I also share my birthday with a special girl named Andrea, so we planned a birthday weekend and I went to Maryland to see Andrea and Ben. We did fun birthday things, such as painting ceramics, I painted a pretty cool latte mug.
I got to sight-see the city of D.C., the weather was great, and on Saturday we went to the national apple festival in Arentsville, Pennsylvania. It was a beautiful drive up there through the Pennsylvania countryside with the leaves changing colors and fall was everywhere in the air. We drove through a few miles of apple orchards and I could almost imagine Johnny Appleseed running through the orchards. The festival was great, and the apple-based food delicious. I did stray from apples and ate part of a pumpkin funnlecake (pumpkin is my other fall love). There was tractor square-dancing, and it was quite impressive.
Best meal of the trip: pumpkin crunch bagel with pumpkin cream cheese and a pumpkin latte. I am going to turn orange by the time fall is over, I'm sure.
I have completed my clinicals for my last semester of school. I just have two weeks of class and tests left and then begin a 5 week internship before graduation. I found out today that I received my first choice of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and am very excited!
Just for fun pictures:
He says, "what I do?"... totally innocent.
Strapping young man.
