A little bit from Italy

Right now I am supposed to be studying for my GRE, but I wanted to get some pictures up here from our Italy trip. These are from our point and shoot camera which is not used nearly as much as our DSLR. You can also check out this site for our instagram pictures.

Once the GRE is over then I will be going through our DSLR pictures, but that won't be until December so here are some to hold you over!

Leaving for Rome!

The Colosseum

The Roman Forum

The Roman Pantheon

Piazza Navona - my favorite one in Rome

The Sistine Chapel

On top of St. Peters Basilica - behind us is St. Peter's square

Galleria Borghese - great little museum, one of my favorites we have ever visited

Castel Sant'Angelo

National Modern Art Gallery - not a great museum

Florence

Piazza della Signoria - we spent a good chunk of time with headphones listening to audio tours

Ponte Vecchio

Piazza del Duomo

Chianti region Vespa Tour

View of Florence from the top of the Duomo. Behind us is Giotto's Belltower

We had an amazing time. We did a lot more than these pictures, but I hope you enjoy these. We also have a lot of video footage that maybe Tyler will work on while we're housebound studying for the GRE. Check out the instagram pictures here also because I think they're fun.

American Heart Association

Hey everyone!

This coming September the American Heart Association will be raising money for Heart Disease

As many of you know I am a cardiovascular registered nurse at a hospital in Dallas and we are raising money for American Heart Association. You might remember last year when we walked for them with the doggies.

I wanted to ask for your support in donating as much as you can to this cause. Heart disease is the number one killer in the US

Click on the link here to donate! Any amount is appreciated

Thank you so much!

In the last 6 months

Hello everyone!

So what have we been up to in the last six months?

School, School, and more school. I'm halfway done with my Bachelors in Nursing. And because I'm a glutton for punishment I am registered to take the GRE in November with hopes to attend Nurse Practitioner School next Summer/Fall

However life is still somewhat fun

We've been to the theater a few times. So far we've seen: Evita, Wicked, Josh Groban, Guys and Dolls, and 9 to 5











Went to Florida for my 26th birthday
































Went to Utah for a missionary farewell

Celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary



Had escapades around Dallas to the arboretum, The Modern, and the Kimbell art museum












































In the next few months we will be heading to Italy, going to the theater some more, attempting to visit Dallas while avoiding the miserable heat (can you say over 100 degrees for the last 35 days?), studying really hard and doing graduate school applications, house remodeling, and keeping our heads above water

So meet you here in another 6 months? Ok then!
