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!

Swirled Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

I made this recipe for a school pot luck, and it was a big hit, so I thought I'd post it for anyone who wants to give it a try. I'd never made it before but I thought it was delicious. If you like peanut butter and cheesecake you'll love it.

Swirled Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

Graham cracker crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter -1 stick
1/3 cup sugar
Mix and press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan

Filling
2 Packages 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 can 12 oz evaporated milk
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 cup 6 oz peanut butter and milk chocolate chips

Beat cream cheese, sugar and flour in a large bowl until smooth. Add evaporated milk, eggs and vanilla.
Microwave chips on 70% power for 1 minutes. stir, if they need more time do 15 second intervals. Add 1 cup of cream cheese mixture to the chocolate.
Pour remaining cream cheese mix onto the crust. Pour chocolate mix over the cream cheese. Swirl with a spoon.

Bake at 325 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until set. Cool completely on rack and then refrigerate until firm. Cut into bars.

Boards and Summer

Dave and Dahlia in California

June was a whirlwind. Dave spent many hours (in April and May as well) studying for medical boards, and then took the step 1 boards on the 9th. I finished the school year and then taught a couple weeks of summer school. I was able to take my class on tons of fun field trips. I had 11 students in my class. After summer school and boards Dave and I went to southern California for a week and a half. We hung out at the beach and boogie boarded, went to Six Flags, and to Disneyland. Next I went to girl’s camp with our stake Young Woman. While I was at girls camp Dave found a great deal on a Subaru Legacy. It was in Indiana, a couple hours south of Chicago. So as soon as I got back from girls camp we packed up and took off for Chicago. We spent a couple days there and then headed down to Indiana to check out the car. We loved it, so we bought it and drove home!
June was so busy, but so fun! Here are some some pictures of our June adventures.
Mmmm, the Taste of Chicago
