Hello again.

May 1, 2011. The last time I blogged. I figure once a year is good enough, right? I know a lot of people use their blogs as their journals (which I think is a great idea) so I am determined to at least blog twice a year. There ya go. An improvement. So much has happened since last year....in fact, 12 months happened. I digress. A year ago I was starting my summer job at Platinum Protection (similar to an APX). Boy how I don't miss those days. Here I was, in fact.
I also spent a few glorious days in Wyoming, where one of my besties from Jerusalem got married. In fact, here we are.
You can take the girl out of cheerleading, but you can't take the cheerleading out of the girl.
That's a bear. And one of my favorite people of all time who is now serving a mission in Arizona. Loovvve herrrr. I promise, I do, despite the fact that her face is being covered. Oh geez. Oh, and the bear got pretty close to me, in fact, so close that we all started booking it to the car. I wasn't worried because as long as I wasn't the slowest one running, all would be well, right?
At the hoe down where I got jiggie with it. Stephen wouldn't dance with me, but some other kid asked me to dance and I had a blast!! Too bad I had to break his heart and let him down easy.
With the beautiful bride and roomies from Jerusalem.
What else happened? The dance company I am on has started picking up and my friend Christine and I did a photo shoot for it.
Apparently I was having a lot of fun.
I really am so grateful for Wasatch Contemporary Dance Company. Without it, I wouldn't be dancing. And while dance no longer defines me like it once did, I still love the adrenalin I get when I'm on stage.
Oh yes, I also had 2 important babies born. My nephew, Brayden Bird.
And Julia's baby, Hadley Kramer.
Nursing is still there and still awesome. I'm more than ready to get out there and save some lives. I applied for an internship at the VA hospital in SLC this summer in the ICU - so hopefully that works out. The money is superb and the experience would be grande. Nursing really is the perfect career, so I'm sorry for everyone who didn't choose it :) Jk, but really. I get to learn about the human body, poke people with needles, and serve others ALL DAY. That being said, I do get nervous about it too. The thought that my mistakes could potentially kill people is frightening.
But don't fret. I study. A lot. In fact, that's probably why I haven't updated my blog for a year. What else? Stephen is getting ready to take the MCAT.
And I couldn't be more ready for this to end. I may as well be a widow. But I know it will just get worse once med school starts. Hopefully working full time will keep me busy. Maybe I'll pick up a new hobby. Like learning how to balance on an egg.
That pretty much sums up my life in a nutshell. Oh yeah! We got a doggie pooh. His name is Goldie. You heard me right. HIS name is GOLDIE.
And I'm still married. To this guy.
And sorry some of my pictures are HUGE. It's been a while. Be nice to me blogging world.
