Now back to our irregularly scheduled program:
So good news upfront, I passed my surgery make-up exam! Well not by a whole lot but what the hell, I’ll take it!

Moved my boards to the 20th of the month. With the ear infection, I had quite the set back and I needed a whole week extra. The practice questions are still not great but I do feel like I understand what I’m doing wrong for the most part.

My titleless relationship with Coach is ever so wonderful. I have spent the past couple of weekends with him and I even get a chance to study for a big part of the day. Matter of fact, he wasn’t feeling well a couple nights ago and I stayed with him for comfort. I was in the living room studying while he slept and he thought I had gone home. It actually felt good to hear him say that he was a bit saddened by the idea that I had gone home. He might actually miss me while I’m gone this summer. I’m becoming pretty attached to him as I think he is to me. Interestingly enough, we’re both the non-mushy type so right now our most affectionate phrase is “Thank you”. It’s amazing how much we take that phrase for granted. Sometimes I have to stop and tell him “Thank you for being you” and he says the same thing back to me. You have to acknowledge how much you appreciate the people in your life. He’s a great listener and a wonderful friend. We get along pretty swimmingly. The interesting thing is that people at the park where he coaches Litt.le Le.ag.ue are starting to associate us with one another. He even says that the kids on the team know who I am. I don’t come out there for show but rather because I think that what he’s doing is fabulous and he coaches the cutest kids on earth. His co-coach thinks it’s wonderful that I’m so supportive (and wishes his girlfriend was the same way). I had the full support of my family in everything I’ve been involved in and I am the same way for people I care about. It’s not about being seen, it’s about letting the important people in your life know that they matter. Ok wait, did I say he was important? This thing is getting WAY out of hand.

Choir rehearsals are going well, I really enjoy singing in the Women’s Chorus. I found out this week that I can either sing 1st Alto or 2nd Soprano. I prefer alto but I am open to going over to the soprano side of the house. We have a weekly voice class at church and I’m hoping to be able to take it (well at least once I’m settled back in Chicago post-travels).

Anywhoo, tis my update on life… back to the books.
