I Have passed all of my National Exams! (on the first attempts) And can now have the title

I guess first I'll have to get a job that will actually give me a badge, but, I'm Still WAY Excited!!
We celebrated with Olive Garden Tuesday Afternoon after I found out I passed! YAY!!!

Glad I'm Home!

Two of my Favorite People in the whole wide world! And probably two of my favorite to take pictures of . . . Cause they're so dang cute and funny! 

We pulled out the hose for the kids to play with the other day! And It was way fun! . . to watch and take pictures of. Especially when they would fill there mouths and run somewhere far and water the flowers or paint splattered water on the ground. 

Covering the spray . . . Very Wise.

I just LOVE Being With my Family!!

Man Alive I have missed them dearly! I can't wait for the Family Reunion this weekend! Speaking of which, we leave in the morning, and I still haven't packed. Woopseydoodle. 

Home "Improvements?"

Kerri and I are home!! Well, until we go to Canada tomorrow, but our stuff is moved back in! And we are here to stay!! My closet has never really been to functional. So, I drew up some plans on how to make it more useful, and emptied it. . . . along with all of the stuff that I moved back home with INTO MY ROOM! It's a good thing I built a room up in the attic a while back, at least I had a place to sleep.

Lucky Mom!
She WAS excited about us being home, until the projects started exploding everywhere.

I completely Emptied This! . . . . 

And Put it into THIS!!! . . . . Wow!!?

Once the clothes were able to be hung up . . . It wasn't Too Bad. 

The Closet that I drew up, That mom and I constructed.

Where did it all go you ask . . . ?

Well, 6 garbage bags now overflow the garbage bins outside.

3 D.I. Bags. 

And 2 boxes of college stuff went in the attic. 

Who knew I had such nice carpet?! Isn't it just lovely!?

It is completed! And it is SOO Clean! I Love it! It is completely organized and Clutter Free!

And the best part is . . . . MOM's SUPER HAPPY It's Done to! And now, WAY Happy That we are Home! Yay!! Love you Mom! Thanks for putting up with us!

I PASSED MY NATIONAL EXAM!!

After 7 grueling hours of testing this morning . . . . 

I passed the Practical Portion of my National Exam! 

Just one more written test to go . . . .

 and then, I am a NATIONALLY REGISTERED PARAMEDIC! . . . THE HIGHEST LEVEL YOU CAN GET IN THE EMERGENCY FIELD. 

 and I get one of these shiny numbers: 

I can not wait for this past year and a half of endeavor's to finally pay off with a shiny gold patch! 

Awe . . . . I could just stare at that picture ALL DAY!!! It's so beautiful!

And I can't wait to get one of my own! 

Just 9 more days of studying and then a test, and hopefully I will pass the first time and not have to retake it. There is a 40% pass rate for the first time throughout the nation. yeeks. 

Also . . . I graduate in 6 days! 

If you are interested in attending, the commencement will be held:

July 23, 2010

at BYU, Idaho

at 5:30 PM. 

If you have more questions, welp, just ask, I'm sure you know how to contact me. 

DOOMS DAY!

So, There is a fire a blazin South West of Rexburg. And cast THE COOLEST Lighting. So, I seized the opportunity and went and took some pictures.
Also helped that I couldn't find my lacrosse banquet tonight. . . woops. My Bad. But, It was a much needed awesome break! And I am way happy with how these turned out!

Now, The Un-Edited Pictures of the Day:

National Registry Exam

So, I take the first portion of my National Exam on Saturday to officially become a paramedic. Yes, NATIONAL EXAM. 
I am kinda just needing a little break from freaking out a bit, so, I am posting about it. It's kind of a big deal. And, I graduate college in 10 Days! 
Which means, I get to move back home next week! And I take my written portion of my National Exam on July 26 in Draper, THAT One!!! I AM REALLY SCARED OF. Throughout the nation, there is a 40 percent pass rate for the first time you take the exam. And you get 3 chances before you have to go through a refresher course. And then 3 more chances, and if you don't pass, well, you should either rethink your line of career choice, or go through the paramedic program AGAIN! . . . No Thank You! At least I will have been home for a couple days before I take that one.
Then the family will head on up to Canada for a reunion. And then, go work in the Dominican Republic for a bit, and then go to Africa with my Uncle, Dad, and Amber . . . hopefully everything will work out for that. 


Well, that was good to kind of take a break from homework, but now, I have to go and get back to working on it. After this week, I won't be so overwhelmed. 


Good news: 
My lacrosse team won the Championship. 13-7. I scored the first and the last goal for the game. 
My Frisbee team made it to the Semi-Finals, which was pretty good, considering we only won one game all season, and then the one to get us into the Championships. Really fun. And I get to go to my banquets tonight and tomorrow. So glad I played, it was so fun and worthwhile.
