Sara's Response

Guess I am not a good story teller or something like that. I don't know what ppl find interesting. Christmas I got a cheese slicer(the wire kind like mother likes) 2 pairs of pj pants(they were trying to hint at something) and a check for 500 dollars because the boards I am taking this summer are about 1 grand. I got Kristen a pendant necklace with my birthstone in it, amythest. New Years I was actually awake we were at a friends of the Bonds played games and they talked while I slept. We just switched classes in primary. That was Sunday actually so it technically couldn't have gone in the last blog. We had the 7-8 year olds, now we have the 5 year old. And there are about a million of them(~10) in one class. But at least they are happy to be at church and like to be involved. The last class the boys were terrible, throwing tantrums about being in class and church. So disrespectful. I never did stuff like that when I was a kid. For our anniversary we made reservations at a nice hotel in Portland and spent the whole night .... Actually we went to a nice corner restaurant that was brasilian. Their tri-tip wasn't as good as rodizios in SLC but their top sirloin was probably the best I've ever had. As well as their grilled pineapple. They put cinnamon on top of it. It was delicious. 1.5 hours going there, 1.5 hours eating, 1.5 hours going back lol. The only downfall is that the next day we had to go back to Portland again for our flight back to Texas again the redeye flight. I swear if we ever do more flights like that, I'm getting the upgrade no matter what. Good food, I got Kristen to make a good gumbo for the missionaries yesterday. Only think that it was missing was shrimp(missionaries even said so; and if they said that it must be true) I am also wanting to try to figure out how to make a good cookie dough shake, haven't quite decided how to proceed. Also I had a wonderful cake batter yogurt. It was delightful. I am almost 29 not 30 so your a year off. I thought accountants could count. But I might have been mistaken. You know technically Aang is like Jesus because he has control of all 4 elements and keeps coming back to life. Kristen and I watched the new avatar series, waiting for the next one. Although sadly they don't come out with the new book for a bit yet. Poor Jacob too, if you say, "if you don't tell me what to get I won't get you anything" that is understandable you warned him. But simply asking you have anything SPECIFICALLY you want me to get you, is simply asking if I want anything in specific. Doesn't mean I don't want anything. I was broken hearted. But she made up for it by getting me hot fries and pomegranate and she made some cookies Sunday. We were supposed to have cookie dough shakes but after eating like 10 cookies I wasn't in the mood for more sweets. Bam look at this so much information, sometimes guys just need a little direction **Cough cough ****hint hint ;-)

OMS II

Back from Utah and Texas with all the craziness that they both entail. Just a heads up Hubble is huge. Guess that the dewormer is working because in the last 2 weeks, it seems that he has double in size it seems like. As well as getting super frisky. He no longer sleeps in my lap it seems after he goes and runs around everywhere. Sam finally got married, although if you are reading this, you probably went to it since ... yeah, if you read this and you aren't related to me with a double X chromosome let me know, I think that would be interesting. Andi's wedding was long but fun, he had a good time and didn't do too badly, although his wife can be a bit ... how should I say this: My way or the highway attitude. Reminds me of someone ;) Sam actually went to riodizio's with Seth last friday night and they didn't even invite me, and I was 15 miles away. So so so so stupid. I have degraded Sam's wedding present from something nice to titanium sporks. First day of class and so far I think I'm about caught up! I know first day and I'm rolling. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up until the end, with a test this monday, yes I know so soon, I don't want to get behind. Currently studying the endocrine system starting with the hypothalamus and pituitary areas. They've actually mixed things up a bit here, with a lot of pre-recorded lectures and independent study time. They are encouraging us to lynch, email, or call the professors for help as well as use the online boards. So anyway back in Utah, I went and visited Matt and his house for a bit. They got into MTG(Magic the Gathering). It reminded me of the fun that you get when you're single, have hobbies etc etc etc. I want to have hobbies too but we're super poor and anyway I don't have anyone to do hobbies with at the moment. Somehow I think that Kristen isn't the most interested in modeling or cards or anything like that. So I will wait and watch for my time till I get to the point that I unleash the full fury of my intelligence... I mean something else but oh well. Well class is over for the moment so I'll sign off now Zac

1 Year Done

Finally drawing to a close, at least for now. It was a bad weekend/week as Kristen watched me slowly go crazy until they posted final grades out for this last test. But all is well in Lebanon for now. Still getting ready to get ready for OMM rehabilitation so to speak. We'll see how that goes. Other news from Oregon, we lost our last game of soccer so basically we went 0-8 I think. But we were close some of the times, if our guys could learn to play a little more coop and less FIFA2012. I'm glad to have gone to the keeper position so at least now I always get some action. My group at the medical school have all gone their separate ways and so it's pretty lonely over here. I go to the school occasionally because I can and what else do I do really? Yeah we'll see. I do get some sun every now and then. On the high note bought Diablo 3 yes I know bad games so inappropriate. But at least Kristen said I had to wait till after school was done. It is done so I have it now. I play with friends I have. And Jacob, I've seen him on once or twice. Anywho not much more going on I think. I'll let you guys get back to what ever you guys are doing.
