Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Felize Navidad y Felize Ano
Buon Natale y Felici ano nuevo

And Lord knows if I spelled any of that correctly!

I hope the almost-new-year finds you all well and happy. I just returned from my family cruise to the Southern Carribean and Central and South America. An amazing trip, I recommend you all visit. I have posted many photos, b/c they are worth 1,000 words. We had fun, saw pretty things, and made tons of friends, including my twin, Katie, who lives in California and is just all around awesome, and a ton of crazy people from Mexico City, Georgia, Canada, and all the Italian and Eastern European staff.

I found out while I was out in Philly doing my COMLEX PE exam that I will for certain be doing my family practice residency in Omaha at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some of my DMU friends will be joining me in the area, but I am very happy about the outcome. I'm sad that my travel days are coming to an end, but it will be a nice change to have an actual dresser.

I wish you all a very merry christmas, a safe and happy new year, and many wonderful things in the near future.
