My Twenty-Twelfth Birthday!

Celebrated my Twenty-Twelfth Birthday (per Ethan) in style this year -- unfrosted box mix chocolate cake and all! (Can you tell Annie wasn't around... sniff sniff... she was in Idaho for Shaun's wedding the next day)!

(Some of My) Coworkers

It's probably occurred to some of you to wonder who I'm spending all this time away from home with -- well, tonight we had a BBQ over at the Big Cheese's house and I seized the opportunity to introduce some of my coworkes (coresidents and faculty especially). This isn't even half of them, but that's better than none, right?



And, although this doesn't come out on the video, for interest's sake, I find it odd that 8 of the 17 oral surgery residents are from Canada (Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary x2, Montreal, Toronto x2) as is one of the five full-time faculty members!

Such a Good Lookin' House!

As of about three weeks ago, we are new homeowners! Sorry with how long it took to post anything about it -- residency has been busy...

It's a 1246 sq. ft. bungalow w/ unfinished basement. 3 beds, 2.5 baths. Hardwood floors throughout except in the master bedroom addition. Nice little front and back yard. We're really happy with it, and very grateful we were able to purchase it. Hurrah for us!

If you have the time, here's Wifey's video tour of the house (7:30) -- enjoy!

Such a Good Lookin' Girl

Most of you already know how hot my wife is, but for those of you random blog readers who happen to stumble upon my little Speck, I'd hate to leave you with only the paparazzi shot of her on the sidebar!

First, my personal favorite -- taken with the built-in Webcam on Wifey's MacBook using PhotoBooth (note that it's a mirror image -- an unfortunate quirk of PhotoBooth's):


Here's a more picturesque shot, taken at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in... yep, you guessed it, Jasper!


This the "come hither" look, taken in Londonderry Chapel in Edmonton:


And this is the "You jerk -- why are you making me carry her?" look, taken at the Calgary Zoo:


And last of all, Wifey's cute looks passed on to the next generation:
