Continuing to Love Life





So- with the countdown being only 9 days til I come home for thanksgiving break, I'm super excited as usual. Although I woke up this morning, okay it was 1051am, so basically the afternoon, and it was 3 inches of snow on the ground and still pouring. But I am keeping my head up and trying to look forward! Edward is doing fine, which I am sooo freakin grateful for! I was soo worried, even though it was trying to come up with my own diagnosis over the phone using my EMT skills. Tuesday- Wednesday I stayed up straight for 40 hours... I learned that you go through cycles when you stay up for that long. You are normal, then you get EXHAUSTED, then you get a second wind of energy, and then normal again, and it repeats this about 4 times, and then by the time 40 hours rolls around, anything and everything makes you cry, and once you hit the pillow, you are out within seconds. It was way fun to work in the ER at Madison Memorial hospital though! I loved the atmosphere there, and I would so want to do it again, but alas, I have no time, what with midterms this week and nationals coming up in 3 weeks... loads of studying to do, but I still find time to hang with my roommates and have a grand ol' time!

Happy Halloween!




Hey y'all!! I hope you guys had a great halloween! with all your candy and going around to strangers houses. I was here, in Rexburg, freezing my butt off... but no worries. I had a great time with friends, making caramel apples, watching Black Michael Jackson, and meeting great guy who is friends with my bff Kevin!!! Super cool! Overall, great night! So now, I'm waiting for next week when I'll be going to Salt Lake to my bff's wedding (I know the groom, which is weird because I never know the groom, only the bride!), and then I'll be coming home on monday the 21st for thanksgiving!!! Can't wait to see you all!!!

Hurry Hurry!!!





GAH!!! I'm soo ready to go home for a bit!!! Gracious! Rexburg is amazing, but still, wanting to see friends and family! Things are going good, the weather is great! Sunny blue skies, wind that blows a million crunchy leaves around, and its chilly--- and NO SNOW!!!!! (yet anyways). 23 days until thanksgiving break, so I'm super ready! Halloween being right around the corner, it really makes you realize just how crazy this place is! No J-walking, No trick-or-treating, No snowballs being thrown, Gracious! What kind of messed up place is this!? But Classes are going extremely well... I still love my EMT class... Now I'm just studying super hard for my national registry test on December 10th.. I know it seems far away, but it really isn't considering there is a week off school... so that means its in like 4/5 weeks! AHHHHH!!! Sooo much to study for!!!

Learning can be fun- right?






So- I've been super duper busy, with school, that I thought that I wouldn't be able to have fun times with my friends or with anyone for like ever!!! But, I learned this important lesson: Learning can be fun. I volunteered to get up at 5am (and to those who know me, I'd only do this for 2 reasons, cute boy(s) or its something I really enjoy- which there was both!) and I went to have makeup done so it looked like I had gotten run over by a car. Then, the nursing students were supposed to come, diagnose me, and save my life. Although, my teacher was right, they are idiots who don't know anything... because I died 8 times... JOY! I now am like terrified to go to the hospital just because I don't know if they'll know what to do anymore! Anyways.. it was fun. I had to lay on the freezing asphalt in 36* weather in a short sleeve shirt from 7am til 1pm freezing my... ass-phalt off... But I had 3 hot paramedics around me.. Sam, but he's married so I'm trying to get over him, Jed, who totally has a crush on me I think, and Colton who also seems to have a crush or likes to flirt with me. I swear I almost got hypothermia. Then this weekend me and my roommates all pulled our mattresses out of our rooms, and had a sleepover, which included popcorn, endless talks, watching a scary movie (the forth kind), and staying up way too late eating popcorn and being terrified. Loads of fun... though I do miss my handsome 3 men.. I must hang with them soon or I'll... dare I say it, turn into a girly girl! YUCK!!!

What a great trip!!






Oh goodness... whoever says that vacations can be relaxing is only partially right... before you leave its stressful to no end!!! So basically the car company never shipped me my card, and they told me 2 hours before we were supposed to leave for Salt Lake City that I couldnt have the car, even though I had already paid for it and everything! So I called Daddy, and he's truly the best man EVER!! Not only did he get me the car, but it cost me $60 cheaper, and I got upgraded to a nicer enterprise car. So we were off; Jason, Dallan and AJ to Salt Lake. The drive was going great, then we reached Pokey, and it started to rain... and this was like SCARY rain.. It was raining so hard that I was going 20 mph in an 80 mph road because I couldn't even see the lines on the road in front of me, and the rain was coming through the closed doors and windows and dripping on my feet. YA! So not cool!!! Salt Lake drivers aren't as bad as I always thought... they are like the same as Portland drivers. We made it to the concert, got some pictures, and then it all started. The first band was good, it was like a rock mariachi band. Very cool and interesting. Then Jason's favorite band, Caged Elephants, came on, and it was ok. I don't really get hard rock... I can scream into a microphone too- can I get millions of dollars? By this time the drunks were all there. There were 2 drunk women in front of us and they were everywhere. By the end of that act I was up to my ankles in spilled beer, I was hot and claustrophobic. Then, when the foo fighters came on and the mosh pits started, to the point where I was literally being thrown a few feet by drunk guys, and my group was everywhere and I couldn't fine them, I lost it. I left the concert, called my dad and mom crying in the car because I was having such a bad panic attack. I think my mom was having one too, because I was miles away from her or my safe home of Rexburg, and we don't really know anyone down there that we can call at like 1030 at night. But they called Elder Winkley who came and sat with me at Applebee's while the concert was going on. Then we made it to the Hullinger's house hold at like 1am, and stayed up talking to Papa Hullinger til like 230. We had breakfast with them the next morning, and left around 850am. We arrived back in Rexburg around 1220pm. Yes I did go like 90mph, but I wanted to get home. I went to classes, returned the car, then went to see Harry Potter with Jason and AJ. Overall, it was a really fun trip with my best guys! From singing in the car to Disney Music at the top of our lungs, to laughing hysterically at just the most random things. I love my boys!!! The next time that I'll be down in Salt Lake is for my bff's wedding!!! November 10th-11th baby!!!
