Final Countdown

It is amazing how fast time flies! I cannot believe I am in the final semester of the nursing program. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was the scared little freshman here on campus, and no my time is getting close to being over. I am excited to be done and be graduated but at the same time I am nowhere ready to be done. But instead on focusing on that I will focus on the here and now. I have pretty nice classes this semester. I am taking guitar and it is fun to learn new things, even though it is definitely harder than I ever imagined and my fingers hurt a lot from the strings. I hope that I can get pretty good and that I will be able to do well in the class. My nursing classes are the same as ever, full of work and really hard. I love my religion class so much. It is so amazing! It is the doctrine of the Gospel class. I thought it was for new converts, but I was wrong almost everyone in my class are RMs and are married. We take the doctrines and really study them. I am learning so much even after 2 classes. I love my teacher too so that is a bonus. Then I just have my micro lab which my teacher is pretty funny. My last class is my nursing project class. My project is how exercising and eating healthy effect your school work. It has been fun to do and hard also. But going to the gym clears my mind. And I can already see the effects of going to the gym.

    We have some cool guys that have moved into apartment 44, which is who we normally hang out with. They are super nice and we have had a lot of fun in the past week of school. Last Monday we went out to the shotgun well. It is a cool well that sounds like a ricochet when you drop a rock down it. Then this past weekend we played Frisbee and catch, we are planning on getting a bat so we can have a real game. Then yesterday after ward he we went and played basketball. And we have a little devotional group. I am glad that I have been able to meet new people to help keep me insane. But don't worry mom and dad I will balance my time with them and my time studying.

    On a sadder note it seems as though I have lost my gym partners. Le only goes with her boyfriend Aaron now and I got kicked out of going with them, and Cassie either goes without me or is with Amanda. So I guess I have to get over my fear of going alone. Oh well it will make me stronger.

Well that is about all I can think of now. There is the update on my life. I know this semester will be a ton of fun!!

Double Date

So my apartment was having a bad day about not being asked on dates. Instead of moping around I decided to try to make them happy! So I came up with the idea of having a roommate double date, where we girls ask the guys. By the end of the planning we had two roommates drop the date because they had other things going on. The date still went on and we had a ton of fun. When we went and picked up the guys we all picked up someone that wasn't our date and we blind folded them so they wouldn't know where we were going. I think that having someone pick them up that wasn't their date really confused them. After driving around time for a while we went to our apartment and unblind folded them. It was really fun. We then all wore aprons and made homemade little pizzas. That was a ton of fun. While we waited for the pizzas to cook we played the M&M game. Where it is a race trying to get the most M&Ms into the cup using a straw to suck them up and having a hand behind your back. We also played the Oreo game. Then we ate dinner and then we made homemade ice cream where you make it in a zip lock bag and toss it back and forth. But it really turned into a throwing game where we were basically chucking the ice cream at each other. This was really fun and the ice cream was pretty good too. We finished off the night playing the skittle game with dice. Our cheeks were sore from holding all the skittles in. Over all it was a fun night! Something we will have to do again!

Time to Catch Up

 

    Man during school I did not realize how time flew by so quickly. I got really far behind in my blog. So now that we have a week break I figured it was time to finally update. This semester has been crazy busy, but quite possibly my favorite semester in nursing thus far. We got to study OB and Peds. It was very interesting to learn all of the things that are different with infants and children. I never knew that there were so many medical differences. Anyway no one really cares about what I am learning in nursing, so let's get on with other things.

    This semester was the semester for people to get married. Liz and Chris got married and their wedding was AMAZING!!!! I loved it and having the whole family together again. She looked beautiful! I am so lucky to have lacie and Chris added to our family because they are both amazing and they fit into the family so well. It is fun to see our family grow and to have everyone get along. I do not understand why people always say they don't like their in-laws. They are crazy! It is also sad that I am the last one left, but makes me happy because that way my entire family can be in the temple with me when I get married… that is once I actually get asked on a dateJ

