I miss taking the time to sit and think about what we've been up to, what I'm thinking about, and reflecting on this sweet life the Lord's given me. Life has been so busy. Work takes up most of my time, so when I'm not working I want to spend time with Chris. But I think the practice of being still and quiet enough to think up a summary of my past week, or to have a place to fully develop thoughts is important to fully embracing this life. Chris and I have been talking a lot about how fast time is going by- our time in Louisville is quickly coming to an end and it does not seem possible. So many good things come and go and I just want to capture a few more of those sweet moments so that I fully experience them. <br />
<br />
So a snapshot in the life of Chris and Jenny now: I love my job! Just finished one study and am starting up another study. It's required lots of travel, lots of growth and independence but it has been the opportunity of a lifetime and I couldn't be more thankful. My bosses are about as cool as it gets. Both women who are both so intelligent, accurate, respected and experienced it's unreal. As high caliber-women they are, though, they are just as approachable and interested in growing me into a successful team member. Also my coworkers are awesome..... Needless to say work is stressful a lot of the time, but at the end of the day it's so fufilling and fun, I wouldn't change it for the world.<br />
<br />
Chris is just dominating his fourth year. Even saying that makes me anxious/sad/in disbelief! Can it really be his 4th year?! He goes from being confident in his ability and feeling good to thinking there's no way he can be dentist almost daily. So do all his closest friends. They all are doing great and will be successful dentists. But these last few months with mock boards and boards are intense and are testing them. <br />
<br />
Our weeks are filled to the brim with work/travel for me and school and studying for Chris. In the evenings we have CG, Pure Barre, dinners with friends. We covet the weekends... Saturday mornings with nothing to do is what I live for. I use the time to stay in bed, look at blogs or pinterest, or read. It's my heaven. <br />
<br />
Another summary of this point in time is so many of our friends and even family are having babies! We had 2 births this month of people really close to us and just this week found out about 2 different friends of ours that are pregnant! What a praise and gift from the Lord! But I have to admit every time I hear of another pregnancy it makes me sad- we're growing up. We're at the age where our friends are having planned babies (sometimes their second!) and it's just crazy to me! I feel like we're all still 23. What are we doing having kids?! I have confidence the Lord will change my heart when we decide to start trying, but as of now it's baffling to me.... #confession.<br />
<br />
As a praise my family is at such a good point. Both brothers are alive and well. Ross is more in love with the Lord than I thought possible. Morgan and Megan are doing great. Morgan and I got to bond a lot over Christmas break. Thankful for the time I had with her. Mom published her SECOND book! What a cool mom I have... Dad still is obsessed with being a dog surgeon. Chris's family is doing good as well- Eric and Ginny had their baby girl this month! We went down to Auburndale to meet Ms. Emory and fell in love. She could not have been born to better parents. Eric and Ginny are the creme de la creme. <br />
<br />
Other looks into life right now: CG Life is good. Kind of strange because we're all going to move soon... But the Lord is faithful to grow us and encourage us through each other before he sends us all around the U.S. I'm reading the BEST BOOK. It's part of a trilogy by Ken Follett and I'm obsessed. I just want to read all of the time. We're planning our big trip to Europe for this summer!! It's so much fun to plan and I can't believe it's happening. <br />
<br />
And lastly, the light of our lives, Annabelle. She's still owning it. We're in love.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12951038628593476578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571843480783557095.post-19561942582212694192014-04-19T06:40:00.002-07:002014-04-19T06:40:53.999-07:00Already but not yet<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Lent, the Cross, Atonement; all of this is hard for me to fully grasp. Sometimes I feel as if i have it and sometimes I feel scared that I feel so lost in it that it may not be real (key word there is "feel"). Chris and I came home last night after our Good Friday service and I was a ball of emotions- </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">my heart was heavy that my Christ willingly died on the cross for my sins.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was feeling confused as to why he chose to do so.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was feeling overjoyed with the firm reality I knew in my salvation was bought and paid for.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was irritable that Chris couldn't come inside of my mind and figure all of this out for me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I was confused as to what I felt- today represented when my Lord hung from a tree to pay for my sins, but at the same time it represented my salvation is paid for. The brightest and the darkest of events...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> Praise be to our Lord that he is unwaivering in his attributes! The Lord is not confusing and does not withhold his truths from us. We came home and Chris pulled out his Systematic Theology book and we read and charted and put the truths we knew into the full story of what this day was about. We know and believe our God is fully good and fully righteous. He is love and he delights in bringing us joy. We need to be in fellowship with him to experience true joy, but left to our own, our sin would separate us from the Lord. So our God sent himself in the form of the Father's son to live a life without sin and then to die a death we deserve to make a way for us to be in full communion with him. In this death, he himself experienced the separation from the Father that sin results in and the wrath that the sin caused. Once he had experienced what was needed, he himself gave up his spirit. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Even though we have a way to communion with God, we still live in a fallen world and we are still sinners. This leads me to the "already but not yet". We have salvation- we can sense the goodness of God in life- a beautiful spring day, the love of Chris, Annabelle's adorable self, fun deep friendships. But in the midst of this joy, there is still unfathomable suffering in this world that weighs on my heart- anxiety about work, broken friendships, fleeting pleasures of this world. We are not yet in a sinless world where everything has been made new. I want to realize it is ok, even good for me to acknowledge the brokeness and hurt in this world, both in my life and others. I think this should put a groan in my heart to long for the time when Christ will dwell with us- when all things are redeemed and made new. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The Lord has been gracious to slowly teach me more about his ways and his being during this time of lent. My prayer is my feelings would not dictate my thoughts about our Lord but rather the truths of Him that the spirit allows me to store in my heart. I am eagerly awaiting the celebration of Easter tomorrow! What a God we serve.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">It is finished.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">He is risen!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12951038628593476578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571843480783557095.post-58100849132560496502014-04-15T06:42:00.003-07:002014-04-15T06:42:56.253-07:00Checking in<a href="<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/9302553/?claim=xbbmpm3pk2v">Follow">http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/9302553/?claim=xbbmpm3pk2v">Follow</a> my blog with Bloglovin</a> <br />

