So a ton has happened since I last posted. For starters I finished my 2nd semester in nursing and I passed all of my classes when I was worried for a while. I have now lost over 80 pounds. I turned 21. I got a ton of experience as a nurse in clinicals starting IV and all. The last month or so has been extremely hard but so totally worth it in the end. I did not get all A and Bs this semester but I got a B in Maternal Nursing and a C in Med Surg, so I am happy with that. I am home in Malad for about a month before I have to start school again so I am glad for a break. I went camping with my family in Declo in our RV. Let me tell you that is the best way to camp with air conditioning. It was great. We went to City of the Rocks. We also went to the Twin Falls Temple Open House. I am so excited for it to open I will have a temple 5 min away from my apartment for my last semester at CSI and in Twin Falls as of my plans right now. We had a blast. I have never been to city of the rocks before it was way cool. It was even better that I was able to hike a little which is a ton more that I have been able to do in the past. It is so amazing how much better I feel after losing a little weight. Tonight I am going with my family to see the Osmonds with the Mormon Tab down in Salt Lake for the Pioneer day concert. I am so excited I will let you all know how it is, and most important Me and my mom and doing something that I have wanted to do since I was 10 years old and it is.
ON OCTOBER 10 WE WILL BE GOING TO SEE REBA LIVE IN CONCERT!! I am so totally excited and I am telling everyone.

2nd semester LPN

So I am now in my 3rd week back to school. I really like what I am learning but I am so busy. I am taking 9 credits in about 6 weeks. I have 2 huge tests a week and it is so overwhelming. But I am passing at the moment. I just hope that it stays that way. I have been able to do clinicals at Family Health Services in Twin Falls. I got to do and see some thing that I have not seem before so that was cool, it was just slow in the office the 2 days that I was there. I learned how to do IV's yesterday and I did well. I got them all in the first shot, but on fake arms it is hard to know what it is going to be like on a real person. But I think that I will do ok. It amazes me how much busier I am this semester than I have ever been in my life I think. I spend 2 days 8 hour shifts at the hospital for clinicals, all day monday I spend all day at school and till1 on tuesdays and I still have to take 2 tests and study. My life is busy but I am enjoying every minute of it.

update

So I suppose I should update everyone since it has been forever, but the last several weeks have been really busy with me finishing my first semester of nursing and moving everything home for a few weeks till I move in with a really good friend in Hollister for our 8 week summer semester. It has been really nice spending time with my family for more that a weekend. My last 2 nursing tests I passed with flying colors and I got a B in nursing for the semester. I got an A in Nutrition and Activity by Contract. I got B's in Professional Concepts, and Human Structure and Function which is A&P. This is my first semester since elementary school that I did not get any C's at all. I am a C student and always have been. But I think it is because I don't have to do any of the dumb classes anymore. I am doing what I enjoy. I was so excited when I found out that I had got all A's and B's. It just makes me realize that I really can do it and I can do it without being a C student.
I am still losing weight and it amazes me how good I feel I actually have energy to do stuff now. I have now lost 75 pounds, and I am still losing. I am enjoying a few weeks home with my family and I start school again June 2nd. But untill then I don't have to worry about homework which is nice. I am actually reading book that are for fun, not nursing ones. So that is a nice change. Also later this week my brother Blake graduates from High School which is so crazy. I have now been out of High School for 3 years and it does not seem like it has been that long. As always if you have any questions let me know?

Hey I have now lost over 60 pounds and I am feeling great. I wanted to post some pictures. the pics in the green is before my surgury, the maroon is 40 pounds down and the blue and green is 60 pounds down.I will update you with everything else next week after finals.

So this las week has been pretty good. I am really enjoying the nursing program. We just had our last lab of the semester. We start clinical tomorrow and I am so excited. I really miss the working with people so it will be a nice change. Now that I know the basic skills of a nurse. I feel confident that i can work and act like a nurse. I am so excited I am actually living my dream.
I saw the movie Penelope las weekend with a good friend. It is such a good movie. It has great story line and was so much fun to watch. You don't see all that many movies that actually have a good story to it. I also went hiking through the canyons up here with a friend. It is such a beautiful walk and we just went on the paved trail. Hopefully this weekend we can take the trail. It is suck a cool walk and it will be fun to do it again. Well I will add more later.
