Life keeps marching on!

A lot has happened since I last posted!

Brett took the MCAT and did super amazing. He applied to 15 medical schools and got invitations for second applications from most of them. Right now we are waiting to hear from schools about interviews and crossing our fingers that he'll get a few. He recently started his last year at BYU, which also means the start of our last year in Provo!  We are so excited to see where medical school takes us.

After graduating in June, I got a job as a Diet Tech in a hospital in Murray. Then about 2 months later I got a job as a diet tech at the Utah Developmental Center in American Fork Utah, I took it because among other benefits it took about an hour out of my commute every day. The job is turning out to be a fantastic opportunity for me, I'm learning a lot and doing what I love! I'll be applying to Dietetic internships in February.

We've had a lot of fun in the past few months, it has been a great summer for us.

We enjoyed our first crop from our very first garden, here is a sample of the great veggies that we got:



We had the great opportunity of attending several weddings this summer! It's always fun to see friends and loved ones find the love of their lives.

We've down quite a bit of hiking this summer, we made a trip to Zion National Park with our friends McKenzie and Nate and Cecily and Jared. We went hiking and repelling, I don't have any pictures but it was beautiful and amazing!

We hiked Mount Timpanogous a few weeks ago with our friends Nate and McKenzie Cerny. It was our first time and it was amazing and a little scary at the top. It was really scary on the way down and a little life threatening. The glacier behind me is the one we slid down on the back of the mountain. If the top looks steep to you, thats because it is, it was about a 20 foot drop before the snow started leveling out.













I discovered the joy of making trifle and decorating cakes and I'm planning on taking a cake decorating class in October! I'm so excited!








We're still loving our pet rats. We now have three of them. They are so much fun and keep us busy in our spare time.

This past weekend Brett and I went to the Ringling Brothers Circus, the show was called Fully Charged. Neither of us had ever been to the circus and we were a little doubtful at the beginning but it ended up being a fun experience! There were trapeze artists, lions, elephants, horses, zebras and clowns. They even shot a man out of a cannon. It was hard to get any pictures in there because it was so dark.











That same day we went to the circus I went to see Mary Poppins with my mom and two of my sisters. It was fantastic. We loved the set and the creative stage magic.
