  Happy Memorial Day.  Brad will be home on Saturday and I am counting down the days. Being apart for one month is hard. However, absence make the heart grow fonder.  I spent Sunday with Brad's family. We had the missionaries over (as you can see in the first picture).  I am posing with my sister in law.  Yep!  Brad's youngest sister is eight years old.  She's probably the best eight-year-old,

Brad is just ending his first external rotation for dental school.  Which means he has only four rotations left.  Which means we are on the homestretch! It's so hard to believe that we are in the final and fourth year.  People told us it would go by fast and, honestly, it really has. Brad is currently in Waco, Texas staying at an extended stay hotel.  He has become quite a connoisseur of

Brad and I are attempting to be adventurous.  Apparently, our type of adventure means hitting up a local swampmeet whose advertising market seems to be winter visitors who happen to like applique shirts. Last Saturday (03/26) we decided to go the Mesa Swapmeet.  Brad's goal was to be able to get some dental tools.  Who would have thought people sell dental tools at a swapmeet?  I wonder what

Yes, December came and was a whirlwind of a month.  Time really just flew by with family parties, work commitments and last-minute shopping.  So many things took place, I just didn't have my camera ready as often as I would have liked. The above picture is from Christmas Eve with my family.  Brad and I were attempting to listen to the yearly, Christmas Eve tradition of Why Christmas Trees Aren't

I can't believe I totally forgot about this activity we did in October around Halloween.  I believe since Halloween was on a Sunday that we participated in this activity the night before. We were invited to witness a cardboard maze.  The Young Women's President of my church invited us to attend.  Apparently, her brother has been doing mazes like this for about ten years.  Needless to say, Brad

We were able to participate in a cancer walk in October titled, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.  A friend in Brad's dental rallied a group together and we decided to join in the fun.  We enjoy being able to give back to help Cancer Research, we were able to hang out with some awesome people and we enjoyed a little exercise.  This group was kind of funny since the front of their shirts said,

Brad and I are pretty lucky that our birthdays are only one month apart (four years apart in age).  Then again, we have to wait a whole 10 months before we get to celebrate anyone's birth.  Ah well, it is what it is. First, one of my awesome friends at work gave me the BEST. PRESENT. EVER.  I love me some Coke-juice.  I haven't been drinking it too often since it exacerbates my heart murmur.

Brad is an extremely difficult person to shop for presents.  He just doesn't think he needs anything.  He was however keen on telling me that I should probably complete a Levi blanket/quilt I started years ago.  Two months leading up to his big day he would remind me weekly.  I wanted it to be a surprise that I got it done so I would try to change the subject when he would talk about it or just

In all honesty, we are usually the type that likes to stay in and watch a good movie.  Occasionally, our outings will consist of going over to my sister's house and play some games.  We are awesome at games.  And very competitive. However, we decided to brave the opening day of the Arizona State Fair and did our best to get there before 7:00pm.  Prior to that time the admissions fee was only a

Our date nights get pretty unoriginal.  However, occasionally we will go watch a movie at the theater. Brad and I decided that one night we would go to Picture Show in Mesa to watch the movie, SALT. First, we had to quench our thirst with some amazing Orange Julius. It's September and nearly 100 degrees outside! We enjoyed the movie but we found it difficult to believe that someone as small
