Wow. A lot has happened over the past few weeks. As I transitioned from what is supposedly my second hardest trimester of the program to the first, I was graciously given one whole week off. So we fled the fast-paced Southern California lifestyle and went to Texas to see my family. We had a blast doing a lot of things we only get to do there. Tracy not only caught her first fish (followed by

Well, Jace told me he wasn't going to add anything new to our blog until I write a post, which as you can see has taken me over 3 months to do. Well, since our last post (or Jace's, I should say) we are official home owners! Scary, I know. We "took occupancy" on June 13th, Friday the 13th to be specific, and got to work right away...and we haven't stopped since. We moved into the madness on June

With the falling prices of housing over the last few years, Tracy and I began to think and pray about potentially buying property. With the way prices have been over the past few years of our marriage, we came to the point of contentment with renting indefinitely. As the prices have fallen, we began to realize that we actually might be able to purchase something after all. We recognized that

Well many of you have pointed out that we need to update our blog. Yes, we very much do! I was trying to post at least once a month, but school got a bit crazy and I haven't been able to get it done. With my duties as an officer for my class, leading a community group, being on the sight and sound team at church, staying on top of my studies and going to class, I got a bit pushed to my limit.

I'm sitting here trying to stay focused on the pile of books nearby, thinking to myself that I'll never get it. There's so much to learn and so little time. My vacation flew by so fast and I'm already flying through this trimester. At the end of this one, I will begin my first clinical. It will only be 3 weeks long (a teaser) but will give us a chance to give the things we have learned some

Finals are finally over and Christmas is almost here! Man, this year has flown by. Finals lasted a couple of weeks sporadically with the final week consisting of the final 6 tests. I did well, overall (thank the Lord) and could not be happier to be done. The picture I attached was edited by my sister for one of my presentations on a patient who had suffered a CVA (stroke). The picture is

It’s November 8th with only two weeks till Thanksgiving – and yet all around me I’m already seeing (and sometimes hearing) Christmas. Where has 2007 gone? I saw my first Red Cup from Starbucks today and couldn’t help but smile, knowing that for the first time in over five years that I will not have to endure the retail torture of the holidays. With 2007 nearly gone, I can’t help but get

It's been interesting lately. Time is flying, the weather is cooling, and life is moving along at a rapid pace. Tracy and I have been going through some interesting transitions lately as I entered school full time and have quit working. Living in Southern California on one income after living on two can take some careful planning and some adjustment to your regular budgeting habits. We have

Most of our friends and family know that Jace stopped working back in August of this year. God has helped us to save enough money to supplement my income while he's in school. Recent circumstances have threatened the stability of my income. Normally, my first reaction would be to panic or to be upset with the people who are making the decisions that effect my pay. However, God has been

Before I started my program, Tracy and I wanted a chance to get away and relax some before all the changes we were going to experience. Knowing how difficult of a transition it would be from going Starbucks to my DPT program, I was really hoping to get a chance to prepare mentally and emotionally before I started. We were hoping for some time off, but God provided us the financial means to spend

Life is busy...we live far apart...so many people to keep up on. There are a lot of reasons why we wanted to create this blog. Originally we thought of making our own website, but to be honest, we probably don't have the cyber-smarts to do that and, of course, this is free. Our main purpose in creating a blog is that we want to be able to share what's going on in our lives, through pictures,
