a few things to report...

Well, for being friday the 13th it is a GREAT day!!!

I recieved a phone call from the manager of the pediatric ICU who I had a great conversation with...and a job offer. I had already recieved the offer for the float pool position at Primary Childrens, but I really wanted this job instead. I am very excited. I hope that everything can be worked out to get there in a few weeks. unless I want to wait till May to start I must get there no later than the 10th. I have a lot of work to do to move to Utah, but I am very excited!!! I'm looking for apartments and trying to get all the necessary odds and ends together despite still being sick. I'm hoping that my dad is right and that it is airplanes and not Utah which continues to make me ill....

On another note....It is that time of year again. To most people it is called "Valentine's day," but to a single woman it is never so great. But alas, I am determined that it be a good day (and weekend) anyways. So, after my doctor appointment today I stopped by sherrie's berries for a little treat...




...and now I am sitting on my couch watching the greatest Chic Flick in the world "Pride and Prejudice" (sigh)




I was able to keep down one berry and some lunch/dinner from Jac's Urban Eats :) So it is a GREAT DAY!!! I wish you all a great Valentine's day

back in Cali...

So I'm home, and I'm sick AGAIN! I don't know what it is but I ALWAYS get sick when I go to Utah. Is this a sign that I'm not supposed to move there??? I still haven't heard from the float pool position about whether i got it or not. I did get a call from the PICU wanting to do a phone interview. She sounded excited that I applied...I didn't answer cause I feel so crummy and I'm lame. I feel stupid, but also glad I couldn't have sounded too impressive feeling like I do. But I need to call back I know...Well that is about it for now. I did have a lot of fun in Utah, still am confused about what I'm supposed to do. I think the Lord is just making me make the decision myself which is probably the best thing, but it is still driving me crazy!!! Well, here is to making decisions quickly :)

Sooooooooooooooo done with work...

I'm so glad it is my friday and I'm off for about a week. I get to go to Utah for a few days and I'm way happy about that. Joelle's birthday is friday so it will be way fun to be there for that. She is getting so big!!

I hopefully also will have an interview for friday at Primary Childrens although I'm having a bit of trouble getting ahold of the recruiter to confirm.... Wish me luck though!!!

Work is a big frustrating, stupid thing right now....so it will be great to get away from it for awhile. Well that is it. Hope everyone is happy and healthy.

Venting...

so, it is 2am....and i'm on about every medicine known to man thanks to the doctors and I can't sleep. My back feels mostly ok, but I'm going on night 3 with like no sleep and I'm about to go insane. I'm blogging because I'm sick of staring at my ceiling in the vain hope that I can sleep. For some reason I keep thinking about the strangest things. For example: I kept getting names stuck in my head that I would want to name a son if I ever had one...and then I had to look up what the stupid names meant. Ok, so now that I sound completely crazy (I'm blaming the insomnia and drugs for that), I'm going to try and go back to staring at the ceiling. sorry again for this blog. please just look at it, laugh and forget anything said here. :)

stupid me...

Well, I hurt my back this week at work and am so frustrated with my self. I've had to go to the clinic that works with our workmans comp and went to PT for the first time today. I think it will get better soon though and I am still making it to work so I can't complain (at least not too bad). BLAH!

Because my mom is complaining I haven't blogged in awhile

So, I bought myself a new camera right around Thanksgiving. I spent way too much and haven't figured everything out on it yet, but I love it. Since I've seen my sister's family twice since then, her children have been my subjects. They are just too cute and everyone likes pictures of the kids over pictures of ourselves... I can tell Lucas sits still the most because I have more of him than any of the others. Here are a few of my attempts. I still need work, but the kids are cute ;)











Other than playing with my camera I've been focusing a small portion of my time trying to figure out where I will live once my lease is over at the end of february. I'm still in the "I have no clue what I want to do" stage. Sometimes I think I'll move to Utah (I have an interview soon there...), other times I really like my ward and think change is such a pain. But I have to find somewhere to live so I'm still debating it out in my mind. I better figure it out soon. If anyone has any ideas or theories or experiences let me know.

This wonderful time of year!

I love this time of year. All the lights on the houses, the wonderful smells, the speaking and remembering Christ, the music on the radio... It is just beautiful! I had a few parties this weekend and a dance. Today at church we had are Christmas program. It was wonderful. Great music, great talks and lessons and food afterwards.

Work is so busy, but I love the hospital at Christmas. It is all decorated. People come by and sing for the Children. Last year I worked Christmas eve and it was so cute. I'm glad I can spend the holiday with my family, but that was a great experience.

This year we are going to Chris and Jared's house and I'm really excited. I hope that the weather cooperates. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas :)
