I can't believe its been about 2 months since my last post, I guess that speaks for how crazy these last few months have been. To start, I graduated and passed the nursing boards back in October, yay! It's so great to finally be finished with all the studying and late nights! As for Husband, he has been busy on away rotations, auditioning for residency which will begin this summer. Despite all the craziness, things seem to be falling into place just perfectly.
Sister and her fiance bought a house, talk about exciting, and we went over to visit as they prepare for all the renovations. Near their house are perhaps the most delicious homemade donuts that come in little bite size pieces (aka you can eat a couple and justify that you only ate one full size donut. it's trouble) We also went on a double date later that night to see the premiere of Breaking Dawn. And last but not least, we watched our neighbors dog for the night and Bella loved having a puppy friend around to play with. Maybe we should get another dog?? :)
Husband and I took a trip out to Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago for a residency interview. I actually ended up really enjoying this city despite the distance that we could potentially be from our friends and families. We walked around University of Pittsburgh, ate at the famous Primanti Brothers, and rode the incline, which led to a great view of the city.
While Husband interviewed on Monday, I walked around the Strip District, which is rows and rows of little shops and cafes. I can imagine how busy that place must get on the weekends and during warmer weather. My favorite places ended up being this cute little diner pictured above, the homemade Pittsburgh popcorn, and of course more homemade donuts!
Perhaps the most exciting update from the past few months, is the birth of my cousin's sweet little girl, Emerson Kay. I was so thankful we were able to be home and visit her sweet little family in the hospital with the rest of my cousins and family. Emmy is the sweetest little baby around!
And the last of the updates, includes opening day of hunting season from this past Monday. Husband looks forward to this day every year, where we head back to his home and take part in the yearly tradition. The tradition includes waking up early, prepping the tree stands, wearing orange and camo, spending time in the warm cozy shack they built in their field, and preparing breakfast for the men as they take a mid-afternoon break. No luck this year, but still some good times!
