I just wanted to post a little blurb about Tori. She will probably be mad that I put up these photos but I thought they were fun. I am so lucky to have her as my wife and I love sharing our lives together. She is always so happy and full of energy. She is truely one of a kind.
I was trying to figure out a way of posting our vacation without bragging too extremely. Unfortunately I'm too excited about my first trip to Hawaii to minimize anything. So, while I realize that many of you have been to Hawaii many times before so you can just roll your eyes as I go on and on. Firstly Hawaii did not live up to all of my expectations. It did not smell like flowers the minute you get off the plane. Other than that it exceeded anything I could have hoped for. The first week we went to Oahu with Kevin's family. It was lots of fun and surprisingly easy to be with his whole family. For a bunch of grown ups they were tons of fun. It gave me hope that I may never have to grow up. Kevin's dad was even brave enough to attempt snorkeling AND boogey boarding. And nobody Hulas quite like my brother in laws. We stayed at the LUXURIOUS Turtle Bay resort, went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and basically all over the island. Here are a few million pictures of Oahu.
After Kevin's family went home we stayed on and went to Kauai. This was less luxury and more adventure. When I say adventure I mean adventure. Kevin was even propositioned one night after flicking his headlights a few too many times (the full story only Kevin can do justice). Our other adventures were significantly more wholesome and enjoyable. We backpacked along the NaPali Coast (and ran into a bunch of hippies living back there growing their own). We climed to a waterfall and on the way found wild growing orange trees/mango trees/ ginger root/ jack fruit etc etc. It was beautiful and lots of fun. Later in our trip we went to Wiamea canyon which is gorgeous. We went snorkeling at Lydgate State Park and off our Catamaran the day we went along the coast. Too much fun to explain all the adventures we had. Here are a few million more pictures, this time of Kauai.
We went to Lake powell with my family a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time trying out the wave runners. We even went swimming out in the cold water. The only trouble we had was that it was extremely windy the entire time. Kevin and my Dad and brother Justin had a blast playing war games up in the hills with their airsoft guns. Hopefully next time we go we won't have to weather another cyclone but even so I'm sure we will be going back soon. 
On my anesthesia rotation. Loving it. Here are a couple of videos I found funny ( I fully realize they may only be funny to me because I am on this rotation right now).
