WHO WE ARE
This is Mr and Mrs Zinke…before they went to the temple to make covenants with each other and the Lord in the temple.
Well! Read all about our courtship here. From our first date to our wedding: 66 days. I wouldn’t have it any other way. We share the INFJ personality which creates interesting opinions and situations. It’s like living with another version of yourself. Happily married. Equally domesticated. We enjoy playing speed scrabble over a hot bowl of cracked wheat at the breakfast table and cruising along the shore of the lake on our rollerblades. Yup, we still ride ‘em and we love ‘em! We enjoy working out together, doing dishes together, sitting by each other in church and sleeping together. Life is good and we look forward to our many years together.
While bringing home the bacon, I enjoy my scenic commutes to work. Life in Vermont brings a sense of peace. People are surprising friendly, courteous and patient. I dabble in photography, thoroughly enjoy cooking and I have a green thumb. I studied exercise physiology with in emphasis in fitness and wellness at BYU…so I can be fit and well, of course!
Rick, too, studied at BYU (though our paths never did cross until we had both left BYU behind) and started his 3rd year of Medical School at UVM on March 3rd, 2008. His talents are endless. He’s built a shoe rack for our tiny closest, has been honing his kitchen knife skills, and is great with people. He is a runner and soon to be biker! I am not sure there is anything he can’t do or figure out. He amazes me. We’ll be in South Burlington, Vermont until the Summer of 2010 and then we’ll be off to some residency somewhere.
This blog is simply the events, passions and thoughts of Vanessa, and infrequently, Rick. (He’s my Editor-In-Chief!) There is no rhyme or reason to any of it. Have a fantastic day!
Hi Vanessa, I am your mom’s cousin. I was talking to her last night and she sent me your blog address. I was reading through it and came across the places Rick is looking to do his residence. I would say Spokane WA is the place to go. Many in our ward are either residences or law students. We have a great city and many places for you to photograph. We also have an area of Spokane that grows lots of produce each year that you can buy picked or you can pick it. We have a river that runs through the middle of town. We live on the south hill in Spokane. Your receipe for the zucchini bread looks yummy and I’m going to try it. I have 4 more huge zucchinis.Your photos are absolutely beautiful. I hope you will consider Spokane. Maybe your mother will come visit me if you are here.
Patty!! I do remember you!
Thank you for your imput on Spokane! We would love to end up there some day. Spokane or Portland. It’s a wild ride, this medical school/residency stuff, but we’re trying to have fun doing it! What city are you in exactly?