We decided to begin a new tradition this year: mom will come visit the weekend before thanksgiving!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We began it this Novemeber and it was convienintly a weekend Chris went to West Virginia to hang with Ryan and Andy for the weekend. </div>

On Saturday we crafted all day long! It was heavenly! Mom brought a Scan n Cut machine (which is a laser paper cutter) so we planned on crafting with that all day, but she forgot to bring the mat that accompanies it... So we had to go to plan B which involved mom getting me my very first embroidery machine!!!! We spent the day with her showing me how to use it while making baby Colton and Baby Jack Christmas presents! I also made Jenna and Jared a wedding present. We watched Parenthood while we sewed and we laughed and bawled all night long. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the perfect picture was captured, we went to Sojourn for the evening service and then went to Four Pegs for dinner.</div>

The next morning she left to fly back to PC.... Saying goodbye is always awful. I absolutely hated watching my mom leave... It always brings up the issue of where Chris and I see ourselves living once he's done with airforce. We'd like to not have to ever say goodbye to either set of parents, but being from two different hometowns that will be impossible. I am thankful to have a mom I love so much that saying goodbye is hard and I'll try to cling to that blessing and not focus on the sadness it brings.</div>

My excuse for not blogging in 3 months is literally to many fun things have been happening. We've been lucky to get home, unpack and wash our clothes in time for the next fun thing, No complaints here, as the Lord has blessed us with a season of fun and friends!</div>

September started with us at DISNEY WORLD with Chris's awesome family. We all stayed in the "treehouse" cabin that his parents rented and it was so much fun to be with everyone for a long weekend. I felt like the bonding time was extra rich and relaxed because we didn't have to worry about plans or who we were going to see next. We were all there together and it didn't really matter what we did. We ended up taking advantage of the non-park attractions. We saw Planes at Downtown Disney, we went bowling at Downtown Disney, we spent the day in these the awesome resort's pool, we ate at yummy restaurants, and the last night, we surprised his parents with renting a boat for the family to go watch the fireworks. We had snacks and drinks on board. Cindy and Dave were caught completely off guard and were SO excited! Loved being able to give to them and celebrate their 30+ year marriage. </div>

