Match Day!

Ricky is going into Anesthesiology and will complete his residency at _________________ !!!

(in an attempt to retain some privacy, see facebook or instagram for location , they are private so I know you're a friend if you see it there ;)

I seriously could not be more proud of my hardworking, smart, dedicated husband and we are so excited for this new adventure!!! It's going to be quite the exciting year.

A few things that (to me) are stressful about moving:

• having to tell boss that we're moving
• deciding whether to rent or buy
• finding a place to rent or buy
• finding a new job (& everything that entails!)
• packing/loading
• unloading/unpacking (mostly because my husband likes it to all be done the same day...because he can't stand living in chaos..which stresses me out but then after the fact I secretly love that it's all done)

any and all moving advice is welcome, please!! 

trying to take a picture in the bright sunshine…no bueno

After lunch we met up with Jamie and Bella, yay!

Yes, my husband is 27 going on 87 (note his socks)...

got to see my Jamie!

& then we joined Rick's classmates for match day festivities

CHIRLEY OUR FAVORITE!

& then we found out we made it into the match day write-up: 

In case you can't read that…(see first bullet point)

YES he is so cheesy and sweet and I blushed BAD but I could just read that over and over because it made my heart melt. Also, the audience collectively said "awwww"…nobody screamed "ahhh"…& for the record, my name doesn't have an "e" at the end ;)

& that was match day :) it was everything it's cracked up to be.

p.s. any and all moving advice is still welcome. seriously. 

Mostly Pictures of Our February Highlights!

February was much like every month for us as far as food goes...

We discovered our LOVE of kale chips - yum!

my favorite cookie, home made strawberry sorbet, and free chocolates from the hospital.

       

"there's a time and place to watch our carbs and this ain't it" -Rick in regards to fried pickles & rolls.

our typical grocery purchases these days. Rick lost weight on the blue bell diet. Seriously. On right - steak with gorgonzola herb butter, asparagus, and mashed cauliflower (delicious! but I did omit the chives and bullion..added a little milk before immersion blending...and instead of putting butter on top i blended it in with everything)

We spoke in church. Rick gave an amazing talk on happiness and used a few quotes from this great talk
I spoke on the temple - here is a last minute screenshot of a quote I meant to include:

The second half of February got pretty busy:

I made Rick cinnamon rolls....he got me a massage and planned an elaborate weekend away to Disney.

an explanation of this, here

*whistle* ...sorry honey I know that will embarrass you

  

the universe was nice after the accident and we got this room/view & free dessert at dinner

NAN! My great friend that helped Rick pull off the surprise.

"Flights of Wonder" at Animal Kingdom is an incredible show!

Pretty sure that song has been stuck in America's head since it came out.  ^ 

My old roommate "Kuh-rye-nuh" came to see us, we had to show off our vip suite!!! love this girl so much...she's seriously one of the most amazing people you'll ever meet.

I'll share this quote I posted around Valentine's day again because I love it that much: 

Car selfies on the way to meet friends
