So Much Is Happening!! :)

I've been meaning to write a blog for awhile now and therefore have several topics in mind...

1. VACATION!! I recently spent a week in Hawaii for my parents 30th anniversary and happened to be there for my 24th birthday :) the best birthday present was being with my whole family under one roof (minus Andrew :( )

2. End of the School Year...Andrew was studying for finals during our family vacation and it paid off!! He did amazing his first year of med school getting straight As!! Although he is waiting to make sure he passed his standardized patient final...

3. It's almost like we've been on vacation without leaving home! :)

I've been lacking in work hours (not great for our budget but great for our lives) and Andrew has been done studying and I have been in Heaven actually getting to see him and hang out with him! :) 

This week on our vacation at home we had a lot of fun! Monday we went to Worlds of Fun with our friends. Tuesday and Wednesday were birthday days! :) Tuesday he spoiled me by doing everything I wanted to do...We went to the zoo and then cooled off at our pool and then he surprised me by taking me to the Melting Pot for dinner! I've been wanting to go there since we moved almost a year ago!

Wednesday was his day, but I didn't spoil him as much...we went and saw A Million Ways to Die in the West and then went and saw the Cardinals play the Royals and I got him a birthday cake to eat with our friends before the game. I did however pick the only win of the series for the Cardinals!

This week has made me extremely grateful for quality time!! I have so thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Andrew that I'm trying to not let anything get in the way! It's not often (or ever?) that we've had this much time together since he started school! Now his family is visiting and we are enjoying spending time with them and waiting to spend time with my family! 

I've realized over the past year I have to take the moments when I can get them! Treasure the time we have don't dwell on the time we don't have
