Two BBQ's and a Day Off

Tim had training on Thursday and Friday. He was getting certified to do CPR for doctors (where they use meds and shocks and fancy stuff to revive people). He was then told that there was a scheduling error so he should enjoy his unexpected day off on Monday. The funny thing is that Monday is the official start day of his contract which means it's the first day he's getting paid for and he has it off. This is probably one of the few times that being on salary is going to be more beneficial than not. We are still trying to decide what to do tomorrow....swimming anyone?

Friday evening my family had a little welcome back to Phoenix BBQ and pool party. Being able to do this was on Tim's "pro list" for Phoenix so I am glad we got one in right off the bat. My family always does it up right with delicious burgers and dogs, cold watermelon, Tim's favorite baked beans, and of course a drumstick for dessert. We had lots of fun swimming with all the grandkids and I enjoyed getting my mother and sister-in-laws hair wet. If you're going to be in the pool having wet hair is definitely a potential risk. It was a successful evening and we are hoping to repeat again with family and maybe friends (if we actually make any, I'm still on strike!).

Delish!!! Thanks mom and dad! 

Saturday night we went to another BBQ. This time it was at an ER docs house. Every year this doc hosts a get together for all of the new residents at the hospital. I was a little resistant to going (I always feel so awkward going around and meeting a ton of new people), but I knew that I needed to go and meet Tim's co-workers.  Our first mistake was not wearing or even bringing bathing suits. Tim looked the house up on google earth and noticed that they didn't have a pool but their next door neighbors did. Little did we know, the doctor owned the house next store....of course she did. So, we both stood for a good two hours with sweat literally dripping down our backs. It was kind of disgusting and reminded me of life-guarding. Poor Oliver was kind of a mess though and he fell asleep in my arms which never happens anymore. The little guys is just not used to this heat. Every time I buckle him in his rear facing car-seat in the backseat of my car I think it's child abuse. Anyway, I got to meet a lot of Tim's co-workers and bosses and a lot of spouses. It was nice and I think I may have made a friend or two.... only time will tell.
