A LONG Week!

Orientation week was pretty crazy. Colby was gone everyday from 8-5 sitting through introductory lectures, computer training and Basic Life Support and then had a social event every evening. I got to go along to a few and just the 3 that I went to made me tired. We had a wonderful time getting to meet new people and really like the people in his class. I joined the spouses association, so hopefully I'll be able to meet some other wives and be able to help out with class support and make some new friends. We decided that we haven't been this social since we were at Baylor, nor have we had so much free food since then!

I also had my Chemotherapy certification workshop and testing at the hospital on Tues/Wed. so now I'm good to go with administering "safe chemo." That sounded like the biggest oxymoron the whole time, but I do feel like I know a whole lot more about it and will finally be able to do everything independently on my floor once I'm checked off of the actual administering.

Here is a picture of our nametag collection from the week from all the events. Keep in mind we even threw away a few before deciding to save them on the dashboard. :)

A Night in Uptown Dallas

Friday was so much fun as Colby and I headed to Dallas to spend a night with some of our Baylor friends. We had dinner with Celeste and Mace, Amy and Shelton, and Jessi and Jeff at the S & D Oyster Bar in Uptown and then headed over to the Gingerman Pub to say goodbye to Brooke and Mikey P who are moving down to Rockport. The Uptown area was really a hot spot and there were so many people out and about walking around. It was such a fun time to get to spend time with good friends. We hope to get to meet some fun Fort Worth friends to go out and see the sights here!

Dinner with Friends

Last night we had a wonderful dinner with our friends Andrew and Kristin Stein and Justin Banta. Andrew, Banta, and Colby were roommates together at Baylor so it was so fun to catch up. For us, it was definitely a breath of fresh air to be able to spend time with friends, since we don't know too many people here in Ft. Worth yet. We had an amazing time and thank you guys for driving all the way here in traffic just to come visit! :) It just dawned on me that we should have taken some pictures, but here's some old ones...
