The Last 5 Months in a Nutshell

Hallelujah! We have internet! And, to brag a little, I hooked it up all by myself without Josh's help. So, this is for all you patient people who have been waiting and waiting for us to finally update our blog... the last 5 months in a nutshell.

March: We moved in with my parents

April: I finished up pregnancy


May: I stopped being pregnant and had my baby and Josh graduated from Weber State in Microbiology and Chemistry
May 5th: Brinkley Mae McBride was born (she deserves her own line) and she is the most wonderful baby on the planet
June 8th: Brinkley was blessed


July 4th: We went camping - love it

May-July: We enjoyed 3 wonderful more months with my parents and they grew incredibly attached to Brinkley



August: We drove across the country and moved to Pittsburgh for Medical School




So, there it is.


Thus far, we really enjoy life as Pittsburghers. I was surprised and alarmed when we drove into the city because everything is ridiculously tight and close here, but you get used to driving around the skinny streets really quick. I at least know where the grocery store and Walmart are, so I'm set. You also get used to being honked for not getting out of an intersection fast enough. We have nice, nebby neighbors (definition of nebby: nosy Pittsburghers) and have made many friends already. Our house is great! I'll be sure to get some pictures of it up when everything is officially unpacked and in place.
Brinkley sure gets a lot of attention here, we get stopped all the time so people can look and tell us how cute she is. She is growing up. She can now roll over, and she giggled for the first time the other day.
We're very happy, but we miss our family!!!

Hey the first to post a comment, all right! Josh sent me a text today saying you were getting internet, so on my lunch break I thought I would check because we had not seen any pictures of Brinkley. She is beautiful!
Hannah and I are so glad you guys made the trip without any problems, and good luck!

Oh Hayley, how exciting! I'm glad you're already liking it out there. You'll have so many adventures. I think a part of me is jealous. Keep in touch, for sure, OK? Did you know Miranda is getting now?! Yep! The big day is October 16.
