Tonight was our ward's Relief Society birthday party so I volunteered to make a cake. I don't know what I was thinking because I spent all day stressed about this. I'm so happy it turned out well. It was a MAJOR hit. Thanks mom for all the tips and help. I now have another amazing treat to add to my repertoire.Tuesday, March 30, 2010

All Things Winter
March has been a month to squeeze in all sorts of winter activities. From snowmobiling to skiing we did it all and it was so much fun. Here are some photos documenting our past 3 weekends.
Week 1: Skiing with my siblings
We had so much fun skiing with Andrew, Alisha, and Katrina. It's becoming an annual tradition and hopefully we can do it again next year. It was a bit stormy so I couldn't get any good skiing pictures, but here are some of the pre-skiing photos.
Week 2: Sleigh ride & Dinner for Two plus Snowmobiling
We won tickets for a "romantic" sleigh ride and dinner for two as well as a snowmobiling tour so we took the opportunity to spend the weekend in Park City. We loved getting away from home for a couple days to play. It was an awesome get-a-way.
Week 3: Skiing with Blake & Nellie
The season is about over, but we got a chance to spend the weekend with these two. Oh how we miss spending time with them! It was fun catching up and relaxing up in Park City. Hopefully we can do it again next year.
...and just for fun here are some videos from our last trip. The guys definitely had fun in the park with their tricks.

The Current State of Things
Just a quick note as I'm finishing up my daily computer fix. I was thinking about it today about how I spend 8 straight hours at work staring at a computer only to come home and spend several more hours doing the exact same thing. If only the days were longer and I didn't need my sleep. Then I might actually get to some of my projects like quilting and scrapbooking and who would think - cleaning my house. Oh how life is so busy when you're husband is in school, you're working full-time, and you have the outlook of medical school ahead of you.
Oh well. It's part of the adventure, right? I can't wait.

Happy Birthday to Me
Thanks to everyone who made my birthday special this week. It was so nice getting together with my family to celebrate over the weekend and Brennan treated me so special on the actual day. Thanks to my sisters for reminding me that I am now one year closer to being a quarter century old...I love you too.
It has been an extra special treat having my mom and dad in town as well. My mom hasn't even left yet, but when will you (Mom) be coming back? March? (probably too soon) How about April?

Isn't this so adorable! My sister made a Valentine Pocket for everyone filled with a meringue ice cream cone as well. We celebrated my birthday in conjunction with Valentine's Day so we were loaded with candies, chocolates, and sweets. What more can you ask for?

High Hopes, Low Expectations
Well don't get your expectations set too high. I realize it's a new year so I probably should have a greater resolve to improve my blogging presence, but there are no promises. I will try, however, to at least post something on here once a month. That will be an improvement from my poor behavior last year.
So in recap of this past month (and a little bit of December) let me fill you in on what we've been up to. I don't have pictures on my computer yet so I'll give you a brief outline.

December:
- Christmas week split between the Rigbys and the Petersons - It was a blast!
- New Years week skiing at Grand Targhee, Wyoming with the Rigbys and 40 inches of new snow.
- School started! Brennan's Line-up - Physics II, Genetics, Cell Bio, and Bowling
- Skiing.... of course :)
- Tammy's Wedding - Ok this one hasn't happened yet, but I'm excited to spend next weekend in San Diego celebrating the big day!!

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.
