.......................

ALL I CAN SAY RIGHT NOW IS THAT I'M ALMOST DONE WITH SCHOOL!!!!! I can't even wait! I don't know yet where i'm going to be having my extern, but hopefully this week I will find out. Here is my countdown.....

2 weeks = DONE WITH SCHOOL AND START EXTERN!

(insert Birthday here!) :)

2 weeks after that = GRADUATION!!

2 weeks after that = DONE WITH EXTERN AND MOVING ON TO THE REAL JOB! :)

I know this is a short post, but i thought I should at least say something! So here is my something!!

Love you all! :)

Hey there!

So somehow I really need to get into the habit of writing on here each week! That way I won't have so much to tell in one post! Oh well, just a warning this might be a bit lengthy...

To start...school is getting closer to the end! Graduation date? SEPTEMBER 14TH!!!! What an awesome late birthday present for me! haha I can't wait! I will be done with classes around the 23rd of August and then I go right into my externship. I don't know where I'm going to be going yet, but I think it will be at an allergist in American Fork or who knows where! I won't really find out for a couple of weeks or so! As for the classes, they are going great! I have longer days on Wednesdays and Thursdays now, I'm taking an Employment Strategies class. We are working on our resume's right now. It's a really easy class, all we really are doing is just learning to be better employee's. I just get butterflies in my stomach thinking how close I am to the end!

It's quite funny when I tell people that I'm graduating soon, and then they ask me, "What are you going to do next?"....my reply?...."Um..work." Haha What else am I going to do? The reason I'm going to school is to get a job! :) It makes me laugh.

This past month has been so crazy for me! I've had my sisters and their kids in town and it has just been so fun to hang out with them! It was the first time ever meeting one of my nieces and I just love her to pieces, and miss her a whole bunch all ready! I sure wish you all didn't live so far away! We had so much fun with our family reunions and our girls day! I sure do love my family and love every moment I get to spend time with them! I can't wait till next year when my brother from Hong Kong gets to come and visit!

I've been doing a lot on my weekends, which has been awesome! I'm very tired and exhausted when Sunday and Monday comes, but it's all so worth it! Lets see what have I done? Gone to the opening showing of Harry Potter, the opening showing of Captain America (these movies have both started at 12:00 a.m.), hiked up horsetail falls, gone to the Days of 47 Rodeo, going to be hiking horsetail falls again next Friday, full weekend of events for my YSA stake this weekend(carnival, dances, comedy shows, workshops, firesides, 5k, etc). I tell ya this month has been quite crazy for me!

Here are some pics of all that has gone on!

Me and Sarah! We became good buds! Oh I just love her!

My CUTE nieces! Sarah loved giving Kayda(and everyone) hugs!

Girls Day in Park City!! Riding our way up to go down the Alpine Slide! So fun!

Just waiting my turn to go down!

So, of course I went to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter, and of course I didn't dress up, but that doesn't mean i can't get pics with others who did right? This is a Death Eater. He was the best dressed up as one! It was so fun to watch everyone that dressed up, being a people watcher that i am. There were others like Sirius Black, Moaning Mertle, Bellatrix Lestrange, Tonks and Lupin, house elves, and of course all the Hogwarts students.

Me and my friend Broc went and hiked up to this waterfall. This is just the top part of the big waterfall there. To the right of this picture I had to climb down to get to this spot to take this picture, I had a bit of an accident and slipped half of the way down. I have the marks to prove it...look below...

This picture doesn't do justice. If it was a movie, you could see that my legs were shaking like crazy! You can see how dirty I am, but if you saw my legs now, there are cuts all over, bruises on my legs, arms, back and butt, cuts on my arms...it was quite a fall. :) But no worries I got up and climbed back out of there and back down the mountain.

This is at the Days of 47 rodeo! So cool! I think this will be definitely one of my annual rodeo's i'm going to! :)

This guy is from Lehi and he was the only bull rider that night that stayed on the bull for the full 8 seconds! Bad night for the cowboys but good for the bulls! Such a fun rodeo!

Well there you have it in a summary of my last month! Hope you enjoyed it! Until next time!

Wyoming

Howdy Y'all!

Well here is two weeks in a row! It's a darn good thing I have something to say! ;) haha Just kidding! Well my ward went to Wyoming this past weekend to spend some time up in Star Valley. We were going to go up and run the snake river...but we cancelled that at last minute. Holy cow that water was moving fast! We drove past it as we were going up to Jackson Hole, and that river was HUGE!! Sooooo much water and parts of trees were floating down and it was MUDDY!! We did see some people rafting down it, crazy people! The waves were ginormous! But let's just hope they all got there safely!

