What an amazing past few days I've had! Vivian, Travis, and Amanda have come to Arizona for spring break. It just so happens that Vivian's family owns this amazing home in Scottsdale and we have spent the last few days back and forth spending tons of time with them. They arrived on Friday while I was in class last week. I was a little nervous about how it was all going to work out, because while it may be their spring break, I had one a few weeks ago and I'm in school now. I tried to warn them that I wouldn't be able to hang out all the time, but it looks like I lied. :)

Friday night Tyler and I packed up the car and headed out there. Bella was really excited when we got there and Louie (a dog belonging to one of Vivian's brothers Dental graduate friends) was there. They played for HOURS. It was wonderful to let her run off some of her energy (she has a ton) and we all had a great time watching them swim! We had awesome steak and shrimp serf and terf for dinner and cheesecake for dessert! We spent some time playing beer pong as well. It was a great evening.

Saturday I had to head back in to our place to get a few things done. I was pretty productive and we were headed back out to Scottsdale at around 5:00. Amanda arrived at about that time and by the time we got out to the house we only had to wait a little while to see her! We made some awesome burgers with guacamole, and baked beans. More beer pong was played as well as a little bit of Battle of the Sexes Cranium! The boys won, but only because we allowed the spelling of "Fonz". ;-P it was a close game, and a really great time! Tyler and I stayed up way too late and then Bella got sick in the middle of the night. I think she ended up drinking a little too much pool water, but by the middle of the day Sunday I think she was back to herself. :)

Sunday was another wonderful day. We bought tickets earlier in the week for everyone to go see the M's vs. the Cubbies in a spring training game. I was really excited because it was supposed to be a really nice day and it was almost like my two worlds (the one with the fab four, and the one with my medical school friends) could become one. It meant a lot to me that everyone came out and spent some time in the sun! During the game I started to panic a little (we had an exam on Monday morning, and as you can tell there wasn't a ton of studying happening) so afterwards Scotty, Aspen and I just went back to my house and got started (the exam went well I think)!

Yesterday (Monday) we took Scotty and Aspen to see the Scottsdale house. We had more burgers (best burger I've ever had), and had a great time in the pool playing pool beer pong (pretty difficult if you ask me!). I think they had a great time, I know I did. Tyler was so wonderful, he had to work this morning (at 4:00 am!), but still stayed up to drive me home and make sure I had a great time. I honestly don't know what I'd do without him, he's a life saver. :)

Today and tonight I have to spend some time in front of my computer. Back to the batcave for me! I just can't believe what a perfect time it was for them to come and visit! I'm so glad I got to have a mini vaca with 2 of my favorite ladies (we've missed you TONS AND TONS Abby!) and Scotty & Aspen got to bond a bit with my girls. I'm glad everyone got along and I can't wait to go to Vegas (my bachelorette party will be in Vegas, these girls are pretty much my wedding party!).

Boards are fast approaching, so I better get to work! Here are some pictures of our adventures! :)
