so what do we do all day?!...when we first got married i was in school full-time and working part-time at a rheumatology office, and david was working full-time at stock building supply, delivering building materials to construction sites. i got burned out and we decided i would start working full-time at the rheumatology office and david would go back to school full-time and not work. after about 6 months of that we realized we needed more income, so i picked up a second, part-time job working the night and weekend after-hours clinics at a pediatric office. then david got a part-time job as a pre-loader at ups--the am shift (from 4-8am...christmastime it was 1-930am...). then over the summer he decided to pick up a full-time job bookkeeping for an electrician, in addition to his 3am call. after seeing each other once every 3 days we decided we needed to make some changes. so david took a semester off and started driving full-time for ups (did you know they can order short shorts, long shorts, and then mormon-length shorts?!), and i quit my full-time job, kept my part-time job, and went back to school full-time. so right now david is driving full-time and enrolled in university of phoenix online, completing his bs in accounting. i am in school full-time getting my bs in community health and working part-time at the pediatric office. we are both getting straight a's so far. david would eventually like to get either an mba with an emphasis in accounting, or an mpa with an emphasis in hospital administration, and i would eventually like to complete a 2-yr pa program.
so when we aren't working our little brains out, we go camping, hiking, biking...we like being outdoors with each other. we try to pick up one "new hobby" per year, to keep life interesting. last year i decided to pick up triathlons (swim, bike, run)! i did two "mini" tris--one in kanab, and one here in orem, the share-a-smile triathlon. the usual tri distance is 800-meter swim, 20-mile bike, and 10k run. the sprint distance (these mini-tris) is exactly half of that--400meter swim, 10mi bike, and 5k run. at kanab i actually placed 3rd for my age group, finishing in 1hr20mins, and in orem i placed 5th, finishing 1hr3mins. david and i are going to do the share-a-smile tri together this year, and my goal is to finish "sub-60"--under 60mins.
we are also bookworms and somewhat nerdy, so scrabble is a fav past-time. on our best board we both scored over 340. at our first apt we had a little "neighborhood garden"--we had everything from canteloupe and honey dew to zucchini, tomatoes, and peppers. we were very proud of our little garden and boy was it big and green! we sadly left it behind when we moved.
