March 21st-28th

We had a wonderful spring break! The first half we relaxed at home having dinner with friends and playing with Richard non stop. On Wednesday we drove up to Seattle and stayed at my aunt Susans house. Its always fun there, good food, beautiful family, and a fun Lucky dog that Tilly just adores. We headed out early the next day to catch the ferry to Ocas Island. Once there we drove the rest of the way to Doe Bay and checked in to our sweet little cabin. It was a little rainy that day so we just relaxed in door, met most our friends at the kitchen and shared a good meal. Friday we went for several nice walks around doe bay, Tilly loves the outdoors and we tried to keep up with her on all the paths through the woods. We had such a nice meal at the cafe there before Richards band played. We even celebrated his and our friend Allison's 30th birthday with some yummy cake. The band was wonderful, Tilly and I had to blow a kiss to Richard and head to bed after a few songs. Saturday we explored the island, heading to the top of Mt. Constitution, to a few lakes and in to town. We had a little lunch there in east bank then headed back for nap time. After a refreashing nap we went to the soaking tups and relaxed in the nice warm water. We shared another meal with all our friends by the fire and Tilly tried her first ever smore!! She loved it of course! Sunday we packed up and waved bye bye to the water. The drive home was alright, seemed very long but it was Richards birthday so had a good time. :) Its good to be home but that was such a wonderful vacation.

 

March 7th-20th

I will have to recap the past 2 weeks together since I've been slacking on my blogging. 

The 10th- 14th Richard went to LA for a national AMSA (american medical student assoc) conference. He presented a poster for his VACUUM (Voices And Concerns of the Uninsured & Underinsured Millions) video project that won first place in the community service projects division! He was also appointed to the national Health Care For All committee.  It was no fun having him gone but Tilly and I stayed busy. We went out each day, met with friends, went to story time, and went on lots of walks. On Sunday Richard was going to get in at 9pm so I took Tilly to the children's museum and then just because it was right next door we went to the zoo. She LOVED the goats, we could have stayed there all day. We got back home around 2 and found a tinkerbell in her bed!! Richard got home early and surprised us, it was so much fun!! 

The next week was so fun and flew by. We had Moses over on tuesday and had tons of fun. St. Patty's day Tilly and I both came down with a cold but it didn't stop us from dressing in all green :) We made a yummy marshmallow cake for Richard's small group PCM class and since he had so many meetings that day we delivered it to the classroom. Match day was the 18th, where the 4th years find out where they will go for residency. I can't wait for Richards turn.. 3 years to go!! Richard was studying in all his free time throughout the week for his SPH exam on the 19th. We had Krisanna and David over that night for dinner to say Bon Voyage before they headed to Paris for spring break. Saturday we went to the opening of the farmers market, Tilly had a great time people and doggie watching, and we had a great time getting all of our groceries. 

What a great 2 weeks! This week will be even better I'm sure, Richard didn't even look at his email for a whole day- thats huge! (he had like 100 when he finally checked).

Feb 28th- March 6th

This was a crazy fun week! Monday Richard had his SPH exam in the morning, a meeting in the afternoon, and came home and took Tilly and me to the children's museum where we had almost the whole place to ourselves. Tilly took to painting her face and loved running around.

The rest of the week it was so beautiful outside, we walked to our neighbor's house most days and point out the different color flowers and the statue of a bunny that is on the hill. We had an amazing meal at Krisanna's on Thursday night while Richard was at his Health care reform elective. In the morning on Friday Tilly and I went to the Children's museum with Krisanna and Miles, we ran into a few friends while we were there so it was even more fun! Friday night was PROM!! We had Jami over to sit with T while she slept so she came over early for dinner and to play. We headed to Krisanna's and David's to take our pre-prom pictures, then on to the Jupiter Hotel, where many of Richard's classmates had gathered to celebrate. We had a wonderful time!
