Happy October

Happy October everyone! Most of you know that October is my favorite month. Mostly because it's my birthday month but also because I love the fall weather, Halloween, and all of the other wonderful things that come along this time of year. Also this year because it's one month closer to getting out of this hell hole:)Well I have been busily working the last 7 days and Dennis has been enjoying a short break before beginning his final rotation (yeah!). He spent the week relaxing after a tough week of tests. It worked out well that he was home this week because our spare bedroom and bath were flooded by our neighbors busted water pipes. What a mess-lucky for us it did not ruin anything unlucky for them though their place was a disaster. We got refurbished carpet and a free carpet cleaning out of the ordeal-just in time to move. Oh well it looks good for now... Apparently Dennis and Nairobi were bored while I was away but it looks like they kept themselves entertained.

This pic was taken in July while Dennis was at the Hard Rock Casino at a Reggae concert. For those of you who don't know it's Shemar Moore formerly Malcolm on the Young & the Restless & Soul Train host. He now stars as Morgan on Criminal Minds and in movies. I was so jealous! About a week later Dennis & Kim ran into Cuba Gooding Jr in Los Angeles-no photo op though:)

September

Nairobi "Jailed"

Well it seems like 2008 is just flying by so fast. September is already half way over. As September flys by so do my twenties. I can't believe in less than a month I will be thirty. Where does time go?
Dennis is in the midst of a whirl wind month. He's in the last two weeks of his pediatric elective and doing a plastic surgery/dermatology class 2-3 times a week at night. He has a big test next week that is a pre-national board exam so he has been studying a lot. We only have about 60 days left before we the big move.
Also we would like to ask everyone to say a prayer for Dennis's mom who is recovering from a health scare.

August 2008

Well it's been a while so I thought I'd get this thing updated. Unfortunately we don't have any new pics to share that I can think of. At the beginning of the month we flew to Austin for a weekend of job interviews which also doubled as our sixth anniversary trip. It was a very productive trip as we were both offered jobs which we've accepted. I will be at the Trauma Center downtown and Dennis accepted a position at a busy Pediatric office. We also located a place to stay while we continue our house hunt. We liked Cedar Park so we'll both have about a 25 minute commute into Austin. So it looks like the big move is going to take place just before Thanksgiving. Dennis is wrapping up his OB rotation this week only a little over 2 months to go for him! Hope everyone is well...

Well I spent the last week visiting family back in TX/OK and house hunting. I spent a couple days in OK with my mom and Nanny. We went shopping and did a few things for Nanny around the house and of course got our fill of Braum's. I got to see Tonya and her house as well which was nice. My mom and I headed back to TX on Friday. I had lunch with my dad and then me LaTisha and my mom went to Austin to house hunt. We had a good time looking around. We got lost so many times I was forced to invest in a GPS:) We returned Sunday and I was tired after basically spending 5 days in the car. Monday I hung out with Nate all day and then my dad cooked dinner. It rained all night and day I haven't seen that in about 2 years so I was ecstatic. I had a great trip but was glad to be back to see Dennis. Pray we both find jobs in Austin soon...

Here are some pics I snapped at my dad's Monday evening:
