Excuses excuses

Dear Amanda and Courtney blog,

I'm sorry for my absence from the blog. In my defense, I have been absent from my own blog as well. I am pregnant. And I got really sick (per usual) and really depressed (per usual, unfortunately). I don't know how many women get pre-partum depression instead of post, but I'm one of them. Anyway, I decamped to Utah for several months and am sorry I didn't contact anyone to hang out, but I was struggling and needing family. I'm feeling better now, both body and mind and am ready to get back in the game of life.

This year is a crazy one for us. It's Mark's last year of school! Hooray! We are applying to residency programs all over the country and he will be interviewing this winter and we will find out where we will move to on March 17th. It's been a long 6 (soon to be 7) years in the south and we're both excited to go somewhere a bit cooler and closer to home, if possible. Although, it's totally a possibility to stay here too. I'd only cry a little...

Anyway, I'm sorry I've been awol. I love you all lots. I'd been craving jell-o and so I made some for dinner tonight and it reminded me of freshman year. Tricia made a different jell-o every Sunday night. And remember the time someone made lemon jello and colored it orange or something? Anyway, I think I'm going to start making jello every Sunday. It's an awesome tradition.
