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!

We have been so busy...

...and so I haven't posted in a couple weeks. We have the main floor pretty much done. :) Yay!! We still need to paint some moldings (but just around the pantry doors), and hang our paintings, but we are so close. Woohoo!! Its so much nicer down there now. Here are some pictures. We are loving it....










We haven't worked on the house at all for the past week and a half because we have both been so busy getting things ready for school. I decorated my school room, which took forever. I have had tons of meetings and then of course I had to find time to plan what I was going to teach my 1st week with my second grade class. It was crazy busy.
Dave had orientation and his white coat ceremony last week. That was fun his family came out for a couple days to attend. It was fun to see them.
This week he started classes. He was been studying and working hard. He has anatomy, molecular and cell biology, embryology and ethics. He also has anatomy lab 3 times a week. This week he and his lab group, there are 5 in his group, started cutting up there 1st cadaver. He really stinks when he gets home, so gross, so I can’t imagine how smelly it is in the lab. Sick... I could never do that! He is handling it well though. He doesn’t enjoy the smell but it hasn’t made him sick. I guess some of the other students have had to step out of the room because the smell was getting to them. Just thinking about it makes me sick!!
I am glad I am the teacher and he’s going to be the doctor. It works out perfectly. :)
Well I hope that everyone at home is doing great! We miss you guys!!
