One thing I love about Yale...

FREE TRANSPORTATION!! So before we moved out here we were looking to find the cheapest apartment, and we finally settled that we'd rather live in the graduate apartments and have other students all around us. Thank Heavens!! I can go to work, either walking or riding the bus. Kyle has never had to drive to school because a bus is in front of our house every 20 minutes!! And after hours, they have a night bus that you can call and they will take you places. Our car is just sitting in the parking lot except when we need to go to walmart every 2 weeks. I love it!

And just a side note for those of you wondering, yes my new job is going great. It is different but they are keeping me busy and I'm loving learning all of it!!

Hip Answers!

Alright well after months of waiting the answers are finally here! Some good some bad. So all of this is a result of a dislocated hip when I was 10 years old. So in the MRI the doctor said that I had some tearing of the lining of the cartilege on the ball of my hip. So they called it a torn labrum. Good news, the femur hasn't "died" so I don't need a full hip replacement. Bad news is that there is really nothing I can do about it, because this condition is fairly new that they don't really have a surgery to reattach the cartilege for the hip. So I'm kind of in a rut just waiting for a new surgery. Just thought I would let all you guys know the results!!! Thanks for all of your support!

Brawl on the ICE!

So Makayla and I have discovered how much fun watching hockey can be! Last week we went to the Yale vs. Princeton game with our friends Matt, Nicole and Chloe. We had a blast and Yale ended up winning! We had a blast. It was fun watching Chloe having a good time. The great part was that we sat on the front row on the level of the ice just behind the goal! We had a good time banging on the glass and watching the players get checked into the wall right in front of us.

When we couldn't get into the sold out Yale vs. Harvard game last night, we walked down to the rink tonight to watch the Yale vs. Dartmouth game. Boy o' boy was it a thriller! We even sat in the same place! Yale was down 0-1 at the end of the first period. Then they scored two goals in the second and held off Dartmouth until the last 30 seconds of the third period. Dartmouth had been pretty feisty all night but Yale wouldn't take any of it. With 3o seconds left Dartmouth pulled their goalie so they could have 6 offensive players to try to tie it up. But in a frenzy, a Yale player broke free on the open net of Dartmouth and scored making it 3-1 with about 24 seconds left, then the ice went NUTS! Their were helmets, gloves, sticks and referees flying everywhere! One Dartmouth player got ejected then, then after the game at the "good game" line-up, a few more punches were thrown and another Dartmouth player got escorted from the ice by the refs! It was a great game and it happened all within feet of us, but luckily behind a wall and some thick glass. (Which almost fell over after the final goal because of all the excited fans banging on the glass!) Anyway, we had a great day! We love living so close to so many things. We just walked down the road to the game!
