nose to the grindstone.

Christian over Christmas break. The fun never ends.

Have I mentioned lately that I love my husband and am SO incredibly proud of his hard work? Have I also mentioned how I hope his med school study habits (both of us were naughty undergrad-ers) rub off on me for grad school?

He's been doing a ton of study the past few weeks as he's gearing up for a big exam and I realized that we're almost done with our [his] first year of medical school! Holy crap. Was it not five minutes ago we were moving up here in the face-melting month of July (115 degrees the day we moved in) as fiancé and fiancée? Now we've been up here for eight months, we took care of that husband and wife situation, and Chris has successfully navigated his way though the first year of medical school (a few months to go). He has done so well and I am SO proud of him. We've had some fun and as the year has progressed, I've realized that our choice of Phoenix campus was the right one. [Don't worry Tucson, we still love you best.]

Vies lounging at the Allen's this past weekend.

In other news, Viesa is lazy and so am I. For Viesa this is not so much of a problem. I'm doing my best to get out of this funk (half family grieving, half feeling torn about grad school/not having a solid plan about it). I think I need to stay focused on what I'm doing right now, which is all this ICU business. ::sigh:: We'll figure it out.

Because Chris has been working so hard (and despite the fact that I feel so lazy) I think we're going to treat ourselves to a midnight showing of Paul tonight. He's studying like a maniac right now so we can squeeze it in.

Love you guys,
Ash + Chris + Viessey

PS: For those of you who are counting, tomorrow we have been married for a whopping 3 months. Can you even believe it? Much more exciting than that, however, is on April 11th (our 'original' anniversary) we will be at six years. Now that's nutty. :)
