Coldstone ice cream

Even though yesterday was a bit chilly, windy, and rainy we couldn't pass up an offer for free Coldstone ice cream. We both love Coldstone not only for the ice cream but because it reminds us of the first date that started it all:)! For those who don't know the story....About 9 months ago, when returning to BYU from Christmas break, Andrew stopped by his sister's house and decided to stay for dinner. My sister and brother-in-law were there too, and there was mention of me somewhere in the conversation. I think it was the next day that Andrew wrote me a message on facebook and mentioned that we should do something sometime. I wrote him back and said I was free anytime. He then wrote me back asking for my phone number. I, however, got busy with stuff and never made it a priority to write him back thinking to myself that if he really wanted to do something he could get my number off facebook. Side note.....If I would have known then what I know now, I probably would have called him:)! Back to the story....he did find my phone number on facebook, sent me a text to break the ice, and then called to ask me out. We ended up going out on our first date on January 17, 2008. We went to Coldstone on a day much colder than yesterday and then went to his apartment to play darts. I love times like yesterday when we can REMEMBER, and our love for each other can continue to grow. I am so blessed to be married to someone who is so caring, understanding, patient, respectful, smart, and fun! I sure do love Andrew:)!!

We're still here...

As you all can see we're still not very good at updating our blog, but here's a quick update on what we've been up to. I started medical school last month and have had one test so far. We're currently doing our Structure and Development course which includes Anatomy, Embryology, and Histology. That course goes through October, then we start Cell & Molecular Biology. On the first day of orientation I ran into another guy from BYU, Bryce Harbertson, and as we talked we realized that Tara and his wife Cathi served in the Rome mission at the same time and knew each other...small world! Tara is currently looking for a job. Unfortunately, schools in Baltimore County don't hire assistant speech pathologists so she's been looking for other options. We haven't visited many sites yet but we have taken a few weekend drives to areas I served in. Tara and I just received new callings in the ward; Tara is a young womens adviser and I am a primary worker. Overall things are going great, but we really miss Utah and all our family and friends...that means you should all come visit soon. The leaves are just starting to change colors so you still have time to come see the beautiful fall colors ;).
