Cherished Possession

So I pulled a new question from the question jar:

What is your most cherished possession? 

For me this was a hard question. First I am going to eliminate all the obvious answers; no living things. That's right no answering husbands or kids or pets and so forth. Second I will eliminate anything I feel can reasonably be replaced. So as much as I cherish them scriptures etc are out. Lets be honest those handy dandy boys with the name tags can get me a new set. Then mentally somewhere around deciding what was eliminated by rule two I got nervous. Nervous I was not going to be able to pick just one cherished possession. You see this week I have had the misfortune of watching a couple of those hoarding shows on netflix. If you have never seen this show, then let me tell you it is a MUST watch before you start any spring cleaning. My heart just breaks for the people in the show and I realize how much we all assign value to objects differently. While watching I  pledge to myself to not get so attached to any material thing, and privately realize I cannot keep such a promise. So what is my one true cherished possession. Assuming all are safe what is the one thing I grab in a fire? Pictures, that seems like a safe answer. Not living; check. Not replaceable; check. Could I live without them, yes. They are just a crutch for my own memory of the events and truth be told if I only had to go off the memories I would be skinnier and taller in every shot. But then again as I approach another birthday and age and gravity play their tricks they may be the only proof I have that I was skinnier and taller. So yep my photo albums win. 

Now what is your most cherished possession?

San Diego

Southern Calli trip part 2.

So after a little visiting with friends in the L.A.ish area Brent and I drove down to San Diego to attend a manager's conference. We did however manage to squeeze in a visit to the Temple.

After our ADA/M conference the rest of the Rocky Mountain Dermatology staff joined us to attend the American Academy of Dermatology. We enjoyed the technical exhibits where Brent got a professional shave.

Oh and a facial

It was hard work I assure you. Seriously though we learned a lot, but did have time to show the office some fun San Diego sites. We visited the Mormon Battalion Center in Old Town.

Went on a Ghost Tour (which one of the gals from my office got a pretty freaky picture at the whaley house)

The next day we took a guided Trolley Tour to Hotel Del Coronado, got to have lunch at Balboa Park( which I learned is bigger then Central Park in NYC), and overall had a really great time.
