Last quarter, Chris had a class where the big assignment was to shoot a fashion look book for a local boutique. The boutique had a show for their opening fall line. When we got there, we realized we were seriously underdressed, so we had a drink, had lots of fun looking at the clothes, looked at the cool cars parked outside, and went down the street to have dinner. It was lots of fun though to see his pictures hanging. I absolutely loooooove this bag!!! We did buy one thing though, an outfit for Sophie. Yes, Sophie is our friends Yorkie.

I laughed Out Loud

One of the things about being a nurse is that you get a crazy amount of mail. So when this month's Nurse's Week (yeah, kinda weird...it's not a weekly publication with that name) came in the mail I eagerly opened it up and began reading. Well not really, I just happened to be bored so I flipped through it. Anyways, I came across this article about a hospital in Oregon. The nurses have to wear yellow sashes when they're administering medications so that nobody interrupts them in hopes of decreasing medication errors. I know that this is important and that medication errors actually kill a number of people yearly in hospitals, but this is hilarious. Where I worked we took a more modern approach to passing meds. The patients had barcodes on their armbands and we scanned the patient and the medication. Salem Hospital FBC ladies...be thankful for the scanners!!!

Comments Please

So I was debating about whether or not to post this wonderful picture from our dinner out last night, but the wives decided it should be out there for the world to view. Since moving here, Chris and Kyle have become great friends. (Now let's see how long they let me leave this up).

When You're Going Out for Indian...

...you had better check to see if they're open. We went out for Indian food (for the first time) with Kyle and Regan. This is their favorite place...too bad they're not currently open for business. So we ended up at Desi Spice (which in my opinion, was very good, but overpriced). We also me their friend Gigi with the great dane. For those of you that don't know Kyle and Regan, every time they talk about Gigi, they say "Gigi with the great dane." Thanks guys, but how many Gigi's do you think there is around here? We think we know who she is. :) Then we went to Apre Diem for desert...YUM!!

A day off

Regan and I both had the day off today, so we drove up to Dawsonville to the outlets...what fun!!!!

The Debate

What better way to watch the VP debate than with a bottle of Merlot and Figo to go. Now Adam and Kyle, I am not going to get into an argument because I really haven't made up my mind, but I will say this. Being a healthcare provider, I do not want the government making any healthcare decisions. Yes, the Caprese lid says CRAPrese. I thought it was pretty funny.

Our Neighborhood

For those of you who are interested in where we live, we decided to take you on a tour of our neighborhood. We are lucky to be able to walk to most places, so last Sunday night we walked to our small group. It only takes about 30 minutes. It's nice to have the grocery store right across from our apartment. Yes, this is called a package store, but it's actually a liquor store. Don't ask me why they call it a package store. Fellini's Pizza, some say the best in town, I don't agree. They finally are putting a sidewalk down this street. Now we can safely walk places. There are a lot of monuments along the way, a nice history lesson. A few of my favorite houses. This is Piedmont Hospital, one of the better hospitals in this city. The fire hydrants are silver...weird. And now we arrive at the Means' condo. It's probably about 2 miles away. The Reves live right across the street, so we often switch condos for small group.
