So here are some of the things that have happened since my last post:
I went to Kentucky and saw these great people:
I stayed at with Bethan and Brandon and spent some time with my cousin Daniel, his wife Joy, and their baby Reid. It was a time of sweet fellowship and lots of laughs. I even got to go to the famous Monday Night Dinner at Beth and Lee Wilsons house and let me just say Lee was not lying about how good Beth's cooking is. It was incredible. We also ate at this fun restaurant with lots of stuff to pose with, which we of course took full advantage of.
Oh how I love these two.
I accomplished my goal of stealing baby Reid for a good portion of the week.
Then I went to Nashville! I went to see my dear friend Allison from highschool.
Where Allison at in this picture? The Parthenon. No joke. A life-size replica of the Parthenon is right in the middle of Nashville. See for yourself.
Back here in Texas, Lauren Shary became Mrs. Colin Miles!
Here are some of us girls that were in the wedding. Notice what cruelty she made us wear on our heads. Only for you, Lauren... only for you.
It was such a fun wedding and we had some amazing girl time beforehand. I miss you girls!
Since then I finished out my first year of school and had a great week off to rest and fellowship. I spent a few days in Houston with my family and then headed off to College Station to see my other family before things get crazy here.
I stayed with this sweet girl
We went to It's A Grind, where I got to see the Chad, the Smith family, and meet the Bacaks for the first time! Now I can legitimately blog-stalk them and not just pretend like I know them. Rusty and I talked about him perhaps needing a PA in a year in a half so maybe I'll get to come back to my beloved College Station afterall. We'll see :)
Ashley and I went to La Bodega (mmm cilantro lime sauce), church, and Blue Baker all in one day. It was fabulous.
I also got to check out the new Hendrick house which is, let me just say, incredible. It has these great high ceilings, storage everywhere, and great paint colors. It already looks like they've lived there forever. Just perfect.
Anson always gives me a hug when I come over, but on Saturday night after church he yelled my name and ran over to give me another hug. It made me miss those crazy kids so much! Hayden doesn't even ask me "you got your camera?" anymore. I seriously need to come back before they all forget who I am and how great my peanut butter cookies are.
My whole time in College Station was so refreshing. In so many ways, it is still home to me, and I struggle so much with finding community here. My church is an hour away and my schedule will be nuts starting tomorrow. Please pray that I can find fellowship here in Galveston.
Well, I think that pretty much brings you up to speed.
Tomorrow is my first day of rotations, and I'm starting on OB/GYN here in Galveston. I have a feeling after a few days of waking up crazy early and frantically trying to remember what to do this is what I'm going to be feeling like:
The gingerbread snowman, not me.
Anyway, I'm sure lots of insane stories will be taking place over the next few months so I will do my best to post them for your reading enjoyment.
Other posts coming soon:
-Virtual tour of the LD house
-The story of Marco Polo - the neighbor, not the explorer. I'm trying to get a picture of him for you that doesn't involve me
getting harrassed by him... this could be interesting.
Love you guys!

There's no forgetting the peanut butter cookies!
In fact, I was quite disappointed that there were no cookies associated with your most recent visit.
[sigh]

So here's the deal...like, a real "deal", or shall we say, a contract?
If you promise to actually update your blog, I will put you on the blogroll. I put people's blogs on the roll that update often.
So, if you'll promise me - since I know you are a thinker - to update your blog once a week, not just with current events, but with things you are learning and thinking about - things about Jesus that are moving your soul....
...consider yourself added. Just once a week. You could even be a weekend blogger and this contract would work out.
What do you say LD? C'mon, I know you want to....
