Where've I've been Part 2

Since we were headed to Bear Lake, we just could not pass up the opportunity to stop in Provo and SLC to visit our alma-mater and our med school friends.

BYU is just a great place!!! I get the butterflies just walking on campus and want to get a backpack and have that "first of the semester" excitement again. We do lots of "encouraging" our children to want to attend there. I know it is so much harder than when Jro and I made the cut, but still..... why not dream big!


It was short but sweet seeing our dear friends in Draper. I remember people telling me, before med school, that the friends we made there would be our friends for life. I had no idea how much I would need these ladies to make it through the uncertainty, the length and the poverty of med school. I learned how to be a wife and mother from them. I not only hung out, laughed and ran countless miles with them, but I observed them and I have tried to emulate these amazing women. We all had four children now, (the Bateman's is still cooking, but we will count her) It had been way too long, but the conversations just picked up where we left them, one two...even six years ago.



There's part 2.... part 3 coming......then I need to catch up on school and what not. AHHHHH!!!!!

We also engage in a little BYU brainwashing! Wouldn't that be cool if our kids got to know each other better in college?

Oh!!!! I love this post. What a fun time we had with you guys. You are simply the best. We did log a lot of miles didn't we? And as far as emulating goes, I have learned volumes from you over the years and feel like I am a better person because I know you. I am so grateful for our Rozeskis.

Now COME BACK, ya hear?!
