testweek #1 down, many more to go

so the first set of exams of my four year dental school career are officially over. I hope i did well, but we'll find out once scores are given. It is nice to have them over with and to have a few days to recoup. I will be recouping in San Diego, where i don't have to cook a meal and will have people to talk to hahah :) I need to start being a bit more social :) Anyway, i'll be there and hopefully i do some fun stuffs... and if not, i'll be with my mommy and brother so it's ok.... maybe i'll go see Mario Lopez at the Borders in Eastlake.... hahaha.. but then i'll have to buy his kids book.... hm... decisions decisions... anyway, it feels good to be done with exams, however it doesn't feel good to know that there are many more ahead of me... and some that will be a trillion times more stressful... so that was my week... ... Don't forget to wish my Tommy a happy birthday this sunday.... Yay for him being born! haha. ok the end!

so busy...

so it's been a while since I've posted on here. I've been pretty busy with school stuff... and when i'm not busy... i'm sleepy hahaha. always something :) anyway, not much has happened on my end. just school and school work. I've had the chance to drill out plastic teeth and fill them back up with gray wax. they look pretty ok. not perfect, but they will do. I'm excited for when i get to actually drill out a cavity... that will be a scary yet awesome day!

anyway tommy has been down to visit and I have flown up to visit. The past few times he has come down we have gone to go see my mom.... i don't think we will be able to do that next time since midterms will be the next week.

so on a random note, tommy and i have decided what we will be for Halloween... he is going to be Nightwing... and i'm going to be Huntress.... hopefully the stuff for our costumes come in on time. anyway here are pictures of what the costumes might look like. you can probably guess who is who....

i know, we are nerds... haha but i'm ok with that.... anyway, i'm off to do more school work... yay for learning!

bienvenidos a Los Angeles

So we've made the move... well kinda... haha we've half moved to los angeles. I am starting dental school at the university of southern california while Tommy is back in utah finishing up his degree at the U. It's tough, but with the help of modern technology the time apart doesn't seem so bad. i love web cams and being able to see my love every night :D it's good times.

so anyway, i live in a studio apartment... and it is actually quite spacious. once we got it all organized, it kinda feels cozy. It works for what it is :) any who, here are some pictures....

here is my bedroom/office... you can see billy and dwight chillaxin on the bed/couch

this is my slightly messy living room/bedroom/office

notice that emperor's new groove is playing on the TV....

and this is my kitchen/dinning area.. nice and cozy.

yea so that is basically my home for the next year and Tommy's home every other weekend... unless we go down to my mommy's house.. which has been happening alot.... but anyway it took us like two weeks to get everything together in the apartment cuz we were down in san diego alot. The weekend before orientation started we had my cousin's wedding to go to in El Centro... so cute! they both looked so happy!

so the next week was orientation... it was a lot of fun, i met a lot of new people and felt different than 95% of the people around me. haha its fun times. anyway at the end of last week we had a white coat ceremony where we all got out white coats.... and here is mine before the ceremony....

it says USC school of dentistry, century club, incoming class of 2009

they had a nice little presentation and then had us put our coats on and read an oath... woo hoo and here i am after with my mommy......

say hello to doctor and doctor... haha well will be doctor and is a doctor :P

so that's been life. this week was more of an orientation to what school will be like. I like the problem based learning cuz that's how i have always learned best was looking up an answer and applying it. anyway... i'm off to pay attention to my hubby bubby and read some learning needs packets.... LOVE YA MISS YA!!!

24 and 9 years

so yesterday was my 24th birthday... wierd i'm 24... and i feel like i'm still 18 years old. Tommy took me horseback riding. It was a great experience, we saw great views of Park City and of the mountains. The horse i got was a little bit of a delinquent, but that's what happens when you get a Mustang and you, yourself are not very confident. Anyway, it was fun, and below, on the last post, tommy posted a picture of the horses we rode and us on them.... i look super obese... but that is what happens when you have someone with legs of a thoroughbred on a thuroughbred horse hahah :P. Actually i don't think that 's what mustangs are... maybe... i dunno. anyway it was great! then there was dinner at a nice restaurant in park city with Corey and Liz. It was pretty expensive but that was fun too... the company was great, and the food was delicious!

So that was yesterday, today, is nine years since my daddy passed away... all i can think is HOLY CRAP nine years... that means next year it will have been a decade since he passed. I can't believe it's been that long. I have definantly learned and grown alot. No matter how long it's been though, i will still miss him. I always will and i am sad that my husband and my future kids will not meet him in this life. I am, however, very grateful for Eternal Families. Knowing that i will be able to see my father again someday makes me so excited and happy. Man i love knowing what i know, i just wish i wasn't such a coward and was brave enough to share it with others.

Anyway, thanks for reading. i hope you found this enlightening haha :P ok... love you.. bye!

Loving the visits

So my mommy and my brother were up this past weekend and we, tommy and I were able to spend time with them and with my sister and Bart. It was an awesome weekend. we went to the Oquirrh temple open house on Friday. That was awesome. You can totally see where the angel Moroni was struck with lightning.. tee hee. The inside is amazing also, it is so beautiful and makes me so greatful for temples and the oridances we can do on this earth because we have them. Here is a picture of me, my sister, and my mommy out in front-ish of it :P

Then Saturday, early morning Tommy, my mom, and i went up to Weber state to pick my brother up from EFY. We met my sister and Bart for breakfast at their apartment, the girls went shopping and the boys went shooting, then we went for lunch to Ruth's Diner. It was a great lunch, everyone agreed. I ate too much so the next few pics aren't all that flattering of me haha, but hey it's cool. We were outside the Ruth's and just taking pictures of immigration canyon.

I don't know what Tommy found, but it was cool enough to keep his attention :) I'm not sure what any of us are doing.

Here is the Razo clan :P I really couldn't have asked for a better family to be born in :P

Anyway, after that we went to try and find the graves of prophets but only found Bringham Young's. Then we went back to My sister and Bart's apartment to have Ice cream cake to celebrate my 24th birthday, even though it isn't until the 20th. I love Cold Stone ice cream cake... it is the best ever! I'd post pictures, but i don't like any of the ones i have... haha oh wait here is one of me digging in! yum!

Anyway, it was a great weekend with a lot of laughs and smiles. plus lots of food. I am really excited for the move back to California because i will be closer to my mommy and brother, even though my brother only has two more years of high school left, and who knows where he will end up. I'll definantly miss my in-laws though, hopefully we can visit them alot... anyway, this is all talk for a future entry. BYE!

la di dah

HI!!

just wanted to say hello, and see how this whole thing works. Tommy and I are enjoying our times together until dental school starts. We have about a month until we make the trek to LA... it's so wierd. i thought i would be ready, but right now i feel so insecure and nervous. I don't want to fail and i want to make my tommy proud.... no midnight sob calls..... hopefully. Haha, i'll just have to immerse myself in my school work so that our weekend conjugal visits come quickly.... HAHAHAHA!! bad... :P anywho... i don't know if anyone will see this, but if you do, welcome to the page of many emotions... probably mainly self-pitty and annoyance :P ENJOY
