My world of Pre-Vet

I call my family on a regular basis to just chat. I talk to my mom and sister about everything, school, work, TJ, bills, cooking, anything and everything. My dad and brother on the other hand don't really care about that kind of stuff. So I talk to them about the stuff I think is cool! Well Brian has informed that I need to draw the line. He doesn't think some of these things are cool! My family has informed that I need to blog about these things because they find them so hilarious! So I have my weekly call to tell my dad and grandpa what I did in my Animal Health and Hygiene Lab. Last week we were doing physicals on dairy cows. All of you who know me, I am short, cows are big...thats a problem... you would think! They have invented a handy little stepping stool that allows short people like me to climb on up to examine the cows. After listening to them breath, checking their heartbeat, listen to gut noises it was time for the "rectal examine". Now my teacher was not specific in his directions at all. He gave us some brief pointers on how not hurt your shoulder while going deep into the back end of a cow and then turned us loose! So I grab my should length glove and some lube and pick my cow. I walked up to a shorter one and picked up her tail. I dove right in...I was feeling around for the any signs of uterus or cervix...feeling a bit lost I looked up at my teacher as he whispered "wrong hole"....I had gone into the wrong hole!! I was feeling around for the uterus in the cows rectum!!  To my entire family this was hilarious! I on the other hand was very very embarrassed!!  Don't fret I will be practicing next week!! Stay tuned for more of my pre-vet experiences.

Rascal Flatts and Jessica Simpson

 Thursday night we went to Rascal Flatts and Jessica Simpson. We didn't just go to the concert...we went with style! My dad did some work with the tour manager for Rascal Flatts. My dad and mom and Tj and I had front row tickets and Meet n' Greet passes.  We got to go backstage and meet Rascal Flatts before the show started and had our picture taken with them. Then we were lead to our seats and we just kept walking closer and closer to the stage. We were literally less than five feet from the stage. Definitely close enough to see if Jessica Simpson was really fat...and she is not! I wish my legs looked like that! I have always loved Rascal Flatts music but not a big fan of the band because they are a little pop star for me but they put on a great show! And who is to complain when you are that close!! It really was a great night! Thanks Dad the tickets were amazing!!

I have no idea how she walked in these shoes! 

Not fat right? She may be hiding it under the shirt but I was convinced!

Happy President's Day

After begging and persuading our way out of work for President's Day, we went to Heber for a long weekend.  We go there late late on friday after the longest work shift ever! But all was forgotten Saturday morning when we surprisingly got to sleep in! Instead of waking up at the break of dawn to catch the first tram at snowbird we decided to try a different kind of skiing. My parents and brothers have gotten in to cross country skiing, they wanted to get us in on their new obsession. I actually enjoyed the work out...it kicked my butt!!! TJ liked it but was on a different kind of ski that was A LOT more work. Obviously we didn't get pictures of that. ( I'm still new to blogging so the thought of a picture doesn't cross my mind.) I think we will stick to downhill skiing for a while.  Presidents Day the whole fam (minus my sister-in-law who drew baby sitting duty) went to Snow Basin for an awesome ski day! I have created a monster of a husband. He is no involved in our sick world of ski obsession. He begs every day to skip work and go skiing...Hey I am not complaining I just never thought I would have to say no to skiing! He has now skied a total of 5 days and is awesome!! Snow Basin was great! Tons of new snow and great terrain. TJ has not choice but to keep up because my family does not wait. He is now racing me down the hill....and coming close to winning :). Nothing is more fun then Family ski days and I am so excited the TJ is now there! We had a great weekend! Thanks Deb and Trace!

They started it all!

We are sooo Weird but I love them all!

The perfect Threesome! They do everything together!

Roller Skating

Our friday night in Logan consists of debating what we are going to do for most of the night until we watch a movie. But this weekend I talked TJ into going roller skating! I love good ole classic skating! So our friends Zac and Sarah and TJ and I went to Logan FunPark to go rollerskating and play arcades. It was quite entertaining to watch us roller skate...literally roller skating not roller blading roller skating! It is not as easy as it looks! Here are some pictures of our evening!

Tj ad I playing the basketball game....I lost...:(

We are so coordinated!

I might have been better then Tj

Our First House!

Our very first house...it has been a process putting everything together! We are a long ways away from finished but it is looking quite cute! I'm very proud of it.

Notice my apple green kitchen aide! Favorite wedding present!

 

Happy Holidays!

Our very first Christmas was different...It was way weird not being with my family for Christmas but this year we were with TJ's family and spent Christmas working! I drew the short straw and had to work on christmas. ( I work at a Vet clinic, and apparently dogs need their medicine and food on christmas too.) So we woke to a BLIZZARD! Walked dogs at 6 am drove down to farmington and spent Christmas morning with Tj's parents and little brother. The rest of his brothers came over for christmas breakfast and we spent the rest of the morning playing with Kyle's new toys. We sadly had to return to logan to walk the dogs. After the afternoon walk me and TJ hung out at our house watching movies . Then back to the clinic for a final walk in 18 inches of fresh snow...it was a bit cold. TJ did become a fan of some of the dogs. All in all it was a great holiday!! 

This is the evil Cat the tried to kill TJ and me!

Honeymoon!

So I know the wedding comes first but I don't have any pictures of that yet! We went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on our honeymoon and stayed at the Canto Del Sol Resort. It was fantastic! We laid on the beach and drank pina coladas for 5 days! What more can you ask for? We had a blast! It was kind of depressing coming home to the snow but good to get settled in our new house.

This would be where I spent most of my time, drinking pina coladas!

Out to dinner at the resort.

Laying on the beach watching the sunset...cheesy but so fun.
