Chronicles of Our Trip

Will and I got back from our trip a few weeks ago and have been adjusting to a new pace of life ever since. Our roadtrip was absolutely amazing, and not a day goes by that I don't think about it. It was peaceful, relaxing, invigorating, and I'm so glad we decided to do it before med school.

Now that school has started for Will, our schedules have changed a lot. Will is up much later, and wakes up earlier. When he is at home he's normally studying so it's pretty quiet at our home lately. The other big change is Gross Anatomy Lab. Gross is an understatement. Will is in lab for a few hours each day and let me tell you- the smell! The students wear scrubs and a lab coat while in lab, so even though Will leaves his lab coat at school, we still have to wash his clothes every day! He's been in school a few weeks now, and although it's been difficult at times, we feel like we are in the right place right now. There is a great group for medical school wives at UMC that I've joined. They have meetings all throughout the year and parties and all sorts of stuff I'm looking forward to! I also switched jobs a few weeks ago. It was one of the hardest decisions I've made yet, and definitely the hardest Will and I have made as a couple. But when looking at all the circumstances, it was a much needed switch. We are learning to trust right now.

I wanted to do some posts of our trip with some pictures. We took roughly 2,000 pictures total, so I can't post nearly all of them- but I wanted to post a few highlights. I'll break the posts up by location.

Here are a few sneak peeks!!

Brevard, NC at Nanny and BobBob's cabin.

Made it to our first big destination! 27 hours of driving and 6 hours of sleep in 2 days!
