Photoshoot Preview

















We went up to Minnesota for my fall break before Zach started his new job and Zach did a photo shoot of Keely and me. It turned out great! Here are some of the samples.

Zach's 1st Day

Zach got laid off from hp and was notified in June that his last day would be Oct. 22, and that ambitious go getter got a job before his end date....so no severence package :( He is now working for TD Ameritrade as a financial representative (and it is all inbound calls, Zach made me mention this because he doesn't want people to be scared to hang out with him). He has 11 weeks of training and has to pass to 2 certification tests. He is very excited for the career change!

He has also gotten into 3 film festivals so far; Mockfest in Hollywood, Houston Comedy Festival, and Wet Your Pants Comedy Film Festival in Indianapolis, with his film "Heels to the Pavement". This has him far more excited than the new job!
Here is the movie trailer:

Omaha Nighthawks

We got tickets to the UFL Omaha Nighthawks with our friends, Garrett and Kristin. We have been to some amazing games that they have won in the last minute. We also got to go on the field for the halftime show with Nelly. He was awesome and his new song "Just a Dream" is sweet.


There was a dental school tailgate, so these are girls from my class and two secretaries that work at the dental school.

Cozumel Mexico

I took my Dental Boards Part I on July 27th and on July 28th we went to Cozumel, Mexico and spent a week at El Cozumeleno, an all inclusive gorgeous resort. This is Zach's favorite souvenir. He claims he will get alot of use out of it....
The best part was all the time we got to spend together relaxing and enjoying each other's company.
All dressed up before dinner. They had the best 3 course dinners.
Zach with his Salmon and Tilapia.
Krista with her Surf 'n'Turf, a delicious steak and shrimp.
Zach with his Fillet Mignon.
Enjoying my shrimp kabobs.

The restaurant we ate breakfast and lunch at right on the ocean. I loved the huge variety of fresh fruit, esp. the mangos.

The tequila factory tour....the straight agave juice, undistilled, very tasty and Zach's favorite.


Outside the tequila factory, the fountain and the agave plants, which grow for 10 years before they are dug up and opened to make 6 Liters of tequila.
Our tour margaritas.
The entrance to the tequila factory.

Our drive around the island on the last day when we rented a car.
We stopped at Playa Corona and snorkeled, they had a very shallow reef and some neat fish, and some people near us saw an octopus, which scared me, so we got out.
Zach driving the car we rented, it fit him perfectly.
We were walking on the beach near our hotel and Zach stepped on some rocks covered in wet algae, and cut his foot halfway thru our trip, so we cleaned the cuts up, but we couldn't stay out of the pools and the ocean, so they got infected, and they are still healing.
Every night the hotel had some type of entertainment, and one of the nights they had these dancers and a mariachi band.
We had a blast at the beach, relaxing in the hammocks, snorkeling, reading, and Zach editing a script.




They had a very nice tennis court outside our hotel where Zach and I played until he was drenched in sweat.
Pictures of our room and hotel....





The drinks they gave us when we first arrived.

White Coat Ceremony

My best dental school friends in the order of pictures: Armando, Ami, and Keely. Another Keely...I know it is confusing and crazy.



Zach the photographer catching all the great moments.....(unfortunately this meant that I didn't get any photos with Zach)
Our pledge...

Receiving my white coat...

A candid shot of me with the University sign...
A photo of me and my mom before the ceremony. She flew out for the weekend to come to the ceremony. We had so much fun and she spoiled me as usual. It is so fun to spend time with someone you like so much.
