I am so terrible about taking pics but thank goodness for friends and stealing pics off their blogs. Here are some good times we've had with our friends down here.
  • CARDIO DANCE CLASS AT MIDWESTERN
  • ICE CREAM FOR MELISSA'S BIRTHDAY
  • ERIN'S BABY SHOWER
  • JARED'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
  • CAMPING/MOUNTAIN BIKING IN PRESCOTT

DRUM ROLL PLEASE.......WE GOT WATER PARK PASSES FOR THE SUMMER AND I AM A LITTLE TOO EXCITED


sidenote: Is my friend Rachel (green tank top on the right in the dance pic) Jessica Patch's identical twin? I think so!

New Mexico




The weekend after California we headed to New Mexico to visit Aaron's sister and her family. I'm seriously obsessed with those kids and I haven't stopped quoting them since we've been back. Adrienne told the kids that a special friend was coming to visit and when we got there they got way excited but then they kept telling us they had special friends coming and we had to convince them that WE were the special friends haha it was cute. As of now Sadie is calling me Sharon and she is calling Aaron Adam haha but every now and then she gets our names right. Not being around all of our nieces and nephews is probably one of the hardest things cause they grow so much in between each time we see them. Well we had a blast trekking through all the indian reservations and enjoying a weekend in New Mexico.

Amen


I still can't believe what I experienced this week...I have never laughed so hard by myself in my life and I realize this will not be as funny for others to read because no one was there but I just have to document it for my own sake. So for my Psych class I had to attend a group meeting of some sort (AA, Food Addictions Anonymous, etc.) I found a Christian Church that has group meetings on Monday nights so I went to attend one. Well this past Monday they decided to all join together for a therapeutic worship night. Equipped with Pastor Dan and a Christian Rock Band. So I go in and all these lovely fellow Christians take the new girl (me) right under the wing and invite me to sit right in the middle of them. At this point I realized this was not going to fulfill my assignment but all of these people had just so lovingly welcomed me I couldn't just stand up and be like "Oh, I actually don't have an addiction (besides Gossip Girl) and I don't want to sway and sing and praise the night away." So what did I do? I praised and swayed and clapped my way through the night while trying no to burst out in laughter which I realize would have been so mean but I was just so out of my comfort zone. You know on TV when people are shaking, swaying, clapping, trembling, etc...yeah well that's what I went to. On one hand it was cool to experience because I have only experienced LDS services and on the other hand I am still laughing so hard at the whole situation.
AMEN!

What a week




Um....the most amazing french toast of my life- french toast dipped in coconut and corn flakes stuffed with bananas and caramel with caramel and chocolate sauce on the side...wowzahh is right!
If you're ever in LA go to Kitchen24 if you can handle that much sugar

Aaron had the week off for his spring break and we took full advantage of that because between now and June 27 it is officially crunch time for Aaron. He has boards at the end of June which is hands down the most important day and test of a med students life...that single test pretty much determines everything...scary I know. We fit as much as we could in a week and saying it was magical is an understatement. It felt so good to be able to spend so much time together with out the stress of school. We started off the break with a few days in California. We met up with Anne, Pete, and Ryan for some fun at Disneyland. Then spent a day at Newport Beach with just the two of us and then spent the next day with Adam in fancy Beverly Hills. We had yummy food, great company, good laughs, and some major relaxation.
