Hey!
Went and bought my first pairs of scrubs and picked up my white coat today. It's really strange to be actually starting this journey. It's nice to have Honey here to help me on my way. It will be more difficult to be away from home when she goes back to school, but it will help a lot that I will have classes to keep me focused. I don't know how the classes and everything are going to be. From the lives my roommates live I think it won't be too bad. They both have lots of time to hang out and relax so I am happy about that. Tomorrow I'm going to go get my ID card and see what the gym looks like. I will let you know how it all turns out. Give my love to the family.

Hey!
I'm sitting at home on the couch and thinking about the fact that I'm leaving for school in 2 weeks. I was just reading all of these threads on facebook from my future classmates and I was really relieved to see that they are getting as much information as I am. It would go a long way for the school to simply tell us what the schedule is and when I'm supposed to register for classes. It seems like a lot of us are traveling from far away, you'd think the school would want to smooth the transition as much as possible. It is exciting though. I am looking into changing my license because it's going to be a pain to drive my car back up here once a year to get inspected. At the same time it's something ridiculous like $500 to get a license and registration down there. I am going to have to think about the pros and cons.
I am trying to figure out going to see Grandma and Poppa and Grandpa and Virginia before I leave. Next week is Dad's side of the family for celebrating the Fourth of July. Let me know if you are interested in going down to see Mom's side of the family before I leave. I am working Tuesday/Thursday this week and Tuesday/Wednesday the week after.
It's crazy that I leave so soon. I can't believe that today was my last day of full time at work. It's exactly one month until I get my white coat. Seems incredible that I will be tasked with actually learning and practicing medicine so soon. Wish me luck.
Love you.

Oh, Brother! A Morning Moon.
Oh, Brother!
A couple of Saturdays ago Abigail and I opened the blinds at around 6:30 a.m. to this:
I often tell her the story of how when you were young we would go outside and sing to thee moon every night before bed.
I see the moon and the moon sees me,
over the top of the apple tree,
please let the moon that shines on me,
shine on the ones I love
Love,
Sister

Oh, Brother! The Love!
Oh, Brother!
On Sunday night you stayed with Abigail for an hour and a half while Brad and I went to dinner.
I am so thankful for your loving care of Abigail and for your enthusiasm for spending time with her.
I hope that some day I will be able to reciprocate whether it is taking care of your baby/ies or dog/s.
It is so special to see you with Abigail. You are the "baby" of the family and I have never seen you with any babies of any kind, really. I have seen how much you have loved our animals in the past, but not babies. So, to see the love between you and my baby is sometimes overwhelming and always beyond wonderful.
She loves you back <3 Yesterday (after all I am writing this at 2:56 a.m on Tuesday) we were playing with some of the same toys you had played with the night before. I said "Uncle Timothy was the last one to play with these with you, huh?" and she smiled so big and started babbling.
So even though she might cry sometimes when I am away or, like Sunday night, have a few tears in her eyes when I return... I also take that as a sign that she is o.k., that I have left her with someone who she feels safe being vulnerable with. I notice that she has her arms around you, that she is not inconsolable, that she is easily soothed when I take her in my arms, but does not immediately reach her arms out to me... and I see the love.
Thank you!
Love,
Sister

Oh, Brother! Good Bye, Hostess!
Bankrupt!
No more Twinkies!
No more Ding Dongs!
No more SnoBalls!
I don't remember us having a lot of these things in our home as children, but I remember walking by them in the grocery aisle.
The article is here.

Sister

Oh, Brother! We are 6 years apart.
Oh, Brother!
Today I took Abigail to play group. Oliver's nanny (early 20's) was talking about how she is 7 years younger than her sister. She said that when she was little her sister was more like a mom, but now she is more like a friend.
I feel like the same is true of you and I.
How do you feel?
Do you think things are better now that we are older?
Love,
Sister

Oh, Brother! She loves basketball!
Today Abigail started "shooting hoops" with the Little Tikes Little Champs Sports Center that she got for Christmas.
She shoots a mean layup when laying on her belly, but she really loves to stand up and dunk. Every time the she puts the ball through the hoop she turns around and grins hugely at me.
I told her you would be so proud and would teach her all your moves when she gets older. I told her to keep practicing so that she has some moves to teach you, too.
Love,
Sister
