June was David's last month on the Trauma service. So, while he was busy working I took a long trip - well 2 trips combined - to Fort Worth, TX and Destin, FL. My job sent me to Fort Worth for a conference where I presented a paper I had written and submitted for publication (we're still in the editing back and forth process but it looks like it will be published in a journal soon). Fort Worth was great. I learned a lot and even presented without faltering like I feared I would. I even got to see one of my best friends from high school, Katie, who lives in Dallas and I was able to meet her lovely newborn daughter Avery.

For some reason my pictures with sweet baby Avery turned out very blury - but here is one of the beautiful girl if you can make it out.
From Fort Worth I flew to Destin to meet up with my family for a vacation on the beach. We spent 4 great days together soaking up the sun. Perfect timing too because I was with them for Father's Day and my niece's birthday.

For Maggie's birthday we all went to the Big Kahuna Water Park
My mom, Maggie, and I in the lazy river
That night we had dinner and a party at Fudpuckers

3 of my aunts, 2 uncles, 4 cousins, and several friends attended.
Maggie was a little scared of the gator
I can't believe she is 6!
