Halloween 2009

Jeff and I were Fred and Wilma Flintstone for Halloween! We had a keg party at Aaron's apartment (one of Jeff's friends from business school), we played Flip Cup and did keg stands, but we are feeling it today! Here are some pics. Dana's blog has better pics...she was there at the party, but I have no pictures of her!

On another note..Texas rocked it last night! And I love to watch USC lose!!

TEXAS FIGHT!

Today at work, out of the blue this morning, one of my patients says to me, "I think Texas is going to end up going to the Rose Bowl this year to play for the national championship against Florida". This was music to my ears on a bright and early Monday morning. For those of you who don't know I treat patients who have suffered from a neurological disease such as stroke, a brain injury, or a spinal cord injury. So this was great to hear!

Here is a link to our new website at work: www.rehab.ucla.edu ( I look pretty awful in these pics; you can tell I don't get ready for work!)

Jeff and I were in Dallas for the Texas/OU football game, it always makes for one of the most exciting football game of the year. We also got to see all of our Texas friends that we don't get to see very often. It sucks living in California where everyone LOVES USC, it makes me want to vomit! And if they are playing at the same time Texas is playing Jeff and I have to go to a bar to try to find the Texas game on TV. It sucks!

As you know the Longhorns pulled out a win! Thank you DEFENSE! Let's continue this trend with a little more offense next time, that would make us all feel better!

This Summer

I have been really slacking on this whole blog thing...but I have been really busy. On July 11th, my friend from PT school, Mysha got married to her long time boyfriend Jonathan. The wedding was in Stillwater, OK, so it was cool to see the OK State campus. It was VERY HOT, around 110 degrees that day, thankfully the wedding was inside. The wedding was beautiful and Mysha looked amazing.





In August, Lindsay and Jon got married in the best city in the world, Austin, Texas. This wedding was super emotional for me because it was a year after Jeff and I were married and she had some similar things that we had at our wedding. It just made me think of our wedding day and how amazing it was. They had the same band we had, Blind Date, and they were again AWESOME. No one left the dance floor that night! Lindsay was beautiful, and everything about their wedding was special. It was great being a part of it!

Life in the Fast Lane!

I am currently in one of the busiest summers of my life...well I guess last summer might have been busier. My next four weekends consist of the 4th with the fam in Weatherford, Mysha's wedding in Stillwater, OK, class in Dallas, and Vegas for Lindsay's bachelorette party. I love LAX! On top of all of this I am taking 3 classes for my doctorate of PT program. Who thought that would be a good idea? On the brighter side, Jeff and I are planning a trip to eastern Europe at the end of August with Hilary and Nick!

I was in Austin a couple of weeks ago. This is all I have to say Salt Lick, Maudie's, queso, Lake Travis, and Home Slice! MK~ I went to Salt Lick and swam in the potato salad, with the BBQ sauce of course.

This is how we do it in Texas!

All You Can Eat!

Everyone is probably jealous in Texas to know that last weekend I spent Saturday with my good friends Dana and Brady soaking up some rays on at Manhattan beach! It was only around 75 degrees!!! Yes, that is what I said...it does not even reach 80 here during the day. We are lucky if the temperature gets up to 75. The weather is wonderful! Can't wait to come back to Texas where I won't be able to breath.

Also just to add since everyone asks, I do work at the hospital MJ was pronounced dead at. But I did not see him. I did see the chaos outside of the hospital; the crowds, music, and news crews!

Weekend Fun

So this past weekend Jeff and I partied like we were 21 again with his friends from MBA school.  I drank entirely too much.  On Saturday we pre-partied for our friend Dave's birthday at our apartment and then went out to a local SM bar.  I was one of the only girls there, and I thought I should keep up drink for drink with boys.  So at 12:17am I texted my sister "I sometimes hate being the only girl and the drunkest person at the party"...whatever that means and so random.  Anyway we had a great time!

Memorial Day!

I wish I could post awesome pics of my fun memorial day weekend, however I spent Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at WORK!  Boo!!!  Unfortunately when you work in a hospital you have to be there occasionally on the weekend and sometimes on holidays...lucky for me I experienced both this time!   Anyway here are some photos of our new apartment (this is for you mom).

Welcome to the Blog World

So I guess it is now time for me to join the blog world!  I would have to say that Haddy's blog has inspired me to waste my time with something besides Facebook.  Now everyone can have an update on Jeff and I.  We are about to move out of our current apartment into a new, improved, and cheaper apartment....our landlord has decided to try to sell our 2 bed/2bath crappy apartment for a mere $575,000!  Crazy!!  That is what you get in California!  We are actually going to be 6 blocks from the beach, adding air conditioning and a heater, and a washer/dryer in the apartment.  It is amazing that these are now hot commodities!  We are really enjoying Santa Monica and Jeff is doing excellent in school.  We would really love more people to come visit us since we have an extra room.
