Catching Up

After three months of vacationing, visiting with family, living out of boxes and suitcases, and avoiding most forms of exercise, studying, and anything school/work related we are finally getting ready to jump back into adult life again. Scary, but also very exciting.

Anyways we still have some packing to do so here are just a few updates:

1. We graduated!!! I graduated with a degree in Public Health and Zac in Neuroscience. We did the cheesy walk with your spouse thing and though Zac needed some convincing that this was a good idea, we realized how nice it was to just have to attend one convocation ceremony (although I did have to give in to walking with the Neuroscience class). Zac also graduated top of his class and Summa Cum Laude!

2. We finalized our decision for med school and chose UT Southwestern in Dallas which means we will be Texans for at least the next four years. We will be leaving Utah on Thursday and taking a 16-footer Penske truck with us on the 19-hour drive to our new home.

3. After graduation we spent two weeks with Zac's parent's cruising through Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Croatia. It was pretty awesome. It was my first time in Europe and I thoroughly enjoyed the ruins, the art, the views, the people, the history, and especially the FOOD. A post on the food highlights of that trip is in the makings.

The blue topped homes in Mykonos were beautiful! 

This was the nicest beach ever in Corfu, Greece! We wished we had been prepared with our swim suits. The water was just clear for days

This pretty much summed up Zac's meal experience every night on the ship...at least three different drinks and two main course meals

The ruins in Ephesus were so well preserved! We are in front of their central library

Wind mills at Santorini 

Zac getting ready to race with his dad on the the race track of the first Olympics games in Olympia...although these two would have been disqualified on the grounds of pushing and shoving along the finish line

4. We visited my parents in Fort Worth to find an apartment and got ready for our move and found the perfect place for us in a town called Coppell. We also ended up with a second car thanks to a surprise graduation gift from my parents which will make commuting so much easier with Zac having to go into Dallas every day for school. 

5. When we came back to Utah we had so much fun attending Zac's sister's wedding and his family reunion at Bear Lake, Idaho.
