On Thursday, June 2, I joined Sarah for Central Market's 10th Anniversary Celebration. The tented gala was a food lover's delight with ten of Houston's best chefs sharing a signature dish sampler. Big names and highlights included Randy Evans of Haven, Philippe Schmit of Philippe Restaurant, John Sheely of Mockingbird Bistro, Hugo Ortega of Hugo’s, and Claire Smith of Canopy and Shade.
After the gala, we went to the Dessert Gallery to help Javier's boyfriend Gus celebrate his 25th birthday. We snacked on decadent cakes and heard about how our dear friend Max (below in pink) will be leaving us for an extended stay in Mexico. Gus and I also exchanged study tips for our upcoming USMLE board exams.
On Friday morning I caught an early morning flight to Boston for the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) annual conference. What a blast! We watched residents show their skills in the case simulation battle SimWars. Former Rice EMS friend and Baylor classmate Cameron Decker won a prestigious award for his work with area EMS, police, and even a swat team. Yes, there was a little of this, too:
The Medical Student Symposium filled up Saturday with all sorts of helpful tips and pointers as I prepare to apply to Emergency Medicine residency programs in September. The residency fair boasted over 70 programs from around the country! After all the business, we enjoyed a night out in the Boston Commons. Our mighty group of medical students were only outdone by our faculty advisers. :)
When I returned to Houston on Sunday, I drove straight to the wedding of my neighbors Missy and Tony. Though I missed the short ceremony, I was able to enjoy the festivities at the reception. We were well fed with fresh fruit, mimosas, and a lunch buffet featuring waffles, fried chicken, roast beef, and mashed potatoes in martini glasses! Instead of cutting cake, they shared delicious cupcakes from Crave. I felt very lucky to be included in the big day.

You're such a jet-setter, Becky! I can't believe all you are able to cram into your busy schedule. What a hoot!
Glad you had an inspiring, informational trip to Boston. Hard to believe you'll be interviewing for residencies in the coming months. I remember when your Dad was making the rounds with interviews - always a thrill when I remember anything these days.
The wedding photo you took - very artsy -now if I can only remember how you taught me to do that color treatment...
