Oh the weather outside is frightful!!!

Derek had 3 tests to prepare for this week...
em>Here he is studying long hours in his office...he didn't want a picture so therefore he wouldn't look at me. I keep telling him that I need to document the tough times:)

Derek has successfully completed his first semester in medical school! So far he has checked off Human Anatomy, Nutrition, Histology and Biochemistry!Next semester he looks forward pharmacology, Human physiology and neurology. He has been learning osteopathic manipulation techniques and I love it when he practices on me. I can't wait until he learns how to manipulate my head to rid myself of the migrains that I often get:)
On friday,shortly after the test we celebrated with our circle of first year friends.

My all time favorite Christmas game, I never get tired of it. It is multiple presents wrapped inside of other presents. Each person must roll dice and get doubles in order to proceed to unwrap the present. A hat, scarf and gloves must be put on before you can open the present




Stewart missed the majority of the game, but somehow he managed to beat us all. Congrats Stewart!



It was great to get together and play games, eat great food and relax. Good thing the party started at noon because by 3pm a supposed snow storm was heading our way. I didn't think too much of it, just last week I walked in my flipflops,coatless to the library.Boy were we surprised when we stepped out the door the next morning. It had snowed 16 inches!





We had so much snow that there wasn't enough plows to go around.I had friends traveling home who were stuck overnight on the freeways and Church was also cancelled on Sunday due to the unplowed snow. I don't think I've ever experienced having to cancel church due to snow. For all you who live in Utah, appreciate the salt. Not only to we lack in snow plows but we also don't have salted grounds.


Skofeild loves the snow, he couldn't get enough of it.
