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!

Update….



This last weekend Dave and I were invited to go to South Dakota to stay with Teissa’s family. We were there Friday evening and we got back Sunday night. We had such a great time! Teissa and Casey’s family are so sweet for inviting us into their home. :) Teissa and her sisters walk a lot, speed walk that it. This is not for babies mind you! They are hard core and I am sore! And I am a rhyming, lol.



Saturday we went to dinner at Johnny Carino’s, (delicious!) and went hot tubbing. Friday and Saturday morning it was pretty chilly. But Saturday afternoon and Sunday the weather was so nice. On Saturday we went out to their families’ property and rode 4 wheelers and had a fire. That night we took Isaac and Bella trick-or-treating. It was so funny! There was the two of us, their parents, their grandparents, and Dan and Chealse. Ha ha! We definitely LOOKed like overprotective parents! They really aren’t of course. We just all wanted to go trick-or-treating! :) Their kids are so cute! It was such a fun night. Afterward we watched a movie and relaxed.

Isaac, Teissa and Casey's son really wanted to play Red Rover... so we did. The guys loved it. HA HA! They all ended up on the same team. I love these pictures! Don't they look happy!?

Teissa’s and her parents are amazing cooks! They made so many great things! I am going to have to try out their recipes. We definitely got spoiled. That is the closest feeling to going home we’ve had in the last 3 months. It was really nice.



Last weekend the married students in the medical school had an activity. We all went to a place called Vala’s Pumpkin Patch. We were thinking that it would have a corn maze and a couple other activities. But no, this place was huge. It was a full amusement park almost. There were haunted houses, 3 different racecar tracks, little restaurants, mini-golf, pumpkin and apple launchings, pig races, and I am sure I have forgotten something. The list was endless.

So while we were in Kansas City we went to Liberty Jail. It was really a neat experience to see that jail and to learn more about the history of the LDS church. There are so many things that I do not know about church so it was really fun. The jail was actually torn down for a while but the church rebuilt part of it and now they have a visitor center there. Joseph Smith wrote many sections of the D&C while he was there.
