We have been anticipating this day for quite sometime. Sam came home last night and will be here for just over 3 weeks! We couldn't be more thrilled. This semester has definitely been trying and difficult, but we made it! Sam and I are both relieved to have this semester behind us, for me to have 2 semesters left in this FNP program and for Sam to have his first semester of dental school in the books. He is doing great, really excelling in his classes. I feel that we would barely see him if we were there, he leaves for school around 6-7 am, gets home from school around 7-8, eats dinner and then studies till 11-12. Its amazing how much time and effort he is putting in and it makes me so proud because his grades are definitely reflecting all that hard work. We are so proud of him and grateful that he has gotten to this point in his life. I had no doubt that he would succeed and only see him continuing on. As for me, my first rotation this semester was in Geriatrics, which is defiantly NOT my forte. I love working in Women's health and peds, which will come next semester. But, I succeeded and made it through the clinical and didactic part of this program for geriatric care. I am excited for the next 2 semesters and then being done July 31st.
We surprised Bristol with tickets to Disney on Ice: Frozen and her and Sam were able to have a much needed daddy-daughter date. She was thrilled when they arrived inside and said the cutest thing to Sam. Sam asked her "Did you know we were going to see Frozen tonight?", she replied "Yes.", he said "How did you know that?", she replied "I have been dreaming about this!." That girl, she is just too much! She had a blast watching them skate on the ice and perform, she loved the princess dresses and Sam treated her to a snowcone with a special souvenir cup! (only cost us $16!) It was great, though and I really think it is a memory she will have forever. I still remember my experience going to see Beauty and the Beast on ice, getting a snowcone in a souvenir cup and using that cup whenever I had the chance.
