Miami


We are on the 10 day count down for the move to Miami!


Brett has an exam tomorrow and also next thursday and then he is done with 4th semester!!!





We are excited for him to get into hospitals and clinics and get to do more hands on learning! We are moving to the Coral Gables area which we hear good things about from previous residents. We will be in Miami from Aug 21st - Dec 7th. I have never lived in a big city like Miami so we will see how it goes!
Brett and I are taking the cruise ship over to Ft. Lauterdale on the 21st we are planning on getting him all settled and cozy for his study-a-thon for the comp. While he is busy studying I will be flying home to Utah ( :( sadly only for 24 hours). I will be picking up my mama
, the car and my cute Dog Koellie.
Mom and I will be driving through Oklahoma on our way to Miami and we are so lucky that we are able to stop and have dinner with Elder Call ( Casey) and the Neilsons the family that he lives with. That will be so fun!!! Mom will be staying in Miami with us for a night before she flies home to the fam again. I am looking forward to the road trip with mom and Koellie! not looking forward to leaving Brett though!
So Miami will be another adventure we can add to our list. We hear great things about it and are really excited to go to some games and fun places.

The 5th semester students are SUPER busy in Miami they are going to hospitals, doing shifts in the ER, I talked to one a few weeks ago and he assisted in removing bullets from a guys leg... I tried to imagine Brett digging for bullets.... Or cutting the pants off the guy.... interesting thought. I don't think Brett wants to do emergency medicine though but the experience is still very cool! Brett is studying like a mad man for these last two tests. The test he has next week is a 6 hour accumulative exam!

Here is some info about Miami:
Established in 1896, Miami had a small population of 1,500 people. Back then Miami was mostly used for vegetable and citrus plantations.
Miami sure has grown since those days. Known today as the melting pot of North and South America, Miami is the habitat for people of all nations, and it sure shows in the variety of cultures one sees here.
