Trip to Philadelphia

Trip to Philadelphia

May 2010

Me & Ami

John's co-residents

Highlights of the Trip

1. Spending time with my best friend (John of course!)

2. Having a date night every night for 4 nights!

3. Going on long walks around the city and talking for hours!

4. Getting sleep! Lot's of it! (I almost caught up!)

5. Dinner with Dr. Reichman at Four Seasons (honestly, the best food I've ever had)

6. Dinner at Morimotos with the residents and faculty(the second best place I have ever eaten)

7. Getting to know John's fellow residents. They were hilarious, fun, and such great people. No wonder John loves to work with these guys so much.

8. Hanging out with Ami while the guys were in classes (We were the only wives that went). She is so fun!

9. Going to the Art Museum and watching people run up the Rocky Steps.

10. Eating at the most amazing restaurants and getting everything paid for.

11. Staying at the Marriot for free.

None of this would have been possible without John's amazing brother Nate, who drove all the way from Provo to watch our boys! (Yes, that is close to a 30 hour drive.) The boys loved every minute of it and he did an incredible job! He is going to make an amazing father one day!

FAVORITE QUOTES

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let out own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

-Marianne Williamson

We must become the change we want to see

-Ghandi

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

-Ghandi

The secret to having it all, is knowing that you already do.

Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life... What could you do better for your children and your children's children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?

-President Spencer W. Kimball

The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.

-Marjorie Pay Hinckley

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

-Sam Levenson

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The journey is the reward.
