A Quick Update
Hello All!
My sincere apologies for not updating the blog lately...I promise I will get better at updating once we become a little more settled and used to this routine! I thought I'd give a quick update on how the Petersons are doing.
The first word that comes to mind when describing life right now is B.U.S.Y! I never imagined life as a newly married couple could be this busy. I knew Chris would be incredibly busy, but I didn't think I would be as busy as I am. Chris has been very stressed and busy with midterms lately. He had 3 exams last week, and he has another 3 this week. After the 3 exams this week he has at least one exam every week until finals. Not to mention, he also has lots of projects, homework assignments, waxing teeth, and other odds and ends to do before the semester is over. However, he is still loving school and Pittsburgh, and he tells me every day that he can't wait to be a dentist. Last week he learned how to drill for the first time and his teacher asked him if he had drilled before because he was doing such a great job. He was pretty excited about that compliment! For me, working 40 hours/week consumes most of my time. The free time that I do have I spend cleaning, trying to stay in shape & working out every night, ironing, grocery shopping, laundry, paying the bills, and lots of other "wife" stuff. Chris and I don't get to see too much of eachother, but we make the most of the time we do have together and we keep saying this will all be worth it in the end! We try to have "date night" one night on the weekend; this Friday night we are celebrating the end of Chris's midterms by having a date night and making homemade pizza together..should be fun! We know we have to put in our time now and continue to make sacrifices so we can reach all of the goals we have as a family.
I continue to enjoy my job and I am learning SO much. One thing that I dislike about this new job is that we take care of tons of cancer patients who come in to have procedures done. I have never liked oncology nursing and I don't know how there are enough nurses in the world who have the ability to care for cancer patients. I keep praying and thinking that maybe this is God's way of showing me that being in Pittsburgh really isn't so bad, because there are so many people who have a heck of a lot more on their plate.....
Once again, thank you so much to our friends and family for your support during this transition of life. We are so grateful for all of you, and you continue to be in our daily thoughts and prayers.
WE LOVE YOU ALL!
Love always,
Chris and Rachael
