First Anniversary Post!

First things first- we made a decision on medical school...
We will dutifully obey the results of our poll and attend UCLA this August!
(By the way, Rachel is mad that Baylor beat UCSD)


Here we are visiting UCLA in 2007.
It was destiny that we'd end up there!


In the meantime, we've been up to quite a few things while being funemployed this summer...

We've been painting Austin's parents' house.

We attended a Robinson family reunion in Farmington, Utah.

We moved to our new apartment in Los Angeles!!

Rachel's family helped out with the move.
We unloaded everything in an hour and a half!

Rachel loves the new apartment.

Austin loves the location (as you can clearly see by the expression on his face).

(No really, he likes it.)

Visitors

This past week Dylan and his parents were in Utah and he brought them over to our place!

We had fun getting lunch together, checking out the sites on BYU campus and just catching up.

Jacob even came to visit us. He and Austin had a little Sasquatch and the Yetis reunion, playing some of their old favorites from freshman year, "Theme Song," and "Nancy."

A little picture of them as freshmen. Austin still has that shirt! Ah, good times...

Also in the news... we attended banquet honoring this year's graduates in Civil Engineering.
Austin, along with all the other engineering spouses, got a certificate of achievement for "putting Rachel through."
Austin says it's nice to finally get some recognition!

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.
