Although we were sad we didn't get to go home for Thanksgiving, we made the best of it and decided to make our own dinner. Everything turned out pretty good, and we had another couple over to enjoy it with us. We did the whole pumpkin pie thing too. I didn't have evaporated milk so I used skim milk and they still turned out ok suprisingly!

Our fellow friends who don't get to go home for the holidays either

The finished product.

Now we are going to one of Bryan's residents house on the real thanksgiving day and off to Virginia Beach tomorrow after Bryan gets off work! We can't wait!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A year ago from today, me and Bryan were here in Washington DC for his interview. This interview was the last of 12 in less than a month, and Bryan had gotten little sleep, little food, and some seriously high stress. We didn't get to our hotel till after 2 in the morning because we got lost, on top of not getting much sleep before. This is him before he went to his interview a year ago. He said this place was a long shot, but he'd give it a try anyways. As you all know despite these things it went well, and we are very happy it did because DC is awesome. Now he's on the other side of it all, interviewing not the interviewer and man is it a much better side to be on for him. Here he is getting ready to go and see who the next years possibilities will be.

A few weekends ago Bryan and Shelly got to come down and visit us. We fit in as much as we could in a weekend (including sleeping in). Tried some good restaurants, did some site seeing, and played games. Everything was great except for a disturbing story they told us about an 8 year old girl who still breast feeds... still can't shake that one off. This is 2 Amy's and amazing pizza place, if you ever come down we suggest you try it out.

Thanks for visiting us Barneys!!!

So pretty much DC this time of year is absolutely beautiful!

All the LEAVES are changing COLORS!!

The weather has been in the 60's and 70's high (minus one really cold weekend)

So now we need to just enjoy it because before we now it it is going to be COLD!

Bryan only has one more call on Friday before his Anesthesia starts which means NO CALL FOR NOVEMBER!!! YEAH!

HAPPY FALL EVERYONE!!!

We have had such a fun time with the Stevens! (they're still here till tomorrow) We are so glad they got to come and visit. We were going to go to a restaraunt by the white house, and the wait was an hour so we put our names in and went on a 45 min walk. When we got back we still had a good 45 minute wait so we decied to go eat somewhere else. We never found a parking spot to go somewhere else and ended up ordering papa johns and went home! Thats what can happen in big cities

I'm sure we'll have a lot more of these types of picts. This is the white house

Like how our faces blend into the white house


Here are some really nice poses of Bryan and Justin, this here is the AC slater back of the chair pose.

Them laughing about there poses

This one here is really nice, you can just feel the love!

When I see this picture it makes me think of the scripture D&C 10:65:

For, behold I will gather them as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings... ( Wouldn't you agree?)

This weekend we had the priviledge of having both of our parents in town, and we had a blast with them! Bryan actuall was not on call this weekend, which hasn't happened since Tyler's wedding and I was out of town for it, so it was fun! These are some spanish dancers doin there thing. We all went on a segway tour around DC.

Once a hippy always a hippy I guess

Of course we had to play joker and the girls won every game!!! (okay maybe I'm lying)

The one and only Potbelly's. It hasn't gotten old yet

Sitting in the sculpture garden listening to a little band

Thats right a car shaped like a guitar, where do these people come up with these things?

All in all this was one of the best weekends we've had so far. We went out to great restaurants, did some sight seeing, games, laughing, catching up, and Bryan got to sleep in!

Today was our first day at the hospital. This is my clinical group for the semester, and my instructer is the one standing. They are all a lot of fun to work with, and we are all buds now! The guy taking the picture went a little crazy with the picture taking. On one of the cameras, he didn'tknow if it was taking and he took 13 pictures, another like 7 or 8, and on mine he took 3.

Just because we haven't blogged in a little bit does not mean that we haven't been doing anything, infact far from it! Last weekend my bro came in town, and literally fit in so much in a weekend. All the national mall stuff, arlington cemetary, mt vernon, meuseums, georgetown, ect... when we were in Georgetown we crossed over this bridge only to find that Ferris Bueller was being played in this big park, so we took a seat on the grass and finished it. On labor day me and bryan went back down town to walk around and the US NAVY band and singers were doing this big production which was really fun to watch! I have no pictures though, didn't bring the camera. Basically living in DC is awesome, and there is always something fun to do. We couldn't have picked a better city to live in. Oh, and the weather is starting to cool off, and a few leaves on the trees have changed there color. My first real fall. My nursing program started and I LOVE it! I am learning something new everyday, and it's very hands on which I love. As busy as I am i still feel like I am standing still compared to Bryan. He's just a busy guy. Well thats our update, in a nutshell. Have a great week everyone!
