So, things have been moving along. The little man is beginning to raise his head a little more each time during "tummy time." He's still easy to please and only really gets cranky between 5pm and 8pm...not surprisingly, this is bed time for him.
So I got admitted to Missouri University of Science and Technology last week. This is my backup plan to med school, assuming I don't get an acceptance. The backup plan is to finish my Chemistry degree within a year and start looking for a related job during that last semester before graduation. There are still a lot of details to iron out, but the search for scholarships has already begun. Oy!
In other news, I now jog once a week. It's spaced that far apart because of how my schedule works out with the little guy. I'm in not as great a shape as I would prefer, but considering how little exercise I've gotten the past half year, I'm not complaining about my baseline. Once the babe gets a little older, I'll start jogging with him in the stroller. I have the option of doing this indoors already, but I'm a little timid about it.
With Christmas around the corner, I was able to finish J's present. It's a loom she saw on Pinterest. I was able to get half of the lumber for free. The other half with the hardware cost me just under $20. That also includes hardware for another project that got tabled for later. It's my first loom, but I was able to work on it during the little guy's naps. Honestly, it was nice to work on it consistently for several days, only an hour or so each day. I got to see it get slowly put together, and there's just something about seeing a physical project materialize from your own two hands. Next time, I'll take pictures and put together a little DIY instruction...should I have the time and the motivation. Boy, a drill press would have been nice for this, but I won't even think of getting one until I do another project like this.
This is likely my last post of the year. I hope all of you have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Glad to hear you are doing well. You need to find a soccer team! That will get you into shape. Maybe a Burrito Union reunion could be in the future!
Yes pulling the glute was not fun. Hurt to go up and down stairs and definitely couldn't run for 6 weeks. It was a combo of stretching, physio, and rest that now makes training pain free. Well there is the other type of pain, but nothing I can't push aside.
We hope the new year holds many blessings and great adventures for you and your family. Jack's progress will be so fun to watch.
Seriously lacking an update in the last couple of months. What is new with the boy? What is going on with you school situation?
