Today is Justins first Anatomy Practical Exam. An Anatomy Practical Exam is where Justin will go in the Anatomy lab with all the dead bodies lying around and each one will be tagged at different parts and he has to identify them. There are also radiographs (x-rays) and CT scans that he has to identify. Above is a picture of the armpit that he had in ONE lecture. ONE!! So imagine if all that is in your armpit – think of other bigger things – like the forearm – it supposedly is very complicated also. Also realize that this was covered in one lecture – meaning he has about three lectures a day so imagine all the stuff he has to know!! So maybe you can get somewhat of an idea of why he studies all the time. I cant believe all of that is in my armpit!! OK – the correct term is “Axilla”. But anyway….
His bigger test – the Mini – is Monday. I cant believe it is already here!! A lot of people told us that the weeks before the Mini would drag on and it seemed like it would never get here. WHATEVER!! Our time here has flown by!
Justin is still having issues with his Hives. It seems to act up whenever he gets in our bedroom. We have tried everything it seems. We’ve washed the sheets, took the mattress pad off, flipped the mattress over, cleaned the fan – everything we can think of!! And nothing is seeming to work.
I hope everyone had a great Valentines Day! I wasn’t able to cook Chicken Cordon Bleu because when I was getting out all the ingredients I realized I used all my bread crumbs on the chicken that I had ruined the night before. So I cooked Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo instead. And Justin cleaned last night for me! It was so nice to wake up and not have dishes to clean! Above are a couple pictures of our Valentines Day. The first is of some strawberry cupcakes that I made yesterday with sprinkles on them. I took some to my landlord and the rest is for us! YUM! And the one below it is of Justin with cupcake all over his face! I was feeding him a cupcake and I just couldn’t resist. I did better yesterday than I did on our wedding day!!

Well, Justin - I will never just look at my armpit the same again. Thanks Elizabeth for explaining to us the BIG PICTURE of Anatomy. We love you - Mom and Dad, Phil. 4:13

Hey Guys,
I hadn't checked the website in a couple of days but I was not disappointed this morning. Ya'll are crazy!!!! The boys LOVE looking at the pictures and me telling them about your adventures. Of course, AnneRiley doesn't need my help. The food prices are so high! I can't believe it. Good luck with the cooking. See you in 10 days.
Love you,
Lawrie
