The Sideline

Who knew that Sam's frisbee team had so much musical talent? Along with bringing their cleats, frisbees and water bottles, they bring musical instruments.

Whoever is on the sidelines joins in to encourage the rest of the team. They creatively created some cheers which were accompanied by dancing and interpretive dance. 

Pictures from the happiest day

We have our wedding pictures! Sam's dad has a photography business (alan honey photography) and he took our pictures for us. He did such a great job!

Here are a few of my favorites

Lab party

My lab at school threw Sam and I a wedding bbq. It was really sweet of them. Our lab is very diverse and so was the food we had. Hyma is from India, Moses is from Uganda, Harleen is from India, Paul is from the US, Dr. Aun is from China, and my advisor is from Turkey.  

They are all really nice and helpful. They've taught me a  lot. It's always nice to be able to ask for help or get their opinion instead of searching the web or reading an article to find the answer.

Here are some of the things I've been doing at work lately.  

I've been preparing samples to run in SDS-PAGE. 

After weighing, pipetting, mixing and heating for five hours, this gel is the end result. 

Look how pretty it is!

I've also been using the Mixolab. I wonder who gets to name these machines...

 You add your flour, water, hydrocolloid, etc and it measures the torque, mixing time, and protein stability as the dough is being mixed and simultaneously heated. This kind of stuff makes me excited!

Ultimate

One of my favorite things to do during the week is going to Sam's ultimate frisbee games. Frisbee is really fun to watch. Here is his team. Go stachio!

It's really challenging to take any action pictures on a phone because everyone is moving so fast and they throw the disk even faster. But this is my favorite so far. You can see Sam in action. He is amazing out there!

Whether being guarded by one person or four he manages to stays chilly. 

Not to mention how fast he runs.

Ultimate is a great sport to watch, especially when my husband is playing. 

I'm a Honey

Sam and I were married for time and all eternity on May 26 in the Portland Oregon Temple. It was the most wonderful day. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to Sam. He is such a wonderful husband and friend. Here is a picture from that special day.

For our honeymoon we saw the beauties of Oregon. I love how green and wet everything is. 

We hiked up Multnomah falls and were sprayed by the waterfall. 

It's so beautiful and peaceful here. 

We also spent a day at the coast in Cannon Beach and Seaside. The coast is one of my favorite places to visit.  Although the water was freezing, the weather was perfect.

After all our adventures we got in the car and headed back home to Kansas. We listened to Harry Potter on CD and sang along to Phantom of the Opera. What a long road trip!
