My not flesh eating bacteria and other updates

Soooooooo..today I went to the health center here on campus and found out that my flesh eating bacteria is not a bacteria at all as the previous doctor had supposed, and it is not a ring worm fungus like the ER doctor had supposed (I work in the ER and so she just checked it out for free), rather I have a viral rash called Pityriasis rosea. I am not going to give the two previous doctors much flack though because on the mayo clinic website it says this Although pityriasis rosea has a distinctive appearance once the rash appears, in its early stages you may confuse pityriasis rosea with other skin disorders. However it does make me happy to know that my flesh is not being eaten away hurrah!!
As far as other updates go, I am going to be graduating at the end of this year. I only have one more semester left and I am way to excited for that day to come! After I graduate I have been accepted and will go to school down in florida for chiropractic. Meighan and I are thinking of making a trip down to Florida this fall to check out the campus, nothing is set in stone yet.
Meighan is busy with her art degree. She will graduate one semester after I am done. One thing that I appreciate about her semester is that she is taking culinary arts classes and making yummy food! and chocolates!
Anyway sorry for the lack of pictures but I thought you have seen enough of my chest :D

My flesh eating bacteria

Meighan took these wonderful pictures of my flesh eating bacteria folliculitis. So this bacteria forms all of these zit looking red dots around your hairs and then starts eating the skin away. Lovely eh?
So this is a picture of my stomach you can see my belly button, and the shadow is the camera
This is a picture of my chest. The big red dot in the middle is not folliculitis but some other flesh eating bacteria which the doctor wasn't exactly sure what it was.
This is another picture of my chest.......So now I get to take some yummy steroids and antibiotics!

Wish me luck for a speedy recovery!

Yellowstone!

You get two posts in one day! so don't expect any more for a year ;P
This is Yellowstone the day after it opened in the middle of april with snow.
This is a Boffelow, they are like squirrels they are every where
This is a spring by jewel geyser.
This is jewel geyser, it explodes

This is running into the river on top is beehive geyser (or glacier...)



We were expecting a big eruption and all it did was dribble over the side


It's pretty


This is Jared sideways, (thats all your getting the computer takes too long to flip the picture)



Its pretty, it has yellow and things and it is really cool


This is all we got of old faithful, we kind of missed the big eruption

This had a picture of a big ugly spider in front of it...

I hope you enjoyed our yellowstone trip!!!










Portland!

I know it has been a couple of months since we have went to portland, but we thought that we should post some pics for everyone to enjoy!
The most exciting thing that we did while we were in portland was to go see Wicked the Musical. The play was everything we thought it would be, it was lots of fun and very entertaining. However, finding the auditorium in downtown portland is a different matter :D


We also had Chinese food at the happy new fortune restaurant. We paid about 4.50 a plate and we got a whole bunch of food for it. It was very yummy!!!!!!!





Another highlight was going to the Japanese Gardens. We have several pictures for your viewing pleasure.Isn't she cute?






This is one of our favorite pictures.




This is a view on our way out of portland

Meighan and I really enjoyed Portland, we went and looked at the chiropracting school there, but we are going to Florida for chiropracting school instead...So hopefully in about a year or so we should have Florida pictures to post!
