From MCAT to Mozambique

Here's a recap of the past few weeks via my iphone. 

I was welcomed home from Ecuador with a sweet surprise from Ashley and these two cuties on my doorstep! I love the zebra on the "L". :)

I made it back to the US just in time to be the supportive wife for Justin while he took the mcat. He doesn't find out his score for a while but we are just relieved it's over! 

For our post-mcat celebratory lunch, Justin picked to eat at Braza Express (a local Brazilian grill... not surprising). We had a can of Guarana to share. So good. 

The next day, we went over to Jana's for some Mother's Day festivities. Justin took a few well-deserved breaks to catch up on some zzz's.

 This week we got to go to Marissa's end of school performance. She sang in the choir and performed baton-twirling!  She has some serious skills and it was super fun to watch.

On Thursday, we got a quick visit from my mom! She took us out to breakfast at Kneader's and then I took her to the airport. It was Justin's first time eating Kneader's famous french toast and he loved it. Check that off our Provo bucket list! I loved catching up with my mom, even if it was only a few hours. 

Justin is now en route to Mozambique! We only had one minor crisis in the process of leaving: he forgot his computer charger. This might seem like a minor thing, except he has all of his files for finishing his medical school application on his computer. He called me in a panic and we tried to think of solutions... miss his flight and go get one, try to buy one on a layover in London (but wrong outlet!), etc. 

I was sitting at work but luckily had just sent all but one of my patients home so I jumped on the computer. It dawned on me that he had a quick layover in San Francisco. I googled the stores in the airport and started calling each of them. Two stores in a row said they had just sold out (seriously how many people forget their charger?!). I was about to give up but the third tech store I called saved the day. I put a charger on hold under his name just to be safe and he picked it up during his layover. 

Crisis avoided. I think I my losing/forgetting stuff has rubbed off on him in a bad way....

I am just holding down the fort and working some shifts at the hospital until I get to meet him there in two weeks. I convinced him to post every once in a while on here so I can see what he's up to!
