Happy Birthday!!!


So yesterday was my birthday...yeah for me!!!


Tyler got us reservations to a really nice place called The Melting Pot. It's a fondue restaurant and it was excellent! We had some carribean style cheese that they had apples, bread and fresh carrots and califlower to eat with it. Then we had our main course...we picked the mojo style of cooking and it tasted really really good! They have the fondue pot there at your table with the cheese in it at first. Then when you're done with that and your salads, they bring you the fondue pot with the flavored stuff if it to cook your meat and stuff in. The picture is of our main course before we started eating any of it. Boy was it good! You skewer a piece of food on your fondue fork and let it sit in the boiling liquid until it's done and then they have a billion different delicious dipping sauces for you to enjoy.


Then came the best part ever...the dessert. I of course went for the pure milk chocolate. I didn't need any fancy stuff (they had a limited time dessert called bananas foster or something like that so it was white chocolate with some banana stuff and caramel I think in it...) I just wanted the good ol' plain milk chocolate! And it was the best part of the night!!!! Strawberries, rice krispy treats and sponge cake! Oh it was sooo good!!!


Tyler is such a good hubby to me! I'm so glad I was able to share my 23rd birthday with such a wonderful man! Yeah to eternal marriage!!!!!!

It's been a long time coming

So I know it's been more than a month since I blogged but things have been kind of crazy here in sunny Tucson. I got through the last semester just fine (when I say last I mean the most recent one not that I've had the fortune of being done with school...) and onto my new job just fine.

I love working with the infants and toddlers at the hospital. It is such a fulfilling job!!!! My nurse preceptor is awesome and has taught me so many new things! Yeah Nicole!!!!

Tyler and I went to his brother's wedding up in Denver, Colorado. It was a very, very nice wedding there at the Denver Temple. It was also gorgeous temperature and scenery wise so I am jealous of that fact. I do like the winter weather here far too much though at the moment for us to move any where in the future to somewhere like Colorado because I don't think I would deal well with the coldness and snow! I know how to deal with the summer heat here so that's not a factor!

I learned how to to phlebotomy this week...for those of you who are not Ben, this means I now know how to draw blood!!!! So it's pretty fun and I'm pretty much awesome at it so no worries.

I cannot believe that it is past halfway thru June!!!! 2008 where have you gone?!?!?!?!?!?!? I still have so many projects that are not finished yet and I thought I would have more than plenty time to do them in this summer...sorry Tyler but it looks like they're not going to be getting done!!!!

I can't think of anything else to add...more updates later I guess when I actually have something interesting to say!
