That is great to hear! I hope you guys have closure coming your way sometime very soon. I'm sure the new couches are a wonderful change...but the floral will live forever in all the pictures made on them :) I hope you have fun in Minneapolis - have you ever been there? Speaking of...Mom thinks Dad needs hearing aids soon, but she is scared about the expense. Dad is having more trouble hearing stuff lately and it gets him really grumpy when he can't hear. It stinks that something so basic makes him feel older, you know?

Same here for you guys being my "rock". I hope I tell you both that enough and how much you mean and will continue to mean the world to me.

I randomly got called for a job interview for a job that I applied for like 4 months ago. It's part time with benefits through Cook Children's - the position is helping community mental health professionals collaborate to create wraparound services for kids 0-6. Sounds like it could be cool - depending on what they are paying though, we were kinda hoping for full time work after the MCAT on July 2nd. Hmmm. They offered it to me though and I'm playing phone tag with the HR person. I don't want to pull another Arrow situation and take it then to leave for a full time job.

I'm in the middle of super crunch time with MCAT prep stuff. I don't remember physics being this hard. It's funny how much Texas kids get prepped for standardized tests...I'm not scared of the test necessarily, just making sure I've done everything I can do to prep I suppose. While this spring has royally sucked in many ways...what David and I have gained from it and the peace I have now are worth it I think. We joked that now that we have been through just about every big subject couples can break up over (money, work, future, kids) - we could totally handle something bigger later and walk through it committed. It feels good. And for the first time ever for me, I am so content to be walking assured without knowing the end of the journey. So weird.

Do you remember fall in 07 - I went to see a doc and got an antidepressant scrip? It worked pretty good for a while, then the crazy dreams started, so we switched twice more, and eventually went back to the first med. So...I've been on it for a while...and by suggestion from my PCP, tried to taper off a while back with horrible results - lots of dizziness and nausea. Stupid medicine. I still have the depressive bouts that are sooooo low and bounce back. But...I had the revelation that the serotonin precursors we use with kids with low serotonin levels may support my brain the right way. So, a tad scary, but I think after the MCAT, I'm going to try and switcheroo. I really think our family has a genetic serotonin deficit...which would be more directly addressed by a supplement than a med that makes me feel crazy and not sleep well.

The big George Strait/Reba concert was this past weekend - the stadium parking costs $40. People near our neighborhood were charging $25. Nuts! Apparently things went ok, but the concert had 60,000 people attending and 24,000 parking spaces in Arlington. Good planning, huh? We have tickets to see U2 there this fall so it will be fun to see the inside - it's supposed to be pretty amazing.

Love you with all my heart and hope to hear your voice sometime!
