NEW CONDO

We're moving, yay! We just signed a lease for a new condo that we will be renting, and are VERY excited. Its in the Marmalade Square area of Salt Lake City...which is basically the north-west part of capitol hill.It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo. It is PERFECT for us...it has a new dishwasher and all new appliances. It also includes a washer and dryer, YAY, and it has a good sized backyard for our 2 little pootches to play in.
My favorite part of the condo: the little doggy-door it has that leads right out to the backyard. Clark's favorite part of the condo: the pool and hot-tub!
So, COME VISIT!!! The hot-tub is open all through the winter so we can enjoy that together, plus....Salt Lake City IS a good place to get your christmas shopping done *hint, hint*

UGH, CITY LIFE!

So, there are definitely ups and downs to living in the city...especially right downtown SLC where we live. I have loved having everything so close, and it seems like there are so many more opportunities. But, I'm getting REALLY sick of it! Why?-because not only are there a lot of scary people roaming around every inch of downtown, but with downtown/city life there is more crime! For instance: Monday morning when I went out to the car to go to work I discovered that both Clark's and also my car had been broken into. The passenger side windows in both cars had been completely smashed in, and everything in our cars had been gone through and was scattered everywhere. The craziest thing is nothing was even taken except my car insurance info and my car registration info..which are both things that only have my name and no personally info that they could use. I'm assuming that the jerks who did this were the identity theft types, who were looking for any personal info they could. The thing that made me the most angry was that the apartment parking lot where our cars where park was supposed to have surveillance cameras, but when we talked to the maintenance man about it he said they cameras didn't even work...gee, I sure feel safe living here!

I STARTED A NEW JOB!

Yay, this is Alicia, and I got a new job, I'm really excited and I've enjoyed my first 2 days there so far. I am working at a place called Comprehensive Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, and there are 3 orthopedic surgeons who work there along with a Nero-surgeon who comes in a couple days a week.
It is a temporary job until the end of january, which is perfect because I graduate in december and then it will take me a little while to get licensed at a Massage Therapist through out the end of december/early january. I'm doing receptionist work there, but it's not the crummy kind where you get treated like crap, and they pay really well.
You can check out their website---> www.comporthopedics.com

UPDATE....
So, we are still here in Downtown Salt Lake City. We keep VERY busy, and are both going to school/working full time. Clark started up again for the fall semester at the University of Utah He is really enjoying his classes, and he is working hard to get good grades to get into med school. He is planning on becoming a M.D, want to go into Pediatrics, and is considering having child psychology as his major since when you are pre-med student you can have any major that you want. He is working full time in the evening for the church, and works in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
I am still going to school at the UCMT(Utah College of Massage Therapy). I LOVE it, and will be graduating in December. I am planning on becoming a certified Massage Doula and Prenatal Massage Therapist after I graduate, and want to work with pregnant women and before, during, and after labor...along with doing some infant massage. I am working at the Avenues Pet Clinic, and REALLY looking forward to when I graduate and become a certified therapist so I don't have to work a crummy receptionist job anymore!
On August 19th it was our 2 year anniversary, YAY! We went to Lagoon, then Clark surprised me by taking me out to a really fancy dinner at the Roof Restaurant. We had a really fun time, and I will try and get some pictures of our fun day on here soon :o) Year #2 was definetly a better year for us then year #1. We have really grown up, learned to compromise, and love every minute with each other!
Other things that happened this summer: we went to numerous concerts, Clark's family came to vist in July, and we went to a Penry family reunion in August held in Colorado and a nice lodge.

Fun Weekend

Last weekend we were able to go down to Price to visit with friends and family. We loved being able to spend time with our two little nephews Logan and baby Carson. Logan LOOOOOOVES his Uncle Clark, and was very excited when the two of them went to the park together. When we go down to Price Clark pretty much just plays with his bud Logan the whole time we are there! Carson is getting blump...he has cute little fat rolls :o)

Scoot-Scoot-Boogy

So, about a year ago at this time Clark and I bought our 2 scooters that we love! We zoom all around the Salt Lake Valley on them, and would drive them all year round if it weren't for the snow/ice. It was really funny the other day...at work on my lunch time I came out and there were a group of old ladies standing near my scooter. They asked me a few questions and were so excited when I said they could take pics. They all took turns posing for pictures on my scooter, very cute!

Here are some things that have happened since I last posted:

We spent Easter with my family in Price. I dyed eggs with my nephew Logan, although he hogged them all. We always take Zeke & Miles with us because they love to play in my mom's backyard.




My sister Natalie had her 2nd baby boy at the end of April. Carson was born early, so he had to stay in the hospital for a while. Here I am visiting him in the NICU. He loves me already.

My other sister Katy went to her first Prom & I was there to pinch her date's cheek. Just kidding- that was my mom's job.






Clark finished another semester at the University of Utah. He also started a new job recently, which he likes.
