What we have been up to

The past month(s) have been very busy, as evidenced by the lack of posting.  Here are some highlights of what we have been doing:

• Spring Break trip to Palm Beach with the Biancos  We were lucky enough to be able to take a few days off and get out of the dreary north.  We spent 5 days in Palm Beach laying by the pool, walking the beach, and relaxing with family.  We managed to avoid too bad of sunburns, but still ended up a little red.  It was very hard to leave the beach and the sun.  I will post pictures later of our trip.
• ICU Rotation  We spent our last official month as medical students (official because technically our last month is this month, but we are working with a friend who is kind enough to give us some major freedom in our schedule) in the Intensive Care Unit.  We had a good time and enjoyed who we worked with.  Michael especially loved this rotation, he is a fan of critical care medicine and the doctor we worked with is a physiology junkie (Michael's favorite subject).  It was a great learning experience and I am glad we did it before we start our internships.
• Mom's Graduation  This past weekend we traveled to Florida (again, lucky us) to attend my Mom's graduation from college.  She has worked very hard over the past 4 years and finally made it to the end of her long road.  She graduated yesterday and we celebrated afterwards at a luncheon in a new hotel here in Tampa.  We are so proud of her and I am so happy that we were able to witness the graduation ceremony.  Also, while here, we did some hiking and Mom and I shopped for some fabric for a new quilt we are going to work on together.

• Packing  We have spent the past month organizing and packing our house because we are moving this Friday!  I can't believe the time has passed so quickly, but we get the keys tomorrow evening.  Our house is pretty much filled with boxes and so we are ready to go.  We can't wait, the new house has central heat and air and with the recent hot weather in Philly, we can't move fast enough.  Once we get settled, I will post pictures of the house.
