A Big Day!


Well, it finally happened! I graduated from PA school last Friday! The ceremony was really nice with some great speakers that got us pumped about our future careers. The best part was all my family that came!!  Even my nieces who were celebrating their birthday missed school to come to the graduation. My 3 sets of parents were there and brothers and sisters. It was great. We went out to eat after it all and celebrated the birthday with some cupcakes.

The Reeses took us to Litchfield for the weekend. It was a great retreat and fun time to be with everyone, but we missed Matt and Britt! Scout had his first stay at the kennel and now, of course, he is sick. He started on some antibiotics today. But, for those of you who know Scout, it was about time for him to start on a new medication :)

I still have to take the boards and am in the process of preparing right now. So, I am not totally in the clear.  But I can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel and am so excited about the future that is to come. Please pray for the boards and that I can pass so that I can get this show on the road!!

On another note, Ryan gave me a Tossimo for our anniversary (3 years...we celebrated last week) and graduation. It is the most awesome thing ever and I love it so much! It allows me to make myself a latte right in the middle of studying and not have to leave the house. It really is the best present!

Ok, I have to get back to the books!!!

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a...

Praises!!!!

I found out this morning that I passed the board exam! I am beyond thankful for this blessing. All the time I was studying I was in a cloud of doubt...wondering if the PA profession was right for me, what would I do if I failed, how was I ever going to get through it? But, this process brought me to my knees in new ways. I prayed each day for His strength to bring His work to completion. This was the verse that I would repeat throughout the days of studying and it is so special to me: "You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great." -Psalm 18:35 The Lord answers prayer. This small prayer about helping give me success with the boards to bigger prayers about salvation for our loved ones and healing for those who are sick. We serve a God who hears us....HOW AMAZING!! He stoops down to uphold us in His right hand. Trust in Him today, friends. He IS surely big enough for anything you can lay at His feet. He hears you an...
