There is too much to say for this month; I’ll have to be brief. Becky got another job this month. It came as a referral from the museum director. She felt so bad for having to let Becky go that she was on the lookout for any job she could refer to Becky. Becky is now a part-time receptionist at a pediatric dentist’s office. She enjoys the atmosphere and is gaining valuable skills. I think it’s a great opportunity for us. On Friday the 18th I finished my first semester of medical school (cheers and applause). It’s a good feeling. I don’t know all my final grades, but I am confident that I passed. I put in the time and know my stuff. Also on the 18th we got hit with a huge snow storm. It dumped 2 ft. in less than 24 hours! Lot’s of people got stuck on their way out of town. It took Becky and I 4 days before we were dug out enough to use our car.
The first part of our Christmas break was spent here in Lewisburg relaxing. It was so nice to be able to sleep in. My to-do lists included things like “watch another episode of Star Trek” and “read my book.” Christmas morning was unusual, but comfortable. We didn’t have any other family with us, it was just Becky and I. We read the Christmas story in bed before we went and opened our presents. It was relaxing and fun. We miss our families, but it’s also fun to establish our own home and traditions. We went to some friends’ house for Christmas dinner and stayed and played games. It was a wonderful holiday!
On the 29th Becky and I loaded up the car and headed to Washington D.C. We went to the temple that day. The temple is spiritually rejuvenating. I feel better prepared to face the future. I’m glad we took time to go. I have extended family on my Mom’s side living a few minutes north of the temple. We stayed with them during our trip. It was neat to get to know some of our family a little better and we are grateful for their hospitality. On the 30th we went to Baltimore to visit the National Aquarium. It was a fun day. There’s too much to explain about our day in Baltimore, it was a lot of fun. For pictures and a couple of videos go to our blog that Becky maintains so nicely: http://stewandbeck.blogspot.com/. That night we went to see the lights show at the temple visitor’s center, and met a former roommate for dessert. Thanks Josh, it was fun. On the 31st we came back home. It’s been such a fun break and a fantastic end to an eventful year. One year ago I never could have guessed where we’d be or what we’d be doing. Life is truly and adventure! May God bless and keep you safe.
Stewart and Becky

so how long is this med school going to last now that you have breezed through your first semester?
I know that when it's all said and done I will look back and be amazed at how fast it went, but right now it seems like it'll take the better part of eternity.
