January Happenings

This month has gone by sooo fast and we have just been trucking right along. At the beginning of the month I reached the 25 year mark...not really sure how I feel about this! Old man weather has not been kind to us this month. The snow from Christmas week JUST melted this week (finally!). We have had several days and nights of ice and snow. This is lovingly refer to this as a "wintry mix" and is never a phrase I like to hear on the news. As I type this it is snowing again. I actually went shopping today in the snow and didn't think twice about it...does this make me a Yankee? If I was in Mississippi I would have been locked in my house with a weeks supply of water =). Doc of course welcomes any and all snow that comes our way...ha!
Yesterday was a big day for the 2nd year VCOMers because they found out where they would be doing their rotations when 3rd year begins. Some people will even be moving out of the state! We are sad (but excited) for our friends that will be leaving. We are thankful we get to stay here since I love my job and we own our house. It is so hard to believe that med school is half way over! HOORAY! Next week Tyler has the week off so we are going to Kentucky for a few days to get away. We are also going to be able to catch an Ole Miss Basketball game at UK and Tyler is going to meet with the Director of Admissions for the Anesthesia program at UK. This is one of the programs Tyler is looking at for residency so we are just going to check it out. They are also opening up a NEW hospital this year and it's awesome! We have heard it is beautiful there so I'm excited!
In other news....THE SAINTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!! We don't get to catch many Saints games up here in Virginia but we were excited to get to watch them win this big game and move on to the Super Bowl...can't wait!

Until next time...STAY WARM!

We LOVED LOVED LOVED Kentucky! We had an amazing church there (we met there, actually) and as much as we like Alabama, Lexington will always be a home away from home for us. I hope you get to go there! (though I will say it's not any warmer or less snowy!) Oh, and you will love Rupp, though the atmosphere is not so good if you're not a wildcat fan. :)

can you tell I'm a little excited for you?? :)

Hey! :o) Still miss you guys. I know Wesley has been glad to talk to Tyler more lately. I don't know who is more excited about us moving here, him or Wes. ;o) Wish we had some more snow. We had snow for a few days when we first moved up but none since then. Glad all is well with y'all! (hehe, nah, you're not a yankee if you can still say y'all!) Love you!
