I have not updated in a LONG time. I have been keeping up my adoption blog, http://5millionminus1.blogspot.com. We are waiting to bring home our little boy Tedi. Since this is my med school blog. I felt it is appropriate to post for posterity that I matched for residency at the UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE.. it was my number one which is totally a blessing from God. I will add more later but I wanted to update briefly.

A walk.... before all the leaves are gone...

Halloween Weekend

I love fall but am not the biggest Halloween fan. So instead of dressing up and going out, we went to Huber's farm in southern Indiana. JT and I have been multiple times, but we decided to take my friend Jacqueline who had never been. While there, we left her little dog, Caroline, with my in-laws and Asia. Below are a few pictures from the weekend! (the dogs' eyes look weird... I couldn't fix them)

Stella's 4th Birthday

My dear friend Emily has a special and very girly daughter Stella who celebrated her fourth birthday on October 26. JT and I feel like family with Emily and Jason so we attended the "family only" birthday party. I think I invited myself but oh well. It was a blast. (I will post pictures from our cruise soon.)

Gatlinburg 2009

We traveled to G-burg at the end of September with our friends. We stayed in Justin's parent's cabin for the weekend. Unfortunately it rained most of the weekend so we stayed in most of the time. This does not mean that fun was not had by all! Here are some pictures!


Me and Caroline, Jacqueline's teacup "shit-zoo"

David & Sarah Hafley's Wedding

One of my dearest friends from childhood and high school, David Hafley, got married on August 8 in Indianapolis. JT and I felt it was important to make the trip in support of JT. It was also great to see friends from my past. It was very hot so if in the pictures we look sweaty, we were!!! The wedding was gorgeous, and probably one of the nicest I have been to.

Jimmy's Retirement Party

My father-in-law, Jimmy, retired from Bell South two weeks after working there for 36 years. People in my generation just don't work at the same place for the many years. My mother in law had a fabulous retirement party for him last Sunday. I took quite a few pictures and here are just few of them
