CAMPING!!!

This past Saturday was the first Saturday of the semester that I did not have to be at the hospital. My roommate Julie really wanted to go camping so we invited a few boys from the ward and went. We had a great time! One of the boys owns a motor bike and so he gave me a fun ride and it was gorgeous! While we were on our ride a black bug flew into my friends ear. Not just around his ear, but it actually flew into the hole! He was shaking his head around trying to get the bug out and at that moment we both remember that we saw an episode of "Trauma: life in the ER" and this exact thing happened to a man where he was getting stung by a mosquito over and over in his ear. I'm pretty sure at this moment we both got more panicky and so I started to blow in his ear trying to get it out. IT WORKED! I looked in his ear and saw a little part of the bug and so I motioned him to get it out. He told me to get it so I stuck my finger in his ear and retrieved the dead bug...poor little guy, he was probably just as scared as we were! Afterwards we just laughed and now we have a funny story between the two of us. Other than that, I think the mosquitos were on vacation because I did not get bitten once, I felt super lucky. We left the campsite early the next morning which was perfect because none of us were grumpy campers yet. This weekend Julie and I are off to Montana for the 4th to visit our friend Bonnie, I am very excited and I'll have to post pictures later!

This one's for Austin!

It has been a long time since I have made a post and Austin made sure I was aware of it so this blog is for him!
Our class has a countdown board and when I looked at it today it said that we only have 33 more days till graduation. I couldn't believe it! I have been at college for so long that it has become a part of me. I am very excited to see my family more but I also am starting to feel sad that I'll be leaving Rexburg and all of my best friends up here. I have been so blessed to be here. So yeah, after I graduate I am planning on going on a way fun trip with some of my family and cousins and then I'll study for a few weeks for the NCLEX exam. After I pass that, I will be a full fledged nurse and I'll look for a job. I have learned recently that my passion is the ER. I got a full taste of what it is like last Saturday and my love for the high energy floor was confirmed. Ryan was able to come up here for a night and it was a blast seeing him and I'm psyched to see Nicole and the kids later today! Anyway, that's about it right now! Happy Father's Day DAD! I'm excited to be there for it next year!!!


This picture was taken on my birthday last month! Here are 3 of my roommates this semester, they are very fun to live with!
