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 i
s 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!!!
Josh officially began Medical School classes today, beginning with the hardest course ever (or so the rumors say) ANATOMY!!! It's a seven week course and they jump right in by dissecting cadavers this week... ewe gross. Good thing Josh is so brilliant, he's going to do great. It's also a good thing he doesn't get grossed out by dead bodies. I would fail that class just as soon as the scent of formaldehyde hit my nostrils.
