Summertime Blues


{a final swing of the club as the sun sets on our wedding eve}
Our summer has been the total opposite of "relaxing and fun". With Derek taking the Board I exam, choosing/applying to 4th year cores and externships, weekend courses on ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support), preparing for 3rd year rotations, and a semester of classes on top of it, we have been nothing short of busy! I also opted to have a busy summer, working 9-12 hour days and keeping to a strict exercise regimen that had me up at 5:45 some days, or still going hard around midnight. Thankfully, through all the stress, we have managed to stay healthy, happy, and sane. With our 1 year anniversary creeping up (this Sunday!) and an intense finals week starting the following day, we opted out of celebrating together this weekend and have two fun-filled, relaxing days set aside for the next before we jet off to Idaho for a week long vacation.
