A Very Mendy 2015 

Happy Holidays everyone!  This year was very busy for the Mendy family.  Here's a brief update of what we've been up to:

I graduated with my doctorate in physical therapy in June, took/passed my boards in July, and started working in August as a full time physical therapist with ATI Physical Therapy in Madison Heights, MI (finally a pay check!).  I work primarily with general orthopedic patients (joint replacements, fractures, generalized musculoskeletal pain, etc.).   I really love what I do and I look forward to growing in my career.

Scott had a nice work transition as well when he took a job working in advertising with Fiat Chrysler in Auburn Hills, MI which started in May.  He handles most of the RAM trunk commercials, news segments, and sponsorships you see on TV and he's really proud of the work he's done so far.  P.S. if anyone is interested in buying/leasing a new Chrysler vehicle let us know!  Scott can get you a really good discount!

Other than work stuff, we moved to Michigan!  We're renting a house in Royal Oak and learning how to be suburbanites again.  So far we really like it here and we've made a few new friends in the neighborhood who have made the move from Chicago a lot easier for us to handle.  Plus, we still have some good friends from college who live around here and we've enjoyed being able to spend more time with them.  It's definitely different from Chicago and we miss the city dearly but all in all things have gone really well so far.

We also managed to fit in a few trips this year to visit with friends/family and also just to see some new sights.  It was great to see the Hoene family, Currey family, and my parents for a long weekend this summer in Monona, WI.  Aubrey is getting so big!  Becky already posted pictures from that visit so I'll leave it at that.  

Scott and I also took a trip to Asheville, NC as a celebration for graduating/passing boards prior to starting work.  Asheville is amazingly beautiful and has a really great restaurant/bar scene.  If you haven't been and you love hiking/rafting/general outdoorsy beauty you have to go!

I guess that's all the updates I have for now.  I hope everyone had a wonderfully relaxing and blessed holiday season.  All the best to you and yours in 2016.
