I've been home a little over 2 weeks and honestly am not sure where time has gone! Life has been busy, but a fun busy! I've been running all over doing last minute wedding stuff- dotting our Is and crossing our Ts. Thankfully, we got SO much help from family here on the home front while we were gone that although I feel like I have been doing a lot non-stop- really, there was not too much left that needed to be done :) We are SO appreciative of all the help because it has allowed this process to stay fun and relatively free of stress!
The final missing piece to the puzzle lands in the U.S in a few short hours!!! YES, Nick has OFFICIALLY completed 4th term and I could not be more proud! Now, I say this each term and after each test (and genuinely mean it each time because he amazes me) but let me tell you... 4th term, was hard. It was draining. It was exhausting. It was stressful. It was consumed by Pathology, with several other classes also demanding attention as well. It was long. And Nick handled it like a freakin' champ and now I get to brag on him a bit :) He ran on just a few hours of sleep each night and endured 12+ hour days filled with class, followed by lab, further followed by hours of studying... for 5 months straight. Yet, through it all he still managed to come home with a smile on his face more days than not. Still managed to leave his stress from studying at the door more days than not. Still would surprise me with help around the house whenever he could. And still sent me sweet messages on Skype, when the days got long and we were hardly seeing each other. Annnnnddd, on top of all that, he ROCKED Pathology, a 13 credit, hard as can be class. He's a rock star. And probably not going to be a fan of all my bragging about him... but it's deserved, and I am allowed :)
Tomorrow starts wedding week! And I am so excited to have him home to be a part of it! I love how excited he is and how much he likes to be involved :) Nothing sounds better than a week of pre-wedding last minute things in front of Christmas movies with my favorite guy, family, and closest friends!
Good riddance 4th term! I'll GLADLY take my student back now :) So proud of Nick and all of my 4th term friends and their SOs for surviving this beast of a term!

Slacker blogger award
Time is passing SO quickly these days, I can't even believe it!
Life update since my blogging has been less than stellar... Nick survived the second round of exams and once again did awesome! He successfully completed Microbiology and is happy to check yet another class off the list! There is no doubt that the past 7 weeks were the hardest in medical school. They were unbelievably exhausting, but all the hard work and lack of sleep paid off :) I am extremely proud! Since Microbiology is officially done, he has started Nutrition as a replacement, but compared to Micro, it is much easier and so the trade was welcomed with open arms! Nutrition is only a 1 credit class that he has for 2 weeks (his final is already on Monday) and then is done and he will only have Pathology and CPD for the remainder of the term. Although the term is not over yet, and finals promise to be hard as always, I think we can officially say there is a small light at the end of the tunnel!!
In other news: Nick's parents came to visit, so we had a blast doing some fun things and Nick was able to break away from studying to hang out with them more than we expected, which was great! There was lots of beach time and just hanging out, and the highlight of the trip was easily deep sea fishing! We've been before but did not catch anything so we were excited to go again and try our luck... and this time caught SEVEN FISH! It was SO awesome! All in all we caught 1 Tuna, 2 Rainbow Runners, and 4 Barracuda! This was my first time catching anything ever deep sea fishing so I was pumped! Having visitors is always so nice, especially when you haven't seen anyone from home in 5 months!!!!
Otherwise, life has been a little more boring for me. I haven't been able to go to Limes much at all the past couple of weeks because I have been on house arrest studying for my board exam (that I take in only 20 days... eeek!) It makes me sad to miss out on Limes and definitely makes me realize how much those Limes children have made my life here as great as it is... but unfortunately, for now, studying has to be main priority. Still bums me out though. I miss those kids SO much and am hoping to get there at least a couple times before I leave to head home in 2 weeks!
And lastly, wedding planning is coming along amazingly!! I still love it and enjoy every minute of it! Definitely starting to feel the crunch a little bit (37!!! days!!) and can not wait to be home and more hands on in the getting ready process! Thank goodness for so many people at home helping with calls, setting appointments, and doing a lot of the leg work for us because otherwise this whole planning thing would not have been possible! All in all too, I think we are really on top of things, and everything should continue to run smoothly (Mom, don't think about the number of days left!) Reality that it is so close still has not completely hit me though because the weather here makes me feel like it is still a couple months away, but we are really excited and looking forward to it! It is the perfect way to end this crazy term!

