Rank List is Locked IN

Yesterday was the last day to make changes or edit our list of where we want to go for residency.  We feel great about the list and we are really hoping to get one of our top 3.

Here are our catagories:  Not necessarily in this order. 

Great:
Utah....Albuquerque....Tucson

Good:
Iowa City....Omaha....Penn State...Rochester

Not as Good:
Buffalo, NY (last on the list, but if we went to Buffalo, I could feel good that at least we have a job and matched for an anesthesia residency!)

Wish us luck, we find out on March 18 (Match Day).  We are so excited to finally know where we will live the next four years of our lives.

YUCK!

Seriously...another snow storm????

We are LOVING the snow around here!

Top Ten reasons the Wrights love the snow

10. Snow Ice Cream.
9.  Snow Angels
8.  Hot chocolate
7.  Hot homemade soup for dinner - Thanks Amber!
6.  Going down the slide into the snow
5.  The feeling of being "Snowed In"
4. The exercise of shoveling snow
3.  Snowflakes in your eyelashes
2.Way awesome snow cave
1. Daddy stays home from school!

We have had tons of snow here in Hershey this last week.  Bennett, Elizabeth, Daddy and Mommy have all been out to play.  Daddy and Bennett dug out a snow cave and built a snow fort.  Elizabeth went wild crawling into the snow cave, she wouldn't come out!  What a blast.

Elizabeth is One! A little late, oops!

So my baby girl was one year old on December 26th 2009,  how the time flies!  She just had her one year check up and here are her stats:

Weight: 24lbs  80%
Height: 32 1/4 inches  >97%
Head Circ:  47.3 cm  92%

So she is coming down a little in her weight percentage and she is staying really tall for her age.  And yes, she still has a pretty big head!

We also had her pictures taken this week.  Here are a few of them.

You cant see the stool that she was sitting on in most of the pictures, but this girl is a NUT for stools and chairs.  She goes WILD when she gets to sit on one and has a fit if you take it away.  Since we started the shoot with a stool, we had to have a chair, stool, or little sofa for every picture or she threw herself down in a fit on the floor.  Stinker!

We love you Elizabeth Jean Wright!

What I so love

I just started my own blog....What I SO love....so check out what I love!  

http://www.whatisolove.blogspot.com

I find myself always falling "in love" with something that I get into.  So I thought I would share this with you too, although a lot of you already know!  Just a way to journal.

Finally figured out!

So in a quest to figure out how to do my own blog, I think I figured out this whole thing.  Meaning I can finally put up cute backgrounds on our blog!   Maybe I am officially a "blogger" or maybe I am jumping the gun...oops!  Well I do hope to post so much from our trip to Utah and Washington and Christmas SOON.

We made it to Washington....driving...

I'm not really the "blogger" I should be, but I do like to write what we are up to for my own records, because I am also not the "journaler" I should be! So here you have it.

The rest of our trip in Utah was lots of fun. Bennett got to take a trip with his Grandma and Grandpa to Colorado to see his cousin's Ty and Weston one weekend and they had lots of fun visiting Santa and getting pictures.

I got to spend time with my friends Emily and Shaun quite a few times and eat WAY too much Cafe Rio! I also got to spend time with Jenn and Jamie! I love seeing all of my friends! I wanna come home!

My friend Ryan Bragdon was in Provo for a OSU vs. UVU basketball game and Steven and I went to visit him while he was here from Ohio (he is the women's basketball coach for Ohio State). We also ate at Cafe Rio! Only Ry's second time ever.

Steve and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary with a stay at the Zermatt Resort in Midway, Ut and the following night on the 11th (our actual anniversary) we went to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas program featuring Natalie Cole. We had a great time doing both.

We celebrated Christmas at Steven's Uncle Stan's house making gingerbread houses and eating scones. We got to see Stan's family, The Smart's, and tons of us Wrights! His Aunt Terry always does a wonderful job making the night so nice for everyone. I will have to add pictures because we had so much fun!

We had our Family Christmas Party the night before we left on the 15th. We had Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner followed by present opening (youngest to oldest....made me realize how old I am!) and for dessert we had LuAnn's Cupcakes, my dear friend LuAnn provided them for us and they were fabulous! Visit her website if you can! www.luannscupcakes.com!

We were up really late packing and loaded the car down with all of our stuff and headed out by 6AM on Wednesday the 16th to visit Grandma Donna in Washington. The road trip was pretty fun. We really like driving and the kids are pretty good. We hit a few patches of icy roads but overall a great trip....HERE we ARE! We have only had time to visit with Grandma and PA Fiorelli and Grandma Donna so far!!! Oh and Uncle Rob too.
