I just finished what has become my daily morning routine of watching Queer Eye and working out on my Elliptical! I've been feeling so great about working out lots and getting back into a shape other than round from Christmas time hehe But I do love good food and so I have to counteract that with quality work out time too :)
I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'm really getting bored of all this time off! I think the main problem is not enjoying it because I worry about the year that is to come in only 2 more short weeks. So, instead of procrastinating, I have started some review of anatomy as our first course we take is Local Anesthetic Anatomy! I can't wait, I think it is the last week in Feb where we get to inject each other. I've never even had a dental needle before and now I have to give one and receive one all in the same day. I know, I'm sick. But it is to say that is has taken 5 long years to finally arrive at what I have been wanting to do and it feels like it's paying off. We've been warned that 2nd year is the toughest and I believe it as we have exams one after another, qualifying us for this and that throughout the year so that we can see patients full time in 3rd year. I can't wait!
I have also been manning this ship solo for the past few days as Rick is up in Newcastle, about a 3 hour train ride, to help out with a big project up there. He tells me he's been installing pipes in a new Chemistry lab. I always find it ironic that he is in the institutions before me and then I come in to use the equipment he's installed. Be it hospitals or universities. What a team :)
I will leave the adentures that have been Rick's trip for him to share...it's worth the wait, trust me...
The greatest news came the other day, as most already know, when I received a call from our immigration officer casually stating that he was just about to GRANT OUR VISA and just had a few more questions and clarifications. I was like excuse me, grant as in ACCEPT or APPROVE!! Evidently he did not share in the moment with me and wondered what was wrong lol Anywho, Rick and I both are now legally allowed to remain in Aussie, with unlimited re-entries for travel, until April 28, 2010!! wow! This has been weighing on our hearts and minds for some time now and it still feels like I should be worrying about something; I think it's called the human condition.
Although this limits Rick to 20 hours per week of work, he has already been improvising on ways around this ;) I'm just so happy that we get to stay in the same country together :)) I'm one tough cookie, but my life is fullest when we are together.
I hope this finds you in good health and great happiness,
God bless you

WOW!!! That is such great news about your visa's. I had such a rush when I read that, and it wasn't a Hot Flash, lol. That is terrific that you guys can live together in Aussie Land, and enjoy your lives together. I am so happy and can stop worrying. Jen, you are such a great gal and I am so happy my Son found a true soul mate and I want only the best for you two. I am so proud of you both. Enjoy your classes and the needle, yuck, lol. When I had my dental surgery it took about 6 needles to get me frozen enough for the dental specialist to work on my mouth. Oh yea, he saved my tooth, but now I have stitches that will eventually disappear, but I am so relieved it went well. Well, its 10:00 pm and I think I will crawl into the sack now, am so dang tired, so until later, love ya and take care.
yay for the accepted visas!!! about time that headache is over! i admire ya Jen. . . all that patience.
thanks for putting the countdown up. . . this will be the longest three months ever!!!!!!

Hey, hooray for the Visas, that's so great. It was great to see you over the holidays, short as it was. It was so good to see your faces-and hear your voices-although I'm glad you blog so we can keep up with you.
