Time to Catch Up...Majorly!

I'm going to start off writing from the time I left off until now, so basically be prepared for a information overload!  

Jordan ended his second year of medical school in the middle of May and began studying for the Step One examination.  He basically was locked in our office from early morning (5-6 AMish) until his lunch break at noon.  He would then study until 5:30 PM, have dinner, and then study again until 11 PM.  EVERY. DAY.  It was exhausting!  I wasn't even the one studying and I was tired from it!  Thankfully, our house was quiet enough for him to be able to study.  I can't imagine what it was like for fellow classmates with a couple kids!  

Jordan and I celebrated our THIRD wedding anniversary on May 30 (in the middle of studying lol)!  Three whole years, and I honestly can't believe how fast the time has flown.  I also can't believe how much more I love Jordan now than when we first got married.  He is everything to me!  I am such a lucky girl to have snagged him :)  I had to work on our anniversary (boo) but I came home to the sweetest and most unexpected surprise.

"3 years ago today..."

"We took the next step"

"And climbed towards eternity"

"Reaching new heights..."

"And we still haven't reached the top yet..."

"I can't wait to see what lies next..."

"Together with my eternal companion <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

We went out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Buz and Neds and then came home and relaxed.  

We signed our lease at our new house on June 15!  It's a three bedroom, two bathroom duplex in Churchill, a major historic area in downtown Richmond.  The house was probably built in the early 1900's and I love it.  There are so many details about the house that I'll highlight later.  We painted every single room and I love all the color - no more white walls here!  

On June 16, Jordan woke up bright and early to take the Step One.  The test is over 300 questions and took over 8 hours...talk about killer.  He was so prepared though, so I knew he would do awesome!  After emerging, I whisked him away for dinner and a fun night out.  We decided to go to a hotel for the night and I can decidedly tell you that I will never stay at a Crowne Plaza Hotel again.  When I walked in the lobby, laden with bags, no one offered to carry my things to my room. When I got to the room, I was disappointed with 2 full size beds, not a king like I had reserved. Later that night, when we turned off the lights, the light from the hallway was streaming in through cracks around the door. I could hear every word people in the hall and in the room next to us were saying. Around 1:30 AM, a group of partiers decided to start yelling in the hall and kept at it for 5 minutes. I finally got so sick of it that I didn't care I was in my garments - I was going to give them a piece of my mind!  I walked out in the hall and yelled at them.  They quieted down after that.  Bahaha! 

I'll update you some more next week!
