Took an afternoon to drive through Snow Canyon State Park



It was nice to be so lazy and relax as a little family.

Missouri Trip



Some highlights from our trip to Missouri for graduation:
We got to Kirksville and went to see our old house.
The shack.

Seeing this old farmhouse brought back many memories.
Like the dead deer and how we diagnosed its cause of death.
Rhett's battle with the Rotting ground hogs.
Being Official White Trash which led to Our Lawn Mullet
We noticed the whole house has peeling paint and looks pretty bad, except where we remodeled the bathroom and it looks great:

There were good memories in this house, but I was elated when we moved because the bank came to possess it because the landlord lost it in foreclosure and never told us

Our next stop in Kirksville probably won't surprise many of you.
I HAD to see the latest display at Aerocare.
You remember the Summer time Creepy Store Window
When I left Aerocare had gotten lazy on me and I was disappointed.
But this time, it was...
pretty good.
It's the creepiest at night with the overhead lighting.  I had good intentions to return at night, but I didn't bring my tri-pod on the trip, and it was busy.
If you can't tell, the mannequin is wearing crazy pajamas staring at the ceiling with a bi-pap mask on.  I was impressed at the matching sham and quilt however.
Only at night would this fulfill its potential.

Next on the list, we took Rhett's parents past the hospital.  Northeast Regional Medical Center.
Where RJ was born and I worked nights in the ICU.
I liked the hospital better than my former job at Home Depot, but there were some bad shifts.  Like the night I had to babysit the naked crazy, spitting, man doing monster crunches 

After we settled in, I was able to visit Katherine with Natalie and meet her sweet baby.

Later we were able to meet up with a lot of other friends at the dinner for the spouses.  This was the only photo I got the whole night though!

We had a day to kill and made the trip to Nauvoo and Carthage:

Our 12-year-old nephew came and it was great to have someone to play with RJ and help out.  He'd never been to Nauvoo.

(that is me by the way, not a 12 year old boy I know the "dude haircut" can make you wonder)


The last highlight isn't that great, mainly I thought this was a cute photo.
(this is the nephew this time)
Just hanging out and watching a movie in our room at the Super 8--which is offering romance packages right now if you're in the area.  Their sign on the road advertised it, but I didn't get a good photo.

So goodbye to Kirksville, I can't think of any reasons I'd ever be there again.

Graduation


It's over!
Medical School is officially over!
Rhett is now Dr. Crapo.
We're proud of his hard work.
Rhett with his parents
Rhett with his son who found the photos an annoying interruption to his stick gathering
Congratulations to the rest of ATSU/ KCOM graduating class of 2010!

May UPdate

We've been busy lately making/ re-modeling junk furniture to furnish our house when we move.  Rhett made me this side table for our living room, and we made a console table together, and we have a few more things to make.


Rhett's been trying to fish as much as possible in between.

Getting ready for Graduation.

Finishing paperwork on our new house in Idaho.

Wishing it would stop snowing.
