Arthritis and Gray Hair

Them bones them bones....

(Picture from a Geriatrics Night we had last semester!)

This picture is about how I feel today! It was such a long day at work today! My bones feel like there is arthritis growing by the second! My legs feel like there should be Tedhose (compression socks) on account of the swelling in my ankles. Why are my ankles swollen? Because I sat down for a total of about 10 minutes today!! Ah! Don't get me wrong I love to stay busy, but today was a little too much. :) Just a look into the future I suppose!

Random, but I love love love this picture. Just wanted to share it!


I have felt very blessed this week at work, two new opportunities have arose and I am taking them both on! I am currently working as a CNA, but starting in March I will be working with the Activities department and as a CNA. This happened this past Thursday while I was talking with the Activities Director about the open position they had. I told her I might be interested, next thing I new she said she pretty much said she was putting me on the schedule for March. Just as I was getting used to this new idea, our Nurse asked me if I would be interested in becoming a Med Tech (so I can pass pills). This is something I wanted to do in the future, but wasn't planning on it this soon. So when she asked me I felt a little overwhelmed about doing all three! But I feel like where she asked me to, she must trust me enough and think I am ready to do it. I am excited to start and will hopefully be done with my book and training so that I can start working as a Med Tech in April! I am real excited about this new adventure!!



Also, I just wanted to say that I miss these two girls like crazy! I met them while in Rexburg, I love them dearly!

Until next time...

Dear Life, Slow down

Well life has been a little crazy lately! I am keeping busy with school and work; I am working anywhere from 30 to 40 hours a week! I am really enjoying my work though.

Christmas was great! I love being able to spend time with my family! I had to work Christmas Day in the afternoon, but was able to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at home. I am so blessed to be a member of this wonderful church and know the real meaning of Christmas and the 'reason for the season'. It is such a blessing to have this wonderful knowledge of eternal life...as long as I do my part. I am grateful for the family I have been blessed with, they are AMAZING! They have done so much for me, for which I am truly grateful!

School has started (an entire month ago!) and is in full swing! I am only taking 6 credits so I am not too stressed this semester. I am loving my classes, which is a great feeling!

Well that is the small update! I will try and get pictures, but words are all I have right now!

ps. I went to the doctor today and I have an ear infection!! Blah! zero fun!

California and an Update

Well life has been a 'little' crazy since my last post. Since then I have been to California (for Thanksgiving) and back, moved to Logan, registered for classes, paid tuition (barf), played, got the house ready for Christmas, played with my sweet Evva, sent packages, went to my sisters COLLEGE GRADUATIONS!!, received much needed letters, and some other things that can't or won't cross my mind. :)
Here are some pictures from California:
California was a great little trip/vacation!! It was only Tyson, my parents and I, but it was still good. We went to Pinole where my mom's brother lives. Pinole is just across the bay from San Francisco. It was fun to spend time with lauren and Nicole, and of course Tio tito and Aunt Sharon. I wish we could see them more though!



Me and my AMAZING Mother! She is so great to me, I
love her so much and truly and deeply appreciate all that
she does for me.


Me, Lauren and her lover boy Chris. Love them both!!


Me and Lauren, love her :)



Nicole, Lauren, and I. I miss them so much! Wish we
lived closer!


At Gabby's home, all of us (minus everyone that
wasn't there)!


Tio Tirso, my mom, Tio Tito (my mom's uncle and brother)


Cousins!


Lauren and Chris


The most nasty bathroom ever! We went to Coit Tower,
which is actually really cool and historic. But dang, the
bathroom was so sick! So we took a picture! :)


Me and Mariana(Laurens friend, love her) at the Golden
Gate Bridge lookout.


Lauren and I at the AT&T Park, where the Giants Play!
It was like 10:00PM and my tio asked us if we wanted to
go into the city. We just couldn't pass it up!


Me and Lauren, Again! :)


The Spread!! Complete with arroz con pollo. (Rice with
Chicken-it is a delicious Honduran dish!)


Aunt Sharon, Me, Mom, Tio Ricky


Me, Tio Ricky, Tyson


Me, Ricky, Tyson


This is for my best friend Matt! He is serving in Riverside
California, which is near Sacramento. This is the road
that the mission home is on...where I send all his letters!
So naturally I just had to take a picture!

Until Next time,

Love, Me
