These are pictures from Mom and Bob's visit to New York. We had a great time. We went to see the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular. It was so great, especially for someone like me who loves Christmas. It was the 75th Anniversary of the show and the Rockettes. The Rockettes were really cool. It was a lot of fun to have visitors. We did some shopping in Chinatown and Grand Central Station, Herald Square....and much more. One of the neatest places we went was The Pond at Bryant Park. They have holiday shops with many different vendors with everything from ties to hats to caramel apples to jewelry. Plus there is free ice skating though the line was really long so we did not do it.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. I can't wait to hear from you guys this time of year. Some people have asked for our address so I put it below.

One of the places I miss the most in Dominica

Here is my new schedule. I had it changed so I would have a better surgery rotations, which unfortunately meant that it is pushed back later in the year. However, I am going to fill the breaks with elective rotations like the Hem/Onc and Anesthesia rotations. I thought I would keep everyone up to date. I did finish my ER rotation already. I really enjoyed it and I learned quite a bit. I got to do a ride-along with the paramedics which I really loved. We brought in a trauma just as the shift was ending. I really liked it as a whole. I made some good friends as well. We are loving NYC as well. Astoria is really great with plenty of restaurants and things to do. And Manhattan is full of amazing things to do. However, it is getting a little bit tedious to wait for the bus when I was going to work. Anyways.....Christmas is coming and I am so excited. I am that Christmas nerd. But I can't wait. Plus my mom and Bob are coming to visit on Thanksgiving day and staying with us for three days. I can't wait to see them and have fun running around city. I love you guys and hope to hear from you soon....

I wanted to take a moment to update my blog...I start Monday in the hospital...actually Monday I have to go for orientation so I won't get much exposure then....So I guess I really start on Tuesday. JT starts his job on Monday as well. Things are going well....It is getting cool up here, which after being in Dominica, is nice....Though I am sure I will hate it when January comes and I am commuting....We look forward to visitors... Have a great weekend.

OK everyone, Here it is....Our HUGE apt.....I say sarcastically. It is finally unpacked and decorated, though we are still without a trashcan. Ironic that you can't just go to target or WalMart of course.. Other good news is that I have clinical schedule....I posted it below. Please feel free to comment. I must go now because we are going to the gym. Love you guys!

I don't have any pictures of our place yet, but I will tomorrow. We are moved in and I do have good news....I PASSED MY TEST. Granted the score was not great but it was passing. We are in NYC and I should get my schedule within the next two weeks. Thank you for all of your prayers and I will post pics tomorrow.

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
King Whitney Jr.

So for those who don't know, we found a place in NYC. We are living in Astoria, Queens which is about a 25 minute commute into midtown Manhattan. It is a small one bedroom in a three year old building that is sixteen stories tall. We are lucky because we have an elevator and air conditioning. Also, because we are on the second floor, we have a large terrace/patio that we share with only one neighbor, a single mother and her five year old daughter. I posted A LOT of pictures below of our apartment and our travels in Chicago and NYC. I hope that you enjoy the pictures. We are leaving on Monday morning for New York. I should start my rotations in early November considering that I get my scores in the next two weeks or so. I am still keeping my fingers crossed about my scores.
