making a list and checking it twice

There has been a TON going on (or so it seems) with Jake and me the past few weeks! To keep you in the loop, I've listed the things we've checked off so to speak. I know it isn't a lot for you to read, but it was a lot for us to do in the past couple of days. Enjoy and I'll post something more entertaining soon!

1. Jake started work @ Sentara this past Monday.
2. We've started making arrangements to pick up Tank/Samson/Dotson during fourth of July weekend.
3. I went with my mom to take care of just about all the graduation party needs... the beer is Jake's job.
4. I decided to join the YMCA and keep up with my spin obsession.
5. Bunco took place this past Wednesday at Dani's house and I didn't win a thing, not even most losses.
6. Jake started and finished the MS 2 day bike challenge last weekend & I cuddled with Boomer (our favorite Boston Terrier to dogsit) in his absence.
7. I bought a new bathing suit with not exactly perfect matching bottoms- this is a first for me, although I feel like it's becoming a trend.
8. I almost got a speeding ticket.
9. Jake and I tried HK on the Bay and had some awesome seafood (this is blogworthy because we never go out for dinner).
10. Jake finally took his PT boards today!
11. And most importantly, I purchased my ticket for the Eclipse midnight movie premiere!!!

I believe congratulations are in order

Today marks the day we've all been waiting for- Jake graduated and is officially a Doctor of Physical Therapy, woop woop!!! I can't believe he is really finished with school...for a while the road to graduation seemed never ending, but he made it and is certainly enjoying being done.

I am also happy to note that he has already taken a job with Sentara in the Hilltop area of VB doing outpatient rehab and starts June 7th!!! The break between now and then is well deserved and actually needed so he can prepare for his VA boards the first week of June. Corny or not, I am really proud of him and this huge accomplishment.

I'm still not used to everyone playfully referring to him as "doctor" and I don't know that I ever will be, but he's earned it. My Papa decided all of a sudden to start calling him Doc from now on...he thinks he is clever and Jake certainly had no complaints.
