Baby Sister's Birthday

On September 5th, 1989 God gave Elizabeth and me our baby sister, Erin. 21 years later she is still our same little Poochie that we love more than anything.

The older we have gotten the more of a best friend she has become....
....therefore when she turned 21 I knew I had to get to Birmingham.
Looking back I cannot believe I pulled it off but I was able to surprise her with the help of my sweet sister-in- laws, M'Leigh and Amy. I had so much fun getting to spend time with her and all of her friends!

Getting ready to go to her Birthday Dinner at Cocina

I could have not asked for a better weekend and am so glad I got to go visit her!

Welcome Back

Last time I blogged Summer was just beginning, John wasn't a practicing physician just yet, I was 100% jobless, oh and I had a tan. My how things have changed : ). I know this Summer I have really slacked on my blogging (and picture taking), but as of now I plan on being more prompt with my posting(s). Let me catch you up a little bit...

1. John is now a first year intern and loving every minute of it (well most minutes). He loves the people in his program and gets to work with some really great doctors. One of the most exciting things about his year so far is the opportunity he has been given to be a team doctor to a local high school football team. He and two other guys from his program cover an awesome team who is actually really good this year. The games are a lot of fun even for me because I get to stand on the sidelines with him. Although this sounds kind of gross to me, last week he got to pop a player's shoulder back in place.....apparently this is something very cool to do. With all his busyness this year he has still managed to pickup a new hobby: cooking. He made jumbylya the other night which was really good, however probably the best thing he made were these chocolate chip cookies. I mean they were so good I had to take pictures...

2. I now have a job! I am a full time nanny to two precious children named Ben and Naia. Ben is 5 years old and is a kindergartner this year, and his little sister Naia is 17 months old. Their parents are so kind and great people to work for! I'll try to post some pictures soon of the kids.

Overall both of us have been very blessed to have such a great transition to Winston-Salem and are excited about our year ahead of us : )
