Last but not least

We got in to UCLA! ...which was the last school to hear back from. Now it's decision time! Please help us by participating in our poll.

Rex Lee Run

It's the middle of March and you know what that means: time for the Rex Lee Run! This was our fourth consecutive year completing the run.

Getting ready at the start. We told our body guard (standing alert at top left) that we'd be okay by ourselves, but he came along anyway.

Time chips are a must these days. After four runs (3x10k and 1x5k), we've run 70 kilometers to cure cancer together. That's almost two marathons.

Dr. Simmons, Austin's research mentor, is also the director of the BYU Cancer Research Center so he is in charge of the run. Don't worry, he's using that gesture to direct people at the start line.


A very flattering picture of us about mile 3.
This year wasn't as warm as others- about 29 degrees at the start.

Nearing the end!


DLS rocks the mic as you come into the finish.

Together for a cure <3

I think it's spring!

We'll...at least I hope its spring. We've had a pretty "warm" past couple weeks. It only snowed once and then melted the next day.

More proof that it's spring...TULIPS!

Weekend with Greg and Bri!

Friday night we hung out with Greg and Brianna...went to Olive Garden and played Rook. We taught them the official "Robinson rules" and they love it! Quote from Greg: "Rook is my favorite game!" There won't be too many more times we can do this since we'll be leaving Utah in a couple months.

We tried some Calamari, which had Austin acting a little strange

Greg and Bri being cool like always

Look out Christian and Katie, we've got new Rook buddies! Same old story though-- Greg and Brianna always beat us too. It's pretty exciting playing with them though. Greg won't let anyone take the bid for less than 75.

I hope they call me on a mission...

Rachel's brother, Derek, reported to the MTC this past Wednesday! He will be going to the Colorado Springs Mission. We picked him up from the airport on Tuesday night and then we all (Rachel, Austin, Greg, and Brianna) took him to the MTC the next day. Here he is pre-MTC:

Two suitcases for 2 years...wow, they must be heavy.



Derek's favorite phrase on a cake.



We took him to breakfast (his last supper) at Kneaders the morning before he reported.



Here we are walking to the MTC from Wymount. It's faster to walk there than to drive. It's crazy how close he is to us right now!



Here's Derek in the MTC, looking very official with his name badge. We loved the orange "celestial dot" they give you on your first day (aka. "dork dot").

Good luck Elder Martin! Have fun in Colorado!

Prostaglandin Endoperoxide Synthase

Guess who's submitting their undergraduate thesis tomorrow? The title alone is long enough to make me bored:

"Posttranslational Modification of an Intron-1 Retaining Cyclooxygenase-1 Splice Variant in Rat Spleen and its Effects on Enzyme Activity"
