Passing the test

Bob finished up one course that he is very happy to be done with, Endo/Repro! He passed the test on Friday so that meant he had a practically free weekend. We were both very excited for that to come. Although Bob did not have a class to study for he was able to get in a few hours or studying for that wonderful test in June. As you can see, a little over 3 months and we are under the 100 day mark as well. Don't worry baby, I know you can do it.

On Friday afternoon Bob and I also found out we "passed" another "test". We met with Marcia, the Med School Chaplain, who is working with us on Catholic Marriage Prep. We both are very excited we are doing this with her, instead of a priest or someone who has no idea what the medical profession is like. We sat down with her and talked a little about wedding planning, but more about marriage planning-what I am really into. One thing that stood out to me is that the national average of divorce rate is 50%, the physician divorce rate is 60%. Bob and I are going into this saying we are going to be in that 40%, and I think talking about it is the first step, huh? We then started going over our FOCUS inventory test that we took the day after Christmas in St. Paul. The results were sent to Marcia where we will meet with her a few times and go over some of the issues that we did not agree on, or that we did not pick the preferred answer of the church. Marcia said we did pretty well. In the different categories we ranged from 100%, 91% and some 80%. We did receive a 50% in the religion category-like no duh we knew that was going to happen. We went through this category in depth with Marcia. Like I said we were both so glad she wasn't a priest, because it was easier to talk about Bob and my differences in views and be able to say what we wanted without feeling like we were going against the churches teachings. We both know this is going to be a learning experience for both of us as it already has, but we will continue to grow together. I look forward to our next time we meet with Marcia.
