Christmas Break

Tonight official kicks off Christmas break for Ty. He will have taken 8 tests in 5 days. Crazy!
3 weeks of having Ty around all the time!!!! I am unbelievably excited! We will be celebrating the end of this semester with the Holiday Ball aka Med School Prom. Any excuse to dress up!
I am so proud of him. He is extremely dedicated and passionate about medicine. And he did amazing in all of his classes!!!
This is Ty post finals this past Spring.


He's looking a little scruffy! His poor eyes were so small from a lack of sleep. It also doesn't help that he hates the flash.
Last year at this time almost the whole city had lost power. We had the worst ice storm ever. The medical school lost power and the students were in a tizzy. It was Ty's 1st ever medical school finals. We have a huge open area that is almost all floor to ceiling windows. All the students had to take their first test of the week in this open area. It was the only place with enough light. Ty had to take his by the front doors. He said it was freezing. After the first day of tests they moved all the tests to a nearby campus that was lucky enough to have power. We didn't have power at our house, but luckily my aunt and uncle did. Even though their neighbors across the street didn't! We were without power at our house for 5 days. I'm still so thankful that my aunt and uncle only live 20 minutes away! We stayed there the whole time. I'm pretty sure that I have told this story before, but it was such a big deal in this area. We still have trees along the interstate with branches broken and hanging off of them. Our time during the icestorm was only made worse because of finals week. But all the students survived and we will still be talking about this when when we are old and gray.
Our campus lost all of our trees. They were so broken that they all had to be cut completely down. These two pictures were taken during the ice storm. (but they aren't of our campus.)

  7. that ice storm looks terrible! last year we were caught in the middle of one, I had just had braeden, and we didn't have power for 5 days either!! So we stayed in a little office building the size of a small bedroom with me, the hubs, braeden, and our two dogs ... awful!!

  18. your wonderful aunt and uncle that let you stay with them during the ice storm wonder how you are since since they haven't heard from you in so long. You haven't even replied on Facebook! LOL! Hopefully we'll see you soon, and not because of an ice storm!
