Dentist

Tomorrow I get my wisdom teeth pulled.

For the next 3-4 days my diet will will consist of applesauce, pudding, yogurt, ice cream and V8 juice.

I'm happy Wes is on an easy rotation and will be able to take care of me!

Welcome to Miami....

Last weekend my sorority sister, Heather, came to visit Wes & I for Memorial Day weekend! To say we had fun would be an understatement!

We traveled to a lot of cities while Heather was in town, but the highlight of the trip was MIAMI!! It was the first time to Miami for each of us, and it did not disappoint! Our timing might have been a little off, or just right, depending on who you are. The Sizzle Convention was going on in downtown Miami. If you don't know what the Sizzle Convention is - which I'm assuming/hoping most of you don't - go here to find out: http://www.sizzlemiami.com/

We started our visit with a trip to SOUTH BEACH!! All the hype about beautiful people was a let down. I will say this though, Florida girls are very comfortable with their bodies, even here in Gainesville. I feel like it is starting to rub off on me. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to pack on any extra pounds or anything, but I have realized I don't need to be a size zero to appreciate my body.

Real men wear these shorts to the beach:



Side Note - South Beach probably isn't the place to take small children. There were multiple guys wearing man-thongs and girls walking around topless.

Wes, me, Heather & Frank on the beach! The water was amazing! Perfect temperature and pretty clear. Overall, I was pretty impressed with South Beach and would like to go back!



I'll end with a couple of picture of us out on the town!

It's been a while...

since my last post. A lot has change since I last posted....we have adopted another dog, Daisy - a Soft Coat Wheaten Terrier, purchased a SUV and have taken a few trips.

More updates to come!

Gator Nation!

Wes and I went to our first Florida football game this weekend! Football is a little different down here. For one, all of the girls dress up. There is actually a shop in town that makes custom orange and blue dresses, so no one else will be wearing the same outfit as you! :) I must say, wearing a t-shirt is by far more comfortable, but those orange and blue dresses are pretty freakin cute!

My Home Away From Home!

Work has been great so far! I really like my job and love the people I work with! The best part of my job is the location!



Emerson Alumni Hall!! Located in midtown and within walking distance to an array of fabulous restaurants! The food down here is to die for! Gainesville has many great locally owned restaurants. One of my favorites is Tijuana Flats! You can't beat Taco Tuseday!

The best part of EAH is....



It is right across the street from the football stadium!! Got to love this view! I can't wait for football season and Gator Nation tailgates!

Here are Wes' homes away from home..



Shands Hospital is where Wes will spend most of his intern year while rotating through his various surgical rotations.





Wes will spend the majority of his career at UF at the Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Institute. This is where Tim Tebow had his throwing motion analyzed.

As you can see, we are loving Gainesville! Wes' schedule is pretty busy, so we enjoy to spend our free time trying out new restaurants around town. (Even the chains restaurants down here are different.) I recently got Wes to try crab and scallops. And guess what??? He loved them! :)

Woodchuck Cider

Wes and I aren't big drinkers, but Friday night we discovered that you can make your own six pack at the local liquor store. We took full advantage of this and got a variety of beers we have never tried before. This is when I discovered Woodchuck Cider! YUMMY!! This might be my favorite beer now! Although, Wes keeps reminding me, "it isn't beer, it is cider." haha! Wes really liked it, too. It is sweet, but has a dry aftertaste. I had the Granny Smith flavor, but they also have Amber, Raspberry, Pear and 802 Dark & Dry. The best part is, it is made in Vermont! So, I get delicious cider, while supporting an American company.



I love the disclaimer they put on their website: *Dislike of Woodchuck Amber may be a sign of serious tongue injury. Consult your doctor.

DUKE!

Here are some updated pictures of Duke.



Duke is getting so big!



Duke and I spending some quality time together.





This is how Duke and daddy spend the day. Wes has been working nights, so Duke spends the day laying on him. Duke really likes to cuddle!
