November 2012

Hanging out with residents in Hermosa Beach during a break from orthopedics

Baylor friend Adrienne stopped by a couple times on the interview trail; she will match into an Emergency Medicine residency program in March.

Spontaneously booked a last-minute trip to visit Chelsey and Joel in Utah

Enjoyed a beautiful hike and wonderful conversation

Coffee, goals, pedicures, and looking forward to the time when her family would grow a little bigger

Home for the Thanksgiving holiday with Adam; mandatory lunch at Hudsons was delicious!

Stopped by Barb's amazing, creative and artistic tribute to Coeur d'Alene entitled Portrait of a Town and was proud and happy to see Mom's portrait on display 

Thanksgiving dinner was as tasty as it was colorful; filled my belly and my heart!

Lunch with friend Kami, her husband Dan, and her playful kids Eli and Logan (so much personality!)

Eli cracked me up when he randomly started stripping- such a cute little guy!

It was great to catch up and hear about Dan's plans for dental school... congratulations on UW!

Pre-parade stop by Barb and Marty's. We added leaves to the chain of thankfulness and I opened my clever graduation gift that has continued to bring balance and amusement to residency

A rainy Thanksgiving Parade in downtown Coeur d'Alene followed by the fireworks show

Dinner at the Hayden Lake County Club with Sam, Megan, and the divvied up gift basket

Double taping of The Talk in Los Angeles including the Christmas Eve show! Left with nearly $1000 worth of fun giveaways and gift cards.

EMS rotation involved ambulance rides, walking on the 405 during rush hour, a trip to dispatch headquarters, trying out the HazMat suits with co-resident Alyssa, and studying for Step 3
