Once again, it's been a while! The last couple of months have been pretty eventful actually. In March I got a week of spring break, but Ross' schedule is just crazy, so he was going to be at school the whole time I was off. I decided to head to Mesa to hang out for the week. I loved seeing the sun again, almost as much as hanging out w/ my family and friends. I have got to find a way to convince Ross that AZ is the happiest place on earth, and that we must move there as soon as possible. When I got back I started my new job teaching Anatomy at Columbus State Community College. Yep, I am professor Jill. It has been really fun so far. It is a little crazy doing both that and full time school of my own, but I am so excited to have a job that I get excited to go to. It wasn't so long ago that I was in high school working at a doctor's office scanning charts in a closet sized room where they stored the urine samples. Things have sure turned around in my favor! Ross is doing so great. He just finished the section of Med school that is supposed to be the hardest material covered, and is on spring break now. He is also working in a lab with a Neurosurgeon who removes brain tumors from humans and gives them to Ross to inject the tumor cells into rat brains. They hope to find a way to slow the growth process of the tumors. We were so excited to find out this week that he was awarded a grant to pay for his work in this lab all summer.
Last week I turned the big 25. Now, I loved the shoes that Ross got me, but I have to brag for a min. My birthday was on Saturday, the Ross' first day of spring break, aka the first day that he didn't have to study from sun up till sun down in several months. He knew I had been so frustrated with one of my classes at school because I couldn't understand anything and felt like a big dummy. He sat there and read my text book for a few hours and made me little study guide/ explanations to help me get it. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but it meant a ton to me. Thanks to him I might not fail Histology now :) He's the best!
Lately I have tried to be crafty, and made this little wall hanging and some calendars. I know that they are not Troba Mangum quality, but one day...
This is the surprise that I woke up to on Valentines- Gerber daisies are my favorite. Ross displayed his incredible art skills here too.
