Hey Fam! Well, you're getting two posts on the same day because it took me so long to get the April post working.  But, that's okay because this one will be incredibly short.  Basically, May was one of the busiest months we've had since moving here.  Wes was on his 5th block of Medicine (out of 5.5) so he was pretty much working, eating, and sleeping for most of the month.  I was in the peak of my IEP season and stayed late at work most evenings.  Because Wes worked every weekend (except one) we didn't really make too many plans on the weekends and I spent most of my weekends working as well.   So, I honestly don't have much else to write about....boring, I know! I am now on summer break and Wes starts his last .5 Medicine block tomorrow.  SO, in two weeks Wes will have officially completed his first year of residency, WAHOO!! BUT, I will reflect on that in the next blog...I can't get ahead of myself here!

The only fun thing that we did in the month of May was attend a "wine tasting/class" at our friend Payton's Foust house.  Payton used to work for a bunch of classy restaurants in Charleston and he had to attend weekly wine tastings as a part of his job.  He therefore knows a ton about wine and so he held a little class to teach all of us some new info about wine.  It was a really fun evening as lots of the resident's and their wives came.  Here are some pics:

Payton & Clory.  Payton had 8 wines that he'd picked out for our tasting.

Dave & Tammy Johnston (on left) and Payton.  Payton is explaining how to use a corkscrew that doesn't have "wings" on it.  Dave is trying his luck with it.  Haha, as you can see, we were all pretty much amateurs.

Ok, well, sorry that was so boring.  More to come in the June blog!
