One more

A good workout = pulling 2 kids on a sled up hill over and over and over again!

I was wondering why the right side of my upper back was hurting this morning until I started pulling kids around in the snow now for day #2!

A.M.

7:30 a.m. start time + 1 good friend + 2 cute dogs + lots of fresh snow + snowshoes + walking where we wouldn't normally go= fun times, great memories, 1 friend that now likes snowshoeing, and a great early morning workout

Cute

Just a fun picture to leave you with today. A VERY large portion of my day to day life is spent with these two and I LOVE it!

Rotations

We have reached a big milestone in med school...rotation assignments. We found out on Monday that we will be staying right here in Blacksburg. Kurt will have all his rotations in a 30 mile radius of here which means he won't have to leave me for whole weeks at a time! I am thankful for that! When we were getting to put down our requests for rotations regions part of me wanted to go to a new place for a new adventure but the more realistic side of me wanted to stay here. We have GREAT friends, I have a job that has been a huge blessing, we have a church (although I'm not super attached to it), and we know the area. I didn't want to have to start all over with all those things again for only another 2 years before we moved AGAIN for Residency. So, when the day came to find out I called Kurt at least 5 times to see if he found out and my friend to see if she had heard anything from her husband.

We planned a celebratory dinner at Moes with all our friends. There were about 15 of us there 6 of which were med students . I was reminded again how blessed we are here with the friends God has brought into our lives! Everyone got their first choice and all are staying except for one couple is moving to NJ but that is where they requested.

God is good and I am reminded of that pretty regularly these days!

Winter Project

The material has arrived for my winter project to begin. It will be used to make a quilt (kindof) for my nephew River. Excited to get started. I'll post updates!

Check it out!

My friend Katherine is having a raffle for one of her quilts if you donate at least $5 for either her to send to Samaritans Purse or to a an organization of your choice that is helping out with the disaster in Haiti. You just have to let her know.

It's a pretty cool idea that she has going on and her quilts are awesome!! She's the one that taught me how to make a quilt. Just think, a homemade quilt for only $5. That's awesome!!! I do know if you donate more than your name can be entered in more than once.

Check out the link, she has all the details and it's not confusing if you are thinking it might be!!!

It's Friday!

While at our friends house last night, I said, out loud, "man, I keep thinking tomorrow is Friday but then remember it's only going to be Thursday!" To my great surprise, everyone starting laughing and said "tomorrow IS Friday." That made for a much better evening!
