Kevin

We had a little BBQ this week in honor of Kev. Kevin is a wonder man and an amazing husband. I am so incredibly fortunate to be married to him. I secretly hope he never realizes what a better end of the deal I am getting. Without him I wouldn’t eat, sleep, pay the bills, or get intractable hiccups from laughing too hard. Kev is funny, smart, handsome, and unbelievably selfless. Recently he was featured in another blog for his rare ability to make everyone comfortable and happy. Kevin is always so happy and his enthusiasm for life is unparalleled. I know you're all jealous but feel free to post some of your favorite memories about Kev if you have time.

Camping

YEAHHHHH I finished third year, which really doesn't mean anything except a two week break to get my residency application stuff together. But it also means that I got to go camping with my family this last weekend. We had a great time just being ourselves. It was so much fun sitting by the campfire listening to music and singing along at the top of our lungs. We floated down the snake below the dam on an interesting barge/raft combo. We actually hooked a pool floater thing to the real river raft. Kevin, my dad and brother were all on the raft paddling and fishing. My mom and sister and I simply floated and sunbathed on the raft. We got to play in my favorite waterfall. We then went to Jackson to check out some of the awesome nature photography. We spent one afternoon on the waverunners with pull tubes (so much fun). Anyway a fun fun weekend. The only downside no fireworks, hopefully we can fix that for the fourth. Oh and I forgot to mention that we had two moose walk through camp and then eat in the marsh next to camp.

Happy Birthday to me

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone, especially Jen, for such an awesome birthday. I went shopping all day (sweet) then we went to dinner with friends and saw Indianna Jones and the crystal skull. Now to be honest while dinner was fantastic, the movie was.. well it lived up to the reviews it received. Nonetheless it was a great birthday.

I love this girl

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.

Backpacking... kinda

Kevin, my dad, and brother bought new backpacking materials and were all excited to try them out. However, they didn't want the first time they used their water purifiers etc. to be on a week long backpacking trip so they planned a trial run this weekend. Friday afternoon we ( I happened to escape the hospital and tag along too) went up Willard Creek to a couple of fun waterfalls. It was a bit more of an adventure than we planned as the creek was flowing at a good rate. There were some exciting river crossings and plenty of hot chocolate.

All in all, it was lots of fun and my legs aren't nearly as sore today as I was secretly hoping they would be.
