Highlights From AZ
Right from the start I met awesome friends! Here's us at our White Coat Ceremony.
One of our many celebrations after big exams!
Girls movie night
I bribed Elizabeth to come visit with tanning by the pool and frozen yogurt. We stopped in Vegas on the way down at Serendipity to get desert. Biggest sundaes I have ever seen....we were so sick.
Tubing down the Salt River:
This is a once in a life time, if you are lucky, experience. Unless you enjoy getting soggy wet jumbo marshmallows thrown at you and a hot plastic tube burning your tushee every time your sheet moves a little. I have to admit the short duration of fast moving "rapids" was pretty fun.

Kris came to visit for the 4th of July
One of many fundraising events but probably the most fun after dodgeball of course.
Go UnderDogs! Can I just say, this team rocked at kickball. 
Another milestone, Pining Ceremony with our BFF couple! We will miss them so much when we move!
One of our favorite pass times was social softball league with good friends. It was so fun to be outside after a long day of class. Pictured is the result of Jon being a "bit crazy" sliding into home base.
Our FAVORITE sushi place EVER! Sakana Sushi. We ate here more times than should be mentioned. I walked in the door and the manager would yell, "Supershrimp!" This was the name of the roll I always ordered. Thanks to Tujague for introducing us to this place :) 
Jon and I decide to do the trip from PHX to UT in one go. We thought with good ole OnStar we'd have no problem. Well, apparently if you get out in the middle of NO WHERE OnStar sometimes has trouble locating you. So....Jon and I used our trusty iphones to take us where we needed to go. We didn't know that the iphone map would direct us onto a dirt road trail to get to our destination.
We literally could not have made this drive if it had been raining, it would have been dangerous. Narrow roads up through the mountains with a very steep, very high drop off.
I finally got Bette and Waino to make the long drive down to AZ to come visit me! We went for a hike up in the Superstition Mountains, we read about different plants and dared each other to touch the cacti.
After hiking we had quite an appetite so we stop in at Joe's Farm Grill (which was featured on Food Networks Diners Drive-ins and Dives) and has amazing onion rings.
Then we topped it off with cupcakes from The Coffee Shop (which won Cupcake Wars on the Food Network in 2010). Lemon for Bette, Pina Colada for Kris and Red Velvet for Me! Yum!
My mom also came to visit but we were way to busy to take pictures. We did lots of shopping and played volleyball with a bunch of my friends. For those of you who don't know, my Mom is an awesome volleyball player from back in the day she tore it up in high school. So, Mom goes in for a one handed bump the ball goes flying under the net and hit my buddy Chet right in the baby maker! Everyone dropped to the ground laughing so hard..... I almost peed my pants. Mom made it up to him by ordering pizza for everyone. I was a good time.
Grandma Brock and Christiane also came to visit. We spent most of our time by the pool and in the club house playing pool. You know I couldn't let Grandma leave with out shooting a little pool. Christiane, who is growing up way to fast, enjoyed tanning on a float in the hot tub....go figure.
We new it was going to be an adventure when we saw this road sign and asphalt became dirt road.

Finally!! Way to wrap it up all in one big post. I have been waiting to see the dirt road pictures for a long time. And for heaven's sake would someone please buy Elizabeth some clothes.
