Segway
Ok, lots of stuff, in a list, in reverse chronological order
1. Found out that NC passed his board exams!!!
2. Spent Thanksgiving in Columbia with NC and his parents too!
3. Went to Orlando
Now, elaboration, in chronological order
Orlando is nothing like I remember it - a lot has changed over the decade. It's pretty awesome though and we had a nice relaxing vacation on a resort. We got to hang out by the pool, we played tennis every day and we got to drink some very tropical drinks. Overall, it was exactly what we both needed to just get away from the cold for a while and enjoy ourselves. We also did Epcot center where we both got the chance to ride Segways! That was a really cool experience.
For Thanksgiving we were all in Columbia. It's funny because last Thanksgiving my dad said, "In the coming years, I'd like to keep adding people to this dinner table." He got his wish (though I think he might have been alluding to grandkids too, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here). So the six of us got some wedding stuff done, but more than that, just got to enjoy each others company. On a side note, I love how well our parents get along - when they are together they are always laughing and just having a blast.
We got word this week that NC passed his board exams! He took the written boards last year and passed but this time around was the oral boards where he had to sit in front of an examiner and talk through cases and what he would do in different situations. ugh. We practiced for that test for months, with me as the examiner and he as the candidate. So when NC called he said, "We passed!!" I liked being a part of that process; however, I'm not too distraught that there's 10 years before he has to take that exam again.
