From the blogging slacker....

One of my adoring readers told me tonight that if I didn't post something soon, she would stop reading my blog and well let's just say I'm not in the business of losing readers since I'm still not sure I have any....so Caroline, this is for you, despite that the majority of this post is old news to you. First off, I have returned to Ohio after my month in Pocatello for my OB/GYN rotation. I had a great rotation...the Dr. I worked with was awesome, I learned a lot and liked OB/GYN much more than I thought I would. I didn't realize how many surgerical procedures are done in OB/GYN and I really liked the half office time/half hospital time aspect of it. It was also nice to spend a month with my family! The weekend before my rotation in Pocatello ended, I flew up to Spokane to see Steve, who was playing in Hoopfest with some friends and his brother. After spending three weeks apart, I was really excited to see him and had a great weekend with him, friends and his family! I don't have any pics because my camera was having issues :(

However, I do have pics from last weekend. Steve and I both had a weekend off together (which I think has only happened 1 other time since we started school - not including christmas break) so we decided to head to Chicago for the 4th of July and as an early anniversay present to ourselves. We had the absolute best weekend...in fact, I'm not sure there are enough words in the English language to fully describe how great it was. We were able to relax, spend some real time together and not think about school the entire time. It felt like what I imagine other people who have weekends off regularly feel like. So enjoy the pics and I'm going to try to be a more regular blogger :)


For those that haven't been to Chicago, did you know that it is right on Lake Michigan and that you can go to the beach and play in the water and sit by the palm trees (yes...that's right palm trees in Chicago)?? I didn't when we first went there last summer but Lake Michigan and the trail on Lake Shore is one of my favorite things about Chicago in the summer. These are definitely not the most flattering pictures of me, which is why they are small but I really wanted to include them


This picture is on Michigan Ave. where we did some shopping one of the days.


Saturday we went to Lincoln Park and the Lincoln Park Zoo which is free to the public (they do get you on the $6 hot dogs though). Chicago has so many free activities in the summer which I think is so great!
