Graduation is just 2 weeks away, and I'm feeling a little nostalgic. Cory and I met the second week of the first semester of his "official" undergraduate studies. One of the first things he told me was that he wanted to become a doctor. I thought, how ambitious. Now, here we are.
Words can't express how proud I am of my husband. He juggles so many responsibilities, and even though I joke with him about how unorganized he is, I could NEVER do what he does.
He went down to AZ a month ago to receive an award: AOMA (Arizona Osteopathic Medical Association) Student Distinguished Service Award. He is also finishing up his service and leadership on the Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents and as the AOA Board of Trustees Student Delegate.
We love you to the stars and back, Cory!

Do I DARE!?!?

I've been debating this post for awhile now. Back in March, my sister approached me about being a model and doing a fashion/runway show for her the salon she works for. I was hesitant, but in the end, like my mom said, it's not something you get to do everyday.
So, Aveda is all Green and jazz like that, and they wanted a recycled "look". My sister made a paper maiche dress. I wore it.
It was definitely an experience and I MOST definitely had to let loose and go with the flow, ironically, because my dress was as like a pinata, and I was the treat inside! The salon hired a professional photog and, ironically again, I knew her from middle school. (And I had prayed and prayed that no one I knew would see me.) But the secrets out, and the pics are too. They're actually pretty cool.




Don't be fooled, my hips are not that heart shaped. Amanda went for an "editorial" look and used bowls to shape those babies.

I must really love her to do this, right?
