Living out of suitcases

Well, after a whirlwind weekend, we have moved back into base housing...week three of living out of suitcases. We had such a good time last weekend. My parents, two of my sisters (hilary and brittany), Mother-in-law, cousin Rachel, and friend Maria, flew in to celebrate my graduation. We all stayed at the Embassy Suites and ate and drank way too much!!
Here is a picture of me and the other two chiefs (brendan and george) in our Service Dress (Class A) Uniform at graduation.

Aaron and I are excited that this chapter of our lives is completed and look forward to spending more time together! We look forward to seeing y'all. Both of our parents are planning going away parties on the 7th and 21st of July, so let us know if you are available.
Well, my 20 minutes are up on this computer in the hotel lobby. We will be flying home on the 1st and look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Graduation Dinner

Last night was the graduation dinner at Paesanos. It was a bittersweet dinner since it marks my transition from resident to oral surgeon.
Here is a picture of me with George and Brendan at Paesanos

We tried to get a group photo, but multiple people were taking a picture at once so it was hard to get one with everyone looking at the camera.
After the dinner we went to a bar...where I had a few too many martinis. Here is a photo of some of the women I became friends with during our four years in San Antonio. Shannon (on the far right) was in the residency with me and the others are wives of residents.


The official graduation is on Thursday at 5pm...and, because I happen to be the last graduate to walk across the stage, I have to salute the General! But, it will be a fun celebration and will be nice to see most of my family, Peggy, my cousin Rachel, and our friend Maria.

Well, we are moving onto base housing tonight and I have a ton of stuff to organize before the movers come for our final stuff tomorrow morning. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks.

I am the luckiest woman alive!

Last weekend Aaron and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. Here is what I came home to after work on friday....

I could not have asked for a more supportive husband for the past 5 years. He has kept me grounded during my residency and really has shown me what is important in life; He is driven by life's simple things rather than money; Always knows how to make me laugh; I look forward to him being a father...something I know he will be incredible at; I could never repay him for all that he has given up to support my career in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Here is us last weekend at The Melting Pot (a fondue resturaunt)--we celebrated our anniversary a few days early since I was on call during our actual one..


Well, they are here moving our household belongings to England today. I will post some pictures of the insanity soon.