Then the Birthday Festivities started. Chris started the Birthday week with taking me to Bistro 1860- a cute, newly redone restaurant not a half mile from our home. It's menu is all tapas type items so we spent the night ordering new foods, drinks, and enjoying each others company. I am so unbelievably grateful for a husband that I genuinely have the most fun with. This night left me with such joy. </div>

That weekend, mom and Hal came into town! We had the best time with them trying out restaurants, going to Makers distillery, experiencing Sojourn, and just hanging out. They overly blessed me on my birthday. My mom brought up all of the jewelry that I had been given as a little girl, but that she held on to until I was ready to assume responsibility for it, so it was fun to go through different charms my grandparents gave me at different times. They also got me a new phone (those of you who know me know my old one had been cracked for the entire 2+ years I'd had it..), and new bedding for Chris and I's bed! Also, Hal made a huge pot of his Brunswick stew for Chris. Chris and his friends enjoyed that stew for awhile. </div>

Our trip to Monterey was blissful. Although we had a rough
agenda of things we wanted to see and places we wanted to go, we were excited
to find fun new activities or places to explore. The entire trip I felt like we
were kids on a treasure hunt!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every hour
of each day we found the “treasure chest”: a new cool view we had hiked to,
making eye contact with a sea otter in the wild, a charming Italian restaurant
that enclosed us with a homey romantic ambiance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

I love summer. It brings no true schedule changes for me personally, but it seems that other's change in schedule rubs off on me. Maybe it's because of the long days... But there seems to be more time for slow mornings, fun nights with friends, engagements, new babies, exciting trips, seeing old friends, evening walks with Annabelle, all the good things in life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're in a blessed season- we have been in Louisville for 2 years now and I feel comfortable and happy. Last night over dinner with friends, it came up that the boys are over half way done with school... We have 2 years left in this amazing city. I feel like I'm in college starting Junior year and getting anxiety about having to graduate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm ready to soak up the last months of summer and the last half of our time in dental school, but I want it to slow down so I can fully grasp and enjoy these moments. </div>

I flew into Panama City Tuesday night, just as it started to rain. By the time we went to pick Chris up the next day at noon, the road getting into the airport was flooded.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I checked the weather and it was 100% chance of rain for the next 2 days and 80% the 2 days after that. Never have I seen so much rain in Panama City. Honestly I was pretty depressed... This was our beach vacation for the summer. We are now <i>those</i> people who only have one beach vacay a year! But thankfully my family is really fun and we made sure to have fun anyways. </div>

Overall it was a fun time. It was hard too realizing that I won't be back until Christmas- that our trips to PC are literally going to be twice a year at best. It was hard to leave my family knowing that they could probably use me around- especially ROss and Robbie. My hope is in the Lord. The Lord has the power to be with them through this time in their lives and the Lord can work in their lives even if I am not around all the time. Thankful for a Savior who goes before me and intercedes on my behalf!</div>

My darling Mere is 36 weeks pregnant this week. A wonderful friend of her new {darling} mother-in-law threw a shower for Meredith and baby Jack this past weekend. Here's where it gets exciting: I am married to Chris- Chris was born and raised in Auburndale FL. One of his best friends from home, and a groomsman in our wedding was Tyler. I was born and raised in Panama City, FL. Meredith and Carly are some of my oldest, best friends. At our wedding, Carly meets Tyler and Tyler falls for Carly. Flash forward to now and Carly and Tyler have been dating for awhile and are just perfect together. </div>

SO, Carly and Tyler flew up from Tampa and Chris and I drove down from Louisville to Atlanta for the shower. The first night we picked Carly and Tyler up from the airport and met Mere at Tin Lizzy's. We had yummy food and Margarita's and sat for a few hours just catching up. </div>

We left and headed to Meredith and Matt's home where we stayed for the night. We stayed up WAY late still just talking and hanging out. </div>

The next morning we had a slow and easy morning. Mere made yummy cinnamon rolls, Mimosa's and we had lots of fruit. Her sister Kelley came in around noon and soon after Carly, Tyler, Chris and I headed out to let them have sister time and we went to SweetWater Blue Brewery (Well, Carly and I demanded a few stops- Chick-fil-a and Starbucks ;) ). Once there we hung out and drank their brewskies!</div>

