Rank List is In!

Yesterday was the last day to turn in rank lists for residency so some of the class celebrated having their "fates sealed" by going to Newts. We got there late because Brandon had been working but it was still fun to chat with some of his classmates. Now, we just have to wait until March 19th, Match Day, to find out where we will end up for the next 5 years! We will have quite a busy spring with Match Day, going to Bolivia in April/May, graduation in May and then Nick and Joy's wedding in June!

I don't think I have officially congratulated them on their engagement so "Congratulations Nick & Joy!". For those of you that don't know, Brandon and I introduced Nick and Joy a couple of years ago when she was out here visiting. They didn't start dating however, until this past summer when Joy moved out here and the rest is history. We are very excited for them. We finally had them over for a late celebratory lunch this past Sunday which was fun. I made the collage down below and framed it for them as an engagement gift.

This past Friday we went and saw some ice sculptures in the plaza downtown. Afterwards, we went to dinner with Nick, Cassi and Adam and then went back to their place for games. I don't wan to start thinking about it but I will be very sad if we have to part ways from all of the amazing friendships we have built here...


On a brighter note, on Sunday night the anatomy professor, who Brandon assisted for a year ago, invited us over to teach us how to make authentic chicken curry. She was so patient with us especially since she doesn't usually measure things and she did just so that I could write it down in my recipe book. Brandon and I both learned and he did a great job. We even learned how to make the rotis that goes with the chicken curry...it was so good!

Afterwards, we watched the Academy Awards with her which I thought were very entertaining this year. Maybe it's because we knew someone who was up for a nomination - my sister's husband's good friend was the editor of Milk. He has also edited a bunch of other movies like the Xmen movies and is still pretty young so I bet he will get his chance someday. He got 3 tickets so he took his parents and then my sister's husband with him to the awards. He even got a picture on the red carpet which I have included down below...Jeff, you are famous! ;)
