Our summer
Monday, February 28, 2011
something new!
I feel like I never have anything to write about because all we do is work..go to school...and watch tv, sad but true. We feel so busy- but don't really have anything to show for it other than grades and free hours at the hospital haha.
We are both in the second semester of our programs. (Alexa: Radiology) (Zach: Athletic Training) I'm still doing 24 clinical hours a week at the hospital and driving to Weber for class every Tuesday. I'm also still trying to work on top of all that..trying..being the key word. I only get like 10 hours a week. At least I'll be done with school around this time next year!
Poor Zach has to drive to Weber 4 times a week. But, the new part of our life is that Zach got a new job! He has been looking for a job as a physical therapy aide and finally got one. We are pretty excited that he landed one in Ogden. It doesn't pay all that great, but it works out for him already being in Ogden all the time for school. He also really needs paid experience in the medical field since he wants to apply for PA school when he graduates his program. You have to have a certain number of hours paid hours to even be considered so it will be great. He is MOST excited that he is moving on from the painting world. He will also umpire this spring/summer every saturday. We've already made one trip to St. George this year for baseball but it got rained out. We head back down for another tournament over spring break.
Other than that..life remains the same. Oh, I did turn 21 on Feb. 6th...we may have gone to a casino in mesquite..just because we can now haha...
Since I don't take pictures anymore I might as well do a blast from the past! Just to see how far we've come ;) At least he won't have to come home looking like this anymore.

The Simple Things
I miss getting your advice
I miss playing Nintendo with you
I miss having date nights with you and Casey
I miss making you PB&J toast
I miss going to your office just to say hi
I miss getting your help with homework
I miss you teasing me and making me laugh
I miss your dutch oven cooking
I miss camping and 4wheeling
Mostly I just miss spending time with you...
I won't be able to make anymore memories with my big brother, I'll only be able to remember the old ones. Life really is too short especially when it comes to the simple things. I feel guilty for taking these little things for granted when Erik was still here. I hope everyone remembers what Christmas is really about and takes the time to make special memories with your loved ones- because you never know when they will be taken from you. Life won't ever be the same-we will just begin to get used to a new "normal" but even after 2 years, I don't feel like we're there yet.
I'm still trying to remember the simple things. . .

Fall Fun & Year One
- Zach turned 21 on Oct. 26
- We are finishing up our first semester in less than a month Then we get all of December off wahoo! 1 down 4 to go
- Zach has been playing rec basketball and flag football, I have been the #1 fan
- We went to St. George for a weekend-Zach umpired 12 baseball games and I sold t-shirts
- We celebrated our first anniversary on Nov. 5th!
On Friday Zach had these beautiful flowers delivered to my work and I wasn't even expecting him to be so thoughtful haha I mean..he is a man right? He even had a cute little note inside that said "thanks for the best year of my life" what a SWEETHEART right?? Well he even got us a hotel in SLC so Friday night we drove down there and went to Olive Garden. The next day we rode the trax around town and went to the Gateway. I think Zach was a little jealous that we weren't going to the Utah vs. TCU game...there were fans everywhere, but the Utes got their butts kicked- so it probably wasn't a good game. Anyways we did the other traditional stuff-ate the top layer of our cake....it didn't look too appetizing considering it was in the freezer for a year, but it didn't taste too bad! We also watched our wedding video which was so cute :)
All in all it was a perfect anniversary! The past year has been tough, but so rewarding too. We have had lots of fun! One down-Eternity to go, love you boo!!! :)

{Pretty blues} ((eyes))
We went EVERYWHERE! We drove halfway to Boise the first day and went to a sweet waterpark. Then we drove to Hines and stayed the night. The next day we drove all the way to Eugene OR. Other places we visited were: Salem, and Portland to see cousin Kim :) and we traveled the coast.
