Last weekend all of Bryan's faculty were nice enough to treat us all to a wonderful dinner a Morton's Steak house, where the fourth years "graduted" from there residency. It made us realize that one day that is actually going to be us! It is always fun to get together with all of the other residents they are a good group of     people.

This week me and Bryan spent a much needed weekend together, we slept in, went out to eat (twice) went to the portait gallery museum, walked around, did a temple trip, and watched movies at home, and under Bryan's request we studied a little too. This is bryan at the all you can eat Indian food lunch buffet we went to for lunch.You can't tell from the picture but a couple nights ago I hit this bug with my shoe to kill it, and much to my surprise it lit up a flashing neon green color. It was crazy, I have never seen anything like it!

And of course last but not least we had say HAPPY FATHERS DAY to 2 WONDERFUL Dad's. Thanks for all you guys do for us, and your good examples to us. You guys are the BEST!

It was so fun for us to go to AZ and visit the family. Sometimes we wish we had more than 2 weeks off a year so we could see everyone more often.  Here is a nice game of crochet that Brad started. We got to meet Wes and Ivy, and I failed to get a picture with Ivy, but she was soo cute! Congrats to the Langs, we are so happy for you and are so glad we got to meet her.

Grandpa Kirkland and Jeff came down for a quick visit, and it was really nice to see them too.

My whole family got to do a temple session together, which was really great. Especially because Van and Mand move to Michigan soon, and we may not be together as a whole family for a while.

We also got family pictures taken. These aren't them, this is just one  I took with my camera.

I was able to have a girls lunch which was fun. Some of these gals I have not seen in a long time so it was fun to catch up.

Well, it was so fun to see everyone, and see what life will be like some day when bryan isn't working 100+ hours per week, and we think we are going to like it... A LOT! 

This weekend Bryan's Co-resident got married. Their wedding was on the water front of the Chesapeake bay, and it was really beautiful. The weather was perfect as well. Here are some pictures of the wedding and Bryans fellow residents, and attendings he gets to spend all his time with.These are the first year residents. It's Sophie, Stephanie (Kens wife) and Ken. And of course Bryan that make the slave laboring first years.

These are some of the second year   residents.

Here are most of the residents, minus a few, with their wives/husbands.

Well, we havn't posted anything much lately because basically our lives have manly been work work, and more  work.  With that said we have tried to throw in a little date night here and there. We re-signed our year long lease which seems crazy that we have been here for almost a year! It has been a great place to live. Bryan has been able to start doing more complicated surgeries, and he is loving it. I have my first year of nursing school under my belt which has been busy and good. Overall we are loving the DC life.

This is a fun little walk across a bridge, the veiw is the washington monument, and city on both sides but you can't really tell.

These are down in Georgetown

We have also tried to go to the national mall area because as you can see it's beautiful. We brought a football down and played some catch with some friends, and took  snooze on the grass.

Now we are looking forward to AZ!

Its CHERRY BLOSSOM TIME so we decided to head down to the annual cherry blossom festival. We couldn't stay long but it was fun to go and see all the pretty   trees!

We found this huge yoga class!  I had to jump in for a move!

This past weekend we got to go back to Virignia Beach. Was it cold, yes, did the wind ever stop? Not once, but we still had  blast and it was a much needed gettaway trip. The hotel pool  An after crab dinner stretch

Yesterday I went to my car only to find that there was a shocking amount of bird poop all over my car. It al happened over night, and my car looks disgusting. Just on my back windsheild there well over 20 spots, and then you have the sides of my car. What the heck?!?

These pictures don't do it justice, but trust me I have been bird graffitied on big time

Las but not least the YW were in the stake talent show and did a dance, it was fun to see them. When I was taking one of them home after one of there practices she said this is something she looked forward to most each year. They did a great job!

This past week we had a wonderful time having Tyer and Kelly in town.  We went to a lot of good restaraunts, saw some sites (they saw a lot with out us), it was so fun to have them in town. We were sad to see them leave!

This is at Zatanyas, a greek restaraunt tapas bar, the weather was so nice, notice we aren't wearing any coats!

Thank goodness they didn't come 2 weeks earlier!

This past week we fell in love with DC all over again! It's been so fun to see everything, and it has been so fun to do it with such good company!

I saw these pictures on-line...It's a good idea of what I was talking about with the grocery stores being crazy!Things were practically bare(  I didn't take these pics I don't know this man)
