Invitations are Out!

Invitations were sent out this week for the big day!! If you don't get one in the next week or two, we probably don't have your address! Please email me or Rusty, I know he in particular is missing a few and would love the help getting those last few invitations out:)! We're excited for your responses!




Graduation is just two weeks away, still no word on a finalized moving location, just enjoying our time here and taking it day by day! We are looking forward to a Dbacks game this weekend with my sister and her husband...in the all you can eat section! Yeah! Wedding details are starting to come together enough to actually enjoy things like that!!


Have a great week everyone! Look forward to your responses!

Upcoming Happenings

Our final semester is winding down! Rusty and I will complete our doctorates in physical therapy in just four weeks! Graduation is at NAU campus, Saturday May 9th at 10am if anyone is interested. The ceremony should be supremely boring, so just join us for free food afterwards as we BBQ. Call me for details.



Since graduation is nearly upon us, we realised we'd better actually start movin and shakin to get us a place to LIVE. Rusty has started looking for jobs in the San Diego area, and we are planning to travel there in two weeks to start apartment hunting. The area we are looking at is Ocean Beach, which is a suburb JUST outside of the downtown area. We would be less than a mile from the beach, 5 miles from downtown, Sea World, Balboa Park, and the cultural center of SD. Mooching visitors are WELCOME. We want to find a great place to live so our friends and family will enjoy coming out to see us. SD is the tentative plan for the first year at least. We'll go from there. Hopefully, we find an apartment soon and get the ball rolling! We are both very excited.



Here are some random pictures from the symphony concert my family and I went to last weekend. From left to right: Rusty, Amanda (me), Dad (John), Mom (Lynda), my bro-in law Jeff, and sister Rebecca.







We're headed to Flagstaff next weekend for Resurrection Sunday at Grace! I can't wait!






Lastly, a few friends and family have asked about gifting outside the realm of our registry. For this reason, I created an Amazon wish list of random items that would help Rusty and I get on our feet in San Diego. The link is on the sidebar. Thanks for asking everyone, these things will really help us get going on our new adventure!

Peace until next time!

The Rings Please...

Today was a successful day! Rusty found a suit he wants to wear for the wedding, and we picked out our wedding bands! Rusty's band is simple white gold with a satin brushed finish (if anyone even knows what that means:)!) and mine is a thin white gold band that will HOPEFULLY be molded around my engagement ring so they fit together well. It was fun to try on lots of different rings and envision ourselves actually married and wearing them everyday.



We're starting to take a major chunk out of all this planning, and personally, I will be glad when it's done and we just get to be married! I can't wait to celebrate with our family and friends on our wedding day and have the planning be in the rear view mirror:)! It will be a great time! Invitations will be out next month, so keep an eye out in the mail and send me your address if I don't have it already!




We are still in Tucson. We just started our final internship two weeks ago, and we are both enjoying our clinic assigments. We have spent time with my family on our days off, and we are attending a church someone suggested to me tomorrow to hopefully get plugged in a little deeper while we are in the Old Pueblo:). Please pray for us to get connected with a local body of Jesus followers here and to make the most of our last month and a half of being students! Thanks and love you all!
