Public Enemies
I fully plan on taking in some of the cinematic goodness that is Johnny Depp and Christan Bale this weekend. Does it get any better? Bank robber vs. Good guy. Yum.

Last First Day
OK, if you know me at all, you know I like to be a little over dramatic about "lasts" and "firsts". It is kind of a tradition. I always go around saying things like, "This is the last first day of a semester in college", "This is the last March 3rd I will ever be in the caf in college", "This is the last time I will sleep in my bed as an unmarried gal" so on and so forth. Believe me, it drives Kody nuts. He loves me for my weirdness. Well, today I celebrate another last/first! Today is Kody's last first day of a year in medical school. Today he is technically a FOURTH YEAR MEDICAL STUDENT! WOOHOO
It isn't like he has had a break lately so it seems weird saying today is a first day of anything, but technically it is. Today is the first day of residency for new interns, today is the first day of roations for third year students today all of Kody's class can rejoice that they are officially MS4's. Congratulations to all of you!
10 1/2 months until graduation!
In other news, today officially kicks off my birthday month. Yup, a whole month of celebration. No, I do not just recognize my day of birth, but the entire month.

Welcome Home!
Tomorrow Kody will return to Tulsa full time for a full month! I know, exciting isn't it? I'm actually going to see my husband every evening. I can't believe it has been two months that he has been gone. Sure, I saw him on weekends, but it isn't the same. Neither one of us are big "phone" people, so that was a challenge. Thankfully we are still hopelessly in love. :) Hopefully the last two months have been good preparation for his time in Michigan and Ohio during August and September. I'm going to miss him so much. So is Bailey. That dog loves her daddy.
During July Kody is taking a vacation monthly, but it will be anything but a vacation. July is board study month. He is going to be just as busy as he has been during other rotations. He takes Step 2 boards on August 11th. Everything is approaching so fast. So many deadlines, so many last chances. Our future is so unclear right now, but we are both very confident that it will all work out as it should just like it always does. Kody is also getting his CrossFit Level 1 certification in July. Very exciting!
In other news, Honey the dog (Kody's family dog) is staying with us this week while his family is on vacation. She is as cute as can be and so easy to have at the house. She sleeps through the night unlike a certain other dog that lives in our home that loves to jump on me endlessly while I sleep because she wants to chase a rabbit. Yes Bailey, I'm talking about you.
I was attacked by mosquitoes in Edmond this weekend. Yesterday I came to work covered in calamine lotion. The pink tint my skin had was just gorgeous. I am also starting to read "My Sister's Keeper". Has anyone read that? I have always heard it was good and now that there is a movie I thought I would go for it. Bandwagon! I also saw the New Moon trailer on Sunday before Transformers. Kody just kind of glared at me with annoyance as I giggled through the entire two minutes. Whatever...he will fall under the Twilight spell soon enough.

Time For Yourself
A fellow blogger recently posted a great article on her website. We are both members of a group of bloggers who are married to medical students, interns and residents. It is our own little secret society where we share our experiences as we cheer our spouses through school and training.
Read This
This article applies not only to those going through medical training, but I think anyone going through life in general. Take a few moments to read it today. I know I have a tendency to get caught up in things I "have" to do and I have trouble making time for myself. I know Kody will experience that more and more as he gets further into his training. He is someone that loves life and loves to have fun. I pray that is something he never loses no matter how demanding his schedule becomes.
Last Twilight Update:
I watched the movie last night. I have to say I was a bit disappointed with Kristen Stewart as Bella. Don't get me wrong, I like the girl, but she was just a little too "hard" for me. I pictured Bella as shy and a bit unsure of herself, but also kind and hopeful. I didn't get that from Kristen. I think I would have been an AMAZING Bella. Don't you? Oh well. I still enjoyed it and I am looking forward to New Moon.

RIP
I thought it was over...but it isn't....MIDNIGHT SUN! Score.
On another topic, this weekend there was a baby mouse running around my parent's living room. Midori was very intrigued by the baby mouse. Bailey was only somewhat amused. Rookie, the cat, had absolutely zero interest. Doesn't that seem backwards? Granted, Rookie is sixteen years old, but he still kicks it like a five year old. He is quick on his feet and is as feline as any other fur ball you meet. We tried to get the baby mouse to run outside, but he was slightly terrified of the monstrous beasts and didn't want to leave the safety under the couch. We lost track of the mouse somehow. Reluctantly, I told my parents the next day. My dad said he had seen one a few days earlier. The house gets mice sometimes in the winter, but not usually in the summer so my mom didn't really believe him. HA! Anyway, they set out traps last night and this morning I was told that "multiple" mice were caught. I think it was a little family. I am sure the cute baby mouse escaped. He was quite quick! It didn't run...it hopped. Too cute. No one likes a mouse in their house, unless it is a cute baby mouse! I asked my mom to please not let me see any of the traps or give me details. It would be to painful to know too much about our destruction of the little mouse family. I asked her if it was a humane death and she said yes. Thank goodness. Now they are in mouse heaven where they will never have to fears cats, dogs or traps again. RIP.
