catchin up to do

YAY! Lauren and Kev moved here! Lauren was my roommate while i ventured up to Utah for not that long, and i instantly fell in love! we get along so great and i have missed her SO SO SO much. Keven got accepted to med school in tucson so before they officially moved we met up! i'm so excited we're in the same state again, Lauren i KNOW you read my blog, I LOVE YOU!
ps, stop looking at my fat arms. again.

look what lovers made it ONE year baby!

pretty flowers aaron got me for our one year. we went to scottsdale for the night and he took me to the nordy's anniversary sale.
which is where he won my heart all over again and bought me a cute purse.

Biggie's birthday.
boy i love him. good guy right here.
and pretty funny. i miss not seeing him everyday. but i love my daddy and think he is the best.

k---- can you say SUPER FUN. so all of our favorite couples (k, we're missing a few of our favorites...) got together and we went canoeing!!!! (sp??) anyway, it was a blast. we giggled the whole time!!! each couple had their own canoe, and... we were the first to tip!!! lets just say i blamed it on aaron and told him if he pulled that crap again i'd be SUPER mad.
i convinced him enough, and we did not tip once after that! but we love these guys and can't wait to go again!
thanks - ian and alejandra (who are totally getting married this saturday!), balls and jenna, ty and jessie! we love you guys!

is that a syringe in my hand? fully loaded with a cartridge of local anesthetic and a needle inserted at the top?
yes-sir-ee.
that's right kids. i'm back. in action.
with a loaded syringe in hand.
for the past week and a half i have been in local anesthesia class learning and loving, regretting and fearing, relieving and peeing my pants.
we practice on each other. with real anesthetic. so i go home numb every night. starving. great diet, right? ohhh do not fear, this girl with a fully NUMB mouth manages to eat just fine. burritos, fro yo, chips... don't you worry about me.
loving injecting people more than i thought.
which is ultimately the weirdest thing ever.
i'll end on that visual. me penetrating someone with a 25 mm needle, Lidocaine in cartridge, syringe ready, and my hand shaking like so not super calm. i even got the giggles tonight during injection.
