The last semester

This is Bruce writing the posting for the end of the year. Normally I don't write much on here and I apologize. But there is exciting news to discuss about 2016. Next week, in 2016 I start a paid internship at a local women's health clinic. This is exciting for several reasons. The first being that this will be the last semester of my undergrad. Second, that getting this internship set up has taken months and caused me a lot of stress trying to find one. Having this internship set up has been a huge sigh of relief to me.

What's special is that I'm actually one of the very few HCA students at ISU to receive a paid internship. So to receive that opportunity is something I am very grateful for. I am very lucky to have received the education I have from ISU and I am eager to get to work in my field and apply what I have learned.

Happenings

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Bruce and I enjoyed spending this Christmas at home together with our crazy pups.  It was great to spend the whole day together, which is something we don't get to do too often with our work, school, and church obligations

My parents came for a quick visit yesterday, and as were were talking about the aforementioned pups, my mom said that I should put some of their antics on the blog.

We also discussed the fact that Bruce and I were very glad that the dogs hadn't really destroyed many things.  Murphy is definitely the destructive chewer of the two (Cooper chews a lot, but only on approved toys).

That is, they hadn't destroyed much until...today.

This is our impression of what happened when Bruce and I left for church.

The joys of puppy-ownership...

A look in the rear view mirror

Merry Christmas (almost)!

I decided to carry the tradition of making a "Year in Review" for our little family (we'll see how long I actually keep this going).

We hope you enjoy!
