Wonderful Weekend

William and I had a wonderful weekend together. Thursday night we went out to eat at a Japanese restaraunt here in Winston that is comparable to Kanki. It's called Arigato and they cook in front of you at the table. Annoying side note: Like I said, it's called Arigato so everytime we think about going there or even pass it on our way to somewhere else William always sings the Mr. Roboto song as loud as he can. Anyway, after that we went to see the Hangover 2 which we both thought was just as funny as the first!

Friday I was off of work so we woke up early and went to our favorite walking spot: Salem Lake! To our surprise, they are rebuilding the dam so the lake was being drained but it was still a beautiful walk! There's a 7 mile trail that we take around the lake and since it was early in the morning the weather was cool and sunny and perfect. Here are some pictures along the way (I took quite a few pictures but I'm still getting used to my iphone and tons of the pictures ended up being videos, LOL) :

We were hot when we got back so we ran and jumped in the pool and then we went to Blockbuster and got plenty of movies for the rest of the weekend. We have finally found a church here that we both like a lot so we went Sunday morning and the service was AMAZING. We want to try out the small group but we have to wait till next week when I can get off a little early. We have had the best weekend together and I am so thankful for the peacefulness.

Today William starts his summer reserarch with the pathology department at the hospital and he is so excited. He feels like he is really going to learn a lot and he gets paid at the same time!

We hope everyone has a great week!

Memorial Day Weekend

Man, time flies when you're having fun! Work weeks drag on and then when you get a little break you turn around and it's gone! I was off friday through monday so thursday night we went to Oxford to spend some time with William's family for his sister's high school graduation. Here's a pictue of Victoria walking across the stage:

and the family afterwards:

We spent thursday night through saturday morning in Oxford and then we came back to Winston Salem to go to a baby shower for a friend of William's from his med school class. The shower was SO nice and it was so great to meet some of his classmates. We played l0ts of fun games and I laughed so hard at pregnant twister. It was definitely a shower for men and women which was really cool and with pregnant twister all the guys had to stuff pillows under their shirts and play normal twister. Hilarious. Here's a great picture of William with his pregnant belly:

And an action shot of the boys falling down:

Saturday afternoon my parents came down and we had a great time. We spent lots of time outdoors and laying by the pool because it definitely feels like summer outside! They stayed until Tuesday morning and when I returned to work they went back home. We had a great weekend and we're just sorry it had to end!
