Our Story: Mini 1 & the Super Bowl

Semester 2 already seems to be flying by. I feel like it just started and Stephen just had had his first mini on Monday. It is so nice to have the first test over with. Stephen of course did great on it. I am so proud of all his hard work he is doing here.
Sunday night we were able to watch the super bowl. Stephen doesn't study much on Sunday and he never likes to study the night before an exam so we had the night to ourselves watching the game. I am not fond of football but I know it meant a lot to Stephen so I made a bunch of treats and tried to color them to match the two teams. We had popcorn, almond cake, brownies, tortilla pizzas, chips, cookies, and root beer. We decided to root for the Seahawks because two of their players graduated from Utah State and Stephen knows them. The only thing I was excited for that was supposedly going to help me get through watching it was the commercials. Well the game was showed through Puerto Rico so we got to watch Spanish commercials. Fun for us...I went to bed after half time anyways. It was still a pretty fun night.
The next day after Stephen's mini we were originally planning on riding our bikes to a snorkel spot where you can find tons of sand dollars but the weather was being up and down so we just relaxed at home for the afternoon. I put in emperors new groove for us to watch and we just hung out in bed. After a few hours of being home we figured we needed to get out for a bit. We weren't able to go for our Sunday walk the day before so we headed to the beach around sunset and walked along it until we ended up at PBH. (a little restaurant that is on the beach by campus). There we watched the rest of the sunset. It was really nice. I just love how we can walk for five minutes and be at the Caribbean ocean and feel like we are on vacation. After the sun set we headed to meet Stan and Taran and their two kids for dinner at The Usual Spot. They are a couple in our branch and they are one of the nicest families. We love hanging out with them and loved going to dinner with friends.
It really is days and nights like these spending the day with Stephen and having dinner with awesome friends that get us all through medical school. It is a tough few years but I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband and friends who almost make it easy and fun.
