Getting to Know You

It was great meeting many of you at the BBQ and White Coat Ceremony! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better. I have posted links to family blogs on the side, email me if you would like yours included.

Wasn't the White Coat Ceremony great? I must admit I got a bit teary at times. Hearing all the students and doctors recite the Hippocratic Oath was something I had been looking forward to for some time now. Actually experiencing it made me realize how blessed Bob & I (well, all of us!) are to be here beginning this next phase of our lives.

I was surprised by how busy Bob was during orientation but it was nice to get a small taste of what to expect for the next little (okay, very long) while. Bob and I have spent a lot of time together this summer and I am a bit sad to leave the lazy days behind. As I took down the countdown to the white coat ceremony I wondered what I should put up in its place. Maybe I'll put up a countdown to when we no longer have to share our significant others with school, rotations, and crazy work hours.

Ha ha . . . I don't think it works in years. :)

Save the date!

Hey all,

It has been awhile since I've posted. Hope you have all been busy enjoying your summer :)

Just wanted to remind you of some fun activities up ahead. First off we have the White Coat Ceremony on July 20th. It will be at Kingsbury Hall at 1:00 PM. Bob and I will be kicking off this event at Ruth's Diner with our families, an amazing diner up Emigration Canyon. If you haven't been there: GO!! They have a patio area out back and live music. The atmosphere and food are top notch! (Also, check out Blue Plate Diner!)

So, back to the subject. The next activity is the First Year BBQ on Thursday, August 19 from 6 - 7:30. An email was sent to all first years about how to RSVP and where it will be held. If you did not receive that email or need that info feel free to email me and I will forward it to you.

And last, but not least, the All School Picnic will be on August 26 from 6 - 9. This will be a great opportunity for you to meet all the other great people on the MSA board! If you need that info I can forward you that email as well.

I'm excited to meet you all!

P.S. Email me your blog address if you would like a link posted to it on this blog. I've received a few emails with blog addresses but I think I will wait to post them until we get a few more. Also, if you're still interested in running the Halloween Half Marathon there is still time (12 weeks) to train for it!
