DO Day on the Hill

Kyle got the chance to go to Washington, DC for an event called DO Day on the Hill a couple of weeks ago. He got the chance to meet with members of the Congress staff and discuss Osteopathic Medicine, he didn't actually get to meet a Congress member but he did see many different historic buildings in DC. I was very jealous that he got to go and the history teacher didn't, but he made sure to take plenty of pictures.

Trips, trips, and more trips

We've been very busy spending time with family and each other. I took a trip up to Indiana to visit my sister and her family on Valentine's day weekend. I know I'm horrible for leaving Kyle on our first valentine's day married but he would have been studying all week because DCOM was nice enough to give them a huge test the Monday after Valentine's day. Before I left though we went to a Valentine's dinner at church and played the "not so newlywed game" with a few of the older church members. We were the only newlywed couple and you know what....WE WON!! We kicked all those old couples butts! This was after they played a trick on the women where they put a blind fold on us and had us feel our "husbands" hands and guess which one was ours, well I thought I guess right. Low and behold they had switched our husbands with other members and I thought a 14 yr. old boy's hand was Kyle, ooops my bad.

My friend Colleen and I drove to Indianoplis together and we found out our sisters live 20 minutes from each other, so it worked out perfectly. I played with Noah and Josalyn and was thankful they let me crash their Valentine's weekend. My mom and grandma came down to visit us and we had a blast. Kyle once again had a huge test to study for and so we just hung around the house and tried to stay out of his hair. We took a trip to Morristown to look for a heater so my grandma wouldn't freeze to death, and we even went to FAZOLI's...my favorite (it stinks we have to drive 45 min. for it). They also helped me make a dress, yep that's right "make" a dress, I had a lot of help but I still did a lot of it on my own. I'm turning into a little Betty homemaker as my grandma would say. I had a great time seeing my family and I get to go home again next weekend for one of my teacher friend's wedding.
