Puppy update!

So, a few months ago I escorted a puppy down to LA.... Just thought I'd post a picture of Lewis.  He's crazy fun....

This space is being reserved for my Sugar Bowl pics...

Suffice it to say, it was AWESOME!!!  The food was outstanding, the city was amazing, and most importantly the Utes kicked some butt!!  

I'll post some pics as soon as I get them back....

December 27, 2008

So, a new tradition that we started last year is a Christmas skiing trip.  Last year, we hit some fresh powder on a lonely Brighton resort which was absolutely amazing for most of us (sorry Jenn!).  This year, due to time and a broken toe, only my mom and I were able to hit the slopes.  We decided to up the ante and hit Snowbird....

Here I am on the first ride up thinking about how amazing I am...

(little did I know that I'd be hurting from this run over a month later....ouch! my collar bone!)

Here's my mom also gleaning with confidence...

The backside of Snowbird....we rode a tunnel walkway through the mountain.  Awesome!!  This is also about the time both my mom and I realized that we're not as amazing as we thought....

ugh!  I'm finished!

August 30ish 2008

So...Jeff and I have this sweet set-up.  I talk my mom into letting Jeff go to the Utah games, and Jeff pays for my trip.  This year, we opened up against the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House.  We definitely couldn't pass on this, and we thought this would be the big game to go to this year...turns out we were wrong (more on that later).

We caught a Tiger game the day before.  Tiger stadium has a sweet backdrop of the city....but I don't think I'd ever want to hang out outside the stadium too long...

Jeff wide-eyed at the Tigers game...

Go Utes!

Ute fans were a little outnumbered in the among the 100,000+

1-0.  12 more to go!!

Graduation - June 15, 2008

So, I don't feel like studying and I haven't updated this for awhile (not that anyone reads it), so I thought I'd post a few pics and update, etc.

These pics are from my dental school graduation this last summer.  It was a crazy three years, and I learned a lot about life, myself, and a bit about dentistry.  San Francisco will always hold a special place in my life.  I'm grateful for all of the support I received from friends and family no matter the decisions I made.  I hope to build on some of the experiences I had there....

This is a picture of my grandma and grandpa in my old SF apato.  I loved this place, and have very few pics, but here's one....

And another.  This is a pic of my bathroom...I love my shower curtain.

This is my family and I at Osha Thai!!  I love love this place....best Thai food ever.

Here I am at graduation!  Along with rowmates Lucinda, Heidi!, and Val.  

And here I am with the fam again.  I drank like 4 sodas/day during dental school....

hence the fat kid

And here's one with my dad, kmom, and Kelsey...

And here's Kelsey tackling me at Muir Woods 

(although methinks this may be a pre-graduation trip)
