Back to School

After a 3 year break from school Jake started up once again. Last week was his first week of medical school. Here he is heading out the door for orientation. Hannah and I left for California on his 1st day of classes, so this picture will have to do. Hannah of course wanted to get in on the picture taking.

Jake was very excited to take a picture

Of course Hannah wanted to get in the picture. Excuse the just-got-out-of-bed head.

And an adorable picture I took of Hannah. She is turning into a little girl!


The week of orientation there were picnic's in the evening for the medical student's and their families. We ate yummy barbecued food and met lot's of great people. Jake discovered that there are 4 other BYU graduates who are in his class. 2 of them are from Provo, 1 from BYU Hawaii, and the other from BYU Idaho. The 2 from Provo are also married and one of the couples has a 4 month old baby boy. It has been a lot of fun getting to know them and we are looking forward to becoming good friend's as we begin this long journey together.

At the first day of orientation the med student's went around and introduced themselves. The head of the program guy (Dr. Turner) mentioned that every year there is a baby born during the school year and they are referred to as the WWAMI Baby (WWAMI is the name of the program Jake is in for Med School). So when it was Jake's turn he stood up and one of the first thing's he said was "My wife and I will be having the WWAMI baby in February". Everyone laughed. From then on I have been known as the pregnant wife. When I came to the BBQ Dr. Turner came up to me and said that early February will be a great time for me to have the baby because there are no exam's until later that month. He also said that Jake can take a few day's off and have people take notes for him in class. I thought that was a very kind thing for Dr. Turner to say because of course I have been worried about Jake being there for me and this new baby. But he helped calm my fear's. Look's like there is nothing to worry about....right? :-)
