Trip to St. George

So we have been down in Las Vegas for about 1 month now and I was getting very home sick. So the Graves family were passing through St George on their way down to Paige, AZ on Saturday. They invited us to meet up with them for lunch and to hang out. I was not going to pass up this oppurtunity. We met up and went to lunch at IN & OUT burger. Then we went looking for a movie, there was nothing good playing so we decided to go bowling. (Alex kicked our butts). After bowling it was about time to hit the road and head back to sun shiney Las Vegas. On our way home, in Mesquite we got stuck in a flash flood, this was the scariest thing in my life. In nevada they do not have any drains in the roads so all the water just sits on top. I was driving and I stopped in the middle of the freeway because I could not even see the front of my car. When the rain slowed down we decided to pull off the freeway and wait for the strom to pass. Since we were going to meet up with friends we had taken the camera (we didn't get any pictures of our friends but we did get some pictures of the flood.) Finally we made it home and I never want to be in a flash flood again.



Then on Tues. it was our 3 year wedding anniversary. It is crazy to think that we have been married for three years and oh how time flies. We really cannot even consider ourselves newleyweds any more. This year was very differnet than the past two. I have been very spoiled in the past and this year we weren't able to do much. Alex had a test the next day and plus medical school loans are not for anniversary's. So we went to the store and bought stuff for note cards, then went to Grand China (right down the street) got chinesse food to go. Came home, had dinner went on a walk and then made anatomy flash cards all night. Needless to say this is not the kind of anniversary that I am use to having, but it was great to have Alex at home and help him study. Even if it was just getting to make flash cards at least I got to spend time with him. I think that I am going to start to cherish the small amount of time that we do get to spend together because that time will be few and far between. Well it is getting late and I have to finish the anatomy of the arm flash cards for Alex.
