Summer is here


So the summer semester has finally ended! Tammy and I are both so happy. We had a good semester, but not being in school is always a great thing. During the semester we took a bowling class together. It was so much fun, like we had a free bowling date every Tuesday and Thursday for the entire semester. I was also in the advanced physiology class here. I have to admit, that class has been my favorite class here at BYU-I. The information that I learned was so interesting. I loved going to class and lab.

Tammy and I manage some girls housing near campus, so during this break from school we have a lot of repairs to do. We are installing new cabinets in an apartment, putting a new foundation in another, doing a lot of yard work, and any other emergency that comes up during the break. We are so lucky to be managing these places because we get free rent, and a house instead of an apartment. It is such a nice set-up. We have a nice big yard, swing set, fire pit, a garden, and fruit trees. It has its days, but overall it is a great blessing to have this job. Other than that, I am working in the IT department on campus still, and we have a lot of time to just play with friends and relax. 

We are going to Thatcher next week for the Herring Family Reunion. We will be on Mt. Graham for a few days. Then, we are going to stay with Bridget and her family in Gilbert for a few days so Tammy and I can go tour a dental school that we are applying to. Our 3 year anniversary is on Aug. 5, and we will be in Las Vegas doing a tour of UNLV (another school we are applying to). It will be fun to spend our anniversary in such a fun city. We are really excited.

I have heard back from 7 schools so far saying that they either have my application completed and are reviewing it, or that they want a secondary application (and more money). We have heard from UNLV, but are still hoping to hear from Boston University and the University of Washington. If we are accepted to any of those schools, that is probably where we will go. 

Life is great. School is out. We get to see family soon. We are both happy and healthy. What more could we ask for?

Oh, we saw the new Batman movie on opening night. It was so good. Very dark, and not for kids, but a great show! The Joker is frightening to say the least. I hope you all get to see it soon. Enjoy!

Hey guys! The University of Buffalo has a great dental program and the ward back here is full of dental students. You'd definitely be in your element. You should check it out! We'd love to have some friends come out here! -The Strassburg's
