We finally made it!!

2010-08-09T06:18:00.000-07:00

After 4 days of driving, we finally made it to North Carolina. I was really dreading the 4 day drive of 8+ hours each day, but actually it turned out to be really fun! We were able to drive through 9 different states and see some beautiful and amazing things.
Monday July 26 we finished packing up our stuff, loaded it into the ABF trailer, and left the nicest place we have ever lived and probably will live for awhile. :) We decided to have someone else drive our stuff across the country, which I am really grateful for!! Here are some pictures of the house we left!! It was hard to leave the BEAUTIFUL area that we lived in. Tuesday July 27 we headed to Colorado to spend a few days with my family before moving. It was so fun to spend time with them and a nice way to break up the drive.

Saturday July 31 we were off to Kansas City, Missouri. We got there around 7:00, got some dinner and headed to bed.

Sunday August 1 we drove to Louisville, Kentucky and crashed Wes and Lindsey's first anniversary!!! We had no idea that is was their 1st anniversary or we wouldn't have stayed at their house. It was so fun to see them and their cute condo that they live in. On our drive to Louisville we stopped in St. Louis and saw the arch and walked through the Lewis and Clark Museum.

Mondy August 2 was our last day of driving!! Today was suppose to be the shortest day driving of 8 hours but our GPS took us the back way which was 20 miles shorter, but through windy, 55 mile roads. I am really glad we went this way though! It was one of the prettiest drives ever and we got to see back woods Kentucky and Virginia. Here is a picture of what we were driving through. It was BEAUTIFUL!!

Monday night we made it to our new home!! I really like where we live and it is nice living 5 minutes away from Adam's school. It is going to take some time getting use to the humidity and heat!! I have learned that everyone sweats out here!

Our whole married life we have lived in furnished apartments. Well this condo wasn't furnished so we had a lot of things to buy! After a few days without a place to sit, but the floor we decided we needed to get some furniture. We are lucky enough to live 30 minutes away from the furniture capital of the U.S. They had so many stores and everything you could think of!! Here is a picutre of one of the outside of the stores. Coolest thing ever! A dresser on the outside of a building!Here are some picutres of our condo so far. We are finished furnishing it yet, as you will see and I still more decorating to do! Living Room. I am going to hang 3 pictures in a row underneath the clock, if you can picture that.:)

As of right now, our kitchen table and chairs.

Our very white kitchen!!!
This is the only place to put our tv!!! Our the tv is the last thing we are going to buy or we might just ask for one for christmas!

Our Summer Adventures

2010-07-08T07:20:00.000-07:00

With me not having a job, you would think that I have a lot of time to update my blog, but I haven't. So here is what we have been up to the last 2 months.

We flew out to North Carolina one last time before we move to find a place to live. The condo we found has 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms with a sunroom that we will use for Adam's study area.

Adam went alone to pick up our rental car, first mistake, and he came back with this Camero. It was fun to drive and Adam loved driving it.

My family came over for a week in June and while they were here we all went to a REAL game.

This last weekend we went to Las Vegas to visit our friends that live there. It was really fun to see them and hang out with them. While we were there it was 106 degrees, way too hot for me!!

The water show and the Bellagio

Eating crab legs, not a very good picture but it is the only proof I have of eating them!!

This summer is going by so fast and we move in less than 3 weeks!! My next post will be about us moving.

I am so happy and relieved to say that I PASSED all 5 boards!! Now I am in the middle of applying for my licenses and hope to start working as soon as possible!! Adam and I are going to North Carolina in a couple of weeks to look for houses and a job for me so we will see how that goes!!

South Carolina

2010-05-10T13:31:00.000-07:00

Because we are moving to North Carolina I had to take a board out East so I can get my license and practice out there. We found a board exam in South Carolina and signed up for it in January. Since January I have been preparing for the board, trying to find the perfect patient to fly out with me, and getting all the paperwork ready, etc. It was a long and hard process!

It is amazing to look back now that I have taken the board and see that all my prayers were answered and how much Heavenly Father helped me!! I love Heavenly Father so much and I couldn't have done it without his help!!

Finding a perfect patient to fly to South Carolina was an adventure!! With the help of so many I found one 3 days before we had to leave and he ended up being the best patient I could have asked for.

During this process I prayed so hard that everything would work out and that I would find a patient who would qualify. After 4 patients cancelling on me (one of which was 5 days before) I was getting a little worried and frustrated that Heavenly Father wasn't helping me out the way I wanted. So, I called my mom and her answer was exactly what I needed to hear! I love how mom's just know what to say.

