Nothing New Here

It has been another long time since my last post but we really haven't been up to much besides our usual routine. Sam, Aubrey and I are all doing great. I'm winding down from my first rotation in my second year of grad school and getting ready for a big change! I think I'm ready for it, but nervous at the same time. I will have to get used to a new hospital and a totally new staff, plus I'll be living in a single dorm room in NYC (the hospital and dorm is in Harlem by they way-I won't be going out after dark) during the week and driving home to Sam and Aubrey in CT on the weekends. NYC is only about 90 miles south of where we live, but the traffic in and out of the city can make the drive much, much longer. I guess all the change of switching rotations helps prepare us for adapting in the work environment. I'm just praying that it will go smoothly for all of us and I know I will miss them like crazy! Oh, and I have started scouring the internet for jobs! So far nothing has really turned up in CO or NE, but I'm still trying to stay positive since it is so early in my search. I am not all that positive about things working out for us to return to Grand Junction like we hoped, but we'll see what happens. A couple of jobs in northern California have peaked my interest, but we're not sure if we want to be that far from our wonderful family!

On a more fun note, we are getting ready to celebrate Aubrey's 2nd birthday coming up on August 15th! I know it's still a few weeks away, but I'm planning for it anyway since I'll be gone in a little over a week. It is so hard to believe that she'll be 2...boy does time fly by!! We don't know what we're going to get her or what type of cake I'll make yet, but I plan on having it all figured out before I go. Did I mention how much I'm going to miss her and Sam while I'm gone!!

Two years ago at this time!

One year ago at this time! (Aubrey wasn't walking yet)
