Well the dreaded day has finally come.... Darin took off for Michigan this morning. Now it is just the two of us! It was really hard saying goodbye to Darin, but we are so proud of him. Way to go on making it to your 4th and final year of medical school!!! Darin will be in Michigan and Pennsylvania until September. He will be doing rotations in ER. These rotations are important because one of them could be where he will do his residency. So we may be moving to the east next year. CRAZY!!! I can't believe we are already looking into residency! WAY TO GO DARIN!!! WE MADE IT! (yes it was a joint effort...hehe...he needed a sugar mama to make the money...why do you think he married me a week before he started med school!)Nash and I are hoping to go visit him in August, in his second Michigan rotation. However in the mean time we will be enjoying the California heat (over 100 degrees today!), and then we hope to take a trip to Utah in a couple of weeks to visit the family.
Tuesday, was a fun day, Nash and I took a trip to Mulberry Early Development Center where I had been teaching an autistic pre-school class. We were able to attend the graduation of the majority of my students. It was so fun to see my students faces when they saw me and I had a baby. Many of them didn't know what happened to me...they would poke my belly and then point to Nash and say "baby!" This was one of my favorite classes to teach! Each one of the students had unique personalities that made the class so much fun!! I will miss all the students and my 4 wonderful assistants! They were awesome and made going to work worth it!
Nash is growing so fast...when he was born he was 5 lbs 11 oz, after the graduation I took him to the New Beginnings Resource Center to see if I have been feeding him enough. The boy is now 7 lbs 10 oz!! The Nurse asked me if I was supplementing him with a bottle, because of the significant weight gain. I was proud to say NO! Nash is a lot like his mother, feeding time is serious business...we like our food! He is such a good baby, we feel so blessed to have him in our home.
We were able to take these pictures before Darin left on his trip today. Not the most flattering but it was fun anyway! Good luck Darin!!! We love and miss you!!!

As soon as I read your post, I asked James if he was going to have to do the same thing because I've never heard of that. He told me it depends on where you go to school and where you want to do your residency. I'm impressed that you can be without Darin for so long, but I'm glad that you're going to Blanding for a littl while. Say hello to your parents for me!
