Happy

I haven't blogged in a while.  Does anyone ever read this anyway? I have been having the best summer ever.  Yellowstone in May. You know that rocked. I went to visit Brittni and Adam in Cedar City. I missed that girl so much! And it had been too long. So long, in fact, that I forgot how awesome Adam is too. I just love those two. We went to a lake, got super sun burned, St. George, and then up the canyon in Cedar, crawled through mammoth cave, and played. I met their dog, Zim. And we lit sparklers in a parking lot on campus. I miss that city so much. I drove around campus right before I drove home just to remember the awesome years I spent there. It was a great weekend. Ryan came home from his mission!! I love that he's home. He's lots of fun and likes to constantly be doing things and make goals. Ha. It's only been like 3 weeks and he already has a job! It's fun. I've been living in April Ramsay's beautiful house. I get kicked out this week, but it's been the best! I love waking up in the morning and going to my mom's house to play all day because I only live 3 blocks away. It's been the best.  Annalie and I decided to be roommates. We've been super best friends for 3 years now and finally decided we could live together and not kill each other! Ha. We looked at a few places and found an amazing place in West Jordan. We move in in August! I'm so excited for the change of places and wards and a new start again. Work has been a roller coaster. The month of May was terrible and stressful beyond anything. But things calmed down in June and we hired 5 new nurses. I was fortunate to train 4 of them on our Rehab hall, all of whom are amazing nurses and so nice. We're lucky to have a really great team of people. I'm loving work most days. I work with some awesome CNA's that make time go faster and shifts more fun. I know it took me a while to warm up to everything, but I'm happy now. I was named employee of the month this week! I was shocked and honored! I really didn't have any idea that was going to happen, but I makes me happy knowing that my co-workers nominated me and they appreciate me.  Unfortunately and fourtunately (still undecided), I am going to look for new jobs closer to West Jordan. Hopefully at the University of Utah if I can. Annalie speaks so highly of it, I feel like it would be fun. For now I'm going to stay at my job until I figure out my future a bit more. Or until the 40 minute commute gets to me, come August. But I'm happy for now. For everything. For the prospect of change and for a great job in the mean time. I'm going to California in a week for a family reunion. I'm excited to go to the beach! And to play with my family!! We never go on family vacations anymore, so I'm really looking forward to it.  Besides all that, I work and play. I go swimming, play with my nephews and neice, chill with my sister, and find fun things to do. Like the aquarium, or the rodeo, or City Creek, or play at the park.  So that's life lately. It's happy. Boy oh boy, do I LOVE summer! I live for the summer!! I tell you what!

  2. I READ THIS, TOO! Please oh please come visit me. I was thinking about you the other day when I was going through old pictures and I found the beautiful pictures of us pretending to dance on the DDR. GOOD TIMES! TFF! I'm at the pool Friday nights and Saturday days--and Tuesday and Thursday mornings, but that's until 9am, and even I don't want to be there at that time. So dang early.

    This small world connection is seriously making me the happiest girl right now. It was fate that she did her clinical hours with you--she was obviously in the best hands! :)
