It's Raining Again!

Welcome to the Bay Area. Just as I started to pen this post, it started pouring...no wonder I was able to sleep in this morning! I always have the roughest time staying in bed when the sun is out. I may take advantage of this weather and crawl back in since I might even be able to get back to sleep now that I've eaten breakfast!

Despite the rain, today should be a pretty decent day here. I don't have anything planned really. I might put our car seat base in so that (hopefully) I can make it sometime this week or next to have one of the checkpoints give me the thumbs up or needs improvement sign.

As far as a thumbs up, Mark got a big one yesterday! He has been waiting for the results of the clinic exit exam he took at his school about a week or so ago and they finally came in! I'm happy to report that our boy passed! Yea! Three cheers for Marky Mark! This means that once he gets his numbers in at the clinic, he can decrease his time there to make more time for spending with the little fish (or should I say kickboxer now - ouch!) that lives in my tummy! At any rate, it is very exciting. Now he only has one more "big" exam to go...that would be the one that our dear sprout is not going to interrupt. :) Mark's attending a review course all this week to ensure that he's ready for that big test, but passing his school's exam is actually a big booster in that area - it's been said that if you can pass the school's exam, the board exams are a little easier. We're not buying it, but it's a nice thought anyhow!

In other Mark news, he's been looking into offices and what not for when he is a bonafide doctor. He's been talking to a lot of docs in Denver and Colorado Springs since we think we'd like to move back to Colorado. Yesterday he was able to talk to a doctor who has a place on North Carefree and Powers and is looking for someone to share office space with (this is apparently the newest trend). I thought it was funny that this is in the same general area that we lived when we moved.

Other than that, I can tell you that coming up this week is sure to be full of fun and blogging fodder. We have my company's after tax season party on Monday, our OB checkup and two introductory pediatrician appointments on Tuesday (a day off for me!) and who knows what the rest of the week will hold besides my parents' anniversary on April 22 - Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! Here's to (wow!) 30 years!
