For the past couple of months, and even more intensely the past couple of weeks, John has been studying for the GMAT (the entrance exam for MBA schools) which he takes TOMORROW!! His nights have been spent taking practice quizes on the computer, or studing from one of his numerous books. He has also been taking 4 hour practice tests every Saturday for the last couple of weeks. Throughout this process, I have tried to play the role of "supportive and loving wife", but I have to admit sometimes it has been hard. Of course I love Makenna more than anything, but sometimes I just need a break, and those have been harder to come by since John needs to study more than I "need" a break.
However, last Saturday we were both able to get a break from our normal routines, and go wakeboarding at my parent's lake. It was only my second time wakeboarding, so I am still quite shaky, but I did get up, and even went outside of the wake. (I know that probably sounds rediculous to some people, but I was excited.) My sister Amanda was in town, visiting from Utah, so we hung out at my parent's house all day watching football and in John's case taking long naps.
(I should note that while I have been typing this post, John has been playing with Makenna, and is now giving her a bath even though his test is tomorrow...I have a pretty good husband!)

Good luck John! (He's got a pretty good wife too!!!) We'll say a prayer for your sweet family :)
what a great husband!! Well I hope John does WELL (and he will since it sounds like he's been studying like CRAZY!) That is pretty much how it's going to be for the next three years since we are in LAW SCHOOL (ahhh!!!) hee hee! So far so good:) BUt yes, I'm with you on the breaks! I LOVE Carden and I love holding him, but every once in awhile I need a break!!
Good luck John, you'll do great! I loved seeing you guys in Omaha, can't wait until you make it out here.
I've always wanted to wakeboard! It looks so fun and hard, too so I'm amazed by you :)
Good luck, Johny boy! You'll do great!
I can totally relate to this! Thomas studied for the DAT pretty much all of last Winter semester for hours everyday, with long tests every Saturday. That in combination with PAC and school meant Thomas had little time for me. It was so frustrating and I didn't even have a child! Best of luck to you guys... A bunch of us were talking about you two last night at Ben and Megan Watson's reception. We miss you!
amber-that sounds like so much fun! I hope the GMAT went well. what a great adventure. let us know if you are interested in the simon school. they are always asking for referrals from chris since we are still in the area. he knows people...
