Meeting Matt's fellow student doctors

Today we met the other students doing rotations with Matt and their significant others. We went to a Mexican place near our house. Everyone told stories about the rotation that they are on and gave opinions of the doctors. It was fun to hear what everyone was getting to do. I don't think any of us will be best buddies but it will nice to have a group of people to get together with.

Matt is on call this weekend which means he has to go in at 7 a.m. and he got home about 1:30 this afternoon. I really think that this is a great place for Matt to be learning. The Doctors really challenge him to think and know why and what things are. I'm really proud of Matt and how well he is doing. He is going to be a great doctor!

A Fun Night!

Matt and I have been so thankful to have the Laytons here in Cuyahoga. We have really enjoyed being able to spend time with all of them. Last night Matt and I watched Emi, Paige and Evan while Missy and Miles went out. We had a great time. We painted pumpkins, made ghosts and had dinner. It was fun to see the girls get so excited about painting. Matt was helping the girls and he said to Paige "lets make eyes on your pumpkin" so he is making perfect circles and then Paige takes her brush and swirls all the colors together. Matt's face was priceless and Paige was so proud of her work :) We had a really fun night!

Halloween

It has been really fun having a house that we have been able to decorate for Halloween. I thought that I would be crafty and make ghosts to set outside. It went pretty well but I think in the future I will let someone else be crafty and I will purchase their work :) Matt and I are excited to have trick o treaters. We have always bought candy and never really have had anyone come but we live in a great neighborhood that I'm sure we will have a lot of kids.

Flowers

In our yard we have a rose bush and this other tree that has pretty little flowers on it. Matt has been really sweet and has kept the vase full. I'm excited that we have been able to use the neat vase that Neil made me. If you would like to purchase one let me know and I'm sure Neil would love to make one for you :)

What to do?

If anyone would have asked if I thought I would be unemployed in October I would have said no way! But in fact I am. In the last two months I have become a professional interviewer. So what do I do with all that free time? Well I have my schedule of tv shows starting at 10 a.m to noon and then taking a break until 3 p.m. I have enjoyed having time to cook dinner and being able to bake. Unfortunately, Matt and I cannot keep up with everything I'm making. A few things I have made is an apple pie, different kinds of scones and breads. Here are some scones in these neat Martha Stewart gift bags.
