Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I believe the high for today was 19 degrees and last night it got down to 7! It has been snowing here for the past two days and been very cold. There is ice everywhere and it's not melting! This is pretty extreme for me. The cars actually get icicles on the bumpers and undercarriage and they don't melt all day. So you drive around with icicles hanging off of your car, hahaha!

Jeff had a fun adventure last Sunday. His boss took him pheasant hunting out on the Big Horn River. It was a quite an experience for Jeff even though he came home empty handed. He is hooked now and wants to do more. We're truly soaking up the Montana lifestyle. It's a fun adventure.

As for me, I have one more week left of this semester. I had my physical assessment final yesterday which entailed performing a complete history and physical on a hired patient. It went really well. I was so nervous before, but then as soon as I got in the room I calmed down and just did my thing. One of the guys in my class knew my patient and she told him later that I did very well and had great bedside manner. So that was encouraging. Now I just have to get through my three finals next week and I get a three week break. Yeah!

Well we hope all is well with everyone. Miss you lots!

Love, Jennifer

Happy Thanksgiving!

We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for!

Hope your day was enjoyable.

We love and miss you all,
Jeff and Jennifer

Time Flies...

when you are having fun!

I can't believe it is November already. Time is going so fast. There is not a lot new around here. But just thought I would say hello.

We are starting to learn endocrinology (diabetes and thyroid disorders are the two biggest things) this week, which is a big part of family practice. So it is fun to really learn the meat of what we will be treating. Our schedule has been altered a little, but for the better. Our faculty is constantly making changes and bettering our program. We now have a radiology lab on Tuesdays. The past two weeks we have learned to read chest xrays. Really cool! And then on Friday afternoons (no more free time!) we have FLEX learning which is just clinically applying the stuff we've learned. We have been taking patient histories and we each get a chance to dictate the note into the little recorder thing. You know like you see on TV, "51 year old male, presents with..." This is the real deal, it's so fun!

Jeff is doing well. Continuing to work like crazy. As mom says, "gotta make hay while the sun's shining!" They have a big job at the Exxon Mobile distribution plant. It's high profile!

And the dogs are...well spoiled rotten and crazy!

So we hope everything is going well for all of you.

Love and miss you, Jennifer
