more fun in Chi-town

Ok there is a story here. I have been doing pretty much nothing lately except studying for tests... I like to be comfy and warm so this is what I end up looking like... Brett thinks it's really funny.... anyway  I was coming out of the bathroom and Brett was standing right there to scare me...anyway it worked and I had pretty much a heart attack.... so I of course chased him and he ran into the kitchen where I followed and because of these awesome socks... I biffed it pretty bad right there on the kitchen floor... so while I was down Brett tackled me ... of course! I was laughing SO hard and was so angry at the same time and my knee hurt and I was being tackled and he was laughing... so he tried to help me up but I kept sliding on these dang cute socks.... finally I made it up and one minute later i was getting a drink and I don't know how hw does it he snuck up behind me and scared me again....!!!!!!!!! so I dropped my water bottle and screamed.... Anyway  I seriously love our marriage and our life together!  Everyday just gets better and better...

We did a trade with a professional photographer Jenna cole of Jenna cole photography  She is awesome We babysit her adorable son while she has sessions and in return we work off hours so we can get our family done as well!  We think we scored big because we could never afford her any other way and besides her son is so cute and fun!

Brett found this alley and we loved taking pics there... He is such a good sport!

Out on the town!

When Lisa and Jenny Pierce visited B&T they took us to this awesome steak house! mmmm. mouth watering.

Brett's first day of Internal med rotation. He did 4 weeks with Dr. Husane, 4 weeks at 4:30 am every single day....with Dr. Kumar (the one who invited us to the benefit dinner) and now is in 4 weeks with Dr. Suh.  He has really learned a lot and is getting smarter and smarter all the time! :)

Navy Pier in Chicago. Date day!  you can eat lunch or dinner in that hot air balloon!

Brett has a big mouth!

Date night off to see Shrek the musical... We had ok seats but right before we went inside a woman offered her WAY better and more expensive tickets for FREE!!! her daughter canceled on her at the last minute and she didn't want to go anymore... so we called B&T and gave them our ok tickets and sat up front it was a blast!!!!! Brett really liked it!!!

Yeah we're having a blast here in Chicago!!!

It's getting cold though we'll see what we think about winter!

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!

Chicago style pizza at Giradanos! date night!

At Octoberfest!

Brett at the Bulls game!

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!
