new “home” in Tampa January 22, 2009

i use the word “home” very loosely as i’m only here temporarily and even then i’m sneaking back home to Jax on the long breaks. part of my clinical experience through UNF involves a 2 month stint down here in Tampa. the housing is free, which is great, but i share this house with 7 other people, and that makes it a bit crowded when everyone’s here. but, it’s temporary, and i’m still commuting home as much as possible to be with David and my home and my dog. those make me happy.

in any case, here are some pics of the new pad for now through february, after which i hope never to return!

holiday splendor January 22, 2009

i really do love the holidays. every year they come and go too quickly though, and with school cramping my style, i feel like my time is even less. however we did manage to have some fun times over Christmas, and i’m excited to share these with you.

we spent the morning and afternoon just hanging out and playing. ate some oatmeal, breakfast of champions, opened gifts, played with gifts, went for a bike ride, played some more, then went over to hang with some dear friends for a night of fun and food. i love Christmas!!!!

total slacker November 21, 2008

so, i’ve been completely neglecting the blogosphere in my weakened academic state. school has been kicking my you-know-what lately, and we’ve had much gto do even on my days “off”. what i have learned is that i don’t really have days off. there are days when i’m not directly working in the hospital for my clinical hours, but i’m at home studying, or cleaning and keeping the house up, or running errands. to be honest, i think true days off only come around when i’m not actually at home–when i’m away on a vacation, not with family or scheduled plans or anythihng, but just away. sad but true.

so, let’s see if i can summarize the recent events in the Rosai life. David’s sister, Laura, got married a couple weeks ago, and the wedding was simple and beautiful. laura and her new hubby, Steve, are doing well and getting back into routine. David is absolutely loving the new convertable and never knew he’d love some material thing quite like this! it’s been a lot of fun for him. i have repainted my office this fabulous brick red color and am planning to redo the bathroom next–probably in a deep blue. my laptop is broken for good and to repair it would be half the price of a new one, so we’re shopping for a new one. hopefully black friday deals will prove helpful! my schooling is going well, and i’ve crossed over that halfway mark–hooray for small victories!

i guess that’s it. nothing super-crazy-exciting to report, but life is good, and we are so blessed. and i’m very much looking forward to the Christmas season!!!!!
