I am so bored!

I am really think I function better with stress. I am currently on a one month rotation where there is no call, no weekends, 8-4 schedule and I am getting absolutely NOTHING done! And, I am currently really bored since Aaron is up in MN for the past 10 days. I planned on using this month to study for my mock oral boards...Rather, I am watching Soap operas and way too much TV. One good thing...I am back to running! I am going to sign up for a few races in MN when we fly home. Anyone interested?
The movers came this morning for our "pre-move assessment" It is getting so close! Only 4 more weeks until I graduate!!
Well, I sat down with a bunch of things to write and now I can not remember them....

This should be easier

Well, after much frustration of trying to post photos to the Mac web page, I have decided to switch to blogger. In addition, in order to update our Mac page, I had to do so via our computer, which will be problematic when we are without it for two months when they pack it.
Only 6 more weeks until I graduate!!!! I am so excited to resume a somewhat normal life...although I think I forgot what that is. I will be nice to finally be a wife to my husband since I have been absentee for the past four years of my residency. I am already making a list of what I want to do: start a book club, get involved in church, run more half marathons, have some kids, etc...Oh, I guess I better add "Study for my board exams" on there.
We are getting very excited for our move to England. The hardest part has been finding a new home for our "baby", Aspen. We got her the year we got married and we struggled with what to do with her. She does not do well on car rides...let alone a 10 hour flight...and then we would have to board her everytime we traveled in Europe/UK/USA...So, we gave her to the daughter of one of my staff. Even though I miss her terribly, I know she is in a good home. Here is a photo of Aaron, Aspen, and I with her new owner.

We have booked our movers. They are doing the first part of our packing/moving on Jun 4th (a majority of our household goods). This will be shipped via boat and will take approximately two months to arrive in England. The second shipment will consist of more essential items and will be packed on Jun 18th. This will be shipped via plane and will arrive in 1 month. We will be moving onto base Jun 18th until we fly to MN on 1 July. Then we fly to England a few weeks later....then the Fun begins.
And, some more news...my sister Brittany will be moving to England with us! She will not arrive until the end of Aug. Hopefully we will have a house by then. It will be nice having more family over there.
