the circus is in town

spence and i met up with some medschool friends this weekend and one kid use to ride a unicycle so he brought it over to show everyone and of course spence wanted to try. I new this could get ugly but that spence wouldn't rest until he mastered the unicylce! so he did it, but next time i think he will wear shoes and not just chacos.! and of course i wasn't even temped to try...he is wild and crazy and i'm always cautious and prefer to have both feet on the ground as much as possible.

still got it!!

so spence signed us up for a 4-0n-4 volleyball team with his school and some of his friends, i'm lucky enough to be the only girl on the team so i was a little nervous at first but...we had our first game on saturday and we rocked it!!! i love playing volleyball especially with spence because that is how we first met and it always brings back the memories!! needless to saw spence still has it all!!!

a bit of AZ

So i went for a little hike today and took some pictures to show everyone (that hasn't made the 45min drive to AZ to see us) what AZ really looks like.. well i don't know if these pictures will seal the deal. but here ya have it. if you look really close i think you can see our house :) yep its a big dry desert but a munch of people live here. the view was great and the sun was hot. don't worry i didn't see any wildlife. thank goodness. so what do you think about AZ

hows your gait?

On saturday spence, all med schools students, and I volunteerd at the special olympics here in surprise AZ. we were located at the swim meet, and i have to say a couple of the athletes really could have taken me for a race...they were pretty impressive. It was pretty interesting especially because i was the only non-med school student there. (origanally several wives said they would be there too) i was able to be spence's right had help and scribe as he evaluated the athletes. (we can't decide what is worse helping with vaginally exams all day or feet? either way its got its set backs, spence and i talked about that for awhile and i think its a tie) anyways he was there with his clinical professor Dr. jenkins and evaluate atheltes feet for: corns, calluses, athletes feet, warts, and more, they also watched peoples gait (heather you know what that is) to evaluate for: pronation, supination, and other cool words i can't remember. It was pretty interesting and the best part was Dr. Jenkins had the group circle around as he evaluated a foot and asked a specific question on what would be best to treat this particular candidate. (I felt like i was on greys anatomy and the head dr was looking for one bright and shinning student to know the answer) the group was silent...and then....spence came through with the correct answer! i wanted to shout horrah! but they don't do that. anyways you probably had to be there but it was pretty interesting to see the guys using their knowledge already, i am so proud of spence.
