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!

First trip of the year...

Yes I do love Disney World! As you can tell from all the pictures :) This is my friend Betsy Cook. She is a high school math teacher. We had the same spring break so we planned a Florida getaway. It was so nice! The weather was absolutely wonderful. We went running outside in the mornings, hung out by the pool, went to Siesta Beach and Cocoa Beach, shopped til we dropped (literally) and of course went to Disney World. :) We did a day of service at an American Red Cross and got a free pass to the park! Super good deal.
Betsy's sister and her daughter at the park with us. We didn't know until right before our trip but her sister and her family were going to Disney World right when we were so we got to hang out with them for the day. They were so much fun!






One day we went to Lake Louisa and had a picnic. There were a million, (not an exaggeration!) little tadpoles in the lake. We took tons of pictures... I don't know why but whenever I see creatures, fish, animals I take way more pictures than any sane person would ever want! Dave will vouch for me! Lol... Don't worry I will only put one of the many up.






Oh we had so much fun. :) And luckily we seem to have brought the good weather home with us. We have even had some days in the 80's here in Omaha! I love the sun. I feel so much more productive when it is nice and warm outside.

So Dave only has 5 more weeks of school and I have 6. I cannot believe we have almost made it through our first year here. 1 down, 3 to go! We are counting down the days til we come to visit everyone at home in Utah. We will be there sometime in the first couple weeks of June. :) See you all soon!!
