Jonah Ch. 2

A couple of things:

Last Saturday, Erin and I were at the mall walking around the Gap, and who do you think we saw there? Derek Webb! I finally got up enough nerve to walk up to him and tell him how much I dig his music.... he was very approachable - seemed like a real down to Earth guy. He's got a new album coming out May 1st called: The Ringing Bell... I'm sure it's going to be amazing (www.derekwebb.com).

Today I had the opportunity to do something I haven't done for a couple of years...... I got to preach the message at church. I spoke on Jonah Ch 2. I'd been pretty nervous about it all week - but I think it went pretty well.....

The message will be posted online in a couple of days at the following link:

Erin starts her Pediatrics Rotation tomorrow morning and she's a bit nervous as well so she can definitely use your prayers.

That's all for now

He's got fluid

I saw that the Duncan's posted this month... so I felt like I should as well....

I guess there hasn't been much going on lately. I've been sick for a while. I went to the dr. three weeks ago or so and got some medicine.... then I felt OK for like a week, and I've been sick for like the last two weeks. Last night it was 83 deg in our house but I couldn't get warm... I had slippers and pants on, Erin wrapped me in lots of blankets but I was still shivering.... then when I finally fell asleep I woke up like an hour later in a pool of sweat.... not a lot of fun. Battlecat did me the honour of keeping my feet warm though - she's recently decided that our moving around should be no obstacle to her comfort on our bed.....

Last weekend Erin and I were in SLC for a very brief visit. I had the opportunity to teach part of one of my favorite classes at the U for work so that kept me busy. We also got to attend Jonathan Hays' ordination which was awesome.

Anyway - I really don't have much to blog about lately.... I suppose we have had some significant things happen..... Erin finished her Internal Medicine rotation, we went to the annual Charity Ball with her med school friends, and Erin has been on a two week break from rotations before she spends two weeks on dermatology and then she'll start her pediatrics rotation. Erin has been cleaning the house like a crazy person and she's been making me soup while I've been sick.

Erin and I have re-discovered the glory of Capri Suns - I'm enjoying Wild Cherry while Erin partakes of Strawberry-Kiwi. We've also been watching a lot of Scrubs re-runs.

Here's a picture of Erin and some of her med school friends (Marianne (U of U grad) and Luke (BYU grad)) preparing for a presentation they had to give.