So we just hung out at some property we stayed at. Played some volleyball, played in the pond(or in my case, get thrown into the pond). We spent a day in Jackson Hole and then went and saw the Bar J Wranglers! They are hilarious! I just love them! If any of you get a chance to see them do it! It's worth it!

Then we did a little service project for the guy that owns the property we were at and came home! It was a lot of fun!

Now it's time to go back to school and have my sisters come in to town!! I so can't wait to see them and their kids!! We are going to have a blast while you are all here! I've missed you all so dearly! See you soon!!

HEY!!

So I guess I need to be more diligent in posting on here. My life really isn't that exciting. I don't have kids to talk about or husbands/wives to talk about. My life is usually the same thing each week. Maybe a bit differences going on on the weekends. But Josh told me that I needed to put something on here so here I go!

I guess I can start with that I love this time of year! Why? Because of all the RODEOS of course!! I just can't get enough of them! I don't know why I love them so, but I just do! I guess it all started with watching Bull Riding with Dad on Sunday's! That was one of my favorite things to do Sunday nights with my Daddy! We haven't done that in a LONG time, but I won't ever forget it! I guess I got to a point of wanting to watch the bull riding in real life. I'm lucky to have so many rodeos around me that i can go to. I've got the system down to an art! When to buy tickets, where to sit, what rodeos aren't as good as the others, parking, what to wear...ya know all of it! :) I am most excited this year because I've always wanted to go to the Days of 47 rodeo, cause I hear it is awesome, and I actually get to go this year! I got good seats at a good price! I'm just so excited! :)

My rodeo buddies for the first rodeo of the season! Nicole has never been to a rodeo before, so her mom(though hating rodeo's) brought her along with us so she could experience a rodeo with someone who likes them i guess! :) It was a lot of fun to have them with me!

As of school, things are going smoothly! I'm learning so much! Much more then I ever thought I would be learning. I'm very proud of myself of how much I'm remembering and how well i'm doing! I've gotten all A's or A-'s and only one B+(which one percentage away would have been an A-)! Right now I've been learning in depth about coding. For those of you who don't know, coding is a type of billing I guess you could say. Every procedure you do at a hospital or doctor's office will have a code(set of numbers) to go with it so the insurance company will know what you are charging for. But it gets tricky..cause you have to use the right code or the insurance company will reject the claim. So we have been going through each body system learning how to code everything! There are different ways to code, and you have modifiers to make them more specific and this and that...it gets to be a lot to put in one's mind, but surprisingly I'm doing pretty well! I believe I will still be learning coding till July sometime, then I have a few more classes to take till I go on my extern(intern) in October! It is coming so fast! I'm a little nervous but also can't wait to be done with school and have graduated from college!

I love the feeling of doing something with my life! I was afraid at first when I was working at the Credit Union that that would be all that I would do. I could have worked my way up in the Credit Union and become manager and whatnot, but I just didn't feel like I was really doing anything. I thought about going on a mission, but that just didn't feel right for me. Then I thought about going back to school, just for the heck of it to do something then just sit at work. I hope now that when I'm done with school and start working full time again I wont have the feeling come back. Maybe my next step after graduating from college is finding a husband! :) Ya? haha That will be another accomplishment. Who knows! I just love this feeling of having a goal in mind that I know I can achieve and I'm working hard to reach it! I'm actually doing something with my life then not doing anything at all!

Wow...so I don't really know where that came from but there you go. I just let my fingers go till their hearts content! Hope you all didn't fall asleep reading this(if you're still reading it). I'm going to try my hardest to put something on here each week, even if it is only a couple of lines! Just to let you all know that I'm still here and doing alright!

Until next time!

California!

Well I have had a very relaxing 2 weeks! Wednesday I'm back to school! It went by so fast! Mine and my Mom's trip to Cali was so fun! I wish it had lasted longer! Our hotel was right next to the beach. We were 5 min away from Dana Harbor! That place was so cool! We went shopping there and went on a whale watching boat! My first time going on a boat out on the ocean! I loved it! We went 7 miles out from the shore and were looking for whales, but all we found were dolphins!! And lots of them! There were probably about 100 of them! It was the coolest thing I have ever seen! It has been something I have wanted to do ever since I was little.

We were then able to cross one more thing off my bucket list...see the Hollywood sign up close! And man did we get close! The view point was a bit farther away then where we were driving. It was awesome!!

We had such pretty sunsets and great times on the beach! The long car rides and the horrible smell in the casino(we had to endure this in order to see The Lion King in Vegas!) was so worth it! I had such a great time, and I've had a great time to relax and do absolutely nothing! :) I guess it's time for me to get back to school! Here are some more pics!
