In Utah

So, sorry I haven't really posted in awhile. NOt too much going on really although life is changing I guess. I'm in Utah, but living with my sister till I find a place. Kinda feels like I'm here for a visit still. I'm still in suitcases and it has been fun. I guess once I get into a place it will feel more like I've actually moved... We shall see.

Chris and I have gone shopping some and braved the stores with my adorable but rambunctious niece and nephews a few times. My brother-in-law was super sweet and watched the kids last night so we could go out. It was nice even if I spent too much money.

One of the things I missed from my college days was getting to go Country Dancing, so one of the first things I did once I got here was to go dancing again. The dancing in SLC is very different than Rexburg but it is fun. It has been too long since i've really danced and I can tell I'm pretty out of shape. Dancing can be exhausting!!!! It was a long of fun though: cute guys, dancing, music, and did I mention cute guys???

Today I went to the singles branch again which was fun although it is much smaller than even last time I came. They are trying to recruit me but I still think I need to move closer to work. My friend Jina is moving out here on Tuesday and we are going to go look at some places on Wednesday. Hopefully it will all work out. I'd like to get moved in with some time to spare before work starts.

Well, I hope all is well with everyone.

Coming to an end...

Well, I've worked at Shriner's hospital for 3 years now...It really has been a good first job. I've learned to love all the burned kids and their families I've treated over the years. I have learned how hard it is to lose a kid after working so hard to save them and the joy of seeing a little one return walking, talking and doing well. I'm going to miss the kids and my coworkers that have become my friends. But, I am excited for new experiences and adventures. I believe strongly that this is what I am supposed to do right now.

Tonight may very well be my last night at Shriners (I am scheduled tomorrow but put in to be cancelled and it looks very likely). My coworkers have planned a small going away potluck and some of us are going to breakfast tomorrow morning after work. They have all been so sweet and I will miss them.

For now I am going to relax a bit before I go to work :)

One of my new favorite things!!

I just discovered a great new thing!!! It is called Emergen-C. It has a lot of Vit-C and B vitamins. I am always sick as most of you know so I mentioned at work that I tried Airborne to try to avoid getting sick. But I can barely swallow that stuff down and have never really noticed a difference. My co-worker recommended I try this stuff. I've only tried it for about a week, but I already feel like I have so much more energy and it has held off this cold I've been threatening to get for a week or so. You can check it out and www.emergenc.com, plus it looks like it has free samples. I have only tried the tangerine flavor but I think it actually tastes good!!

Oh, another "fav thing" I found this week is a new author. My sister recommended I try her a little while ago but I wasn't wild about the first book i read. The author is Melody Carlson and the book is called "A mile in my flip-flops" really cute. It is christian fiction, but not super "preachy" which is the only thing that irritates me about some christian fiction. I always like finding a new author...I go through books too fast.

Well, other than that I am getting really, really excited for my job at Shriner's to be over so I can start moving to Utah. Only 6 more shifts and then it is on to new things...crazy!! I'm trying to debate between buying a house or renting and haven't really decided yet. But I am looking at both. Looks like I'll be in Utah soon which I'm pretty sure my sister and her family is excited about. Seems like it is the cool thing in our family to move to Utah (look what you started Chris).

I guess that is about it for now
