Busy busy!

This past week:

  • Was my friend Kaitlyn's wedding!  It was beautiful.  This was the first sealing I've been to since my own, and what a wonderful experience it was!  I'm so happy for Kaitlyn and JJ!                                
  • Was Kuzco's last round of puppy shots.  When examining Kuzco, the vet found a big huge infection on one of his toes!  Poor thing.  We didn't even see it because he has so much fur.  So now we have to rub ointment on him twice a day (he hates that), and give him an antibiotic twice a day (he loves this part, because it tastes like vanilla). 


  • Was my last week of chemistry, and I got an A out of the class.  Hooray.
  • I had my first clinical.  Oh boy.
  • We taught our first primary lesson.  (Actually Cord did, and he did a great job)

Kuzco's new dog tag!  Cracks me up.

Love this little guy!

6 Months!

First off, I know I said I'd put up pictures this week, but I didn't take any!  Fail.

I finished my CNA class!  Well, the class portion.  I start my clinicals this Saturday.  Needless to say, 12 hours a week just opened up for me.  I desperately need this study time.  My chemistry class ends this week, and then I'll be left with just anatomy and physiology.  Thank goodness!

I had the opportunity to attend a friend from high school's baby's funeral.  It was so hard!  Definitely the hardest funeral to get through that I've ever been to.  How comforting to know that they'll see him again!

We celebrated Father's Day with both of our families.  We are lucky to live so close to both of them.

Cord and I have been called to work in the primary!  It seems like we aren't going to have our own class though; all we did last week was sit with a really big, naughty class.  So I guess we are just there for moral support?  Oh well, it will be a nice change from relief society... heh heh. 

And although we did absolutely nothing to celebrate it, we reached our six-month anniversary of our wedding on Saturday!  Congratulations to us.  I can't believe it's already been six months, time has gone by so quickly!

Nursing Entrance Tests... Done!

Yay!  I was nervous, but I passed!  Apps are due on Friday, and then no more worrying about it!
School is crazy lately.  Of course.  I had a test every day this last week.  If everything goes as planned, I'll be done with my CNA class this week, and chemistry will be done in two weeks. 

We are loving little Kuzco!  His favorite thing to do is go outside and run in the grass.  We took him to the park this last week, and it made his whole month. 

I need to start taking more pictures!  Ever since we got married, I've gotten so lazy!  That can be my goal this week, take more pictures.

Cord and I are starting to look for a new apartment for the fall.  We want to find something cheaper and bigger! 

I wish I had cooler stuff to say!  Maybe next week.

Giving Up Sugar Is Really, Super Hard

Like really.  You have no idea.  So far I'm failing. 

School is real hard still.  I had my first physiology test this last week, and I did better than I thought I'd do, but not as well as I would have liked.  Not excited for my anatomy test this week. 
This week is gonna be crazy school-wise.  I have to go to a four hour CPR class.  Four hours?  Really?  Oh well.  Sounds like I'll be quite the expert.  On Friday I have all these nursing entrance exams to take.  Literally I think it'll be an all day thing.  Yay!

We are loving our little Kuzco puppy.  He's super crazy, which makes him super funny.  He's barking a lot now though.  No bueno.
Wow.  I sound like a parent about my kid. 

My little brother Garrett graduated from high school this past week, so I went to graduation with my parents and sister.  Last high school graduation for a really long time! 

Oh yeah, I forgot Memorial Day.  Cord went on a motorcycle ride with his dad, and I basically watched a season of Scrubs.  That is a really good use of time.  That evening, my parents took us and Garrett and his girlfriend to dinner and then to Boondocks to mini-golf and bowl.  I'm not sure which one I'm better at.  And by better I mean worse.

I am really excited for the end of this month!  Stuff happening:

  • My friend Kaitlyn's wedding!  I am so excited and happy for her!
  • St. George trip!  You know you're a real adult when you are this excited for a quick weekend getaway.
  • FOURTH OF JULY!  aka, best holiday ever.  besides Halloween.
  • I'll know whether I got into nursing school or not!!  
  • I'll probably start looking for a new job as a CNA.  Why did I include this in exciting stuff??
