I'm so sorry I've been so absent lately! I am my internal medicine rotation right now and I love it!! It's so much fun and I am learning so much! I was on call Tuesday night so I worked Tuesday morning 7 am until Wednesday at 9 am! It was tiring but a lot of fun too. I got to see a bunch of patients in the emergency department by myself and then write all the orders and diagnosis to admit them to the floor. 
Then today I got to follow up on a few of the patients so it was fun to recognize them and get an update on how they were doing. The on-call students give morning report so Wednesday at 7 am after being up for 24 hours I presented a patient that I had seen during the night to the medical students, residents, and a few attendings in the doctor's dining room. 
The first time I was completely nervous and shakey but it has gotten easier each time. I'm usually delirious by that point of no sleep anyway so I just want to get it over so I can go home and sleep ;).
This next picture is from the church picnic a few weeks ago. It was so much fun!! I made my first tie-dye shirt! I am excited to see how it turned out.
Last weekend we went to Paw Paw, West Virginia camping with about 30 wonderful people. We had a great time!! Here's a funny preview picture for Jeremy's tractor adventures.
Lucy had an absolute blast running around, playing with the 10 other dogs (all guys!), and rolling around in the dirt! 
It has been raining pretty much non-stop since Sunday night. A ton of streets are closed as the Susquehanna river is rapidly filling and flooding the surrounding areas. So far we have been okay but a little sunshine would be appreciated around here!
Have a happy Friday and a marvelous weekend!!!

Seems it doesn't matter whether you are near or far--I love hearing about and seeing pictures of your adventures! Happy Friday to you Lauren!! Love you!
Yaaay!! The hiatus is over! I missed you! :) I am so glad you are liking internal medicine; although I have to admit it makes my stomach upset just thinking about all those people you are having to see with nasty wounds and such coming through there. Gross! But good for you! I can't wait to see you very soon! I like the pictures, but for the record you have done a ZILLION tie died shirts! Don't you remember us doing them at camps? And we did them just you and I LOTS at the Glenridge house in our bathtub! Your memory is going sister! And that is coming from the forgetful sister! :)
