PhOeNiX

Well interview season has officially started and we kicked it off in phoenix with Kev's family. His sister and her family were AwESomE and let us stay with them for a few days. This made it easier on us -AKA free AND tons of fun. But it was also much more fun for Kevin while I was gone at the interview he had someone cool to hang out with. So he went shopping with his sis, swimming with the nieces and nephews, and became shockingly proficient at Guitar Hero. My first interview was at Maricopa county. I had never been to a "county" hospital before. I didn't know that county meant ghetto. It was kinda cool though because the residents all get to do tons of cool procedures. Also, I got to see tons of the famous maricopa prisoners with their striped jumpsuits and pink underwear (the ones that live in the tent city). Anyway that was pretty sweet. Here's a picture of me flashing what I think might be a gang sign outside of Maricopa, Yo.

The next interview was at St. Josephs in Phoenix. It was significantly more posh. They had a concierge for the residents and vallet parking at the hospital. They also had subsidised housing for the residents right next to the hospital. Either one would be great because we'd be close to Kev's sis and my extended family. We would love to live near his sis because 1) she is super cool, 2) her family is super cool, 3) she has a swimming pool and guitar hero - I'm not gonna lie those are our priorities.

Here are some pictures of Kev's sis's be-otchin crib. (just practicing the lingo in case I end up at maricopa). Yes that is a signature Kevin meal of Ribs, corn, scewers and probably 5 different desserts. What you may not have noticed is the pool with the waterfall and slide AND hottub in the background.

Silver Lake

We went with friends for a walk around Silver Lake the day before the snow fell and it was great. I had so much fun because my family used to have a cabin up big cottonwood. To get rid of us when we were little my Grandma would send me and my cousins for a walk down to the store to buy penny candies (yes they actually had them back then) and then we would go for the hikes in the area. It was fun to relive those silly childhood memories. Like the time we got trapped in by two bull moose fighting for territory, or the time I nearly killed myself trying to walk out on the half frozen lake/death trap. Some of my best memories are when Kev and I were first dating and we spent a few days up there wih my family. Sigh.

FAIL (G-rated)

My appologies for the original fail post. I accidentally posted to the blog which has some funny stuff but also has some less appropriate stuff. Here are a few of our favorites from the site.. This first one is the one that Kevin got laughing on the trax train (alone) and couldn't stop. The second one is why we found the blog, and the third one is just sad, in an awesome don't succumb to peer pressure sort of way.
