Honeymoon Pics!!!




Here are a few pics:

Honeymoon!

Okay, I'm sorry I'm late to post this blog. The blog nazi has been texting me and sending oh so subtle of hints that it is time to post.



So .....as some of you know Brian and I went to the beautiful island of Maui after our super fun wedding!!!! (Thanks to all of you who could make it!) We stayed at the Westin in Ka'anapali which was a gorgeous part of the island. Everyday we went on a new adventure. We took a helicopter tour of the island and saw where parts of Jurassic Park were filmed. We flew over volcanoes and the rain forest as well as sugarcane farms and beaches. It was amazing! We also got to go on a sunset sail in this huge sail boat called the Gemini. We had a fabulous time hanging with people who were celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. We aslso did our fair share of snorkeling around Black Rock in front of the Sheraton resort. The pictures are from that area. They turned out really well for an underwater camera. The turtles were my favorite to see. I was a little nervous at first because they would come within inches of your face. I actually panicked the first time and pushed Brian in front of me in case they were going to bite! He wasn't thrilled because it ended up happening more than once that I would hide behind him underwater. He was more adventurous than I and would go out further. He even saw a huge mantaray! The puffer fish and the flute fish were also my favorite.



So now after all of the festivities we are back in California loving our home in Playa del Rey. Just last saturday we looked out on our deck and saw a huge pod of dolphins swimming so close to shore right in front of our house. It was awesome. So even though we live far away from family at this time, we are loving the area and taking advantage of it's beauty!



I am now a working woman again at L.A. Children's Hospital in Hollywood. It is my second week and I am enjoying it thus far. The unit I'm working on is much higher acuity than my floor in San Diego. So basically that means, for you non-medical folks, the kids are a lot sicker. I will be constantly learning new procedures and diagnoses. Fun stuff!



Wish we could make it to Ptown for Turkey Day, but we will be cooking our own bird in our new home in SoCal. If any of you are in the neighborhood we would love to have you!

Allright, Cakie, here is my update :

I just spent the weekend in minnesota for a district American Student Dental Association meeting. The weather was cold, mullets were flowing, and Hockey was on the tube in all the bars. Minneapolis gets two thumbs up. There is no more sun in Omaha -- I spend all day in a window-less room, and by the time I get out the sun is at its downfall. Setting me up for a rather dismal winter, I'm afraid.

Today I spent five hours trying to carve the twelve facets of a maxillary first molar into the occlusal table. That is my favorite class of the week. Last week we eviscerated our cadaver; the day before he was emasculated! There are only three weeks left in my first semester and the worst classes of my career will be over. Yahoo!

Caitlin McHugh just asked me out on a date over Christmas break. Sweet...

Hope all is well with the Clan back in Washington -- I cant wait to see you all in December.

Blog almost all time low

Hi everyone...
It's been waaaay too long since the last blog was posted so I have made a list of people that I expect to hear from in the next few weeks to be writing a post of their own, both newsy and interesting. :
Eamonn didn't you go to China?

Lizzie aren't you on the east cost?
Jack and Bridget, didn't you just start college?
Anna, didn't you just get a new place in Magnolia? and a new job?
Cwisto, Claire, Michie, Mads, Nick, where are you looking for college?
Pat how's Harborview?
Aunt Theresa, where are all the cute pictures of Carter and Mary Meggie on Halloween?
Kevin and Eamonn, are you applying to law schools?
Dad, didn't you and Uncle Dan, Aunt Jac, and Mom go to ND?
Ailie and Fia, how was Homecoming (and the other HS cousins)?
Colleen, how was your honeymoon?
Colin, wassup with the Irish this year???!!!!

And THAT's just a start! Even if you aren't on this list, I am SURE you have something to say too!
As for me, Miguel and I are taking a two week trip to Seoul, Korea over New Years to see his parents. We are sooooooooo excited! Unfortunately, though, we are going to miss the Chambers annual post christmas bash. We'll be sure to blog about it after the new year!
Can't wait to see almost everybody at T-giving!
