Blessings in OKC

Living in Oklahoma City is so different than Provo.  I miss lots of things about Provo: my best friends, my two sisters, BYU football, etc.  But there are so many great things about Oklahoma City, I can't be sad for one minute.  I love living so close to both our parents.  Our ward is the most amazing ward I've ever been in.  Everyone is SO incredibly friendly; I've never met so many friendly people in my life, and I feel so welcomed here.  Sad will be the day when I have to leave this place.  

Last week, I met up with Chelsea (an old friend from high school) for cupcakes.  I haven't talked with her in four years probably, but she lives really close to me.  I loved catching up with her and thinking about how much has happened in the past four years for both of us.  She is adorable, and I had so much fun.

David started anatomy last week.  He LOVES learning about the body, and he talks about different muscles, bones, and blood vessels all the time.  It's cute.  He (and his group) do the dissections together, and he's really enjoyed that.  I'm not sure that I would.  Med school anatomy is tough, but he is so grateful that he took anatomy at BYU (even though he's forgotten a lot).  He feels comfortable memorizing different names and structures, and he isn't afraid to work with the cadaver.  The morning of his first practical quiz, he surprised me by waking me up and saying "Sara, let's go on a breakfast date before I take my quiz."  So we went to McDonalds, and I got my favorite CinnaMelts.  I've been so impressed at how thoughtful David is, and how he makes me a priority.  He's amazing, and I know that he's being blessed for loving and taking care of me.  I've had a couple little breakdowns since his school started, but I've been so completely blessed by God and by David.  There's just not time to be sad when I'm thinking of all my blessings.  And as it turns out, I actually love being the med school wife.
