Birmingham

Let me begin by telling those of you that don't know, Brandon has decided on going into Emergency Medicine. To be competitive in the residency process, he needed to do a month-long away rotation in EM, so he chose to do his at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, which he just completed last Saturday. While he was there, I decided to go down the weekend of the 15th to visit. That weekend also happened to be the weekend that Brandon's brother Bryce, who lives in Birmingham, had his gym's grand opening. Bryce and his friend, Michael, decided to open a fitness center in Ross Bridge called Drake Fitness after they graduated.

Brandon had to work Saturday morning but fortunately got Saturday night off for the grand opening. The grand opening was Saturday night and turned out to be a huge success! On Sunday, Brandon drove me by the hospital to show me where he had been spending his days/nights. Then we drove around the city a little bit. We ate lunch at the Original Pancake House in Five Points, which was so good (but not as good as Nashville's own Pancake Pantry)!! After that he had to be back at the hospital by three, so Bailey and I headed on home. It was a full weekend, but we had a good time! I was so glad that we were able to be there to see the finished product of all the time and hard work that Bryce has put in to make the gym a success! Enjoy the pictures!

This is the main room

I had to post a picture of the bathroom because I especially love the chandelier!

Is he really the boss?

The only picture of Brandon and I that day!

This is the cute little house that Brandon stayed

at all month. I think Brandon is playing fetch with

Bailey in this picture.

This is where Brandon worked all month on his Emergency Medicine rotation.

New to This!!

I had been telling Brandon for a while now that I wanted to start blogging, but I kept putting it off. I think I was putting it off mainly because he kept telling me that the only people who were blogging were pregnant and those starting families. I continually told him that he was wrong and that he needed to get with it! As I kept putting it off, more and more of my friends began their own blogs, which made Brandon finally realize that I was RIGHT!!

Since we are living here in Memphis away from many of our friends and family, I thought this would be a great way for them to see what's going on in our lives. I am not promising that I will be the best at updating the blog, but I will do my best. Brandon has said that he will contribute to the blog as well. I already have an idea for my next post, but I just have to figure out how to post pictures so just bare with me a little bit.