After the brewery, we left and headed to our super sweet hotel. We stayed at the W in buckhead and it was awesome. We spent the remainder of the afternoon at the sweet rooftop pool.</div>

After the pool we changed and walked to dinner at Flipburger. YUM! They had the best burgers and milkshakes. We walked back to the hotel and went up to the rooftop bar to see what it was about.</div>

The next morning, Carly and I woke up, got ready and drove to Mere's house to head to the shower. WE stopped at her MIL's home to meet her and her Aunts. They were so delightful and she had a beautiful Roswell home! Then we packed up and headed to the shower. THe entire shower was beautiful. The hostesses had made the yummiest food, had place settings for everyone, and had decorations everywhere! The company was wonderful too. It was fun to see all of the women Meredith had become close to in the short time she's lived in the ATL. Baby Jack received so many lovely presents. I helped Mere organize the opening presents process and Carly took pics. </div>

Today I woke up in Phoenix, AZ. It's my second work trip and think I am getting the hang of things. It's strange to be in really nice hotel rooms alone. Like where are my girls? Or Chris?! Or most importantly, where's Annabelle?! Last night I kept bumping into things while I was unpacking and I kept thinking Annabelle was going to freak out barking... but she didn't. This week I was offered a full time position at US WorldMeds. I am so excited to begin working full time. It has really gotten me to think about my future: Will I be a successful, powerful career woman? I love the idea of it and I really feel I could. It would be tricky though- I feel I'd always have to be on my toes looking for the next oppertunity. Will I work really hard for awhile and then be blessed with babies and choose to stay home with them? Will I work full time and just be stressed and barely hanging on, balancing work, kids and everything? It's fun to dream. </div>

Sunday was Chris and I's first wedding anniversary! Sadly, he had to be at the airport at 5:30 am that day, so we celebrated some on Saturday. I had to teach a PB class and then work on my seminar, but I quit with enough time for us to take a nice walk. It was the first warmer day we'd had so Chris, Annabelle and I took advantage of it and walked to a local coffee shop and got some fruit smoothies and enjoyed the beautiful weather and just being with each other. </div>

I hate to be "that person" but seriously our lives have been so crazy that for our anniversary we both just wanted a low key, chill night together. I visualized our first anniversary as being a big night of glitz and glam.... but instead, this weekend, I just wanted chill Chris time. So that's exactly what we had! After our walk, we went to Mellow and got lots of pizza and salads and pretzels and came home and ate our hearts out. </div>

We spent the night watching Friday Night Lights, the show we began watching a LONG time ago, but we just don't have the guts to finish it. I don't know what I'll do when it ends for us!! </div>

I had no idea how much better Chris made my life until this week when he was gone. I had my graduate Seminar this Wednesday. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Translational Control of Neuroligin Expression asa Mechanism for Hyperconnectivity of Neural Circuits Associated with Autism"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I just really had a gloomy few days getting ready for this seminar without Chris. Annabelle did her best to be my #1 buddy and make up for Chris's absence. </div>

So Wednesday I had my seminar and then Thursday I left for Colorado for another Pure Barre Training. And in the middle of that I had real work and taught PB classes. What a CRAZY few days. But anyways Friday Michelle and I spent the day at PB Corporate. I had such a fun time with her. </div>

