Happenings as of late...

A lot has happened since my last post that I haven't blogged about yet.  Such as: we moved into a new apartment (pictures to come soon once we have the place a little more set up and decent looking) and had our first Easter together as a married couple.

Our celebration involved an already established tradition in our househould, FOOD as you can see.

We also celebrated Jake's birthday, which was another celebration that centered around good food: lasagna and spinach salad.

Last weekend we went to a semi-formal for the dental students.  It was fun to get dressed up, since I spend so  much of the time in sweats these days and enjoy good food (again) and a little dancing ;-).

Oh and here are some pictures of Jake and some dental school students with some of the kids they went to visit as part of the UB Smile Team.  Jake would make such a great Pediadontist!

From what I understand the dental students showed the kids how to put food in that parachute guy's mouth.

And then they put kids into pillowcases that looked like teeth.

Good times!

The Girls With Glasses

So, I came across this in blogworld about a new show coming out sometime soon probably...  I'm not quite sure exactly what it will be about, it it looks like it features pretty, intelligent (hence the glasses) women with cute clothes that talk about stuff.  I guess I can relate to that since I have worn glasses since the 4th grade, although I got LASIK a few years ago (hopefully getting LASIK and no longer needing to wear glasses hasn't done anything to my own intelligence level).  Have any of you heard of this show?

I am a stupid blogger...

So, to all of you that are more advanced bloggers than myself...whenever I am creating a new post I only know how to upload up to five pictures. Anytime I try to add more than five...I just can't. Nothing happens. Does anyone know why I might be having this problem and what I can do about it?

Spring Break

Yay! Jake got a spring break from school, so we went on a little much needed weekend trip to Washington D.C. It was really interesting to visit our nation's capital for the first time. We rode the train into town, walked around some of the monuments, visited some museums and ate some really great food at King Street. If you are planning on visiting Washington D.C sometime be sure to check it out!

On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. If we look a little tired, it's because we were!

This was part of the WWII monument. Utah will always have a special place in my heart.

Jake didn't know I could be so crafty...

Ever since Jake and I got our new furniture we have been in need of coasters in order to avoid those nasty glass rings. I have been totally insistent on MAKING things for our apartment and I discovered these guys here only I added my own twist to them. Here is the finished product.

Now the test will be to see our well decopouge holds up!
