Update

Usually with a title like "Update" you're expecting something exciting. I'm afraid I may have mislead some readers. I just didn't have any other creative juices flowing at the moment and so that one seemed safe. Zac just finished his internal medicine rotation. I love the third year of medical school. One test once a month, home by five or six every night, sometimes as early as one or two in the afternoon. We get to hang out in the afternoons now. I am substitute teaching now and so I am home by 4:00 everyday. I am really enjoying it actually, mostly because the schedule is the same as Zac's. I am also working with a little three-year old boy who is speech delayed. I only see him twice a week though. He is so cute and sweet. Other than that we haven't been up to a ton. I am getting kind of excited for the holidays, mostly Christmas. Actually I take that back, I am getting reall excited for Christmas. I weakened and listened to a Christmas CD I bought for $4 at Big Lots the other day. I was having a really hard day and need some comfort. Some people reach for Twinkies or ice cream when times get tough, but my magic comfort tactic is Christmas music. It instantly warms my soul and makes all my worries go away. It's a real blessing for me. Enough about that, the weather is trying to cool off here in Arizona, but I think the state is confused. We'll have a few nice days of high 80's low 90's and then it gets scared and isn't ready to say goodbye to summer and so it shoots back up into the 100's. It's October, time to move on desert. It's going to look weird when I have Christmas lights and a snowman in the front yard when it's still 100 degrees outside. I'm starting to make soups and drink hot chocolate, but it's not helping. Anyway that's what we've been up to-not a lot.
P.S. Does anyone have any good couple costume ideas? We are going to a Halloween Costume party this weekend and have no idea what to be. I'd love any suggestions. Thanks ahead of time.

Sorry no costume ideas. Rob and I aren't good at dressing up. What are you doing with the speech delayed boy? Tutoring, speech therapy? And I was one of those people that got excited when I saw the word "update."

The ultimate BYU fans- that's all we've come up with so far! I'm glad that Zac is home more now and that you are substitute teaching and keeping busy. I love you a lot!!!

I'm glad I married into the Freestone family for many reasons. One is that you're in the family and Christmas is so much better with you. I love that you love it so much! I think that Zac should be Nacho and you should be Sister Encarnacion from Nacho Libre. That would be awesome. (I actually wanted to dress Henry up as Nacho and I would be a nun, but the only nun outfits around here are "sleazy nuns". That's just not me. I would tell you what we're going to be but Todd might be sad I let the cat out of the bag . . . )

I loved the update too. Just to hear what you are up to daily...I think those are my favorite posts.

It only seems appropriate to hear that you are listening to Christmas music.

What soups are you making? I want some!

Benson and I are going as Clark Kent and Lois Lane. We did Bart and Marge Simpson one year. Going as the BYU men's and women's athletic directors was a hit too, but that wouldn't help you out now. Walmart people greeter's are funny. Good luck and bring on the Christmas music. I'm looking forward to reading about your decorations and treats!

SO good to hear your update! I love rotations too--sooo much better than school, aren't they? Did you have a fun Halloween? How were your costumes? I'm glad to hear that you're subbing. What grades are you doing? That little boy is lucky to work with you.
