Celebwation

Friday was our 2-monthiversary. Yay!

Another Trip, whew!

Austin just got back from another round of interviews. On Monday he was in Columbus, Ohio at Ohio State University, and on Tuesday he visited Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN (above). For some reason he only took pictures at Vanderbilt and decided not to include himself in any of them.

A statue on the undergraduate campus. The place was filled with beautiful green trees punctuated by buildings in the distinguished architectural style you would expect at a university in the South.

While he was there, he checked out a couple of other places:

Took a break between interviews to watch the local sushi place burn down.

Apparently we're so important that the medical school has dedicated an entire building to researching us!

Austin was most impressed with their global health program. Here's a close-up on the map of some places their students have visited as part of a school-funded research program.

Our Apartment

We finally got around to taking some pictures of out little apartment. Here they are for your viewing enjoyment:We live on the bottom floor in Wymount Terrace, BYU's student family housing. We love it!

Welcome!

The kitchen

Here's the living room, where we entertain our many guests.

We finally got the bed we ordered over a month ago. Austin's favorite is the dresser that Rachel assembled and painted herself.

Austin, as always, hard at work on our computer :)

Foosball is of the Devil!

We went to the BYU Football home opener this Saturday. Here are some pictures Rachel took with her phone:


As you can see, we had pretty much the best seats in the stadium.



Greg and Brianna, who accompanied us, were optimistic about BYU's chances.



Austin, however, was worried as always (His severe nasal congestion didn't help either).


In the end BYU won and everyone went home happy
(Unless you like Northern Iowa)

WE'RE MARRIED!!

Sorry we haven't posted in a while! Life has been chaotic (and wonderful) since the wedding...honeymoon, moving to Utah, buying furniture, unpacking, trip to Zion National Park, etc. And in case you didn't notice, today is our one month anniversary! We're really excited about that. This month has been a great start to our lifetime of marriage and happiness.

We're not going to post any pictures of the wedding because nothing can compare to the amazing pictures taken by our photographer, Amelia. So click on the links at the top of the page to view pictures of our wedding on her blog and a slideshow.

More Tulips

For your viewing pleasure, I've included another adorable picture of Rachel with some of the splendiferous flora from the Tulip Festival. Isn't she just wonderful?

Reminder: if you want to get a wedding invitation, post your address as comments under the "addresses" post. Time is running out!

Let's Celebrate!

Please excuse the lengthy time gap since our last post. Finals are upon us and we are struggling to keep afloat. We did, however, find time to visit a tulip festival in order to celebrate the arrival of our new (or, in Rachel's case, soon to be) nephew: Peanut.
