3 Years later...

And life still feels like a honeymoon! :)

Then

And now

I got in! :)

Wow, it has been FOREVER since our last post! I'm not sure if anyone even checks our blog anymore but if so I just wanted to let everyone know that I got accepted to the Dental Hygiene Program at Columbus State! I'm still waiting to hear back from Ohio State though. I'm so excited to finally be getting on with school!

Dan Graduated!!!

Dan graduated in December from Ohio State with a degree in International Business and Economics. I'm so proud of him! He is happy to have a little break from school. I promised him he could take a few months off before starting to study for his GMAT. Here are a few pics.



The Buckeye cake I made for him.



I had to post this pic of us with Gordon Gee (OSU's President-he's Mormon) even though I look terrible. I had literally just thrown my sweater on because it was so hot and I had no idea the line was going to move so fast. :)


Can you tell I'm excited and proud?! :)





Lauren and I snuck down to the "off limits" part of the arena to get this one. :)

Maybe cats do have 9 lives...

Our little cat Charlie has had some breathing problems since we got him and we finally figured out why. He has a herniated diaphragm and pretty much all of the organs that should be in his abdominal cavity are in his thoracic cavity. As a result one of his lungs is collapsed. He was most likely hit by a car before we got him. So, today he had major surgery to correct all this and everything seems to have gone fine. We get to pick him up tomorrow. I know it may seem silly to have such an extensive surgery done on a pet but he has filled a place in my heart that I haven't been very successful filling with something else. ;) We are very thankful!

Another year older....(sigh)

I turned 26 years old on the 18th....Aghhhh! I can't believe it. It doesn't seem old when other people tell me they are 26 but it feels old to be 26 myself. I had a wonderful birthday!!! Dan and I got to go to the temple Saturday morning which is rare for us since I usually work on Saturdays. Then we went to my parents house and hung out all day. We ate tons of pizza and watched the OSU game. I'm glad they had such an awesome game on my birthday because I was a little worried. :) We carved pumpkins and then went to Walmart and tried on a bunch of Halloween Costumes. My mom even made the birthday cake she used to make for me when I was a little girl.

Oh yeah....Did I mention I got a cricut! Horray for Dan being the best husband ever!!

Our new kitty!

It's been a while since our last post but not much has been happening. We did get a new kitty though. We found him on Craigslist. He had been hanging around this ladies house for a while and was homeless. He's super sweet! He really really really likes human food and he begs for it like a dog. I've never seen a cat do this! He also follows Dan and I wherever we go. We didn't really want a cat but couldn't stand the thought of him being homeless. We're crazy about him now though. Oh yeah and his name is Charlie.

Bienvenido a Miami

Dan and I took a trip down to south Florida this week and it was wonderful! We went to South Beach and did some shopping in the Art Deco district and took a walk on the beach. We had lunch at Pamela's deli, a delicious Chilean restaurant. I got to try a completo, churrasco, empanadas (Chilean style-there is a difference), pastel de choclo and torta de mil hojas. It was all really good but my favorite was the torta which is lots of layers of thin cake with caramel in between...yum! Dan was in Chilean heaven!! While in Miami we also went through little Havana and took a tour of the everglades. Riding the airboat was actually a lot of fun except for the fact that we had to stuff toilet paper in our ears because it was so loud. We saw lots of alligators and I got to hold little Snappy-a one year old alligator. He was super cute but the guy told us not to kiss him because he would kiss back-haha!

When we weren't in Miami we spent most of our time on the beach. Fort Lauderdale was awesome and we highly recommend it to anyone that is going to FL. We could see the bottom even when we were waist deep in the water- it was beautiful! I could go on and on and on about how beautiful it is but I'm sure you can see from the pictures. :)

The icing on the cake was the fact that there was a Krystal (if you're from the south and you've ever left you understand the excitement! :))right in front of our gate in the Atlanta airport so we got to have a Krystal burger before heading to Ohio-delicious!
