Friends

@ Ben's for a pot luck. Since I had prior arrangements and couldn't make it to dinner, my contribution consisted of 7-11 cookies. Surprisingly, they were very tasty.

Kim's Graduation

Jaime and I traveled down to North Carolina this weekend for Kim's graduation from East Carolina University. Kim is now a CRNA. For those of you who don't know what this means, I have provided Wikipedia's definition for you.

Definition:

A nurse anesthetist is a nurse who specializes in the administration of anesthesia.

In the United States, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) is an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN), a registered nurse (RN) who has acquired graduate-level education in anesthesia overseen by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists's (AANA), Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs.

For some of us, her title is impossible to pronounce, so this should indicate how tough of a program this is. :-)

It is crazy to think Kim and I have been friends since 7th grade and met in math class. Both of us had on floral Limited Too tee shirts. Oh, how time flies.

We are all very proud of Kim and her accomplishments and missed her in DC while she was gone for 28 months. She is moving back now and already has a job! Congrats Kim! Love you!

Ocean City

We traveled to Ocean City, MD last weekend to visit Kristin. Cody got to come with along and was able to play in water for the first time! It was great to visit with Kristin and relax.

We went to one of my favorite restaurants/bars in OC on Saturday and hung out on the bay-side. Surprisingly, Macky's is a dog friendly restaurant! There were tons of other pups there and Cody had the best time!

Easter 2010

We spent Easter weekend at home in Virginia. Josh's cousin and her family traveled in from Ohio and stayed with Brad, Michelle and the kids. We also enjoyed time with my side of the family at my mom's on Sunday.
