The Boy Wonder

Wow! 5 comments on the last post! Sweet! One of them was mine, but I still count as a person right?
As a bonus, I add this video of Erik 2 years ago at a BYU game doing something that is causing him to still pick his wedgie.

Here's to you Erik... Cheers

I've been what?

I have observed this whole "tag" thing from a distance... sure, it is cute, it is a good way to find out about others, I like to read them, but never have I participated... I just don't know how I feel myself writing them. I could just be out of my comfort zone, or more importantly, maybe it just isn't manly enough. I don't even know that I have ever even seen a man post a tag on his sweet blog. But, it was Camille who did it (my cousin (and by the way Camille, you commenting so much on my blog and mentioning my name earned you a spot on "The Thunder List" sweet huh!
)), so I will conform for just this once. At least it isn't a "bag tag" to show all items that are in your purse.
Here it goes... (happy face is now on)

Tell about 6 quirks of yours...then tag 6 other people.

1) I really like buses. Not riding in them, but actually driving them. I know that sounds wierd, but I drove them for 3 years. Most guys get excited when they see monster trucks, hot rods, or sweet semis on the freeway. I get excited when I see those too, but just add motorcoaches to the list. Nothing is sweeter than a decked out motorcoach going cross country. This is me, chillin' with my passengers while touring in Alaska last summer.


2) I appreciate good chinglish. You know, chinese that has been translated into english, except for it is just down right wrong translations. Here is an example.


If that isn't enough, here is another (on a scooter I saw in Taiwan).













3) I really don't like it when other people take bites of my food, or eat off my plate, before I get the first bite. It just steals my thunder.

4) Right now, I have extreme rhinorrhea from allergies. I would wear this thing all day if I were given the oppertunity.


5) I am still curious to know why lint gathers in a person's belly button. THey have not taught us that in med school yet.

6) I think feet are cool enough that I am going into podiatric medicine.

There it is... what a rush!

I tag... Sarah Palin (I am sure she has some quirkiness), John Stockton, Marie Osmond, Shawn Johnson, Matt Lauer, and my sibs if they want to.

Studying for class

The past couple of weeks I have been in my cardiology class learning everything about the heart. For study, I thought I would listen to Liberty's heart. I was super suprised to find that she loved it so much! She laughed and cooed the whole time. What a great combination, kids and school at the same time.

Opinion

Mom really likes big bows. This is how Libby and I feel about them.

Looks are decieving

This is the look Libby gave me before a bomb exploded her diaper during sacrament meeting today. Needless to say, she needed a change of clothes.

Beijing!

I have waited for these next few weeks for a long time. If I am not studying, I will be watching the olympics. The olympics are full of such great stories, sacrifice, hard work and dedication. I am excited to see not only all the atheletes compete, but to see how China handles the world. Asia is such an exciting place and the Chinese are amazing people.

We are cheering for Des Moines own Shawn Johnson in gymnastics, Micheal Phelps, and the USA basketball team to restore order. Can they all do it? I also look forward to table tennis. Hopefully they get some primetime here in the USA.

School

School has started. It is bitter sweet. Bitter in that I have to leave my family for the day, and joy that I am that much closer to getting a paycheck. The first day of school use to be so exciting. I got to wear my new school clothes and new shoes, see my old friends, talk, be older and more in charge of others students. I don't get that same joy now that I once did. On my first day I wore my favorite 15 year old little league Rangers shirt that was given to me by Brandon Thatcher years ago, and a pair of shorts I bought in high school that have a mud stain on the back from where I slipped playing softball last year. However, my class is no longer the youngest and most confused at school. I do take some comfort in this fact.
We are starting with Pharmacology. I believe this course was designed so I don't give any of my patients poison and get sued some day. So I have decided to listen and learn. I guess that is what we do in school. So here is goodbye to my great 2 month vacation (my last for the rest of my life) and on with burning the candle at both ends.
