I must be crazy!

So far I have received 22 shots in the past 4 days. There has only been one day where my face got really sore though. Every night when I come home with a tingling face I wonder what I've got myself into. Oh well, all for the sake of learning right?

Anesthesia

So Far the Local Anesthesia course I'm taking is going really well. I think all those years of Jenga playing are paying off because I've found that I have quite a steady hand. Giving and getting injections is not as bad as I thought it would be,its actually kinda fun. The worst part is coming home numb every night. Good thing this is only for two weeks.

Mt. timpanogos

Saturday we hiked up to Timpanogos cave.



It was very cold in there!


This huge stalactite is called the heart of Mt. Timpanogos. It has a legend about it concerning an Native American maiden named Utahna. This is my Grandma's name. We discovered on this tour that this "legend" was written by a BYU professor in 1922 to try to help people gain interest in the caves. 1922 was the year my Grandma was born, so we are thinking this might be where her name came from.

What a great Face!

Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple

We were all able to go through the Uquirrh Mountain Temple. It is a very beautiful one. It was such a busy open house because it was the second to last day.

Me and Matt waiting to go inside.


Spencer told me that a few week before this, the angel Moroni was struck by lightning so half of it was black with soot. I bet they will get it cleaned up before the dedication.

Blast from the past.

We then headed back in time and walked with the dinosaurs. This park was really neat for kids who are into dinosaurs. My Nephews and niece had a blast, they knew all the dinosaur names!


Airforce Museum

On Thursday we went to the Hill Aerospace Museum in Ogden. There were tons of airforce planes. Brad would have really enjoyed this. I don't know much about planes but this was still pretty impressive.

Utah Trip

My parents were very nice to let me join in on their trip to Utah. We stayed with my brother and sister-in-law, Spencer and Emily, and I had a fun time hanging out with them and their kids.
We took a nice leisurely trip up there and stopped at this cave along the way.
It was needless to say a tourist trap, but we discovered that the man who runs it used to live in Tempe. My Dad can always find some connection with people where ever he goes.
