Birthday Celebration #1

Well, my birthday this year was quite eventful!! I had to work on my birthday- bummer, but before i left Rhett had this sitting on our bed. Notice the bow on top and by the way, YES- that is a quilt... this is how he wrapped my birthday present-- he said that it was too big to wrap!! I have to give him some credit for the creativity!!! He gave me the coolest ice cream maker! I am loving it, it doesn't take rock salt or anything and it makes ice cream in about a half hour! I LOVE ice cream, especially when it is 117 degrees out!

I got out of work early on my birthday and Rhett and I headed to SG to attend his parents homecoming. When we got there Rhett's sister and her husband were so excited to show me this cake that they had spent "ALL" Day making. It looked like a Doctor Suess cake-- I loved it!! It even had these cute little candles that were black and white stripes and black and white polka dots, they were so cute! Thanks guys!

You cant see but the frosting started to melt because it was so hot.. and so the cupcakes started to slide off the large cake in the center-- but it slid so perfect, i thought they had planned it that way--- thus making it look like a scene from "Oh the places we will go!"

Drama.... #????

SO... Sunday we got back from our wonderful trip to Utah--- pictures to come... and we discovered our air was broke. What a wonderful present after being gone for four days, and it was 110 degrees outside!! So at about 830 at night they apartment staff discovered we needed to get a hotel-- perfect, this was right after we had already unpacked all our items.

So we ended up here(see below) at about 930 at night, grabbed some Denny's and fell into bed! But today is Tuesday and the wonderful A/C man is here to replace our old unit-- and we will be good as new!! After two nights of sleepovers in different places and a 4 day vacation-- and ithink i have been about 30 hours in the car in the last week... i am so excited to sleep in my own bed TONIGHT!!!

Frei Return and 4th of July!!!

Well our July 4th.. was quite memorable this year. Rhetts parents came home from their 3 year mission in Brazil, or B-ville as we like to call it!! Sadly, poor Rhett had to work on the day that they arrived at the airport, so we missed that monumental Mormon event. We were pretty bummed- -but so goes the life of a medical student!!!

It was so good to see them, and even better to see them in the US of A!! We spent most of our trip car shopping for them and just hanging out with all of Rhett's siblings and also had several visits from neighbors.

On the Fourth we had a typical american BBQ-- complete with Salmon, corn on the cob and homemade ice cream!! Then we lit some fireworks in the front yard... Rhett and Jeremy were running around like pyro-maniacs' they were so excited while lighting all those fireworks. Here is a pic from the firework festivities!!

Rhett's Rotation...Car Drama...

Well, with white coat and Stethoscope in hand, the Rhett-ser started his first rotation!! He is officially on his way to being a REAL doctor!!

His first rotation is a little crazy the doctor works in like 3 or 4 or maybe 5 different offices. It is really hard to keep track of his schedule, sometimes my hubby comes home at 5 sometimes 4 or sometimes not until like 7 at night! Not to add to the fact that the rotation is about an hour away from our house... so that just adds to the long day factor...

So on the hubby's second day at work, Rhett was hanging out in his office(the doctors, no Rhett doesnt have an office) waiting for the doc. to finish a meeting when the office started to close up and all the nurses started going home and then one lady came in and said "Rhett the doctor wants you to go out to this hospital and see him." It is five o'clock and Rhett drives out to this other hospital and in the parking lot of the 2nd hosptial, this lady backs right into him!!!

Luckily he wasnt hurt, which was my first question when he called... and then asked him-- 'Well did she at least hit the back bumper?' Because our bumper has NEEDED to be replaced for a while, and we almost did it last summer-- but decided not just in case of such an incident as this!! So here is my beautiful green machine, all damaged and broken and not really driveable.... Sad....

I was little upset about the whole ordeal, it took us like two hours to drive it home from the hospital. Yes, i had to follow behind him for most of those two hours. Thank goodness we bought this little baby from some cute missionaries a few weeks ago-- totally spur of the moment i might add. It came in quite handy since we weren't able to get a rental car until today-- because of poor Rhett's work schedule and the hassle of trying to find someone to fix our car in this Huge-normous city of ours.

So hopefully, the rest of his rotation goes well... I think the only benefit of a rotation in Mesa is having Rhett bring home Cafe Rio like at least once a week!! Yum!!!

WICKED!!!!

So excited!!! One month until Rhett and I head to see WICKED!!! I can't wait!!!

SO EXCITED!!!!!!

Best of State

This past week Rhett and I flew up to SLC to see my parents win the Best of State Award!! It was so awesome because BOTH my parents won for BOTH of their business'. It was awesome.... Here is my my sis-n-law Kylee, my mom, and me at their awards banquet.

My parents after the banquet....

Here is The Rhettser and I and my Dad... We WERE taking a picture of the two of us, but my dad is such a jokester that he jumped right while we taking the picture, so i made him stay for a real photo op!!

Here is the fam... we are missing my brother Jayson, his wife and Aiden, and also my Bro. JorDan... they couldn't make it... But Rhett and I did travel to SG for a few days to see the rest of the fam. and poor Rhett locked himself in my moms house while he studied for boards!!!

Finals just finished up a few weeks ago... poor Rhett is feeling a little burnt out.. but he takes his last board on Saturday and I am so excited!! I think i am going to finally have a husband after two years of Medical School!! Good Luck, honey!!!

Good ole' Frank....

Help!! Somebody please Help!! My blog is being neglected... and i just cant bring myself to update it!!! I don't know what it is... I am not too busy to update it, seriously blogger is so easy that it is not like it takes time to write a quick post, that says, Hi, its me, were still alive and well, but for some reason i dread updating it!! It might be the lack of unexcitement Rhett and i have had this year... it might be that fact that i feel single with how much my husband has his nose in the books, it might that i am trying to catch up entirely on my scrapbooking so that i can have and excuse to go digital(yes i said (digital scrapbooking)and also eliminate the clutter that all my scrapbooking stuff seems to do, it is starting to drive me crazy!!! But on with it, i do not know why I haven't blogged... but here is a little bit of our life..........

A couple weeks ago my mom came to visit for a few days... and while i didn't get any pictures of the two of us... I never do... i got some pictures of this House we went to visit. It is in Scottsdale and it is the Frank Lloyd House.... It was a little pricey... and a little warm(a lot of the tour is outside), but the tour is an hour and a half, and it was amazing!! If you like stuff like this, you would love the architecture!! And i just love Franks Creative mind!! I mean seriously look at those angles!!! He LOVED triangles!!

Check out this theater room he made, purely for entertaining... It is a theater/dining room and he built it at HIS HOUSE!!! I could just die... maybe i could talk Rhett into one of these one day.... Maybe......

Look at those stairs and the pool(triangle)... I just loved it!!
They actually have an architecture school that is still there.. and the students must build there own house out on the land around the house, and they live in it while they are in school from the month of October to May-- and if you go in the early spring they will give you tours of the mini homes that the students built, they had a couple pictures of these homes, and i am definitely taking Rhett back in the fall to see those!!!



Well, that is all folks... c you soon!!!
