It has been a long time since I visited Utah. The last time was Christmas 2007. My third year of medical school was crazy busy with only a one week break during Christmas so we did not have time to go home. Although third year was busy, I am reaping the benefits this year with a lot of time off! John and I were planning on spending Christmas in Utah this year but I went out earlier because I had a residency interview with the University of Utah. Since I had a few days before John came out, I was able to spend time with my friends.

The first night I was there, Kass, Ashley, and I went up and stayed at her family’s condo at the Gateway. We went to dinner at Cucina Toscana. This is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to and I would highly recommend it.


We walked around shopping at Gateway and had tons of fun. Of course we can’t go shopping without taking ugly pictures in the stores.
Emily, Ashley Kozlowski, and Kass Henson. Kass is prego with a little boy and due in January.
This is my favorite picture! There was a scarf with a hood attached and Kass modeled it perfectly:
I wish I had taken more pictures during my trip but I was a slacker. So I don’t have proof that I hung out with many more of my wonderful friends. I love how when you get together with good friends, you can pick up where you left off (even if it’s been 2 years).

More Utah vacation to come….

Family Pictures

I am so so excited! John and I have been wanting to get pictures taken of us for a while. Even though John is a photographer, we hardly have any pictures of us together. We've tried the tripod thing and it's not the same!!

I follow Jessica Peterson's blog and absolutely LOVE her style. She is amazingly talented. We contacted her in the summer to take pictures for us and we finally made it out to Utah so we could get pictures taken. We went out to West Provo today and braved the freezing cold (it almost felt like Minnesota). She posted a preview on her blog so head on over and check them out (I don't want to steal any pics from her blog without her permission)!!