She related my experience to Moses and when Heavenly Father parted the Red Sea. Heavenly Father lead them to the sea and just before the Egyptians had caught up the Israelites he parted it. My mom reassured me that just like Moses, Heavenly Father was going to help me and it might just be at the last minute, but he will help me! And he did.

Meet my patient Ariel. He was an awesome patient and was very willing to fly out to South Carolina (we paid for everything so it was a free vacation for him). This was taken at 4:30am eastern time at the airport so I could make it back for my graduation!

Adam and I flew over on a Wednesday so I could take a tour of the school before they closed the school for the exams. My board wasn't until Saturday afternoon so we had a few days to site see and relax, which was so nice! Ariel didn't fly over until Friday night so it was a very quick trip for him.

This is downtown Charleston also known as battery. It is so beautiful over there and all the houses and yards were gorgeous!

Beautiful gardens over there!

This is a picture of southern food! It is a new world over there and I lost my appetite after looking at our food! Adam made me try some and it wasn't as gross as it looks. Definitely different food from what we are use to!

This was a huge bridge that we crossed to get to Mt. Pleasant from Charletson. Something they don't have in Utah.

This is the USS Yorktown Air Craft Carrier. We were able to walk through it and see all the different planes that were used in the different wars and learn what it would be like to live on one of these ships.

We were able to walk through a submarine that was used during World War II.

Getting ready to go into the submarine.

After the all the relaxing and playing saturday came and it was an eventful day! I realized a few hours before my board I needed a different x-ray so thank goodness for the church, we were able to find an LDS dentist over there who helped me out and let me come and take an x-ray 4 hours before my board!

I am so glad that it is over and my results for the board are in the mail so I should find out tomorrow or Wednesday!!

Graduation

2010-05-03T13:23:00.000-07:00

After 4 years of college, I am finally done! During school I would studied ALL the time. School was the ONLY thing that I could think about. I would study in the shower, while getting ready in the mornings, while driving, and even dream about the things I studied. It is an amazing load off my shoulders to be done!

At graduation I recieved an award. I really surprised to hear my name called and wasn't sure at first if it was me that was called. I got the Golden Scaler Award. It is an award that is for outstanding clinical skills. I also graduated with a 4.0 GPA. It was hard, but I was able to do it because I had the best support and help from family and friends!

The BEST family in the world!! You can see that I am holding my golden scaler in the picture.

The next few pictures are of my friends at graduation. I couldn't have made it through the program without these girls!!!

Finally Done With School!!

2010-04-19T09:05:00.000-07:00

It is a bitter sweet feeling to finally be done with school. I won't miss the tests, quizzes, etc. but the 56 girls I am with everyday I will miss! It is crazy to think that I probably will never see any of them again.

Last week we had a bon fire where we burned our scrubs and all our homework assignments, books, etc. It was so much fun!

Burning our homework!!! YAY!!!

My study group!

Adam is the best husband and was so supportive throughout school. Every morning he would make me breakfast and lunch with little notes written on my food! :) Because we only have one car we would carpool to school which meant he would listen to me study on the way to school, drop me off, come and pick me up and listen to me vent about school the whole way home! The list doesn't end there, we would get home around 6 pm and Adam would help me or most of the time make dinner and then I would study around 3 hours each night. We are both ready for me to graduate!!

Little cute notes he would write on my lunch

Adam was my first and my last patient at school. He also came in many times when I would have patients cancel on me. Adam is going to be my anesthetia boards patient which means I will be giving him 2 injections and be graded on them. He is such a sport and I probably have given him 10 injections just to practice while in school! Don't you love Adam's glasses!!

My favorite patient ever!

2 month update

2010-04-06T17:25:00.000-07:00

These last 2 weeks have gone by so slow as I have been waiting for my board scores. Today I got the results in the mail and I PASSED!! I got a 91% which I am very happy with! What a relief to have 1 of my 5 boards done, and in 24 days I will be completely done!

A week ago was Adam's birthday. I gave him a certificate that said he had won a romantic date with me and he will get 3 clues throughout the day which will let him know what we will be doing. First, I made him breakfast in bed which was pop-up pancakes a.k.a. german pancakes. (I had no idea that these were german pancakes until I was at school explaining my pop-up pancakes to some girls in my class!)

The next clue lead us to the melting pot where we had yummy cheese and chocolate.

