Med Schools, Izzy, and more
Definitely excited about the interviews, especially UW. You just amaze me sometimes - how do you manage to make a "new" friend at an "interview", and get an invite to stay with him (her?) Speaking of which - tell me more about MJ - how did you guys hook up for an apartment? (and the moving thing - LOL - just that the time frame was so tight with the wedding things going - not a relaxed pace. But then what would you do with us for more than a couple of hours anyway :)
And those little Izzy smiles - just be prepared to work for them. She might be feeling generous, or she might not, LOL. You will be amazed at how she's grown - right Morgan ? Morgan is such a natural mom, it suites her well.
And . . . the mommy thing - we both obviously saw her in a slightly different light (the poor lost soul). The interaction of all the characters was interesting. Wonder how he did his research. m-m-m-m. Maybe we should start a book club and discuss the finer points of the subject matter. Obviously I would be way behind you cuz I am a slow reader (but then your sch. can be very full, so we may be even). Anyway - if you have any suggestions for good reading, I need a book.
Have a great week. LOVE - the _ _ _ _ _ LOL

I Need to Remember...
So it would seem that us three may be the only ones who really do this consistantly, but with that said, I totally forgot about it for a week or two here. So I need to remember to keep writing.
It sounds like mostly good things from the rest of you. Morgan, I'm sorry you have to start back to the 40 hr/week routine. I would imagine that not being with Izzi all the time would be the hardest part. I need to get home soon so I can see her smile/laugh more, definitely haven't seen enough yet. Mom, what do you mean moving me in was a whirlwind? You helped pack up the truck. You make it sound like you did all the work lol. Last year you could definitely make that comment but I don't know about this year. And I'm glad you got through the book and liked it. I told you that some of the story was going to be a little different for you. Connie can certainly borrow it assuming I do get it back. You can be my enforcer if she holds on to it for too long.
On my end of things, I'm trying to figure out an appropriate balance between my jobs and my life. A couple weeks ago I was at about 80 hrs and then last week I was back to like 40. I need to be putting in 40 at the hospital but then figuring out how many shifts a week I want to work at Paisan's is difficult. Especially since I do not have many permanent shifts there so I end up taking other peoples' shifts. I usually have to do that weeks in advance so if I'm having a tough week and want a night off from Paisan's, sometimes I just can't b/c I had to take the shift when it was there earlier.
Life in the new apartment is really good. MJ and I get along very well and besides the plethora of spiders, I really like the place.
Med school stuff...almost nothing has changed since I last wrote on here except...UW offered me an interview today which although expected is very excited. So thus far I'm 3 for 5 on getting interviews at schools which is great. I think at this point last year I had had one interview and a bunch of no's. I didn't have a total of three interviews until middle of January last year so I'm way ahead of the game. My Wake Forest interview is next Friday, so that's coming up fast. I'm flying out there on Thursday, staying with a friend I made during my interview at St. Louis last year, and then coming back Saturday. UW interview is October 1st and Ohio State is the 27th of October. So I'm definitely excited for all of these. Hopefully I can just get accepted to Wake Forest to get the monkey off my back and then just keep it going from there.
I'll probably end up calling some of yous in the next few days. So keep an eye on your phones :-). Love you all.

We Are Family
Well, family, this is going well, isn't it :) Must be things I don't understand about blogs, I thought the whole family was in it - or only if they accepted invitation ? I got an invitation (in my regular mail) from some Jane chick. How did she get my e-mail ? Even Eric's came in through my junk mail list. I'm such a dinasaur :)
Camped this weekend - only because Jaime was able to grandma duty - (pudding, now that's a thought-just kidding) Was good to be out again. Looking forward to upcoming weekends as well.
Eric - finished your book. Almost put it down in the first couple chapters, but I stuck with it, because I really enjoyed the writing style. Very humorous. Just had to get use to the basic subject matter-interesting. I liked all the main characters, and the Mommy character. Some real insight in her insanity. Not the usual kind of ending I normally come across either. If you aren't in a hurry for it back, and you don't mind, Connie wants to borrow it. Won't go anywhere til I hear from you. LOVE-the mommy :)
