He's back baby!

So... as many of you blog-readers may know (especially those other student wives) this second year of school has been pretty intense. Derek has studied and worked so hard (and studied, and studied, and studied...)and it has all paid off. Thursday was his final "check out" where he did a full exam with a professor and passed of all these different procedures he's been learning in order to be able to go into the clinic. Wahoo he passed! The professor who watched him told him it was one of the best exams he's ever seen- awesome! I came home Thursday after visiting a friend to these beautiful flowers... he also bought Easton a special treat and book and the hugest bottle of bubbles that has ever been made. {We will be blowing a lot of bubbles this summer. I think we're set for life.} I thought it was super sweet and thoughtful of him to thank us for supporting him I could almost see a difference in him because of all the stress that was lifted. It is so good to have my husband back! We have a had a great last few days that have just made me so grateful for him. I am so, so thankful to have him back. and... aren't roses wonderful???

On Friday went to the Luau at the University (which I have been told is the largest and best on the mainland). It was a BEAUTIFUL day and we had a great time with our friends. We ate yummy food and watched an awesome show- but the best part was just being together and having a fun and new experience. I am hoping this makes Derek want to do one of his rotations in Hawaii... but he still thinks Alaska sounds more fun. Easton loved the fire dances (of course)- it was a great night!

Aloooohaaaaaaaaaa!!!! (Doesn't Derek look happier, less stressed and chilled??? It could be the Hawaiian shirt I guess...)