Medical school student in da house!
I've mentioned before that Nick is currently taking a class commonly referred to as CPD, which stands for Communication Skills and Physical Diagnosis. This class is interesting because it actually allows the students to start learning and practicing basic physical exams, assessments, and evaluations on each other and (paid actor) patients..... and in our case... Nick gets to practice on me.
For the past several evenings Nick has come home from studying on campus a couple hours early, and our house has turned into Dr. Leo's medical office. He runs through these general assessments- obtaining vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respiration, temperature), checks for jugular venous pressure and pulsation, checks peripheral vascular system (using tests such as: Allen’s test, Buerger’s test, a manual compression test, Pratt test and Homan sign), does examinations on the ear, nose, and sinuses (using tests such as the Whisper test and sinus transillumination).... you get the idea. Lots of fun, real life doctor stuff- with real doctor tools. He continues to impress me with his ever growing knowledge and seeing him apply it is fun... plus, it appears that according to these tests, other than needing stronger contact lenses (sad day when you fail a vision test that is supposed to just be for practice) I appear to be healthy and regularly functioning!
So, while seeing him act all professional is all super fun and cute, when he announced he was coming home to test out some skills on me the other night- more specifically the ears/nose/throat skills, I was a little less than enthused... see, I am currently battling a cold. Awesome. It's already a little weird to spend my night having my fiance looking up my nose or in my ears- let alone on a night when I am a bit under the weather... But, he is going to be quizzed on these assessments soon, so in true medical school spirit, the exams went on! Weird or not, a passing grade is definitely more important than him not being prepared due to the possibility of wax in my ears or boogers in my nose.
Yep, getting married to a doctor-in-training sure is a romantic.

Long over-do for an update!
Yikes! I've been a major slacker on the blogging lately!
Honestly, that is because 4th term is the same thing just about every day. Nick continues to leave around 7:30am each day and returns somewhere between 10-midnight. It's busy. It's stressful. It's exhausting. It's all work, and no play. His next set of exams are in a couple weeks, so send him extra positive vibes as the intensity is upped (if that is even possible) over these next couple weeks :)
As for me, I've also pretty much gone into hibernation mode. My days pretty much consist of the normal house chores, wedding planning, and studying for my board exam. With my board exam right around the corner, I've sadly started to have to prioritize my time a bit differently. I still volunteer a couple days a week, but not every day. Although being with the kids is A LOT more fun and honestly a lot more hands on social working experience... this girl needs to pass the multiple choice board exam in December! Wish me luck... I will be needing it. After a year off from school, I have become the worst student ever. I'd rather watch paint dry than hammer out over this material all day. But, I am slowly getting back into a groove.
A few fun things from the past week or so:
IEA (the school's honor society) put on a dodge ball tournament 2 Friday's ago, and Nick's football team played in it. It was really fun and SO great to see them all letting loose... and not to mention relieving some stress by hurling balls at the other teams head for several hours! His team did awesome and made it all the way to the finals, but unfortunately could not pull off the championship win. Still all in all a great night! It was awesome to see Nick out there having such a good time, and to actually get to see him/spend a little time with him for the first time in several weeks!
Two of our volunteers, Miss Taylor and Miss Katie, at LIMES used to be cheerleaders, so they brushed off their cheer-leading caps and introduced the Limes kids to cheering! One day was spent making pom-poms, which was so much fun! They made them by cutting up garbage bags, which I thought was so creative! The kids absolutely loved it and were so focused and serious about making them. The next day Taylor and Katie taught them a cheer that they performed at the end of class. Talk about cuteness! All the girls (plus Jade) got so into it... these kids crack me up!
Was chatting with Jada at Limes last week and she holds my hand and says "Miss, yo hands big." I responded with something like "yep, they sure are big next to your little ones aren't they?" To which she said, "No. They aren't big next to mine. They are big to hold onto mine." You couldn't be more right Jada- girl, that is exactly why my hands are so big :) It's little moment like those that just absolutely melt my heart and make my entire week!
Although our internet has been strugglin' really hardcore recently, I've still been able to stream all the exciting sports games :) Both Nick and I have been proudly wearing our Detroit gear and our neighbors wonder who the crazy girl is screaming at her computer for every Tigers baseball game and Lions football game. Man, Detroit sports sure like to make their fans sweat! Needless to say, took a lengthy study break yesterday to watch both the Lions and Tigers bring home victories :)
And just because they have been so beautiful, here are a few pictures of sunsets recently!

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!
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 :)

"Miss I smart!"
Over the summer Nick's mom took us to the largest flee market I have ever seen. Tents and goodies were everywhere and the prices for things couldn't be beat. There were sundresses galore, tons of random nick-nacks, and just lots of great stuff. But I hit the goldmine in the dollar store of all tents. This tent had the most random assortment of things ever.. for a dollar or less!! It was great!! Instantly, my mind went one place- Limes.
In a matter of minutes my arms (and Nick's) were loaded with more things than they could hold. Card games. Flashcards. Dry erase doodle/alaphabet/number boards, bouncy balls, coloring books, activity books, crayons, and 60 toothbrushes. I probably would never have moved on from that tent if it weren't for the one minor issue of needing to transport all my new found goodies back to Grenada! I was so excited to take them to Limes the first day and ever since have taken my bag of "new goodies" with me each week. It is so fun to see their eyes light up during a game of Uno and to see them practice their writing on the alphabet boards. I have also been beyond amazed at how well they have (for the most part) shared these new things with each other, sat in a circle and played cards together (with minimal arguing) and their enthusiasm to learn and show off with the flashcards. I just love it!
We continue to be blessed with a ton of volunteers at Limes. I can't say enough how much of difference it makes and how incredibly awesome it is. Not only that, but our new volunteers are all so great with kids, many bring teaching backgrounds to the table, and so it has been fun to have so many new ideas and bodies around! Today, one of our teachers, Miss Nicci, sat and played a game with addition/subtraction flashcards with a group of boys for almost a full hour... a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Several times during the game one would come up to me and say "Miss, I smart!" then proudly tell me the answer to the problem on the card. It was so cute! I love seeing them not only having so much fun, but learning at the same time!

