Med School Prom
Formally known as the Aesculapian Ball, to med students it's just 20th grade prom, and a fun excuse to get together with friends and dance.
What was originally intended to be a low-key pre-prom get-together with friends at our house magically transformed into a piano karaoke party thanks to online sheet music and the musical stylings of one Megan B.
I took plenty of video, but unfortunately the voices we thought were musically genius at the time are actually pretty rough sounding on video, so those will remain private :) Cap off the evening with an 80s-cover band and it made for a night to remember!
Easter
The next morning we headed to Montgomery to celebrate Easter with family. It was a quick but wonderful trip home. I took a couple of pictures on my phone, but otherwise left my camera in its case.
Lele took this one and more from the weekend can be found here.
Cincinnati
A couple of days later we packed up and headed to our new home city. We flew out the evening that the storms hit, and it was hands down the most turbulent and uncomfortable flight either of us have ever experienced. Again, only phone photos from this trip, but here's a brief recap.
Our new skyline. Search for Mexican. Walker's new office building. Graeter's (x2, and maybe I wanted a 3rd visit), YUM.
Sunset on the river. Famous ribs (thanks Griesheimer's!). Our first Reds game, where conveniently, the song of the game made us think of home (it's much more fun and less annoying to hear it when you are several states away).
It was a wonderful trip (and Walker's first visit) and left us feeling excited and reassured about our decision. Leaving Birmingham will be bittersweet, but we are ready for our upcoming adventure! And yes, we found a place to live!
Storms
It was difficult to take in the images we were seeing on television of our home state. We are so grateful that our friends and family were all safe and suffered minimal damage, but it was heart-breaking to hear of all those who were much less fortunate. Below are some photos I took on my phone of Pratt City, an area just northwest of Birmingham that was hit especially hard. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the storm victims and their long road of recovery ahead.
Next up, our trip to the FL panhandle for the 2nd Annual Southern Gentleman's Beach Weekend, and this weekend (drumroll please) GRADUATION!
