My favorite things

I've loved the experience we had in medical school. I became much more attached to this place than I thought I would. Here are the things I'll miss the most. (Not in any particular order)

Weekly volleyball and frisbee 
  Last night of playing and James played like an Olympian. 


   A few of the regulars

My sister
   Could I be any more spoiled than to have my sister about two doors down from me?! Almost too good to be true. 
This is the only pic could find with just me and Ali. But I have plenty with the kids. 
  And my motto in parenting (and life) is to copy whatever Ali does...if I do that I know I'll end up where I want to be. 
BFFs
Thanks to Anson, Benson is an excellent swimmer (Benny followed him around the pool every summer trying desperately to keep up with him...practice makes perfect and now he's a pro), He is starting swim team here in Florida tomorrow. 
We can also thank Anson for Benson's ability to ride a bike. 




Needless to say it was a tearful goodbye. I was bawling my eyes out. It was a tender mercy that we've been able to live so close to each other for the past three years. I don't know how I got so lucky.  


My friends 
We've had the very best friends anyone could ever ask for. I love these girls and have SO many fun experiences with them. Thanks for the many hot tub nights, girls nights, date nights, game nights, play dates, entertaining my kids at the park/pool, listening to my problems, debating politics, feeling overwhelmed about our kids together, etc. LOVE these girls forever! 
At least 4 of us were pregnant when this was taken. And after a few months all of us were (or had just delivered the baby)
Needless to say, this was also a tearful goodbye!

The temple- only three miles away. Can't get much better than that!

Our beach entry pool (with sand!,and right outside my door!)
Also the hot tub!
Perfect for babies to play in; perfect for when the water is a little too cool





These last ones don't make the top 5, but I will miss them nonetheless. 
Foothills library 
WinCo- best place for cheap bulk food items!
Cafe Rio 
Maintenance People at San Lagos- one easy call away!
