Our latest adventure is me being in Bethesda, Maryland (right outside of Washington D.C.) for 3 weeks for sales training, while Brian looks for a place to live for 4 months in Batesville, Arkansas!

My birthday was last week, so Brian got to come visit on one of my only two days off while I'm here and we got to see all there is to see in D.C. We had a great time, but it was hard to see him off Monday morning. I've less than a week left, and I'm ready to come home! Our girls are ready for their mom to come home too. :)

After I get home, we'll have about 3 weeks until Brian heads off to do an externship in Batesville. He'll be there from September until December. It's going to be a HARD 4 months! It's close enough that he can come home every weekend, but not having him during the week will be hard. Not that we've been able to see much of each other the past few years!!

With his studying and my work, we stay pretty busy. We have less than a year until he becomes DR. GUICE though, so it'll all be worth it! I'm proud, impressed, and inspired by his diligence throughout his time at optometry school. He's put in some LOOOONG hours cooped up in our office staring at books. I've worked pretty hard to pay the bills while he's worked hard to ensure our bills will continue to be paid in the future. :) We've done well (not without help from our wonderful, loving family though).

When we're not working, we're spending time with our furry little daughters- our Chocolate Lab, Emma and our Border Collie, Speckles. They love being outside with us. Being outside together with friends, family, or just each other is what keeps us going.
