Summer 2009

OK! It's finally time to catch-up on summer. Where we've been, what we've done, and a peek into what we're currently up to. Since this posting is going to be packed with photos, I'll treat this more as a picture book than a story for the sake of mine and your time.

June:
Strawberry Day's Rodeo with the Butterworths, sisters, and AMAZING strawberries and cream. YUM!
Real Salt Lake game with the Rigbys.

July:

Peterson/Ott family reunion in McCall, Idaho. If only I had more photos of what we actually did. Family - I'll need your photos, pretty please :) Between river rafting, boating, jet-skiing, wake-boarding, wake-surfing, tanning... I think we were able to fit it all in.

It was an awesome trip though and here's the rapid where we almost drowned. Seriously.Then it was off to Maui, Hawaii with the Rigbys. Here are just of few highlights.

Lots of yummy family dinners after a hard days work playing on the beach, snorkeling, etc.
Brennan's Birthday Present - Helicopter Rides for ALL!!!
Our 1 Year Anniversary! We celebrated with a delicious breakfast date and then a 5 hour flight home. We've had so much fun this past year and life has been so wonderful.


August:

Annual DNA Golf Tournament in PC. I got to try out my new clubs and they were fabulous.

Our last day date before school started again. We explored Union Station in Ogden. It was fun walking through the museums and seeing all the trains.
Brennan's first day of school and the beginning of a very busy year preparing for medical school applications.
September - Now:

And for the final wrap-up, school is now currently in full swing. Between school, research, volunteer, physician shadowing, patient care experience, work, MCAT prep and everything else, Brennan is very busy (and therefore me too). It's going to be a fun and challenging year, but we're exciting to tackle it and enjoy the ride.

We've still been able to fit in some fun activities though so that helps keep us sane - like the Greek Festival downtown for example. That was really fun and it reminded Brennan of Armenia. We're also getting really excited for ski season. Only 1.5 months left and Park City opens. It'll be cold, but well worth it. We can't wait.
