New Stuff

WE ARE PREGNANT! Just kidding, a good way to grab someones attention. I don't think I would tell all my closest family and friends that on a blog. Doug and I are doing well, things are starting to look up for us. We jumped on the band wagon and joined Netflix, which I don't really think constitutes as being on the band wagon. I love it so much, our recent rentals have been Planet Earth, European Vacation, and Waitress. Speaking of waitress, best movie ever, along with European Vacation (I will be adding both movies to my list of favorites).

The semester is finally over. This was the most grueling semester I have had yet. Human Anatomy was like learning an entire language in one semester, a language with words you would never use on a daily basis. There were some upsides to the semester though. For instance, I have finally figured out what I am good at: Science. I have never really felt I had a strong subject until now. This was probably due to the fact that I only took writing and art classes (as noticed from my blog, I am not a good writer) and always struggled in them. I am not one to brag (no one reads this anyway), but its probably going to be my first 4.0, EVER! I have big plans for next semester. I will be a teaching apprentice to science-world renowned Professor Mark Neilsen. I will be one of 24 students who will be facilitating lessons in the cadaver lab. I am really excited and hope it will look good on my CV.

Adding to the plans for next semester will be a job. That's right, I got one. I will be working at the University Neurophysciatric Institute. I will be working directly with patients, which will be nice to get a feel for what I will be doing as a nurse.

Doug has been so supportive of my schooling, I hope one day he will be able to take a break while I work. He is doing really well. He still works up at the hospital and watches Jazz games faithfully along with Sunday all-day football. I am not really used to having the sports on in the house being that I grew up with 4 girls and my dad only watched competitive fishing when he did watch TV (which was hardly ever). I love it though, its fun to learn new things about sports and makes me excited for our kids to be star athletes and one day end up in the NBA and/or NFL.

That's all I got, sorry if it bored you, that's your fault for reading it. We love you all and hope to see you soon!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
