winter formal

First thing is first.....the shoes!
A couple shots of my hair. Yes, I got it done. :)
Self shot in front of one of the many waterfalls. It was held at a casino resort.
I didn't get a full pic of my dress, but it was very "flowy" I loved it!
That is all for now. My two year old is coming at me with a stethescope!

The lonliness begins...

I'm sorry I dont have much to comment on the winter formal thing,however from the pics you posted you ladies look smokin'!!
We are just starting out on this whole med-school experience, since Sonny's acceptance was so recent (He starts in July). He has to go to a sort of orientation ("Emory Revisited") that is spread over three days and its full of tours, seminars, meetings, etc. I wanted to go, so I could find out more about the next four years.
He called me today to tell me that the girl in the admissions office said I "would probably be bored" and that it would be better if I didnt go. Maybe this is silly, but it seems like the separation and lonliness has already begun. Im already excluded from the cool kid's table and I havent even gotten to school yet. What makes it worse, is he has to stay overnight for two nights during this whole ordeal. Like I said in a post, I spent three months without him recently, and I dont like the idea of sleeping alone again. I know some of you are reading this and going "Dude, she needs to buck up!". And part of me is kicking myself as I share this, but I didnt think the lonely nights would start so soon.

I opted going for a jeweled-tone dress, cocktail length. I wanted to be slightly more casual than wearing a long dress. Though, there were quite a few girls there who did wear their prom dresses. I guess I would advise you to keep it a bit more casual than that if have that option.


I was one of the girls who started this blog but I guess I never really introduced myself. Hey girls (and guys)! I'm Bethany and this is the love of my life Josh. Josh and I were married summer of '07, moved to Erie, PA (we didn't know anyone here), and he started school at the end of the summer. There were a lot of changes and adjustments summer of '07, but the Lord is faithful and it was great to see Him working in our lives. Josh is in his second year at LECOM (Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine). So far med-school has been good, challenging but good. And we are expecting our first baby mid-July! Wa-hoo!

Hope you have fun at your formal this weekend. And I second Camille, post pictures!!!

My husband's med school has a semi-formal, so I'm not much help..

here's what I wore:

This year, I'm wearing this:



Just kidding...I don't think we're going because a. I'll be (Prayerfully) close to pushing a baby out and b. I don't think they're having it this year...

Good luck finding an outfit! Post us some pictures of y'all dressed up!

Formal....Help!!

I should have thought of this sooner! I have a winter formal on Saturday. I have a few options for dresses, but still have no idea what I am wearing. Do any of you have pictures that have been to one of your dress? I would love to get ideas. Thanks!

It's about time....

Ok, so I've known about this blog since November or so, and I'm finally getting around to posting for the first time.... :) I'm Jamie, and my hubby Josh is in waiting to start rotations. We're from Milwaukee, WI, and we got married July 06, which one month later he left for his first semester of med school on Grand Cayman. We were separated 3 months, and when I graduated college in December, I was able to move there with him (which was AWESOME!!!). We had our own little place there together and made some great friends, but because his last semester was in Miami (and he'd only be there 3 months), I moved back in with his parents in Milwaukee to find a job. So we were separated for another 3 months. He came home for the summer and thought it was best to try and transfer schools, and was accepted to another Caribbean school, Ross University. He had to go back to Miami for 3 more months to basically re-do the semester he last took, so we were separated for another 3 months....

It has been incredibly trying on both of us. He has run into so many issues that we'd never imagined would be problems, and it's definatly a struggle to stay positive and supportive for him. It's especially trying to live with his parents and try to maintain a normal marriage with him, since I want to be the one cooking for him every night, but his mom is usually the one cooking for all of us. His parents are great people, but I absolutely cannot wait to have our own place again.

Right now he's back home again, and we were both hoping he'd be able to find a 2-year program to complete his rotations so I'd be able to move with him. We are waiting to find out what his school can get him. As of now it looks like we may be separated again, and I don't think I can go through that again. Any ideas how to stay strong for him and not have a complete meltdown? I trust God knows what He's doing with our lives, but it sure is hard to get through it sometimes.
