Chris and Emily Evans: San Diego with the Giauque's, New Mexico, and St. George

A lot has happened in the past two months. After our trip to San Diego with Chris' family, Chris went off to Silver City, New Mexico to do another dental rotation for school. Hadley and I stayed home for most of it, but we went out to visit later on. We drove up to Albuquerque to see the Balloon Fiesta and stayed with Kyle Henry's parents who were so kind and generous. We took our own "Breaking Bad" tour around the city before going to the see the "Glow" at the fiesta. The Balloon Fiesta did not disappoint, and Hadley really enjoyed watching them be blown up and lit at night. We had such a great time and were so happy that we made the trip to see it.

After New Mexico, Hadley and I headed off to San Diego again to be with my family for a family trip. We stayed on the Naval Base again and had a great time with my family. We went to Sea World one day and Hadley could not get enough of the beach and sand. She loved it even more than the previous month that we were there.

After getting home from San Diego, Chris got home from his New Mexico rotation. We were so happy to have him home. But Hadley and I drove up to St. George shortly after to spend time with Emily Brewer and her two kids. It was fun to spend time with them and we had a great time.

Hadley will be turning 1 this coming Sunday and Chris and I can hardly believe it. The time really has gone by so quickly! We will do a small little get together with some friends here in Arizona. Chris is studying non stop for part II of Boards and the written part of WREB. He takes the tests later this month (which can't come soon enough) and then we are headed to Salt Lake City to be with family for Thanksgiving. We will be staying up in Salt Lake all of the December as well because Chris has a dental rotation near Rose Park for the three weeks before Christmas. It will be fun to spend so much time with family and friends over the holidays.

All things aside, I had one of my "not so smart" moments a few weeks ago. I was meeting Boo, Steve, Josh, Erin, and Chris for dinner at Houston's and I was coming from coaching at Desert Vista. Hadley had fallen asleep and I arrived at the restaurant. My car does not have keyless entry, and so I have locked the keys in the car a few times before. I put the keys in my diaper bag and got out to get Hadley out. The door was locked. I started to panic and checked the other doors and found out they were locked too. I ran into the restaurant panicking to get a locksmith or someone to break in. I would have done it myself if I needed to. The hostess called 911 and they were at the restaurant in less than 5 minutes. It gets really hot in the car even if I was parked in the shade. Hadley was totally fine the whole time and so I wasn't too worried by now. The Fire Department showed up and the fireman walked to the driver's car door and opened it. My door was unlocked the WHOLE time! I didn't even think to check it. We just laughed and I was so embarrassed. The fireman said it happens a lot more than you think, but I had to get a picture to document my stupidity.
