Update

OK.....So i finally got around to updating the blog. All that has been going on for me is pretty work..WorK....WORK!!! (like 60 hrs a week). Brett has been a good sport. I got sick on Tuesday, I thought it was just allergies, but it turned out to be a really bad cold. I couldn't have the day off, because things are so busy with work. It was kind of rough, but Brett gave me a blessing and I know that that helped. (And Brett made some insanely delicious homemade chicken noodle soup that was so amazing that the Queen of England herself would have dumped her tea and crumpets just to smell it!!...ok that was me, brett, who wrote that). But he's right, it was delicious. And today I came home and he had the house clean. So he's been very good to me. We are planning on playing hard this weekend, since we are so busy during the week.

Jed, our houseguest, moved out. He was here for only about 2 weeks, which was shorter than we thought, but it was still good. He was fun to have around. Brett and him were Wii buddies. (More like Jed was a Wii WEAKLING and Brett DOMINATED, that was me again, sorry marn for interrupting). We'll sure miss Jed (even though he's not a "real" doctor) and Jen and their whole clan!!! But, we got a queen size bed out of the deal, so we're happy about that.

Oh, and about Brett. He just received a position to start this Fall for one year to do research and therapy at the Texas Children's Hospital. It is a really renowned hospital for adolescent research and stuff. Also, he got his own personal research project approved to start collecting data later this summer. And, one more thing, one of his professors just got a big research grant and asked Brett to help her do it (that's a huge compliment). Its bilingual research so he'll get to use his spanish. anyway, thats my hubby!!!!

Houston is getting HOT and HUMID, but we're enjoying it here, lovin our house, and each other.

We couldn't go to Utah without seeing the fellas even for a little bit! Everyone was kind enough to fit us into there schedule. We all met for lunch at Cafe Rio. Not everyone was able to make it, but we appreciate those who did. Dave and Karlie came by the house later that night and some people we're out of town. It was good to see everyone and catch up. It's hard being away from all of our friends. Dan Yeates and Doug are both engaged to great women! Congrats to both!

Wes and the MTC

We flew home to Utah for Wes' farewell. He did awesome! The following Wed we took him to the MTC. Pics are of the fam and Marn and I with Wes, what a good lookin missionary.....Wes looks pretty good too! The picture of the bench is where I first saw Marnie in the MTC when we were both missionaries. Don't get any ideas...we we're both focused on the Lord's work. We thought it would be fun to take a picture where we first ran into each other in the MTC.

My Day

So I turned 26 yesterday!!!! I woke up to Brett making breakfast, we had a relaxing morning and got out for a fabulous lunch. I had been looking for a fun place to go and I found  a Japanese restaurant here called Shabu House that I had been to in Japan and was so excited to go. It is called Shabu Shabu and what it is, is were you have a pot of broth in front of you and they give you a plater of veggies and a plater of meat, now the meat is sliced really thin and you cook it all on your own. the give you two different kinds of dipping sauce, peanut and teriyaki. It was fun and delicious!!! Then we went Birthday shopping and I got some new clothes and Brett was so patient while I took my time browsing the stores.  It was such a great day!!
