Reasons why I love having Rachel here...
1. She’s super fun
2. Listens to me vent at the end of the day
3. Distracts me from unimportant mumbo-jumbo
4. Comforts me when I’ve had a hard day
5. Keeps things real – helps me see the right perspective
6. Has great stories
7. Very adventurous and social (She’s gone out on more dates than me…and she says she’s shy…ha!)
8. Loves me even when I’m a stress-case and get easily agitated
9. Takes pictures and has an uploader…yeah!
10. She's a great friend
Reasons why I love dating...
1. Great conversation – You know, the one that you never want to stop!
2. Attraction – Butterflies – Chemistry
3. Hope
4. Free dinner – I love eating out, but living on student loans doesn’t permit it very often
5. A night away from Bill (my computer)
Sarah, Deanna, Kari - Girls Night before Deanna's wedding
Reasons why I dislike dating...
1. Never knowing if you are expressing your feelings correctly
“Am I being too forward? Forward enough? Is he interested? Are we just friends? Am I interested?â€
2. The Game
3. Awkward conversations that go even more sour?!?
4. Playing “Twenty Questions!†– I hate first dates and the “Getting to know you†crap – I just want it to be past that stage
Reasons why I love school...
1. Learning - most of my classes are intriguing and can keep my attention – and when that happens I learn. I love learning especially when it’s something I am interested in. And I am fascinated at how the body works and then how it compensates when it isn’t working. The human body is amazing.
2. Great friends – I wouldn’t last long without my classmates – I love the great friendships, the class drama, the parties and knowing that all 70 of us are going through the same rollercoaster ride.
3. Acing my classes
4. Openness - friends that are willing to explain concepts time and again

Reasons why I dislike school...
1. Days that are SO hard that I want to drop out – I don’t like feeling like a failure
2. I hate spending hours on a subject and realizing that nothing has sunk in
3. Is this really what I want to do the rest of my life?
4. Exams - I'm not a good test taker
5. Self-doubt – Am I really gaining the knowledge I need to treat patients correctly?
Reasons why I love U7th ward...
1. Bishop Sandstrom – he’s so understanding and willing to help any of us
2. That everyone isn’t 18
3. I can go to learn, if I’m willing to learn
4. Building friendships
5. Great activities – ward devotionals, FHE games, wassail party, dinner groups, speed dating, pool party
6. And of course meeting new people (especially new guys)
Reasons why I love AZ…
1. Sunshine
2. Family – JP, MA, Max, Ian, and Rachel
3. Roommates – Natasha and Gidget
4. Friends – What would I do without great friends
5. School – great sense of perspective in my life
6. Home – over the years it’s starting to feel like home

I am glad to hear that Rachel is having a good time and you too with her there. I also wanted to ask, who is the fella at the bottom of this post? You do need to explain more about that.
ReplyDeleteI also think you look a bit like Courtney Cox in the top picture when you are posing with Rachel.
Keep having so much fun.
