Like to hear it? Here it goes.

            To preface my first blog I think it is important to know that writing is not something I consider a personal strength. My wife is an amazing writer. She has so much talent and is very humble about the talent she has been blessed with to write. So if you are following the Kennedy Klan Wonders then it is probably best that you skip my section of the blog.

            Renee and I are approaching 5 months of marriage. Marriage has been fun and at times it is hard to believe that I am married at all. I think it is because it feels so natural to be with Renee.

            School has been great so far. Last semester I took 18 credits and this semester I am taking 16. I am going to try to be more involved with things on campus this semester, I have done a poor job of that so far in my college career. It seems that these past two semesters it has felt like I belong in the classes I am taking. They just feel right. Does that make sense? When I am in my classes I feel like I am preparing for some greater good. I feel the pressure of their workload and difficulty starting to build. The crazy thing is that I look forward to the challenges they will present! I know they are preparing me to be the best ophthalmologist I can possibly be. It is important to note that Renee has shown so much interest in my education and it will be because of the Savior and Renee that I am a successful, productive student.  

            Last semester I had an impression that each assignment I do, every hour of study I put in, every test I take is not just for me. I felt impressed that I am engaged in a refining process that is preparing me to bless the lives I will eventually meet as a medical professional. The Savior was the master healer so I feel that there is no better way to spend a lifetime than striving to help others heal physically and spiritually. I subscribe to the belief that spiritual well-being and physical well-being are perfectly intertwined. 

            The Kennedy Klan Wonders continue as we found out last night that an apartment that we want to move in has become available! We are stoked to be moving into a nicer place and closer to friends!
