New shoes, old shoes.
I bought these shoes 3years ago and some how forgot about them.
So I was happily surprised when I found them hiding in my closet!

Homemade garlic, tomato, lox pizza

Fire in Naches
Smoke in Yakima

Portland Polish Festival, luckily occurred during my short break.
Good food, good beer and good friends

Sushi with Andy!

You find a 24year old Medical Student on the ground unresponsive what do you do:
a) Immediately start CPR
b) Call 911
c) Take a picture: because she is just sleeping after taking an exam, while waiting for her next class
d) Start a central line
e) Pour water on her

Answer: C

What happens when you have four medical students having an exam on the same day?
. . . . . . the leaning tower of dishes.

Study, Study, Study
Ok, so today I didn't do anything besides study.
Exam Friday, September 25th, then free weekend!

Just one of the glorious sunsets in Yakima.

Fall is here! I am so excited!

A normal occurrence in the Payne household. Jack sneaking into the bed after I have gotten up to study . . .but I normally can't catch it on film.

Looks a little guilty doesn't he?

Tonight was white coat ceremony for the 1st years and then afterward, Zach and Pasma had a concert at North town. The pictures are from their rocking concert! courtesy of Zach

Andy come to Yakima: John Cleese in a movie about wine, how perfect is that!

Tonight was an eventful evening, instead of a night filled with studying we spent (Ally and Jonathan) the night under the sink. But we think the problem is fixed. Cross our fingers!

Student Potluck
I made squash with butter and maple syrup
Beautiful weather: Sunny and 85F

Nothing like dinner on the patio made by your chef of a roomate.
Caprese Salad with Feta, Tomato, Cucumber Salad and of course a glass of wine!

Happy Birthday Ashley!

What a great evening to celebrate her birthday at Jackson's

Sunday means Farmer's Market in Yakima. Just a handful of what I bought/or obtained today (ok the strawberries are from costco, but they looked so pretty!)
The cucumber actually come from the school's garden. Thanks to Brian and Erika and many others we have a bountful load of produce.

One Day at a time . . . . .

One day at a time. . . . . .
to document the next 365days to show myself that I do something more than study and to record the beauty that is Yakima.
