So we have been in North Carolina for 47 days and so far no one has killed over :) However, the girls and I thought we would for sure.... so far so good. Don't get me wrong we are still counting the days down to be close to our family and friends again. That being said, I think we are going to make it! Alex is starting to like school a little more :) (She thinks it is easy compared to Judge) She is a little frustrated with her soccer team because she is in a new position where she is the new girl and she doesn't feel like she is an equal yet. Kiara thinks this place is awesome. Of course she is popular and everyone tells her she is the cute athletic girl in the class. (I had to go pick her up the other day because she had a bloody nose they could get to stop and everyone off the bus was yelling out her name) She has not had a hard time adjusting at all. The only problem we have is the same one we had in Utah.... getting her out of bed. If you have ever seen it you know what I am talking about. She is not a morning person. It has been extremely hard for me to be away from coaching soccer and from going to work. Everyone thinks working from home would be so nice, but I would MUCH rather go to work and have it separate from my home life :) Rhett likes his job and like NC, he just works long hours and he the OR's are very slow here. :) However…. slow OR’s and long days aside…he has every weekend off!!!!! All in all life in the Hallows family has got back to normal...we go to school/work and then run all over town at night for soccer! We have a spare bedroom and would love to see you all out in NC :) Shauna

Graduation 2008-Orthopedic Residency

Residency Graduation~~June 13, 2008
One more stepping stone behind us. :) Rhett completted his five year Orthopedic Residency with the University of Utah on Friday night. His last day will be Friday June 20th. :) It has been a long but exciting journey and we are experiencing a very surreal feeling as we move forward to our next adventure in North Carolina. It is hard to believe in one more year we will be finished with our medical training :)

HELLO ALL :) We are getting ready to move from Salt Lake City to North Carolina so Rhett can finally finish his medical training. Rhett has been accepted to Duke Medical Center for an Adult Reconstruction fellowship. Rhett will graduate from the University of Utah Orthopaedics department on June 13, 2008 with his last day here being June 20th. It has been an awesome experience and we have meet some amazing people along they way. We are SO going to miss the UUOC and all the people we associate with daily. Alex is just finishing her Freshman year at Judge Memorial Catholic High School and what a year she has had. First she made the squad team (JV/Varsity) for her soccer team and they went all the way to the state championship. Second she randomly joined the Cross Country team where she took 5th place and they tied for 1st in the Championship. Lastly she plays soccer all spring with her team placing second in division 1 and having our best state cup showing with two ties and one loss. As well as keeping up with her soccer team she was on the Judge High Track team where they took state and she got her best time in the two mile ending her Freshman year with a 11:55. So...long story short two state championship rings and two 2nd place finishes. Now we need to work on our grades a little and we are perfect :) Alex also has been selected to play on soccer team heading to Europe this summer to compete in the Gothica cup. She is very excited and we are very jealous we are not going....

Kiara, Alex & Rhett Las Vegas 2007. Having breakfast at Kiara's choice :) However, it didn't really matter, because just like every other time we go out to eat she just ate off of everyone's but her own plate. "It just looks better than mine" she argues. :)
