Okay, I'll try to make this as short, sweet, and unboring as possible. I did my first year of college at Ricks (BYU-I...will always be Ricks to me) where I was on the ballroom dance team. I actually hated everything there except for dance so I left for Salt Lake the next year. I finished my degree in Radiology in 2004 and married my husband, Jason Johnson, the same year in the Bountiful Temple.

We called Salt Lake our home for the first year and then headed to Boston, MA where Jason attended Boston University and received a Masters in Advertising. Boston was a huge adjustment for me. I worked at Boston Medical Center (BMC) doing Interventional Radiology. BMC is the city hospital so we took care of some interesting demographics to say the least. The hospital had translators for over 60 languages, although I would say most patients spoke Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, or Russian. We loved and still love New England. We became Red Sox fans and enjoyed our weekends traveling up and down the east coast.

In 2007 we moved to Charleston, SC where we bought our first home and had our two rambunctious boys. We lived within 20 minutes of 4 different beaches and still I couldn't get a tan! Charleston is rich with culture and full of history. Plus, now I can say I lived in the dirty south. That's something, right? :)

Rhett was born in November of 2007 and Graham joined our family in May of 2009. We are so lucky to have such handsome boys who keep us on our toes.

In November of 2009, while visiting my family in Arizona, my husband received a job offer out of the blue. We were happy in SC, but jumped at the chance to be closer to family. We now call Arizona home. We sure miss the east coast and the ocean, but the desert has been good to us so far. I work part time at the maximum security jail in downtown Phoenix taking x-rays of the inmates (usually after racial riots and fights, but occasionally they actually get sick too. :) ). Sounds crazy, but I'll never work at a hospital again! I love my job and all the interesting stories that come with it.

Anybody try to get a decent family picture with kids? This is about the best we've got! It's been great to see what people are up to. Hopefully we make it in August to do some more catching up.
