Oh my.  It has been a long time since I have written.  Spring has really been quite busy for me!!  First of all, I got a new camera, which I love, so be ready for excessive amounts of floral pictures! And/or pictures of zebras and giraffes in the not so distant future. 

More than a month ago it was spring break, which I really enjoyed.  Ryan, Charley, Nina and I visited Boulder for a trip to the tea factory, brunch at my favorite ever Brasserie 1010, and shuffleboard with Brock.  It was a real treat!  We also spent a couple days in Avon where I thouroughly enjoyed hot tubbing, snow shoeing, and chilling out in Vail.  Sigh.  

School started again with a new block- cardiovascular, pulmonary and renal.  I have really liked it so far- we are finally starting to use our brains!!! As always, I am getting ready for my South Africa trip, which I am insanely excited about!  We even learned how to splint!  Here is a pic of  Ashley and Christina- my partners in crime for the trip.  We are going to run up and down Signal Hill, along the beachy promenades, and hang out in an ED all day together!

I have been doing my best to be a happy and healthy lady (although it has proven to be somewhat of a challenge).  I got to celebrate lots of birthdays this month, including delightful meals with Moats (@ Root Down, yum!), Ryan (@Cheeky Monk, double yum), and with the girls on Sunday night.  

Other than that, I have been keeping up with the boxing and frisbee-ing, and I even started teaching Abs class.  Let’s just say I am really sore all the time because I work out hard and infrequently :) In other geekiness, I have learned an extra lot about EKG’s, ultrasound, and internal medicine lately, and I really like all of them.  I also went to a personality workshop and confirmed that I am still an ENFP.  Guess who else is? Brooke! And we even dress the same, creepy….

Other than that, I have just been trying to have lots of fun, including pot lucks, girlie manicure/martini evenings, meeting new kids for second look day, taking heaps of jumping photos, and celebrating with Michelle her future marriage.

Up next is the spring Colorado Medical Society conference in Vail, focused on physician wellness and payment reform, right up my alley.  Overall, it has been a glorious spring so far, and I can’t wait for summer!
