fun with the fam

My parents came to visit last weekend and we had tons of fun! They get a 2-for-1 now when they come to Dallas because Sarah lives in Denton now. They spent a couple nights up there with her and then they all came down to stay with us for a few days. We ate at a lot of Dallas restaurants, watched a lot of Olympics, and talked politics. :) Luke hung out with us a lot too, which was great!

By the way, I really miss the Olympics and wish there was a TV network that played re-runs for the rest of the year for those of us who couldn't watch the daytime/non-weekend events. Another solution would be Tivo, or as my sister says, "Divo". :)

Back to the Blogging Board

Well, It's officially been like 3 weeks since I've posted on here. I'm still trying to find out if anyone really reads this thing... so if I do have any fans, I hope I haven't disappointed you with my long absence. I'm back!!

To update you on our lives .... Matt is back in Dallas, woohoo! And we have no plans for any more extended absences. He'll start interviewing for residencies in November, but those will just be quick trips, no more of these month-long adventures. We did have fun seeing our families in Colorado the last weekend in July, but it was just a quick visit.

There's really not much else new with us! I'm still busy with work, and Matt is now in the middle of an E.N.T. rotation here in Dallas. He enjoys it & really likes the people he works with. After this rotation, he won't have any more ENT until residency!

We've been to Gloria's twice since he's been back. It's our fave Mexican restaurant in Dallas and I REALLY missed going there when Matt was gone. We usually go about every week. Amazingly, we can order chicken-fajitas-for-1 and they will have them at our table within 60 seconds of us placing our order. Now that's great service. :)
