Birthday's

I was a little bummed this year that Dave would be out of town for my birthday, but at work on Friday the 29th I received FLOWERS from him:) Dave is soooo sweet and it made my day! I seriously had a HUGE smile on my face and could not believe the wonderful surprise!

Me at my office, taking a quick pic of the flowers and my smile!



On Saturday, I woke up to a birthday cold and fever:) Yay.... but Amy and I made it down to Colo Springs to have chili and cake (and yummy caramel apples) with the family. It was nice to see everyone, but I felt awful and just wanted to crawl back into bed. Later that night, Amy threw a little party for me at her apartment and we went out to eat. It was great to see friends, but it was an early night for me to since I needed to get my sicky-butt back into bed. Here is a picture of the ladies at dinner. Thanks for the wine and dinner ladies!




Happy 10th Anniversary of your 21st Birthday Cheez!! I stole that line from Sarah, but thought it was cute. To celebrate Kezia's Birthday, we did a little shopping at Park Meadows and ate dinner at The Cheesecake Factory (Hagiwara's fav).

Best Surprise EVER!!!!

DAVE CAME HOME EARLY AND COMPLETELY SURPRISED ME!!! On Tuesday night, my best friend Amy tricked me and picked Dave up from the airport then 'stopped by' for a minute and out popped DAVE! He was supposed to be back Friday evening, but took his exam early and moved his flight. He decided not to tell me and surprise me instead! It was awesome! I might have cried a little! One month away from you hubby is toooooo long:)

Dayton Update and Interview

Three weeks here in Dayton. It hasn't been too bad, the ER is not super busy or exciting, but it could be worse. Overall I've learned some stuff while I've been here, I've done a lot of reading, and I did see the one neat attraction Dayton has - the National Museum of the USAF. It is a world class museum, full of planes, everything from Wright brothers planes to F-22 Raptors. The even have THE plane that dropped the A-bomb, which I thought was pretty cool.

Today I interviewed in Columbus at The (have to add that) Ohio State University. I actually really liked the program, the residents seemed really happy and the curriculum was one of the best I've seen. If I end up getting a civilian deferred residency slot I'm sure this program will rank high on my list.

This weekend I will be heading back to Columbus to go to an OSU football game with with college roommate, Eric. He is originally from Columbus and we will stay with his parents. It should be a trip to experience big time college football, a stadium of 105,000 packed full of hardcore fans. CSU just didn't have the same intensity. And next week I get to go home, which I am looking forward to.
