Kimball's Blessing

Sam and I were fortunate to be able to fly to San Antonio over the 4th of July to meet our new little niece Kimball and attend her baby blessing. She is such a cutie! It was also nice to be able to see my parents, my sister Ashley, her husband Kevin, and Kevin's family. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality Ash and Kev! We had a great time!

Daniel's Visit/ Cedar Point

We were so excited to have Sam's little brother Daniel come out and visit us this past week! We had a blast and were glad we got to spend some time with him! Yesterday we went to Cedar Point to break Daniel into the Sandusky culture. It was a ton of fun!!!

Our Cedar Point Adventure started here... discount tickets!

Fun in Columbus

This weekend I went down to Columbus to visit Sam so we could attend the temple and I could see where Sam is currently doing a neurosurgery rotation. We had a fabulous time! Here are some pictures from our adventure:

First Anniversary

Wow! Can you believe it has been a year?!? For our first anniversary I "kidnapped" Sam for the weekend and took him to a bed and breakfast in Niagara Falls. We had a fabulous time and even got to cross the border and spend some time in Canada! Here are some pictures of our little excursion:

Apartment Complex Fire

The week before Thanksgiving our apartment building caught on fire. We lived out of a hotel for about a week and we were then notified that our building was now condemned and that we would need to move to another apartment complex before the Thanksgiving holiday. Sam and I were so thankful for the help of our ward members and other medical school students who helped us in the move! They had us packed and moved within 2.5 hours on the day before Thanksgiving. We were amazed by all of the help and were so thankful for all of the sacrifices people made to help us in our time of need. We are truly blessed! The following are pictures of the fire aftermath.