    We had a nursing trip where we had to go down to Utah to tour some different hospitals and of course I had to go see my friends that I haven't seen in forever!! It was amazing I just wish I was able to see Katelyn because I haven't seen her in FOREVER!! But I was able to see Cassie Heap and Lot Slade J Cassie picked me up from the hospital and we were supposed to meet lot and the Marriott center for the BYU basketball game. I was super excited to be able to see JImmer in action but by the time we got there the game was sold out and we were not allowed into the center. So Cassie and I walked up to the temple and then around campus and back to her place. It was so much fun to be able to catch up with her. I never realized how alike we are and how much we can just talk and talk. Finally lot got done with the game and came and got us and we went to get ice cream at the Malt Shop. It was really good and fun to just be together again as a group. I am really hoping that we are able to do it again soon.

FRIDAY!!!!

So friday will be a great day and a sad day at the same time. A great day because i get to see my family that morning, and because i finally get to go to Kansas with Cassie!!!! It will be so much fun. although i am neverous about flying home. but hey all new experiences right. It will also be sad because the semester is ending and so are new friendships. I really have started to find my way and hopefully get things figured out when some people have to leave. But it is all part of the Lords plan and he knows what he is doing. I just hope to be able to keep in touch with those who are leaving to go home.

That sucked! :)

It amazes me how much one can learn in a single weekend. This past weekend I had dad teach me how to drive stick. the best part other than spending time with dad was when i stalled the truck for about the 10th time, he said well that one sucked:) it definaltly made my day, he never got mad in fact he laughed about it a lot. I love that fact that I can always rely on my family! On monday i also thought i would return the favor of them always making me breakfast. So i tried to make breakfast. Tired being the key word:) i was tyring to hurry and get it cooked before they got off the computer with josh and laice. So me not knowing you cant cook bacon on High ended up burning the first batch of bacon. but dad came and saved the day and helped me cook it. and mom helped me not burn the french toast. Nevertheless it was a good morning. The best part was waking grandpa up and telling him breakfast was ready when he said "is the banana cake ready too" i was so confused. he said that i said i would make it. come to find out he had been dreaming about the banana bars that we said we were going to make for the 4th but never did cuz we didnt need them for the dinner. so we made them anyways! I LOVE making things for my family. I feel it is the best way to show how i love them. I like to see their faces or how they act when i do something for them. This weekend overall was just perfect! I had so much fun wiht my parents and grandpa! I am so lucky to have the life i have!! Thanks Family!!!!! I also got to sign the ABCs with Sarah over the phone. She is so fun to talk to over the phone:) And lacie we got to sing happy birthday too. Going to Marilyns house and watching a movie with steven then watching the fireworks. This weekend was exactly what I needed in order to get through the rest of this semester!

Skinny Dipping???!!

So my roommate and one of my best friends Cassie came up to island park this past weekend to spend some time and just relax. when she came up ealier she had asked about skinny dipping and mom being oh so nice said oh ya ppl do it all the time. well that is not the right thing to say to Cassie so all she talked about was fulfilling her goal to go skinny dipping. So this past weekend after much debate by me she finally talked me into doing it. So i guess it is one thing i can check off my list that i have wanted to do but have always been to afraid to do it:) the funny thing is that we wouldnt jump in the lake in the middle of the day with clothes on beacuse it was cold with the wind. I dont know about us college kids. we think really werid. But it was a good weekend and it was fun to get out and away from school for a while. It is nice to spend all the time i can with my family before they leave to go to cali.

So this weekend was a ton of fun. Cassie came up to the Island with me. Mom, dad, Cassie, and I all went to the play mill and saw beauty and the beast!! it was awesome and we all loved it. saturday morning we woke up to my parents making us breakfast and that is when they told us of the new of them moving to california in a week or two. this is a sad day for me. i love haivng my family close and i dont like the fact that they will once again be 20 hours away from me. first my sister then my brother and now my parents. i feel like my world is falling out below my feet. I hate those days when you have no motiviation to do anythin. beacuse this is deifinatly one of them. But ya i wont go into that borin story. anyways i am so excited for my sister who found someone who treats her well. i have never seen her so happy before. it makes me want to find someone to treat me like dave treats her. Well i think that is about it for today.
