Our New Life in Cola

Well, it's been a while since I've blogged... oops.  Still trying to improve my consistency.  We have been VERY busy, and I haven't had the time self-control to sit down and keep this thing updated! Since last post we have:

  • finished school
  • celebrated a family wedding
  • took & passed our last part of boards and our last test ever!!!
  • moved from Mt. Pleasant to Columbia
  • celebrated B's grandmother's 80th birthday
  • begun to work on & improve our home to fit us
  • graduated from dental school!!!

Here is a little explanation and photo tour of some of the above happenings.  Full photo tour of our house before we moved in will come tomorrow.

A Small Family Wedding

Bryan's uncle got married at the house where he grew up and where Bryan's parents currently live.  It was a small family affair that was sweet and beautiful.





We Moved to Columbia

We LOVE our new house!  It is a perfect fit for us.  Full house tour tomorrow.



80th Birthday

Bryan's grandmother, Peg, turned 80 this month.  We had a elegant drop-in for her birthday.  Bryan's mother entertains so effortlessly, whether its a drop-in of 50 people over 60 or our graduation party 6 days later.  I didn't have my camera at the party, but I assure you it was quite the soiree.


Home Improvements

Again, I'll share pictures of this over the next few days... and then for the next few years :-)  But the short list so far includes: painting (several rooms and built in book shelves), lots of pruning and weeding, expanding our driveway, "borrowing" lots of furniture from family to fill our home, restoring the original transoms above the windows, updating outlets and light switches... I could go on.  We have LOVED being homeowners!


Graduation

Last Friday Bryan and I became doctors!  We had several days of celebration and festivities with both our families.  It was a wonderful weekend.  Praise the Lord for His blessings and for this time of life to celebrate and rejoice in His sustaining grace that has carried us through!
