Reunited

After being gone for three months traveling for medical schooling, Matt is back home! It's the best! I am a much happier and better person with him around. I'd forgotten how much easier he makes everything.

Skylie and I flew to Richmond, Virginia on Monday, October 18 to meet up with Matt before we all traveled to a few residency interviews (more on that later). We got back to Des Moines late Monday night.

I feel so thankful to have my family under one roof, again.

Upcoming Travel

This will be our travels from October 18-25. Seriously crazy. Originally, Skylie and I were just going to fly out to visit Matt and do some sight seeing in D.C. before our trek home.

Then residency programs invited Matt to come interview and plans changed.

The travels will consist of:

1. Me and Skylie flying to Richmond, Virginia


2. Visiting three long-time friends and one cousin


3. Matt finishing a rotation in Richmond


4. Driving from Virginia to New York, then Indiana, and finally coming back to Iowa


5. Matt interviewing at three residency programs (Buffalo, NY; Syracuse, NY; Indianapolis, IN)


6. Matt and I attending three dinners with the residents


7. Sightseeing for mmm...one day...in Palmyra and Niagara Falls
   

Wish us luck! We'll need it!

P.S. If anyone has family or friends in Syracuse and/or Buffalo, will you let me know? I'm searching for babysitters, because there is no way I'm taking Skylie to dinner with the residents.

Latest Trick

Over the past few months whenever we've blessed the food or said a prayer, I've tried to teach Skylie to fold her arms by saying, "Fold your arms for the prayer." I with I could take credit for this idea, but I got it from my dear BYU-Idaho friend, Rachel.

Tonight, at long last, she got it.



Tell me that's not the cutest thing you've ever seen!

P.S. Please tell me that from time to time your kids end up wearing to bed what they wore all day long. Or am I the only heathen?

Here's a few videos, mainly for Matt.
