So, Spring Break is long gone. I had a wonderful time visiting my family and friends in Snoho. Now, back to the daily grind of class and such. I am currently avoiding work on my Agouti Signaling Protein paper...the rough draft is due Friday, and I have two pages so far. Also, I have to read about 4 scientific papers before tomorrow. Needless to say, posting a blog is the best thing I can possibly do with my time right now.
On the home front, Mark is heading out to sea in the next couple of days. He's working all the time right now, which sucks for me. Hopefully soon this will all be a distant memory. But, first I must get through this little underway. All's well that ends well I guess. Let's just hope this ends well.
I'm heading to Costa Rica in early May, so that has been the most exciting news of the day. I will be gone for about two weeks, and I can't wait to see the countryside. I'll be taking a geography class while I'm there, so that will be fun.
Ok, must go write another paragraph. Maybe when I'm done with the paper I'll post it here. Not like anyone would read it, but it's an idea.

Last month or so

Alright, so it's been forever since I've posted, so this has turned out to be a pretty lame blog...sorry about that. Well, my life has been pretty eventful in this last month. First, my husband has been working AWFUL hours, and is heading out to sea soon. He is on his "fast cruise" which is a lame five day pretend underway. So, that's been fun. The only good part is that after Seatrials, which should be done by the end of the month, Mark will start PNEO (prospective nuclear engineer officer's exam) and that means a make your own schedule life, which we are looking forward to.
The other big news is that we "met" Pat, our baby. We aren't sure if it's a boy or a girl, but we should find out in about a month. The circumstances were not great, though, because the day before I landed myself in the ER. I guess I got the flu or something, because from 3-9am I could not keep anything down...water...nothing. I ended up getting several packs of fluids, medicine and a bunch of other crap. It was exhausting! So, after that ordeal I went in for a followup, and got an ultrasound! Mark was with me, and it was so amazing to watch the baby jump around and it sucked its thumb!!!!
So, in conclusion, we have had a busy couple of weeks, but it was so, gosh, indescribable to see our child. Even though I can't stand the whole 'Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes' thing, I understand why they use the words "amazing" and "incredible" when describing their relationship and the baby.
