a great book

So one of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to read. I haven't been able to read quite as frequently over the last two years since I was trying to read through school at the same time. I enjoyed the Twilight series among several others, but I am delighted to have a bit more spare time to read now that school is over. Currently I am reading Julie & Julia (pictured above)- which is the inspiration for the new movie coming out this Friday with Amy Adams and Meryl Streep. The book is fantastic so far!! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something to read...


Work is going well for both of us, but very busy! Spence is now in the ICU for the month and has a grueling schedule. After finishing a 32 hour shift today, he has been in bed ever since (the last 8.5 hours)- and I'm thinking he'll sleep through tomorrow- deservedly so. I am continuing to learn a great deal every day and wonder if I will ever be able to retain it all. Overall- it is exciting to both be doing what we've longed to do for a long time now... here's a look at Spencer in his uniform- he appears a bit tired!
