Living in a van, down by the river


Have you ever watched the SNL sketch with Chris Farley where he is a motivational speaker who lives in a van down by the river? If you haven't, go google it. now. seriously. 

This year we felt a bit like our friend Matt Foley. With traveling so much around the country and having to be at hospitals in record time we spent many a nights sleeping in our car because we didn't have time to pull over to a real hotel and sleep for a full night. Plus, as students we have to  try to save some pennies as we go along our journey. Ever wonder why bums sleep in card board boxes? Because it's so much warmer! No joke. Our friends were moving and sent some boxes home with us from Texas in January. Boyd put them up in the windows to block the lights. Between the boxes and our hats, gloves, boots, jackets, and blankets we stayed warm the whole night. We have tried the same technique with sheets and pillowcases up in the widows. While not quite as effective as the boxes, they still had a fun tent feel to them. Like camping. . . . 
This is one of those moments I bet my parents are real proud of me (said with sarcasm) 








Ghettolicious!
