Columbia, SC with the Savages (and Sam's bday!)

Sam has been busy this season with lots of interviews around the region for residency programs in Family Med! It is excited to see all the potential places we could possibly be going to next. I haven't been to any of his interviews so far but we have some great friends in Columbia, SC so for his interview at USC, we decided to make a weekend out of it and go for a visit! Jeff and Emily were our good friends out at BYU and with selling pest control and it's been way too many years since we've seen them! They let us come stay at their house for a couple nights and showed us the ropes of their fun city! Jeff is a professor at USC and they now have 4 kids. It was SO fun to catch up with them and let our kids play together! Their girls are about the same age as our kids so it was a win-win for all! On Sam's birthday, we drove down and they found a babysitter for us to go out for a double date at an amazing restaurant in town called Motor Supply. Fun birthday dinner with great company! Then the next day, Sam and I drove around the city and took a look at some of the neighborhoods just in case we ended up matching there! Wanted to see what housing was like. The kids were SO tired and both of them passed out. It was a nice little morning nap for them. Haha! We headed back and hung out at their house for the afternoon. They live on 9 acres of land, so it was fun watching the kids explore a little. We went out Sunday night with the residents (typically in interviews, they take them out for dinner the night before) and Jeff and Emily were SO nice to put our kids to bed for us. Then Sam's interview was the next day. Thank you SO MUCH to Jeff and Emily!! We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends! It was such a fun weekend and I know it won't be the last we see of each other, now that they are down in our region of the country. ;)
