature and Science Museums, etc. We had a great time overall. Dylan was on a softball team with some old teammates through the end of the summer and had a great time playing.

In the beginning of fall, my great aunt Pat passed away. She was like a mom to my Dad. We were so close to her and her husband Uncle Eddie baby (passed away a couple of years ago). Me, my mom, and sisters all loaded up and drove to Tennessee for the funeral and family time. It was one of the best weekends of my life. We loved our Ninnie, my Dad's mom (passed away roughly 19 years ago) , and we got to spend the whole weekend hearing stories from her sisters. There are still two alive, Aunt Wilma and Aunt Margaret. When we saw Margaret we cried so hard. She looks just like our Ninnie. It was incredible to hear the history of our family and to see their old stomping grounds. I am fascinated by history and how people lived 100 years ago! Life was simple then, that's for sure.

Dylan and I have talked a lot about our future lately. We both want to finish our degrees, it has just taken us longer than we thought. I want to teach and Dylan has talked about Medical School! We talked, prayed, talked, prayed and are pursuing it! He has researched schools in Texas and reads anything he can find pertaining to M.S. I have been reading "Med School Wives blogs" just to get some insight on what to expect from a husband in M.S./residency, timing for children, etc. I love them! Dylan and I sat down and we watched our first cadaver video from UofM. I didn't think I would be able to see it, as I have passed out from the sight of blood, but I did!! It wasn't bloody and didn't even look like a body. Weird! I am really excited for him and believe in him!! He is so smart and intelligent, I know he'll be a great Doctor! He has an interest in Orthopedic Surgery! We'll see as he makes his way through it!

I have laundry to fold before I leave work...must get it done. I will update more soon! Hugs!
