fun in Chicago

So we have been in Chicago since August 2010. We really are loving it here!  Brett is so close to finishing his internal medicine rotation!  He has been working with the Doctors from a hospital close by our house called Jackson Park hospital. The actual hospital is kind off in the ghetto but where we live is really nice and a block away from the beach of Lake Michigan! I have been SO busy with school taking 18 credits including a math class that takes up most of my time. In three weeks I will be done with Math FOREVER! hurray!
In the last while I have visited Utah in October to see family and take a developing team leadership class required for my major of Technical Sales. I also visited California with my friend Tori for her baby shower. Tori's family let me stay with them and we had a blast of a weekend having the shower, shopping, and just getting to know her family and hometown. While I was gone Brett and Brandon Tori's hubby went to a Chicago Bulls game and they had a blast as well!   Well we have found a custard place to replace Neilson's in Bountiful  it's called Scooters and we LOVE it! it is the destination of many of our dates!  We were called to be the activities people for the ward a few weeks before Halloween and then last sunday we were released, I guess the church is disolving the activities committees.  Brett is starting to study for CS (clinical science) part of step 2 he will take it in February crazy that we are already to step 2!
This weekend we have our firs dress up medical dinner.... I don't really know what to call it. Brett was invited by the last doctor he worked with, to go to this dinner and lucky me I get to go too! I guess it's a benefit dinner for the Medical association of American and Indian doctors... I probably got that wrong...
here are some pics highlighting our time here so far!

The do not pass sign in front of President Obamas house. The sign says that if you walk past the sign you and anything you are wearing or carrying will be searched!  There are Secret Service everywhere! If Obama was a Mormon he would be in our ward! ha ha!
