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.
Ben picked up my bowl yesterday... and they had just packed up your mug, so he didn't get to see it, but they said that it turned out really well. But, I will get around to taking a picture of mine eventually - it wasn't quite as cute as I expected, but the inside is AWESOME ;). <3 you!
