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!

Holiday Safety Tips

-2°F

-22°F
Precip: 20%

Yes bleak. A high of -2. That's right. Right now the temperature is -3 and feels like -30 with the wind chill! This is craziness. Why do I live here? Oh yeah, Creighton Medical School.
Well at least I only have 3 1/2 years of this place. We will not be staying here for Dave's residency. We have made a promise to only apply to programs in warm places. (Hawaii, California, Florida, ect. and Utah) If we don't live by our families we might as well be warm!
So what have I done on my days off? Wednesday I used my new Shark cleaner, thank you Mom and Dad! My floors look better than ever. And today I started painting the upstairs! Yeah! I also went to see The Princess and the Frog with Betsy Larsen and Chelsea Miller. We had so much fun. We saw like 15 cars and a semi-truck all on the side of the freeway as we drove to and from the movie! It is crazy out there. People are sliding off the road all over the place. It looked like Antarctica out there. We were glad we made it home safely.
Betsy teaches high school math and Chelsea works in a 2nd grade classroom so we all have the week off basically. We decided that tomorrow we are making breakfast and having a movie day at my place. It is seriously too cold to go outside for more than a couple minutes. So we are going to drink hot chocolate and try to stay warm in our houses!
Well here are some pictures from our Christmas vacation...

Hey it's Shauna. I am glad I found your blog. I don't know if you remember me that well from the singles ward that David was in, or my cousin Nate? My husband got into Dental school at Creighton. We will do our first year here in Utah through the RDEP program. How much longer do you guys have? Will you still be there in a year? I love your blog, it would be way fun to be in school with you guys!