This post however will not be on anything important.<br />
<br />
It'll be on this cute coffee shop I'm "working on my seminar" at right now. It is wonderful! Small, high energy, yummy, local, filled with many different people: a group of 3 medical student girls, a tourist older couple, a group of 4 business men planning their next event, a creative looking guy typing away on his mac, 2 arabic men meeting for fun, and many people coming in and out.<br />
<br />
Please and Thank You is located in the cute Nu Lu area close to downtown Louisville. Chris and I drive past it whenever we go to school. Today I needed an inspiring place to come work on this seminar and to make the most of my time (oops) since Chris's parents are here, CG tonight, busy life, etc. SO, I am thrilled that I found this gem of a coffee shop. Thanks Louisville!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12951038628593476578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571843480783557095.post-84710910402042081522013-02-20T06:46:00.000-08:002013-02-20T17:49:00.015-08:00LentToday will be one week of the Lent season and I've been confronted with the reality of my sinful nature. I am giving up facebook/twitter/instagram and TV/Netflixs in hopes of turning my attention to Christ. It worked well at the beginning: awkward silence on the elevator at work, I whip out my phone to look at fb and remember it's Lent and I can't, so then I say a prayer for the others in the elevator... this sort of thing. i really was able to quiet myself and ponder verses or prayers I had read that morning. But yesterday, I remembered the world on online shopping! Now I can just scroll through Banana Republic or Lululemon online! I was reminded that Christ is who saves us, we don't save ourselves. Christ dying on the Cross for my sins is what saves me, not what I give up for Lent. It reminded me that there is no quick fix for seeking Jesus. It is a daily humbling of ourselves before his throne admitting we need him and only him.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Praise be that Christ will provide the strength, wisdom and humbling required. Praying that the Lord will speak to us this Lent season and that we are still enough to hear and respond.</div>

Chris and I had a random, lovely afternoon together- We both were finished with school by 2:30 and we both have huge tests on Thursday. Chris's in in Pharmacology and mine is in Cancer Biology. So we packed our study materials up and headed to a local coffee shop, Vint, to study for the afternoon. I don't know about him but I got some awesome studying done! No distractions, but your best friend sitting across the table is the perfect study environment too.</div>

Wednesday morning we woke up early to attend our church's Ash Wednesday service. I think of lent as a season of darkness- as a time to reflect on the depravity of man- that we needed a savior to save us from our sin. After the service though, I left excited and hopeful. I'm looking forward to these 40 days of somber remembrance. I'm looking forward to reflecting on humility, on human frailty, but 1000x's as much I pray I'd look and reflect on the cross. Our pastor said it as practicing for the big Hoo-Rah on Easter Sunday. May our hearts be prepared to fully rejoice in our Christ raising from the dead finishing our debt!</div>

So we put on the warmest athletic clothes we had, packed Annabelle up, grabbed our sled and headed to the seminary to sled! The seminary has such perfect hills for sledding down. Very long and steep but has a incline at the end to slow you down. </div>

Annabelle freaked out the first few times we went down.

Last night I experienced my first NBA game! We drove to Indianapolis to see the Pacers play the Heat. Jenna and I got Chris and Jared tickets for Christmas. It was such a fun afternoon and evening.</div>

After that we waked to the arena for the game! It was filled with some interesting people... I may have been in some culture shock! Don't get me wrong, everyone was lovely and nice, there were just some crazy looking people there! Anyways we had a great time cheering on the teams (Jenna and Jared love Lebron so they cheered for the heat and Chris hates Lebron so we cheered for the Pacers). I loved the dancers and the in between the game. </div>

I don't intend to have a weekend only blog. Monday-Thursdays are filled with lots of fun too. But weekends are SO much fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This weekend did not disappoint- Friday started with an awesome day at work- I was made project manager for a small study we're doing and we had a conference call with key players in the study. I get a rush from group study planning! Then we were taken to lunch to discuss "business" ;) The afternoon flew by with another group meeting to discuss another study. When we finished the last meeting I looked and the time and <i>could not</i> believe it was past 5 and WAY past time to go home! I'm only part time now so I have to stay under a certain amount of hours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I raced home and freshened up to go with Miranda to a Bourbon 101 class. It was extremely informational and neat. I know more about bourbon then I dreamed possible! After our class we met up with Deedee/Josh and Jenna/Jared at our favorite, Doc Crows. We had a fun night and hung out there for awhile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday I was at PB all morning- took 8:30 and then taught 2 classes after that. Then Jenna, Miranda, Amanda and I went on a nice walk to Cherokee Park! It was such a beautiful day to be out so I was so happy we went.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday we churched it and then I did house chores... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Moral of the story we are living in a joyful and fruitful season of life right now. My prayer is that I would still seek and praise Christ for what he did on the cross, not just his abundant blessings right now. I do however feel that sensing true joy in Christ through his blessings, is pleasing... Joyful I am!</div>

