MS2.

Today, Christian takes his last exam as an MS1 (first year medical student). We are almost upon our one year anniversary here in Phoenix. SO NUTTY. I can't believe how fast it went. It has been a busy/tumultuous/exciting/crazy year. Here's a recap of what we were up to July of last year:
(WARNING: photo-heavy recap of the move/white coat)

First, the move. Middle of July. We left early to beat the heat (it was 115 degrees the day we moved in).

AMAZING help from both Christian's family and my family. Kyle moved a lot of heavy things (and got really sweaty). Now that I think about it, we all got pretty sweaty. Taylor/Savannah/Ethan/Megan got really good at putting together Ikea furniture.

Yes, my teddy moved up to Phoenix with us. Don't judge.

And then: the first day of medical school!!! July 2010.

Then the house started coming together....

Then, White Coat!!!

Engagements - Oct. 2010

Christian, I am SO unbelievably proud of all the work you've put in the last year. Not only did you ROCK medical school like it's your job ('cause it actually kind of is your job right now), but you supported me through one of the more funky years of my life. If this year is any indication of how the next three years will go, I am proud and happy to be along for the ride. Here's to three more years of med school crazy. :)

WE LOVE YOU.
