Utah!

Skyler and I went up to Utah in October for his interview for Medical School at the University of Utah. He said that the interview went really well and he really enjoyed the school and facilities were amazing! But we won't hear back probably until March since they only accept 16 out of state residence, so we were just excited he got an interview! But we would love to go there and be close to family. My sister Wendy and her family live up there as well as grandparents and a lot of cousins. Skyler's little brothers are going to BYU right now so it would be a lot of fun to be near them, especially when they start playing football! Skyler will just have to keep that a secret from the U since BYU and the U pretty much hate each other. But for now we are for sure in at Midwestern out in Glendale, so if we don't get accepted to any others then Glendale it will be! Skyler was accepted to Western out in Pamona CA, but we decided Midwestern in AZ would be a better fit for our us. But we will keep you updated on where we are going, but for now we are just trying to get through this last semester of school, we cannot wait for MAY!! But here are some pictures from our trip! It was really cold and snowed while we were there so we went sledding with the Hyde Family and then Riley, Skyler's little brother, came up and hung out with us at my sisters house and then we went to dinner with him that night and checked out where is living and where he works! It was a really fun trip!

My 1st Injection!!!

So today was one to remember... I gave my 1st injection! My patient Laura (a fellow student) was my partner today so we got to practice on one another! Don't worry we had an instructor by us the whole time so they were pretty much telling us what to do. But it was so fun, and a lot easier then what I was expecting. But I just wanted to share my 1st injection with everyone, and thanks Jolene for documenting it for me! And also to Laura for being such a great patient, we love the PSA now!!! (that was the injection we gave for all you dental people out there!)

Lake Powell

So Skyler and I got to get away for the weekend to my favorite place, Lake Powell! We stayed with Brik, Ashley, Trey, Clayton, Haylie, Ana, Ridge, Chelsea, Riley, and Lexi on the Jackson's house boat! It was so amazing and the weather was unbelievable! It was so nice since I was on break from school, so it worked out perfect. We had such a fun time hanging out with the family, and spending time on the lake! Thanks Brik and Ash for a wonderful vacation!! And Skyler was due to see Trey! He is obsessed with that little guy! Or with babies in general if you couldn't tell from the photo below. Love you Skyler!
