High Five for Friday

Well guys, this has been quite the week!  My summer session has officially started and nearly worn me out. I got a little used to relaxing in a cozy hotel bed until about 10am each morning last week.

1. This summer I get to ditch the books and focus on patient care. I (along with my classmates) will have Primary Eye Care clinic, optical, community eye care, and vision therapy. My favorite so far was working with the kids in vision therapy. This helps kids with different problems, like eye turns or lazy eyes or focusing problems retrain their eye systems to strengthen their eyes enough to fix their problem. Some kids (or parents) start noticing problems when they start school or learn to read and they can't keep their place on the page, wind up hating to read, which can lead to problems in school, and often lead to behavioral issues. But really their original problem was that their eyes just can't do it. So 12-15 weeks of vision therapy can really change the lives of these kids, which is amazing!  

2. Jesse made it home from Pennsylvania Friday! So happy to have him back, as usual.

3. Wednesday was our 3rd wedding anniversary. Although we were miles apart he still sent me flowers to celebrate our special day.

4. After a week away and previous weeks of studying for finals, I finally made it back to community group and Dave Ramsey group this past week, which was wonderful to hang out with friends and talk Jesus and finances.

5. I also came home this week to a couple if post cards from my cousin, Carissa. She is venturing through Austria ans France with her job this summer. Definitely the opportunity of a lifetime, and I'm really glad she took it!
