New Home follow-up

In response to the many questions:

1. The home is a new build 4BR 3BA about 2 miles east of us in a new subdivision. We are sad to be leaving our current ward but are planning on staying in touch with our good friends there.

2. We are planning on closing on the 29th.

3. As far as long-term plans are concerned, we are considering staying at least an extra year as chief resident. We're not sure why exactly, but feel like that is what we ought to do. After that, Brandon would still like to sub-specialize in infectious disease. Hopefully the powers that be will decide to make that available at Mayo AZ in the meantime.

4. When it comes to ever topping this birthday, it's not looking good, folks. Of course, Danielle has been oogling the new babies in the ward recently....Just kidding. We'll stick with one major life event at a time.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!! ;)

Eight years ago Brandon gave me one of these for my birthday:


Then he always joked about how that was a bad idea, because he'd never be able to top that birthday present! Well, he did this year when he got me this:

Yipee! After almost 8 years of marriage and 3 kids, we are officially homeowners!

NASCAR Hayley

Watch as Hayley takes Ethan for the maiden voyage in her new-for-her (pre-owned) purple powerwheels Jeep. He'll think twice before getting in the car with her again. Also, note to self, maybe we'll be waiting until she is 18 before she gets a drivers license.
