June 21st

So... what's everybody doing on June 21st? Because, we're moving!!! We were offered a 3 bedroom and went and looked at it, didn't really like it because the hallway to move in was so narrow we didn't think our furniture would fit but then we were offered a different one, with a different stairwell that will hopefully accommodate our furniture better. We haven't seen the place yet, but I saw one that is supposedly the same, so lets cross our fingers... I'm hoping to get in and take a peak later this evening if the current resident agrees. I'm a little nervous to move, the bedrooms are smaller but overall there is a lot more room.
This is where Coen was born though, and I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to leave yet. But we are so crowded so I know we will enjoy our space better. So if anyone is available to help move that would be great. Let me know!

Finals week

Well finals week is here again. At the start of my third year it feel like I would never be done with school but honestly third year went so much faster than I ever imagined it could. In just three days I will be done with finals and my last day of clinic as a D3. Then a week in Florida and May 12 I will be a D4. The fourth and final year! Amazing.

All I have to do is pass an oral surgery and orthodontic exam, see two more patients and I am free! We leave Thursday when Josh finishes class, around 6:30 for Florida. We'll be driving all night the first night, taking it slow but steady Friday, getting a hotel wherever we end up Friday night and making it to our resort in Fort Myers Beach sometime Saturday where we will spend 6 days 5 restful nights at the Pink Shell Resort (www.pinkshell.com) where Coen can play outside without his winter coat and maybe even go barefoot! Then early Thursday morning we will start our adventure back home, hopefully without having to get a hotel. I cannot wait!

Kitchen

So dad made us a new shelf/counter for our kitchen. It was to expand our counter and give us a place to put our microwave. We had a small microwave cart prior but it was just that, small. So dad dropped it off after work today and we set about rearranging our kitchen to accommodate our new furniture. We don't have 4 person access to our table but we rarely need 4 so when we do we can just pull it out, otherwise we feel that it gives us more space and sooo much more counter and shelf space. The unit was built to put the microwave underneath but I think we'll try it out on top for awhile. Here's some pics, sorry there are no before shots.

Coen's party

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that Coen's first birthday party is Saturday at noon, at mom and dads. Everyone's invited.

I can't believe Friday he'll be one, it went so fast. Friday will also be Coen's first ball game. He went to a couple in utero but those don't really count cause he couldn't experience all five senses of baseball. In fact his first ball game was Twins v. Royals at Kansas City.
