The Long Anticipated Video

Here you go! Josh has recently started to walk. He gets a little lazy sometimes and wants to just sit down, but he can walk (usually when his dad forces him to). I don't think he's totally realized that walking is faster than crawling though.



He also has learned to blow on things, which is kinda funny. I made him eggs yesterday, and I was trying to cool them down by blowing on them. He thought it was funny, so he picked up some of the egg and blew on it himself. He then held it up for me and waited for me to blow on it. He got the biggest kick out of that!

Josh also has an obsession with putting lids on everything. He must have great perceptual ability, as he can always figure out which way it is supposed to go on. Maybe he'll become a dentist too!?

As for me, I am almost done with my first year of dental school. What a great feeling it is. I can't believe how fast this first year has gone by. Next Friday is the last day for me, and I only have 6 hours of tests on that one day. It's like taking the DAT all over again. Ughhh...

Katie and I have also decided to apply for a scholarship with the Army. If I get it, they will pay for the next 3 years of my schooling, as well as give us a monthly stipend to live off of. We will then owe them 3 years to pay back for the scholarship. It also gives me a great opportunity to specialize, if I decide that's the route I want to take. Looks like it'll be a few more years before we settle down back in the West.

Katie is doing an amazing job raising Josh as well (yes she is watching me type this). As Young Women's president, she is often away at activities, leaving me and Josh to hang out by ourselves. While she's only gone for a few hours at a time, it makes me realize how hard she works here at home. I get absolutely nothing done while she is gone. All Josh and I can do by ourselves is play the Wii, eat, read, and take naps. It's very draining!
