Ala decorating her cards! Instead of buying baby shower cards, we are asked to write on stationary, either a note to Rachel on motherhood or a note to the baby- such a cute idea!
Arts and Craft on my hotel bed (definitely not as neat as Ala's)- I really don't have an artsy side, but I sure do love to pretend ;)
Final product- our gift to Rachel! We got her a nursery rhymes book, complete with CD, a Disney storybook (a must have in my opinion!), and a picture frame all packed in a pretty pink storage basket!
Gifts everywhere! :)
Not only was this cupcake gluten and dairy free, it was absolutely delicious!! And pretty!

Three Amigas! She's so cute pregnant- love it!
SO much crab!! I was in heaven!
Excited for her crab!
Loving our bibs!!!
On a different note- week 5 of my 5K training starts tomorrow! :) Half way there, it's definitely becoming a little more difficult, but I'm pretty determined to keep going. It's really not so bad. The thought of running is always a bit miserable, and while I'm actually doing it, I pretty much just repeat motivational phrases in my head over and over (hehe), but it's the BEST feeling when I'm done!
And a final note...tomorrow's the day! MCAT scores are released at 5pm, so I will check once I get home. I have a number of thoughts running through my head. I just really don't know what to think. I try to keep them positive, but truthfully, sometimes it's hard. One minute, I envision myself seeing the score and feeling overjoyed. Immediately signing on and hitting submit on my applications (I made the decision to put it off because I cannot fathom spending money if my score is not competitive enough). After, I immediately rip down the three notecards I have stuck up with my "dream" score (1 on my bathroom mirror, 1 at my desk, and 1 on the back of the front door). Then, jump in joy at not having to retake this exam. But, then the next minute, I envision myself seeing my score, feeling extremely disappointed, embarrassed, and unintelligent. Then, finding ways to get my courage back up, so that I can start studying again in the next couple weeks. It's been the constant back and forth in my head this entire month, because I honestly don't know how I feel, one minute I know for a fact I had to improve, but then I think of the questions I missed and passages I didn't know or understand and think, Oh Gosh, I probably did worse.
I have kept my faith in God and believing that everything happens for a reason and I will end up where I am meant to be. It's just hard when I truly, wholeheartedly believe that I'm meant to be a physician and community leader. It's where my passion lies! Anyway, I will go to bed tonight, pray, and no matter what happens, keep my head held high; no matter what, I know that I'm blessed in so many ways :)
Hope everyone had a Happy Monday!! :)
