Update on Life in Orlando

Besides gardening, this is what we have been up to:

• Jon went to Michigan for 4th of July weekend, leaving me home alone to do school work and deliver a baby.
• I have been working my a#@ off to get all of my clinical requirements signed off on and submitted to my school so that they can submit it to the national certification body - this is all so I can write my big exam in October.
• We are facilitators for our small group from Church - which is proving to be a bit of work, as we just got some new folks and our group is large, but haphazard.
• I am done teaching basic Anatomy and Physiology, but am now planning for teaching 4 sessions of Anatomy and Physiology of Reproduction.
• I taught 2 weeks of ESL for my old job - they were desperate, and I needed some money. Now I am back to just teaching Saturdays and doing clinic/birth center the rest of the week.
• I have a 1 inch incision on my forehead from where the dermatologist excised a basal cell carcinoma. It looks like a ton of bandages covering a big welt due to the swelling from the anesthetic. I'll have a similar incision on my shoulder in 2 weeks. Boo for skin cancer.
• I finally saw Avatar. I kinda liked the bird thingies.
• Jon gets to go to DC next weekend for work. Lucky butt. He really seems to be liking his job these days
• I was following the story of the Iranian woman who was supposed to be stoned - so relieved/thrilled/grateful that it looks like she might be spared.
• HOT - it is HOT here. But I know it is HOT for many of you, too.

There, that should be enough for now. Just wanted to update so that you know we are still alive and doing pretty well. I'll try to get some pictures up soon!
