Well... it sure has been a while!  Here's what the snoops have been up to, which is mainly an update on Mr. Snoop's experience with surgery.

- Mr. Snoop is busy vying for Husband of the Year award.  Last weekend he...

A) Chaperoned a middle school lock-in at St. John the Divine with me.  That's 100 middle schoolers for 19 hours.  We may or may not have recovered from 19 hours of middle school boy smell by now.  If you haven't been to St. John the Divine in the city, you should.  It is ENORMOUS.  We're talking the length of 2 football fields end to end.  Being from Texas, I measure everything in football fields.  Also, the Statue of Liberty would fit in there.  If you work with youth, Nightwatch at St. John's really is the bomb.com, even if you are exhausted and stinky afterwards.  Here's what the cathedral looks like:

Side note: chaperoning middle school lock-ins is totally worth putting on a med school resume, right?  Especially when one of said middle schoolers is convinced s/he's dying of a stomach ache some rare disease and Mr. Snoop talks them off the ledge, medically speaking?

B) Mr. Snoop cemented his spot as Husband of the Year when he and a friend took over the high school youth group for me on Sunday, since I had to set up for/attend the middle school play. 

- I think I need a break from adolescents.  Love them, but really.

- I am loving the fact that the surgery rotation requires the use of scrubs 24/7.  The Vacation From Ironing rocks.

- Vacation From Ironing ends in a week and a half.  Mr. Snoop is in trauma surgery now and does family medecine next.

- Have I told you that Mr. Snoop has found a specialty within surgery that he really likes?  It involves this:

- On to figuring out away rotations. 

- As a goodbye gift from surgery, Mr. Snoop has 24 hour call in the hospital this Saturday.  I'm trying to figure out how many ridiculously girly things I can fit into a day since he won't be around.

Happy weekend, everyone!
