Much needed UPDATES!!!

Sorry! It has been quite some time!

But, school is finally out for the summer,
So I at least have a second to breathe! Whoo!

Updates . . . . Lets see, where to begin?

The last 3 weeks of school were absolutely nuts! But, manageable, especially cause I had a ton of support from all sides! Thank you, I think you know who you are, you might not though, It was the little things that kept me going! So, you can just assume that . . . if you are reading this, you were one of my inspirations! :) But, I finished this semester strong, finishing a grand total of 23 tests the last week and a half. Having to retake a select few to get a descent score on them. Not to mention that the week before finals, our entire class took the best field trip ever! We are talking LAS VEGAS Baby!! It was so stinkin awesome! . . . So, it really has been a while since I blogged, I will give the details.

Our class and teachers decided that it would be way awesome and educational, of course, to go ride with the ambulances down in Vegas and see how a busy ambulance service functions. Well, i tell you what, I sure did learn a thing or two! It was seriously such a crazy awesome experience. We got to vegas and hit the ground running! Non-stop fun for five days straight! We would lay out next to the pool before our 12-hour shifts started at 4:00 pm, so nice. the only catch was, it was 111*F by 11 in the morning!!! And, the ambulances didn't have air conditioning!! Man alive! I seriously felt like I was going to cook! And some of my patients felt the same! And then they would tell me how bad they felt for us! Yah, you're telling me! Except for they were the ones that were usually stuck there against there will. But, I had some pretty awesome experiences! 14 patients for two 12 hour shifts. Not bad, considering in Rexburg, you're lucky to get one in a 24 hour shift. But, my first four patients were clinically diagnosed with dementia, and they were just nuts! Very entertaining, and can I just tell you how hard it is to keep a straight face in front of your patients! Holy cow! it was pretty dang fun! You'll have to ask me about crazy drunk man who took a 'chain-saw' to the leg!! That's a crowd pleaser! Anyway . . Vegas rocked! My parents came down the day before we all left and had dinner with our entire class, and I got to be with them all of Thursday day! (after my 12 hour shift, so basically, 2 hours of sleep that night, and then just go go go!) it was stinkin awesome! We may get the opportunity to do our internships there! Who knows.

Basically, biggest thing right now is that school is out for the SUMMER!!! WAHOO! I am so happy to be back home with my family! I saw so many people today that I haven't seen in over 2 years! It was so awesome! I love that everyone is just growing up and going in opposite directions! It is so fun to just see what everyone is up to and working towards!

I stinkin love my family! It is So SoSOOO Good to be back home with them! I missed them like the chickens!! I forget how crazy they are! Man! They are just nuts! And I wouldn't have it any other way!
Poor little Yazzi though, every time she had to leave me, or I would leave her, she would just go nuts! I don't know if this was a regular occurrence of separation anxiety, or if it is cause she loves me so much! I think me being gone so much has taken a toll on her, she never knows when she will see me next, (That may not be the real reason she cries, its probably the fact that she's leaving Grandma, but, we would like to think it is all for me!) But, I do know this, she wouldn't let me out of her sight whenever I was around. Man, she is just a hoot and a half!

Well, there are some updates . . . questions, comments, concerns . . . feel free to give them! :) I will take them as I will.
