{ Typographic Verses via Pinterest} I'm not always a huge fan of bible verse prints.  The actual prints.  I'm a fan of the verses. :)  This one, though, is awesome.  I love the fonts.  I want it on our wall.  And I think it's a good verse to be reminded of right now. I am on a break from school, so here I write.  {I started writing this post last Wednsday.  Now it is Monday.  eeks. }  I really have been taking the past four months one. day. at a time.  Learning that tomorrow really will "care for itself."  God is teaching me that.  When I fail to take on that perspective, I end up looking ahead at all the things to be done, ending up overwhelmed and discouraged.  Then it just goes downhill.  I wish I could say life with school has become oh, so easy.  It hasn't.  It has gotten increasingly eas ier, though.  Most definitely.  And I'm okay with that.  It simply is the way it is.  P...

I have my white coat.  Actually, it's no more official really than when I started two months ago, but it feels like it.  Our white coat ceremony was last Friday, at the end of our first exam week.  Unit One - Done.  Honestly, my brain felt (still feels a bit) like a brick wall by the end of the last exam.  But they are over.  I've spent the past few days trying to feel like a human being again, but it seems that's a slow process.  It has all continued to be rough, but I've made it.  And I'm really proud of myself.  Honestly, I have a hard time saying that sometimes , but right now, I can say it confidently.  I can't say I've handled it all gracefully, nor am I near a top student in my class, but I have made it one-fifth of the way through.  And I've heard that it only gets easier from here, or at least that you have learned how to do things and handle it better.  So cheers to that!  Cheers to a few days off!  And chee...

Hi, my name is the heart.  I'm very complex.  I sit in your mediastinum.  I depolarize and repolarize.  I'm regular, sometimes irregular and maybe even irregularly irregular.  And I just so happen to be the reason Colleen hasn't blogged for awhile.  p.s.  T reat me right with a healthy diet and some exercise.  :)

Today I had my midterms.  So I took a little break this evening.  My mind it stuffed full.  I still have lots of work to do for the rest of the week (and tomorrow).  I need to get back to it.  But, hi friends.  Oh, the past few weeks have felt hard.  Mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally.  They've been rough.  It's just a lot.  I'm exhausted.  But I know things will get better.  I'll adjust.  And it's simply the nature of what a signed up for...there's a lot of information and a short amount of time.  Naturally it will take a little bit.  Soon I will begin to get more sleep, I know.  So, tonight I spent some guilt-less time with this little babe.  Lots of smiles and lots of fun.  She's getting so big!  And she's such a sweetie. Okay, back to it!

I bought them .  I might have added them to one of my school book orders when I was stressed this week.  A moment of weakness.  Pathophys and Bensimon sneaks .  Only on Amazon.   Wow, this week felt like one really, really long month.  I worked my butt off.  I cried a lot ( Really cried.  I mean really .).  I learned a lot.  I didn't sleep much.  It's all new territory.  And it was really hard, but here I'm at the end of the week and I'm relieved to say that I made it.  I survived. :) And despite the fact that I'm still getting used to all the changes and missing Eloise like crazy when I'm gone, the past few days felt far better than the first part of the week.  Have you ever heard of grace?  Sometimes I have a little trouble extending it to myself, even though God offers it so freely.  And this week was a lesson in that.  I have a feeling this whole year will be.  Thankful I made it to the wee...

I'm up.  Up working on school things.   I've missed this baby so much these past few days.  I miss her when she sleeps, so it comes as no surprise. But this morning she gave me sweet, sweet smiles.  And rolled over this evening. We will take this all day by day for now.  We will.  It will be okay.

This is where my head will be starting tomorrow. The start of my twenty-six-month long adventure called PA school ( Physician Assistant ) begins.  It's been so hard to get used to the idea of leaving Eloise each day...I'm still working through it.  She'll be in good hands, I know...it's just a hard thing.  I'm still not sure what this means for this blog.  It may have to go completely to the side or maybe it will be an outlet for me...only time will tell.  Any prayers appreciated tomorrow if you read this!

We're trying to get prepared for PA school (starting June 6th), detail-wise and emotion-wise here at the Kemp household.  Eloise is now very ready, thanks to Da (my dad).  She'd be the cutest little PA or doc out there, as long as nobody minded that she couldn't talk or sit up on her own...  { Eloise wears the Baby Aspen "Baby, MD" Set }
