2 thoughts this morning...
One...my husband is drinking coffee this week. He's a real medical student now. Matt's right in the middle of his last 3 weeks of testing...I don't know how he does it. Last week he resorted to 2-3 Cokes or Dr. Pepper's a day...which is so unlike him. I would walk into the apartment and find coke cans all over the place. This week I persuaded him to switch to coffee...less sugar and more caffeine. Now I don't think coffee will ever be his favorite drink, but he can tolerate it and actually likes to take a sip when I get coffee from Starbucks. I think I've converted him...his father would be so disappointed.

Today in 2nd grade we're making Christmas placemats for a nursing home party. This is such a fun time of year! I let my kids use the computer to find clip art pictures to help them draw sometimes. This morning one little boy came up and asked me if I had a picture of God he could borrow. It was hard to explain that I didn't have a picture and really had no idea what God looked like. I think he even went to the computer and searched the clip art for a picture. He finally had to settle on a picture of baby Jesus...I guess that works too.

About a year ago, during Mark's most stressful semester of grad school, he also converted to coffee drinking. He used to be a social drinker, maybe a mocha at Starbucks or something. Today, he is a full-fledged coffee drinker. I think advanced schooling does something to your body that can only be cured by LOTS of caffeine!
I'm disappointed you didn't have a picture of God for your student. You should be more prepared for class, Jenna! :o)
Are you coming to Abilene over Christmas at all? We need to get together sometime before Mark and I leave the country!
Talk to you soon!
Tell Matt good luck with his next couple of weeks. I understand his pain, we've been trying to get caffeine IV drips for a month now.
I'm glad to see y'all are doing well and I missed you at Homecoming this year. Take care and have a Merry Christmas

What a sweet little boy you have in your class! It is like one of those stories that gets circulated as an e-mail forward.
Like your husband, I need lots of caffeine every day. I really wish caffeine came in IV form! Does he go to the University of Houston medical school? Boone had an interview there. Who knows, we may move to Houston!
I saw on Mike's blog that Matt was getting ready for rotations. Just wanted to wish him the best from a former classmate. I know he will do well.
