Date Nights

I got another moon, stars (planets), and temple picture! This time it is the Jordan River Temple. One of my favorite date nights is going to the temple in Salt Lake followed by Ganesh, the best Indian we have found in Utah. This evening was fun because we did sealings with JD's parents, aunt and uncle, and his great uncle was the sealer. His parents came with us to Ganesh so they were finally able to experience the deliciousness. It was a great evening!

Happy Birthday Emi!

Today is my sister's birthday. She is in the land of horses, antelope, boots, and cowboys for school and having a grand time. Em is amazing. She is super knowledgeable about all kinds of ''dumb' things from elephants, to dolphins, to just about anything that has ever had a documentary made or a NOVA special on because she loves them. She is a talented violinist and is working on the cello. She knows a lot about surfing/surfers, Switchfoot, cooking, cupcakes, Lord of the Rings, Alias, and occupational therapy. She is one of my very best friends. I love her lots and feel pretty lucky to have her as my sister. Happy Birthday Em.

An Afternoon of Nothings

Christie and I had an interesting President's Day. We did a whole lot of nothings. We were going to go bowling, but when we got to WSU, they were full. We ate lunch where she didn't buy the thing she wanted most. We didn't go bowling at the Junction because they were full too. We didn't ride the train to the Gateway because the train wasn't running for President's Day. We didn't go to the movies because when we got there everything we wanted to see had already started. We did have fun looking at all the furniture in RC Willey, but didn't buy anything. All in all it was a lot of fun, despite how little we actually did. A bonus is we do have $.58 shirts from a Gap Sale we happened across when going to look at furniture, so we have something to show for our efforts. Happy President's Day!

Web Cams

We are going to a few national parks in April and we had concerns about snow for one of them, but I stumbled across something I am now addicted to in an attempt to be prepared: National Parks webcams. I can watch Old Faithful, snow levels in Sequoia, Yosemite, snow at Crater Lake, and many other fun locations. I love it and I love national parks.

Drug Rep Dinners

We went to a drug rep dinner for Xarelto at the Timbermine tonight. I have decided that I like drug rep dinners. I learn a lot when I attend, I feel smart, and free food. This one was particularly fun because this is an anticoagulant medication which I know a thing or two about from personal experience and from my work using such medications for prophylaxis with our hip and knee replacement patients (give them the medication to keep them from getting a clot when they have surgery). It is also a bonus that both JD and I can go together since we are both in pharmacy. We discussed it would be practical to keep my lisence active so that when he is a pharmacist I can still join him to these splendid events.

Valentines

I love my permanent valentine and best friend. We went to Bombay Bites and had only appetizers which was delicious and fun. Before we left we were given a balloon, a rose, and free desert and appetizer. Flowers and a great letter were also included on this 'day of love'.

Dew Volunteer

I volunteered for the Dew Tour on Wednesday and it was one the greatest volunteer gigs ever. We were put over getting the athlete and sponser VIP bags together for the event. This involved hoodies, shirts, beanies, chapstick, and shampoo in a bag. It was super organized so we were able to do all of the bags fairly quickly. We helped move the bags and then the real fun began. We each got a VIP bag, a meal ticket, a buy one get one free lift pass, and a volunteer beanie from GOAL. It was indoors, fast, and fun. I hadn't been up to Snowbasin for years and it was fun seeing the changes that have taken place since it became a Sun Valley Resort too. Volunteering rocks!