Adam's last clue lead him to the gateway where I was going to buy him a hat, but he didn't find one he liked so we will continue looking for the perfect hat.

We also celebrated his birthday at his parents house and Adam was able to play basketball all weekend.

It has been a fun and crazy 2 months and we have loved every minute! I can't believe I graduate in 20 days and I couldn't have made it this far with out my best friend, Adam!!

Our 2nd Anniversary

2010-02-09T18:07:00.000-08:00

January 25th was our 2nd anniversary. Adam and I switch off everyother year planning it, and this year it was mine turn. To start off our fun weekend we went to the eye doctor because I am getting Lasik eye surgery as soon as I graduate, thanks to my parents. While we were there we got some really groovy sunglasses.
Friday night I gave Adam a dvd that wrapped up the last 2 years we have spent together. Saturday we went to the Bountiful temple and did sealings which was really fun to do because we got married in that temple!

After the temple, we went to the Roof at the Joseph Smith Building for dinner. It was so delicious!! We had our reception there so we went back to the room which our reception was held. It was a really fun weekend.

The day of our anniversary, Adam sent me 2 dozen roses at school. They were BEAUTIFUL! He is such a sweetie!! I am so glad that I have him in my life and don't know what I would do without him. I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Wake Forest

2009-12-17T17:03:00.000-08:00

Adam has spent a lot of time studying for the GMAT, applying for schools, and interviewing for Business School. His hard work has paid off!! He was accepted to Wake Forest! As of the beginning of August, North Carolina will be our new home!!

We are excited to live on the East Coast. So, if anyone wants to come and see North Carolina, come and visit us!!

My 21st Birthday

2009-09-06T17:59:00.000-07:00

So 2 weeks ago was my 21st birthday! Adam made me breakfast in the morning and then I took him to work. I started off the day by running 5 miles, went to lunch with Makenna and then visited my friend Brette who was just diagnosed with Lukemia.

For dinner Adam and I went to the Pizza Factory, by the way you get a free pizza in the shape of your age on your birthday!! It was yummy!

Adam went to go take the picture and the pizza started to slip. It looks like I am shocked I am 21!

This is the cool, free 21 shaped pizza I got on my birthday!

My cute husband and me!!

After dinner we came home and Adam gave me his gift. It was an envelope full of random pictures and money. He told me that the pictures were like a map of what we were going to do on Friday. I put them in order starting from Mapleton and stopping at different shopping stores and ending in a hotel in Salt Lake. I am so lucky to have an amazing husband and I love him so much!!

After I opened Adams gift I wanted to make a birthday cake. It was pink with a lot of sprinkles!! I love birthdays and this was the perfect 21st birthday!!

14,110 Feet High: Pikes Peak

2009-08-06T10:27:00.000-07:00

After I survived finals we headed over to Colorado to spend some time with my fam. While we were there we went to Pagosa Springs, Royal Gorge (Elizabeth called it Flaming George because there was a man dressed in pink) and finished by driving up to the top of Pikes Peak.

Pagosa Springs was absolutely amazing! There were 20 different hot springs that ranged from 90 degrees to about 120 degrees and people were actually completely submersed in the pools! It was very relaxing and felt wonderful.

During the day we went to Mesa Verde to see the "Ancestral Publeoan" buildings (Anasazi isn't politically correct anymore). They were pretty neat!

We also went to Royal Gorge, which is the highest suspension bridge in the world. We took a train down to the bottom of the Gorge by the river and I couldn't believe how steep it was! It was like a roller coaster that went very slow, which almost made it more scary.

Pikes Peak was a beautiful, mountainous 2 hour drive round trip up a steep switchback road. When we finally reached the top it was 50 degrees and we all were freezing!! It was so fun to be with my family and I love Colorado.

Our First Attempt in the Blogosphere

2009-05-18T19:58:00.000-07:00

This is Adam.....this will probably be the only time you hear from me. It's late and my wife is doing jumping jacks and running around the hot chocolate (aka - coffee) table in the living room in preparation for our cycling class tomorrow morning at Gold's Gym. Meanwhile, I just finished off a yummy dish of sugar-free, fat-free chocolate pudding. It was as good as it sounds!!! If I were a true blogger, I would post a picture of the pudding, but alas, I am not.

I hereby hand over the reigns of the blogosphere to my wife Emily.

P.S. She looks really hot in her seaweed green/teal scrubs!!! (I'll post a picture of that later)
