Time Away

I am noticing a pattern in my blog posting. Anytime Drew and I both have time off (Christmas Break, Spring Break, Summer) I tend to post more often...which is funny because there is often less going on in our lives. I will try to keep you all better updated about the goings-on of our lives.

I just finished up New Student Outreach and am starting the more "routine" season of the year. We actually have about 7 weeks left in the semester for InterVarsity. So I will be brainstorming and vision casting with the students here at A&M (Asian American InterVarsity) and Austin College to get clear, attainable, plans in place and Lord willing accomplished before December 1st.

Drew just finished his third section (of four) for his Basic Block. He had a test on Monday and we were able to enjoy a nice date night together for the first time in a while. We had been getting quality time together, but it was nice to have the space of several hours without any pressure to go home and study at the end of our time together. :) We rented Wolverine (no, we had not seen it yet) and then went out to eat. I got sushi take-out from Atami and then we walked over to Pei-Wei (I snuck my sushi in) and ate there. I really enjoy cooking, but we both really enjoyed ignoring the cleaning we needed to do in the kitchen and reveling in being affluent Americans with food from around the world made in minutes and the table cleaned for us. :)

Drew is starting the last section of his Basic Block. After that he gets to start in on more Systems based blocks - like Respiratory and Cardiovascular systems; which are more enjoyable and interesting to him. So we are both looking forward to that. We also have an added insentive to get through this last section because when he takes his test in 2 1/2 weeks he gets a 3 day weekend. Yippee!
