August 14th 2007
Welcome to our blog! Dave and I were married August 14th 2007 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. I can't speak for Dave, but I love being married! ~I am pretty sure he does too. :) It is so great to have someone to share my life with. We have so much fun together. We love traveling and spending time with our family and friends. Here is a little bit more about us...
Dave served a 2 year religious mission in the Dominican Republic. He then graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in business finance while also completing his pre-medical requirements. He attended Creighton University school of medicine. He started in the fall of 2009. He is now a resident in dermatology and internal medicine at University of Wisconsin hospitals.
I graduated from the University of Utah in Elementary Education. I taught 2nd grade at Bancroft Elementary. Bancroft is a great school and I loved working with everyone there. When Cole was born I decided to stay at home with him. I am loving every minute of my time with him.
We have made so many great friends in Omaha and in Madison. But we still love and miss our family and friends in Utah! We hope this blog will help them feel connected to us, even if we aren't around as much as we'd like to be. Enjoy!

It's Friday!!!

Yay! The work week is almost over. The weekend is ahead of me. I love that feeling. :)

Dave had his second quiz today and it sounds like he did really well. I guess it was a pretty hard one. So there is another reason for cheer! YAY!!

Last weekend Chelsie and I got some materials to make wreathes for our walls and doors. This weekend I think we may have time to make them so that will be fun.

Dave has made a couple good friends from his class. We are getting together with them on Saturday. Casey and Teissa invited Dan and Chelsie and Dave and I to a BBQ at their house.

They are really nice. I am so excited for that on Saturday.

The boys have their first test on Monday so they will study while we make dinner and probably while we hang out afterward... Oh the long hours of study. I do not envy that at all. I am so proud of Dave for doing it.

Omaha

Dave and I are having so much fun here in Omaha. I love teaching my 16 wonderful 2nd graders. They are such funny, great kids! I love spending the day with them. :)
Dave is so busy with classes, labs and studying. It is nice that I have been super busy as well. He had his 1st quiz last week. And he did really well! So we are very happy about that! Great job Dave! He has been working really hard. I am very proud of him.
He has another quiz on Friday and his 1st test on Monday. So cross your fingers that he does well. :) I am sure that he will.

Last week we wnt to the Botanical Gardens right by our house. We actually get in free because our townhouse complex sold them some land a couple years ago. So we can go whenever we want. It is beautiful!

We really like our neighbors here and our ward is awesome. The Bishop is such a great guy and the ward members are very friendly.

We have made some fun friends too. One of the other 1st year med students in Dave’s class lives in our complex. He and his wife are not in our ward but we have become friends with them. Their names are Dan and Chelsie. They don’t have any kids; almost everyone around here does, so we have hung out with them quite a bit. Last night we all made dinner and played games. It was really fun. :) Last weekend we all went to a little Diner that we really like. Its called Petrow's. Here is a SWEET pic of one of the cars in the parking lot.....

????????????? :)

We have also hung out with Scott and Teddy Elder. They are such a fun couple. We love that we live right across the street from them. Dave and I have been friends with them for years. He is in Dental school and Teddy is a 2nd grade para-educator. Maybe next year she will work in my school!

There are Sunday evening BBQ’s here a lot and girls getting together to work out in the complex so that’s been fun too.

On Saturday we went to the Farmers Market downtown. That was fun, we took a lot of pictures. It was a fun holiday weekend.

We also took some pictures out at the old train station. Its just a few minutes from our house. It is pretty sweet over there. The station has huge but now it is really run down. There is another train station across the tracks that has been kept up and it is a really pretty old building. They run a museum inside it now.
