Applying continues....a poster is born...

Well, we are still in the process of applying for medical school. There are 15 schools that we sent our applications to and we have already heard back from 10 of them. All 10 of them want secondary applications----

So, we are in the section of secondary applications. I got this idea from my old relief society president. It took me longer to make the poster than it looks.

I wrote down all 15 schools ( yes the pic only shows 10, somehow I could not get them all in) we sent the MCAT to...then, a section for secondary requests (who wants secondary info), second aps (who we send secondary info to), interview requests (who requests an interview), interviews (who we interview with), and acceptance (who accepted us).

I started it in alphabetical order, but one got out of place and such...And the info should be on the top, not the bottom...but I digress

The good news is that there have already been 5 or so schools soliciting Steve. Most of them are M.D.P.H.D...and one is a D.O., which is not what Steve wants...but this is very exciting.

Can't wait until everything in the poster is filled out........

Oregon Trip Part 2

This is the slide show I put together from our Oregon trip. I wish I would have taken more pics--I certainly could have...
ENJOY

Our Oregon Trip Part one......

Wow...we were gone for 12 days, Andy and I...and let me just say that it was REALLY weird to come back.

I got so use to having my mom there to help me and having dogs around, and just the beauty of Oregon. We took a lot of pics so this will have to take place over a couple of posts.

She got to bond with grandpa Steve while watching the game....

Andy really loved the dogs...it is too cute for words...so I had to take some video of everything---

Andy really was in love with all 7 dogs...they rather annoyed me, but I think she really misses them....

Oregon Baby

I have so much to post about...but have to save it for another week or two. Just to update---Andy and I are in the middle of a much needed trip to Oregon. We only wish that Steve was able to be here with us and miss him so much---thanks for making it possible babe!! It is so exciting to be here and have one on one time with grandma and grandpa and Auntie Kaylie.

The trip here has too many words to even begin explaining. I will just say that I am NEVER GOING TO DO A LAYOVER WITH A BABY AGAIN! Flight number 1 was great, she slept the whole time. Flight number two was like "OK, I was good for you the first time, but you are making me do this again...I will show you. " I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!!


I can't download pics yet, but they will be coming. For now, here are some quick favorites of the trip thus far: enjoying momma feeding Andy every meal, talks with dad, Oregon's beauty, TUCKER---not Tikki, NO SALES TAX, green everywhere, visiting old friends, Andy falling in love with 7 different dogs, a frontzie car seat, and breathing time are just the beginning of my adventures...


Just a little preview---my mom's dogs had five little ones. I am not the biggest fan, but Andy is in heaven. The dogs are her favorite thing in the world. They are kind of cute.....

My little walker

My little baby is a walker now. Here are some clips of her when she was learning to walk---I just figured out how to put them on the computer... It seems like such a long time ago....

Again--she pretty much walks now ( just shaky, not runnning yet), so these clips don't do justice. I just think it is fun to see the beginning stages.......

My Birthday

As all my bdays--this one was a success....We went to St. George, saw my brothers, played in the pool, went out to eat, and saw my favorite LES MIS at the Tuacon.



It wasn't professional, but I would call it semiprofessional. John Val John---when he sang was very very impressive. He tended to speak when he should sing and that about drove me insane. Overall---Javier was my favorite. I love it...Loved the outdoor element to it. They used the outdoors to help them. During fight scence they shot a cannon at us. Fireworks went off. I LOVE IT. I LOVED MY BDAY. Thanks everyone who made it possible....



Videos from Andy's bday---

Rear Ended---FIRST AND LAST????

Last Tuesday I sat at a red light waiting for the opportunity to turn right. All of a sudden I hear a big BANG and am flinging forward a bit. I look back and realize that I have been rear ended.

I look even further back to see if the person who hit me must have been charged into because there is absolutely no way anyone would hit a stopped car..but no.

I pull over and try to breathe, not knowing how to handle what is about to come. I have never been in an accident of any kind, even as a passenger...so I was a little on the scared side. I was thanking heaven above that ANDREA was not in the car with me ( as I really was feeling the whip lash).

The Man got out of his car, claimed complete responsiblity ( I'll say) and was actually reallly decent. We called the cops, filled out a report and surveryed the damage. I really think I held it together pretty well considering. I didn't break down until after the fact.

The trunk of the car is just popped up and won't go down, but the damage waws estimated at about 2000 dollars. Crazy. Thank heavens I won't be paying for it. I was so mad that this came on bday week when we were planning to make a trip to st. george. We actually have a nice rental car and it is all working out pretty good.

Overall, I am still a little razzled and my neck is pretty sore and it is hard to turn...but I am grateful it wasn't worse. I hope this is the first and last accident of my life.

My first Birthday Gift---early and all

Ok, so you all have very little time to get me the perfect gift for my bday...Actually, it is too late since my hubby already got me the perfect gift.

Along with the summer Olympics---For some reason Les Miserables has always been a part of my bday throughout the years. It is my number one favorite musical, and the first one I saw at the age of ten.

This year my hubby is taking me to Tuacon theatre in St. George to watch Les Mis. Mckay and his wife live there and they will be watching Andy so we can enjoy ourselves. It might be a bit before I post again because we will be gone...It is going to be so much fun!!!!

To Dad, Sara and WEE WIN--Thanks for bdays past of the Les Mis experience...So excited to finally go on that perfect Les Mis date!!
