Only THIRTEEN more days!!!!!!!!

We can do it right??? 

I was completely mistaken when I thought that this month before boards would be a little less crazy than the first two years of med school! Wishful thinking I guess. "He will just have one test to study for. He has already been studying for it for months. No big right??" I have never been more wrong! Landon's poor little eyes are red from studying 14 hour days every day for two+ weeks now! He does take a quick dinner break with us. Phew!

I'll be frank, this whole Step 1 test thing is the worst, most awful, stress! I know Landon will do great, but what I don't know is how he is doing it. Only 13 more days babe!!! You can do it. Oh and ps I can't wait to go to bed at the same time as you again. Ha! 

I've been keeping myself pretty busy to distract myself:). Museum, parks, mutual, planting flowers, bubbles, thunderstorms, wedding planning, Chicago for Jacqueline's Endowment Session, moving people, planning, preparing a lesson on revelation, cleaning, playing! Yay! The weight of Landon's test is always weighing on my mind, but I've just decided to have fun while carrying said weight. Poor Landon, no fun at all! :) 

Thirteen more days babe and then we have some SERIOUS tv catching-up to do. 

We are blessed! We really are. And we couldn't and wouldn't do this journey without our family and friends! Thank you f&f's... You know who you are ;). And of course our Heavenly Father and Savior who are always there for us and ready and willing to help as long as we turn to them! 

Life is.... good... and.... will be better in... 13 days. :) hehe!! 

PS. I know the Church is true! :) 

PPS til next week when there are only six more days!!!

"But WHY Mom?'

I would seriously be a millionaire if I had a dollar for every time Jax said that phrase in the last week. He also asks permission for EVERY STINKIN thing he does.

Jax: "Mmmmoooommmmy can I dip my fries in my ketchup?" 
Me: "Yes Bud you can!"
Jax: "But WHHY mom?" 
Me: UGH!

Jax: "mmoooommmy!!! Mommmy!! Can I open the door to the closet?" 
Me: "Yes sweetie you can" 
Jax: "But WHHHY mom?" 
 Me: Umpf 

Jax: "Mmmmooommmmmmyyyy! Can I go under the blanket plllleeeassse?" 
Me: "Of course hun!" 
Jax: "Buuuut WHY mom?" 
Me: AHHH 

I know maybe one day i'm going to beg for him to just ask me everything and ask permission for everything. BUT WHY does it have to be ALL DAY LONG :)! 

Life is good. We came home from Michigan. We had fun. Landon studied. But it was awesome. Good rest of the week. I'm sick, but i'm pretending like im not. I loved hanging out with my young women at the temple on Saturday and falling asleep at 8:45pm Saturday night. 

Landon is studying like crazy for this test. Its coming sooo soon! Life is happy!

Tender Mercy! Jax fell asleep at 10:30am while he was with Landon Saturday morning. So Landon could keep studying.
