Halloween





Can I just make one thing very clear- I love Jess with all my heart. However, I tend to be a little more outgoing than him, and Halloween and/or dressing up would be one of those instances. We had a Halloween party/Chili cook-off to attend, and I started asking Jess about what he wanted to dress up as. "Dress up?" he asked me, as if it were the most absurd thought I had ever come up with (and believe me, I have some pretty absured ideas!). "I am not dressing up." he proclaimed. Thus began my quest of costumes that I could convince Jess to dress up in. Finally, he agreed to be a "patient" if I grabbed a gown from work. So, I wore my work clothes and Jess stuck a band-aid on his forehead, and voila! Insta-costume. Most people asked me if I had come straight from work, then they saw Jess wearing a gown and figured it out. At least he was burned from the football game that day-usually he really is my patient and I have to go retrieve him from some biking accident or care for turf burns covering 25% of his extremities. As much as I love laboring women, Jess will always be my favorite patient!!

Jess's birthday



Should be going to bed, instead I'm blogging. We celebrated Jess's 25th birthday last week. Unfortunately, it was on a Wednesday, and that weekend was busy. Sorry, babe. However, we did go try a new Thai restaurant that Friday night (Halloween). We went with our good friends, Jeff and Aubrey Amelang. We got to try lots of yummy food and sit in the fun little booths. The floor is raised in the booths so that you sit on a cushion and the table is lap-level, but you can slip your feet underneath the table. All the comfort of American dining with the appearance of Asian authenticity! We voted the Massaman curry the winning dish.
