1/3 of the way through 4th term!!!!!

Okay so... I need to brag a little bit here.

Nick just completed his first round of 4th term exams! He had a Pathology (the huge 13 credit class) exam on Monday and a Micro exam on Friday. The weeks leading up to these exams were even more intense than usual, with him easily putting in 15+ hour study days and battling ever growing stress and exhaustion. However, all that hard work paid off and Nick brought home 2 A's!!! And, not just any old A's... but two good, solid, above average, completely rock my socks off, A's! I could not be more proud :) 

There is nothing better than seeing all his countless hours of labor, endless cups of coffee, and nights with far too little sleep, pay off! My fiancé is one hardworking and smart man! I'll steal a little credit and say it's because I keep him clothed and well fed... ;)

So, it goes without saying that after exams were done Nick deserved to let loose, have some fun, and sleep! And that is exactly what we did all weekend long! We had a perfect weekend filled with time on the water in the "donut boat", dinner at our place with friends, late night swimming at our neighbor's pool, sleeping in, big yummy breakfast, thunderstorms, napping in the hammock, church, movies, and football... LOTS of football!

Our set up for the football games. Doors wide open, breeze blowing in, thunderstorms pouring down... as close to fall weather as we will ever get here... it was AWESOME!

I am not ready to surrender Nick back over to 4th term yet, but sadly our weekend of bliss has come to an end and he was back out the door early this morning for class and studying. 4th term sure does make you cherish quality time and I am already looking forward to our next weekend of fun in about... 5-6 weeks... sigh. In the meantime, send positive thoughts and prayers his way so that he is able to not only continue chugging away lecture by lecture, but that he continues to dominate :)
