Catching Up

It's been a busy couple of weeks! So here's summary of what's been happening.

Last week was pretty much the same as the week before, what with all the studying for anatomy and tests and quizzes. On Thursday I skipped my humanities class to go to Laura's bridal shower. It was such a beautiful bridal shower and the ice cream bar and hot chocolate were delicious! On Friday AnnaMarie and Tyler, the kids, and Christy flew in! We went out to eat with them and then hung out at our apartment for a while. James and Miranda and Benjamin came, too. It was a nice evening. Saturday was Nate and Laura's wedding. We went to their sealing in the morning, and were going to take our anatomy midterm, but didn't get back in time. We went to the park to see AnnaMarie and Tyler for a while before they left for Aspen Grove. That night we went to the wedding reception, which was awesome! It was outside in a field with a bunch of pear trees at a reception place. The decorations were so cute and the food was awesome! They even had some dancing, so we danced like half a song. Spencer felt bad leaving Christy by herself, but he doesn't really like dancing, either... It was beautiful and we are so happy for Nate and Laura. They're so cute together and now we have another married couple to hang out with!! Wahoo!

Sunday was Jack's and Aiden's baby blessings up in Aspen Grove. It's really nice up there. I really think that it should be something we consider for the Thornock family vacation that there's been talk about in a couple years. The blessings were sweet and I'm glad we were there for them. Church was outside, which was kinda fun. Except it was hot, and it's harder to pay attention when you're outside. We stayed there for lunch and some cake with all the Ferrells and came back down to Provo. I love Sundays. I finished almost all of the baby quilt. All I have left is the hand stitching for the binding. :-) It'll be done in a few weeks. 

This week we are happy to have Christy staying with us for tennis camp! She's been fun, even though we haven't really been. Yesterday we finally took that Anatomy midterm. It went alright. Today we have an anatomy quiz, and on Thursday we have the big lab midterm for anatomy. There's so much to review for it. Christy's really great about us dropping her off at home and going back to campus to study for two or three more hours. We sure love her!

I've come to a decision about my major. I'm going to change to biology science education. If I really push it I can fit all of my classes into the next three semesters and do my student teaching winter of 2014. OR... (I really like this idea) I can spread them across 4 semesters and do my student teaching spring and summer right before medical school starts.... in China! :-) I'm going to talk to an adviser about that to get some more details, but I think it would be awesome. I guess for half of the time you teach your subject (biology for me) at an international school in English, then for the last half you teach English. You get paid for the last half and BYU covers your housing (you pay a little if you bring a spouse) and most of your food.  It sounds like a great experience. Anyway, I'm excited about this major change. Physical therapy will still be an option to me if I want to go that route, but the more I think about it, the more I think I'll enjoy teaching.

That's about it for now. I have pictures on my camera that I'll get around to uploading someday. Maybe.
