match day, new moon, duck pond, and a card

I am playing catch up, so just to fore warn you, there is A LOT of pictures. I will keep the writing to a minimal though. On March 18th, Thursday, it was Match Day. This is the day where all the Medical students across the nation find out where they are going, or where they "matched" for residency. So we all met at the Hershey Country Club and waited to open a single little white envelope. Although since we are doing an Air Force residency, of course we all ready know where we are going, but we went to join the rest of the class and to see where they were all headed off to.

Waiting patiently Everyone before receiving their letters... Hey look, Jon got a letter too! Hope it says Omaha.

3, 2, 1... open your letters!

Yep, still going to Omaha...whew! I kind of liked all ready knowing where we were going and so I was able to get some good shots of every ones first reaction. Over all I think every one seemed to be pretty happy about the results. (And I think Amber was a little surprised) The Bradford's and Flint's are staying here in Hershey, the Wright's are going to New Mexico, the Brueseke's are going to California, Ashley is going to Washington, the Duncan's to Texas, the Heslop's to Utah, and the Thompson's to Ohio. We then all went out to eat later that evening to celebrate. It was so awesome to all be together and I am definitely going to miss these guys.

If you didn't know, New Moon came out on the 20th! But it has been advertised that you could get it at 12:01am on the 20th. So Jon kept telling me that I needed to go and get it that night. It was an on going joke and came up frequently. BUT, I happened to be up working on this little gem, (which will be revealed on Easter) and by the time I got ready for bed, it was 11:30pm. So I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if I went and got the movie tonight and Jon woke up to the movie next to his bed." So I headed off to Wal-Mart thinking I would run in and just grab the movie and be out in like 5 mins. That was not the case. There was a huge line that wounded through the shoe department. So I didn't get back home until almost 1am. But I did surprise Jon with thisAnd Jon is definitely the best husband ever, because he woke up at 6am with the intentions of going and getting me the movie, until he saw it on his night stand. :) And then we both fell back asleep.

We have been having the best weather this past week and so on Saturday we took a jog out to the duck pond and had a little picnic.

I love Jaedon and Livy's expressions in these pictures. Jaedon is ecstatic that they crossed the river and all Livy can think about is that her feet and legs are going to freeze off! Yeah, it's cold

Jaedon slipped...and about lost his shoe

and slipped again, which resulted in wearing just his underwear home

Jaedon continues to amaze us at how well he can pick up and learn things. He came out and told me he was going to write a card to Grandma. And this is what came of it. "This card is from Jaedon and love to grandma grandpa (picture of grandma and grandpa) heart Bassett I love you the best"
