American Academy of Audiology

Hello Readers!

First off let me say this is my first posting on the 'new blogger' it has been forced upon me so I cannot vouch for anything bad that may happen on this posting. In other words, I have even less of an idea of how this all works now.

Now, on to more important items. This past week I attended the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) convention in Denver, CO. Almost everyone in my whole program here at USU attended and good times were had by all. Along with learning all sorts of audiology info. we also went to a Colorado Rockies game (Rockies 7 Dodgers 2 final score); and then after other long convention days that included 2 hour lectures our group attended some hearing aid company sponsored parties. I thought I'd post some pics from the trip to entertain all of you.

Here we have the ever fabulous Shalise Adams and I eating some great baseball food! Followed by a view from our seats at Coors Field. After those is a picture of our group wearing some snazzy USU t-shirts.

Here are some promised pictures of life here at Penny Lane.
As you can see I seem to be having some format trouble but at least I got the pictures taken...
There is one of Jon making me some delicious calzones. Another is of boxes in our living room to demonstrate all the glory of moving (this is an 'after' picture minus several boxes going to the garage). And Last but not least is a picture of our garden. It is of course a glorious example of the splendor of graduate school. This year we are going for a multi theme that says, 'We're moving! We're working! Its cold and rainy!' I think Better Homes and Gardens will be right over, don't you :)?

What's new

Hello blog readers... I'd like to start off with a fabulous excuse for not blogging but I really don't have one. So instead I'll just fill you in on the news.

School continues on, neverending group projects, reading, and meetings. Our semester finishes up the first week of May so not too much longer. Also continuing my capstone project with my wonderful committee chair. After 2 months of meeting every Tues. at 10am I am still unsure if he truly knows my name. However, Utah State now officially knows me as Amy Wheeler which is a triumph after much paperwork and 3 trips to the registrars office.

The move to AZ gets closer each day. Jon and I are busily packing and boxes are everywhere in the house both empty and full. The condo is officially on the market and hopefully one day soon someone will decide to buy it, freeing us up to pay rent to only one place in May as oppossed to two. I've also submitted all my paperwork to the AZ health dept. and hopefully my licenses will arrive soon.

No other truly exciting news, just ongoing wedding aftermath. Even though the wedding was 3 months ago we just recieved another gift and have just barely spent the last of those Bed Bath and Beyond giftcards. I'll try and get some classic 'moving' pictures for you all this week.
