MHA Fishing Trip 09

This was our second year at the annual MHA fishing trip. We had a blast as always! The weekend was full of beach volleyball, lawn games, cheese curds at the "Wagon Wheel", bonfires, smores, socializing, people being wasted, entertainment from said wasted ones, golfing, eating, card games, watching football, mosquito bites, major humidity, frizzy hair thanks to said humidity, water kickball, and lots of laughing! We can't wait to go back next year!

MHA Halloween Party!

We spent Halloween night at a party with Justin's classmates from the MHA program.  We had a really fun time socializing and eating tons of food.  The night before Halloween Justin and I went to 2 goodwills, wal-mart, and target in search of something for costumes and left empty handed. We really didn't want to spend a lot of money so we decided to go with things we had, and I must admit we had some very put together costumes. We went as boy scouts! We each had hiking boots, long socks, shorts, and Justin is over the scouts in the ward so scout shirts too. Justin even wore a camel-back and had his leatherman on his belt and I wore a hiking pack full of all the essentials: tylenol, bobby pins, chapstick, the camera, etc... Everyone really loved Justins slick hairdo too. I think he got called an 11 year old boy 50 times! It was a very fun night.  As the night went on and the families with kiddies left to tuck them in their beds, we observed some beer-pong in the garage and I learned what a jello- shot looks like.  Not only is Halloween fun, but educational too!

The Annual MHA "Fishing" Trip!

The weekend of September 5-7 was the Annual MHA "Fishing Trip". I put the fishing part in quotes because no one fishes. It was a great opportunity to get to know Justin's classmates a lot better. We stayed in a cute little cabin right on the lake and we had a lot of fun using the paddle boats, playing beach volleyball, and sitting around the campfire as everyone got drunk(all the "MHA Mormons" excluded). We also learned a couple new games that are Awesome! We learned bocce ball(pronounced bochi) and cornhole. The games were a lot of fun, the company was fabulous, the food plentiful and the view stunning.

First Day of School

Justin is such a good sport and let me take a cheesy picture of him on his first day of school. I can't believe he is a graduate student and we are in Minneapolis! Today Justin started the Masters in Healthcare Administration program at the University of Minnesota. Justin, I am so proud of you! You are such a wonderful husband and I am so grateful you are such a hard worker and you are taking on a couple more years of school so we can have a great future. I love you!