"All you need is love" (and Limes)
Limes is officially back in action! This week was our first week back holding class on Tuesdays-Thursday at 3-5pm. It's amazing how much I missed it!
I heard this today and I instantly thought of Limes and how true this is. To these kids hearing "I love you" is nice and for some the shocked looks on their faces when you say it shows how infrequently they hear those words, but it is also evident that more than saying that... it is our actions that have the power to speak volumes.
This does not simply have to be showering them with new toys, snacks, and fun games/activities. But also through structure, reliability, compassion, and patience. It is by those actions combined that we demonstrate to them that we truly do care about them, and that their needs and feelings are important to us. Words can be hallow, and many of these kids have learned this lesson much too well, so our actions can be more meaningful to them than a phrase. One little guy who I just love to pieces came running up to me to say goodbye one day this week. I have been bringing fun new toys and games and he was able to play with those on several occassions, but that doesn't mean the day went by without incident. The downside to new things is that no one wants to share, so this little guy and I had had several talks throughout class about sharing, listening, and following rules. Although he would end up relinquishing the toy or stop what he was doing, it was done so with a pout, and for the next several minutes I was the worst person in the world to him. However, I continued to engage him and despite it being a bit of a rocky day for him, when I went to leave I heard a shouting "Miss" and turned around to him leaping into my arms for a goodbye hug. It was so special and cute.
It is important for us to demonstrate love not only by the giving of materialistic things, although of course those things are nice, but also through our ability to look past their misbehaviors- especially on the most challenging days.
When they are acting selfish, it is important to remember what it might feel like to have very little to call our own. When they are constantly tattling or accusing others of wrong doings, it is important to remember the reasons they might be growing up with so much suspicion, distrust, and need to prove someone else wrong. When they get angry and frustrated over something seemingly small, remember what it might feel like to experience a loss of control that easily. Amidst a thousand complaints, think about what it might be like to never be able to just be happy with how things are, and to always feel the need to find something wrong... or to rarely have your needs met and satisfied. We are all different, come from different backgrounds, living conditions, family structures, etc. and we don't know how their personal experiences have affected them, but the bottom line is the same... we all need to know we are loved!

4th term is here!!! Dun, Dun, Dun!
Nick is officially in week 2 of the dreaded 4th term and after looking at his schedule, let's just say- better him than me! 4th term is no joke. He is going to be one busy, busy, busy, BUSY, boy!
His classes for 4th term are: Pathology (13 credits), Microbiology (5 credits), Nutrition (1 credit) and a Communication Skills and Physical Diagnosis Class (aka "CPD", 3 credits). So his day will more or less look like this for the next oh, 4 months:
As for me, I have plenty to do to keep me busy this term as well. I am on the Significant Others Board this term, will continue to volunteer with LIMES (which starts up so soon and I can't wait!), am studying for my Social Work Board Exam (which after jumping through a million hoops is finally officially scheduled for December!), and of course wedding planning!
Needless to say, the next 4 months are going to fly by :) Speaking of which... we get married 4 months from Wednesday!!!! YAY!!

- 6:30am wake up
- 8am-12pm- lecture
- 1-5pm - on most days, some sort of lab will most likely take place somewhere in here
- 6/7pm until he can't continue on any longer = studying
- Sleep, wake up, repeat... until December.

Reunited with our Limes Babies!!!
Yesterday a few of us went to visit several of the Limes kids at their house. Let me just say, there is nothing like their cute, excited shrieks as they saw us walking up toward their house! So excited! They were so silly! Kyla was cracking us up, showing off and being her typical sassy self, Jivvy seemed to want to give us the silent treatment at first and made us work to get some smiles out of her, and Mel-Mel was her typical lovey and thrilled to see you self. They were all just too cute for words
My heart was ready to explode with happiness as soon as I saw them and I couldn't get enough of their hugs and sassy commands to be picked up. They all sprouted up over the past several months and are so much taller!
Oh sweet Limes babies how I missed you! Can't wait for Limes to officially start up in the next couple weeks! We have several new SOs on the island, so hopefully that means more volunteers at Limes each week to play with these sweet kids!