When I began my new job at USWorld Meds and left working the desk at Pure Barre, I was afraid that the "family" I had created at Pure Barre wouldn't be there. But it SO hasn't. I'm teaching 4-5 times a week and taking 3-4 times a week and the family atmosphere has stayed. Wednesday after I taught the 7:15 class, a few of my favs and I went to grab a drink at a local restaurant. I had so much fun watching everyone getting to know each other. I love all of these women and am so glad that they all loved each other. Each of us are from pretty different walks of life: teacher, surgeon, students, moms of 5 (ya one of these girls has birthed and is mother to 5 kids!), and much more. Thankful these women are in my life and thankful for all the fun and love they bring into my life.</div>

The past two weekends have been such a blast! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last weekend:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friday night we went to the Silver Dollar with 2 Couples from Chris's Class. Both of which live in our complex. Becca and Jake actually live across the hall from us! It was long over due that we all go to dinner. Silver Dollar was AWESOME. It's a new restauraunt that has opened up next to us. It's a very comfortable swanky, southern atmosphere but set in an old barn and with old big colored Christmas lights hung around the place. The food was southern and a bit of Mexican. Chris had Chicken and waffles and I had an opened faced blackbean/cheese/pico de gillo sandwich. YUM! I loved getting to know Becca and Katie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday I taught PB in the morning and then went to get coffee with a friend Jamie. I love meeting friends one on one for coffee. The Lord blessed our time together so much I feel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That night we went to dinner with another couple friend, Paul and Miranda. I met miranda at Pure Barre and she and Paul are fellow surgeons here for a fellowship. Miranda and I clicked immediately and all 4 of us together really had a great night. We had no idea where we wanted to go for dinner but we got in the car and started driving. Bistro 1860 had just opened up about 1/2 mile from our condo. We could NOT have asked for a better place to spend the evening. There was a long wait for a table but they offered for us to go upstairs to a lounge and it was great. Comfy couches, chic but warm atmosphere and just a great all around vibe. There menu has the option for small medium and large portions so we made it a tapas kind of night. It was YUM! Lobster hush puppies, es cargo, pork tacos, yummy salads.. it was all dish-licking good! The drinks were perfect and last but not least, dessert was heavenly. We had homemade eclairs, chocolate dipped peanut butter cookies, chocolate mouse and a few others. We had a great night with them!</div>

Friday night we went on a date night! We went to Olive Garden (their commercials got us and we were craving it!) and then went to see Les Miserables. It was a great night for the 2 of us. I love spending time with Chris! </div>

After Pure Barre, I went to Taylors to celebrate her birthday! Juli and Liv were over too. Good friends, champagne, home made chocolate cake and comfy cow ice cream make for a perfect afternoon.</div>

After Taylors, we came home and I made some YUMMY cookies and cream brownies (which I didn't take a pic of but should have) and went to my new bosses house to watch the Packers game. It was my first time hanging out with work people outside of work and it was seriously the best. Kristen's little sister graduated from UofL dental school last year so she had some friends over too that chris loved talking with. The whole night was so much fun and it verified how much I love Kristen. She's a B*A in the office but is such a fun, chill and happy person!</div>

Today was my first day of the class, Cancer Biology. It is my last class for my masters and as of now, my last class I'll take forever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, it was an awesome lecture. The director of the <a href="http://www.browncancercenter.org/" target="_blank">Brown Cancer Center</a>, Dr. Miller, gave the lecture. It was an overview of cancer: causes, history of the research, treatments and the future of treatments. The things the cancer center are doing is just awesome. They have a streamlined process for researchers that have a specific therapy target. It includes a computer system with computers in high schools in KY screening millions of different agents to find matches for the specific target program. Not only are they able to find the agent, but the schools that house the computers attract students to the science field. These high schools are in the rural Western Ky. Another cool thing the Cancer center is involved in is finding a cheaper HPV vaccine for third world countries. As it is now, most families in India, sub-Saharan Africa and Central America can not afford this vaccine. And they are basing the research out of Owensborough, another rural KY community. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the past ten years, since Watson and Crick discovered DNA's structure was the double helix, the cure for cancer has much more quickly come in reach and hearing Dr. Miller talk about all of the fabulous work being done by all the brilliant minds at work was inspiring. </div>

Thankful to be allowed the education I have and to hear lectures like this.</div>
