Week Two

Amy and I were able to go to the brewers game last Friday. It was the craziest baseball ggame I have ever been to. They tailgate hours before the game, drinking tons. They drink beer until they enter the gate and then then drink like no other once they are inside. It was pretty entertaining watching all the drunk people make fools of themselves. The fans were all way into the game, it was way fun to watch the whole time.

This week was orientation week for Amy and I, lots of activities and meetings. On Monday, we had a huge meeting on financial aid and how much debt we are going to be in. They basically scared us to death, and then graciously lunch was provided by the military offering to pay for our whole school plus 20,000 dollar bonus. I thought it was a pretty cheap move by the government, trying to scare us into the military.

On Wednesday, we went to the zoo with Natalie and she loved the "kitty kitty" or the lion. Her favorite thing was the fish, she sat there with her face pressed against the aquarium and laughed at all the fish. However, when a shark would come near her she would scream and back off. Natalie loves the zoo.

Natalie also went swimming with her new friend myleigh in our backyard, she loves swimming.

On Thursday we went to a root beer/beer brewery with some friends. We did a tour and at the end we were able to drink as much soda as we wanted. We paid for Natalie so we decided "what the heck, let her drink soda." She loved the rootbeer and orange soda and once the sugar got into her system she went bonkers. She was running all around screaming, crawling under furnitures, etc. she was hilarious. As you will see in the pictures she went crazy.

To finish off the week I had the "White Coat Ceremony." This is a ceremony were we are given our first white coat and is kind of the initiation into the medical profession. It was a really neat ceremony.

This is me getting my white coat on.

New House

So our house is slowly coming together. The main floor is now finished enough so I can show you picutures of it and also of the front and back yards. I am too scared to finish the basement because, in case you have not heard, we have mice. I think we have finally taken care of the problem, but I am still going to wait a couple of days before I finish down there. Anyway, here are the pictures of our house. I love it!

Week One

There she is our beast of a moving truck.We were able to travel with no incident across the country. The drive was exhaustingly boring, but we survived. Amy even took her turn driving the truck as you can see.

It has been a week since we have left Provo and we are loving it here in Milwaukee. Amy absolutley loves our house, i is way nice and Natalie loves the backyard she shares with her new friend Myleigh.

Well we arrived here on Friday and Patrick's mom flew Natalie in on Saturday. We picked them up at the airport, however, on the way home the freeway was closed so we followed a couple of cars over the median and onto a side road and our trusty GPS detoured us right through the ghetto, Welcome to Wisconsin MOM. She was a little freaked out so we had to drive her around the nice area to calm her down. Oh and the other day coming back from Costco Mr. GPS lead us right throught the ghetto again, there has to be someway to block that area off. Don't get me wrong that GPS is the greatest investment we have ever made, other than the two ghetto experiences it does pretty well.

Oh and did I mention I, have a new love? I have broken up with Cafe Rio and have fallen in love with chipotles. Chipotles blows cafe rio out of the water and plus it is three dollars cheaper to eat there. I have only eaten there 3 times, Amy has since limited me. It is amazing. For those of you in Utah that still have't tried it, there is one up near southtowne mall.

A couple days ago we discovered that Milwaukee also has beaches as you can see below.

Yesterday, we drove into Chicago and went to Wrigley Field to watch the cubs game. It was a spiritual experience being in Wrigley Field. Natalie loved only about one inning and then she was ready to run around like a crazy lady. We were able to get there and back pretty fast, on the way there we realized we are 7 minutes from Miller Park, where the Brewers play. We are 30 minutes from 6 flags, and the jelly belly factory. We are still discovering Milwaukee and may go to a brewers game tomorrow night. Enjoy the rest of the pictures.

This is a little section of the Medical School, the campus it huge and way clean and nice.
