We Like it a Yacht!

An alumni of USC invited dental students and their families on his yacht on a tour of the Newport harbor. It was so cool!

Christmas Break 2010

Most of you know that Brian's school has gotten out already. What have we been doing with our time?

Mini Christmas 2010

Because we are going to Boston for Christmas day, we decided to open up presents a little early this year. Santa was good to us!

Brian got an Xbox (which looked a lot like the one I won from Ellen... wink wink), and a video game. I got a donut cook book and donut cutter (remember when we made donuts??) and an iPhone case that's on the way. Mariah got some Mickey Mouse figurines and a play kitchen. I had a cool video of us all opening presents, but due to technical difficulties, I couldn't get it on here, sorry!

Here are a few of our decorations this year:

This Past Month: Dental School Visit!

Mariah and I got to visit dental school with Brian last week. He took us on a tour of the school. Very enlightening!

Our Weekend at Griffith Observatory

This weekend we went to Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles with some friends from dental school. What a cool place! It's free to visit and park there (though it was extremely difficult to find, don't listen to Google Maps, grrr). Apparently they have just finished renovating it and have put in a ton of new exhibits. We saw a fantastic video of all they did to restore the place (appropriately narrarated by Leonard Nimoy, the actor who originally played Spock.

It was so beautiful up in the hills, it's so close to the Hollywood sign. I defintely recommend this place. It would be fun to go back at night so we could look through the large telescope (also free!).

Merry Christmas 2009

I wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Since members of my family were having such a hard time right now, we decided to forgo sending out Christmas cards this year. Instead, we spent the money we would have used on postage on a worthier cause. And we are sending you a Christmas blog post instead!

Tooth Update #2 Tooth Extractions

For the sake of blogging, I documented my experiences with tooth extractions yesterday. I removed all of my first premorlars (the ones on the outside of my canine teeth) to make room for my teeth to move with braces
