Just got back to Chicago after a nice weekend back home in Wichita. I flew in Wednesday night and had dinner at my favorite bar in Ta town, the good ol' Anchor. Thursday was filled with lots of family time (Tim's side as mine is in California for the cold months!) and lots of yummy food! We had lunch with Jody's family and then dinner with Jack and Lisa (and Jill and Ginger of course). I was especially excited that my buddy Molly got to stop by for a glass of wine that night too! Friday I had lunch with a wonderful friend and former co-worker, Michelle, at the lovely Bella Luna (hooray for delicious falafel and hummus)! Saturday we spent the afternoon at Prairie Pines with Brian, Abby, Jody and the kiddos picking out a Christmas tree for Jody's house. That evening we had a wonderful dinner with the Velickovskis and topped the night off with KU basketball, brownies and Braum's peppermint ice cream at Jody's house. A lot of errands, walks with the dogs and good conversation in between with my hubby was also a nice little perk to a busy and fun long weekend.
It was definitely harder to come back to Chicago this time, I think because after being home for that long just made the homesick feelings come back a bit when it was time to return north. But the good news is I have two and a half weeks of school left and then I'll be back in Wichita for three weeks, minus a trip out to California for Christmas with my parents and Gretchen. The next few weeks of school are going to be tough with finals, but if I can stay focused and finish strong I'll get a nice little reward at the end...GOING HOME!!! Which is probably the next time you'll hear from me as far as blogging goes!

Happy birthday to me!!!
Did I really only make one blog post in October???... Oops.
And am I really finishing my TENTH week of school???
Was today REALLY my 27th birthday???
Definitely not enough hours in the day. Instead of blogging about something wonderful I've been learning in school recently, I've decided to blog about the wonderful last week I just had! Last weekend was awesome. Tim and my parents flew up to spend the weekend with me. And it was much needed after a week with 3 tests. Oh and then another test on the following Monday. Talk about being brain dead. However the weekend with my family was just what I needed. We watched movies, cooked at my apartment and just spent some much needed time together.
I'm happy to report I didn't have to spend any time in the cadaver lab today, a nice little birthday break indeed. Not that I hate the cadaver lab, but trust me, 7 hours a week in there and it does start to wear down on you a bit. I got a ton of birthday wishes from back home (which was super nice!) and even one of the docs I used to work for at the clinic called and played the Beatles Birthday Song for me via voicemail (which is what he does for everyone who works at the clinic on their birthdays, just over the speaker system at the clinic instead of voicemail!). My awesome new buddies up here took care of me too. I got a super nice and funny birthday card and one of my girlfriends took me out for a post-class glass of wine. Even though I had to finish the day with a few hours of studying, I'd say it's been a great day to turn 27.
And to top off the birthday week, my sis is coming to visit me this weekend!
