Caduceus Ball

Last Saturday night, Brandon and I went to the Caduceus Ball at the Cadre Building downtown. It is a way for the school to honor the M4 class with a wonderful dinner, awards, and a lot of dancing (which was extremely entertaining)!

The theme of the night was the "Roaring 20's"

We enjoyed spending time with all our friends. I can't believe this year is finally coming to an end. We are going to miss everyone so much.

Last, but not least, let me just tell you....I have to best husband ever!! I bought this dress the day of the Ball and the clasp on the back was falling off. While I was getting ready, he sewed it back on for me! Isn't this the cutest picture? Well, I think so!

Match Day

So today was Match Day for all of us in medical school--a day which brings much excitement as well as apprehension for medical students across the nation. Our ceremony was located at the Pink Palace here in Memphis and was very informal compared to that of many other schools. The culmination of the event is the receiving of the sacred envelope which contains a piece of paper. Printed on this paper is the name of the program with which the student has "matched" and will be attending for the duration of his or her residency.

Well, I found out today that I matched with the UAB Department of Emergency Medicine! I was very excited to have found out this information and to have been able to share this day with Meaghan and my friends. Meaghan and I are thrilled to be moving to Birmingham and are very excited about the next few months as we prepare to move. Enjoy the photos below which documented the day.

Catching Up

Since getting back from Colorado, we have had something going on every weekend. We got back from Colorado on Sunday and then the following Thursday I left for Oklahoma with the family I work for. Keith's (Carter and Connor's dad) youngest daughter Jessica, was getting married and Carter was the ring bearer. They asked me to go with them to help out with the boys. They looked adorable in their tuxes! Carter had a blast at the wedding...I even think he made a girlfriend in the little flower girl! The followed each other around the entire time! Here are some pictures of the boys in their tuxes......

After the wedding, both boys crashed!

I think Bailey missed me while I was gone!

Last weekend one of our good friends, Russ came in town to hang out. We devoted the entire weekend to hanging out and having fun like old times with James and Elizabeth, Craig and Anna, and James and Jennifer! Russ brought Rock Band, which he had just bought and was so excited to introduce to the guys! I would say Rock Band is what we did the majority of the weekend. In between playing Rock Band, the guys were able to squeeze in time for lunch at Central BBQ, on Saturday, and then they met us girls at Jerry's for snow cones. That night, James and Elizabeth made some awesome burgers at their place for everyone and then, of course, more Rock Band! We had so much fun all weekend. Unfortunately, Heather had to work on Saturday, so she wasn't able to come. Heather, we missed you and told Russ he has to bring you back next time he comes in town!



This week is going to be an exciting, yet nerve-racking week for us! Tomorrow Brandon will receive an email saying whether or not he has matched. Then Thursday is Match Day!! I have taken the day off so that I can be there to see Brandon open his envelope. I can't even describe the feeling of not knowing. I cannot stand that feeling and am so glad the wait is almost over.
