When it rains- it pours.....

Well you gotta take the good with the bad, that's what i keep telling myself. The wonderful old woman who has occupied my condo in FL has been, well, wonderful for the past 2 years, and its been pretty much incident free, until recently. She fell and has been going through physical therapy for the last 2 months. Which is horrible first, because she is a sweet woman, and it breaks my heart to think of her getting hurt, second, while she was in the hospital they found other health concerns.  I really hope for a speedy recovery for her. 
on top of that, my water heater has gone out, which i suppose i can not complain, it was 14 years old, and as most of you know, 14 years for a FL water heater isn't too bad. So i did my business will a local company "duke's plumbing" I'd much rather have business with the little guys. so they came and replaced it, and I've had to have it serviced 3 times in the last week because it wasn't working right. they replace it AGAIN and tonight, i receive a phone call from the tenants son-in-law, the new heater is leaking water as well. i really hope this gets resolved soon, the poor woman has nurses in and out of the house, and now, repair men. it is really a lot for her, and i would REALLY be upset if i lost her due to a water heater issue.    
wooooooo sssaaaaaaahhhhh.  woooooooo  saaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.

WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!


Today i recived a phone call from Johns Hopkins and my start date is January 5th!! YAY!! We had such a great thanksgiving. Kansas was a lot of fun, and  i really enjoyed meeting all of dan's family. i also got to meet some of his friends, and see his home town of Hutchinson. we headed up to Kansas City to meet his sister Sara and her family, and they made me feel a part of their family. it was really great.
Here are Will, Maggie and Ainsley
And here is Dan with his friends Jeremy and Jordan.
Then for the actual Thanksgiving, we went up to Baltimore to Stan and Carries house. it was wonderful! and i made pie! (of course).
