Residency Update

The last time I updated you on Brandon's residency progress, I believe he had just applied to about twenty-two programs. Since then, he heard back from all but three programs. We had heard to expect to hear back from about half of the programs, so I am proud of him! He accepted fourteen of the invites. Fourteen....holy cow!! That means from now until January he will be driving/flying to fourteen different cities and interviewing with these places. This week alone he drove to St. Louis, Louisville, Lexington, and Indianapolis! Yes, that's four interviews in one week! He seemed to be very pleased with how the interviews went. Four down, ten to go! That still sounds like a lot! He gets home tonight and I know will probably crash the rest of the weekend. He took next week off to enjoy a long, well deserved, Thanksgiving break.

We look forward to next week, as we are planning on going to Nashville Wednesday night and spending the long weekend there with our family for Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a wonderful time with their families and has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Race for the Cure and Halloween

Over Halloween weekend my mother, aunt, and two cousins came in town for a visit. On Saturday, we participated in Race for the Cure, which means a lot to our family. I am proud to say that my mother is a breast cancer survivor!! She is going on 10 years this coming March! Since Saturday was also Halloween, we took the kids and Bailey trick or treating on Mud Island. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend! Everytime I spend time with family, I realize how much I miss them.


Brandon ran the race

Bailey was a cowgirl for Halloween, but she did not like her hat!

Brandon tried to show her how to wear it.

It worked for mmm....a minute!

Happy Halloween!

October at a Glance

I have to apologize for being so bad this past month at blogging. October flew by, and I feel like this is the first chance I have had to sit down and post. We have had a very busy October! I will let you see for yourself what we have been up to this month!

The first weekend in October, one of my very best friends, Betsy, came in town to visit. We always look forward to spending time and catching up with her. We had a great time!

Of course, we had to take her to our favorite cupcake place, Muddy's!

Betsy met Rylan for the first time!!

The following weekend we went to Nashville for a wedding and to see friends and family. We went to lunch with Jenny and Owen on Saturday at Baja Burrito!! We miss them so much and are so glad that we were able to spend some time catching up with them.

Our Pumpkin!

The whole gang!

There is a rock wall at UT that we have been saying we need to try one weekend for the past year. Since our time in Memphis is beginning to become limited, we decided to go a few weeks ago. Jason, who is in Brandon's class, along with his wife, Brittney went with us. We had a great time, although we paid for it the next day!



Carter was Cookie Monster for Halloween

Sweet Connor was a Chocolate Chip Cookie

I don't have a picture of the costume, but it was really cute!!

Brandon and I were trying to take a picture of the two of us and then......
