Fun Weekend

Ross and I had a fabulous weekend reminiscent of our busy lives in Columbus...we were busy every day/night beginning on Thursday! Here is a quick recap of our whirlwind weekend. On Thursday night the 2nd Dental Battalion had a "Dining out" that was, as some people like to call it, mandatory fun. It was a formal, semi-scripted dinner loaded with military flare and traditions from the times of round tables and swords. It had some funny moments and was generally a good time...but having to wait to go the bathroom can be killer for a pregnant lady! Look at how handsome Ross is in his dress whites...Tom Cruise has nothing on you, babe! I must also send out a thank you to my friend Maria Miller for lending me a formal maternity dress. I was not looking forward to trying to find something- and it fit perfectly :)



This is the time of year when there is a lot of turnover at Ross' work with people leaving the clinic to rejoin the civilian world or transfer to another base. In a few weeks/months these spots will be filled with new graduates or transfers. On Friday night we went out to dinner with our friends Lori , Colby & Cameron to bid them farewell. Lori was a Lieutenant at Ross' clinic and they lived one street away from us. Even though Colby is a die-hard Washington husky fan, we spent our football Saturday's watching football together and cheering on each other's teams. We also liked to go out to dinner and get together to hang out whenever we could. They are moving to Washington this week and we will miss them!

Saturday evening we went to another going away party for Lt. Mukul Dave. He was also at Ross's clinic for the past 2 years and has been a great friend. He will be moving to Pittsburg to begin a pediatric dentistry residency... we will miss him!

Finally, on Sunday we met up with our friend Natalie and her family in Myrtle beach, SC for a day of fun in the sun. Sorry- somehow we forgot the camera and have no pictures!
