I think God has been trying to teach me patience and grace lately. I get my self-righteousness from my family (my parents raised us up like that) and bad habits like my stubborness and my not being able to admit I'm wrong at times from family models too (its an unspoken rule that no one says they're sorry in my family). If parents don't model it, don't expect the kids to pick it up. My brother picked up the same characteristics from our family too. It makes me hope that Priscilla won't end up the same messed up way we all did. Anyways, these revelations came up from CY calling me last night, and we chatted for awhile... I was glad she called. I was meaning to check up on her sometime this week, but she beat me to it. I'm glad it sounds like she's doing alot better these days. Healing isn't always instant, but little steps here and there do add up later on.
Wayne slept in today and went to class around noon. When he comes back, we'll grab a quick bite to eat, and then head off to Lina's with Mike. I'm a little excited about tonight (a Christmas production at a church). My family used to annual attend a Christmas production at First Baptist in Los Altos every year... it was almost a tradition. It was back in the days when Danny and I would recognize some of the choir members each year, and occasionally be really immature and make fun of how they look when they sing. But that was long time ago. Priscilla was a baby back then.
Last night I spent some time talking to Audrey... seeing how she and Chris are doing, and how the wedding planning and such are coming along. They are doing something really similar to what we did -- getting married right after med school graduation, and right before residency starts. I gave her a bit of my input on how I cope with being married to a resident, and also a tidbit on how Wayne and I try to support each other and understand each other despite the difficulties of not being around as much. It's tough... especially for newlyweds. But I think they're glad to know another couple and bounce stuff off of us. They brought us persimmons (last time they stayed over, they brought over Ghiradelli's chocolate -- YUM). I know they are trying to be polite and nice, but gosh. They don't have to go out of their way to purchase us gifts everytime they visit. That can get costly. But the chocolate was very nice. Heheh.
Today I'm doing laundry and redoing my formatting. Man I hate this.... [grumbing]
Anyways, enough grumbling... err... rambling, I mean. Back to work...
