Wow this summer has gone by extremely fast, with the help of school it seems like a blurr, hopefully that will be the same for this winter when I take classes this fall. This is going to mark the longest stretch of time that I am going to go to school since high school, it feels pretty weird, but I'm excited. I had a blast this summer with my classes, all of my teachers were really laid back, and relaxed (thankfully since the start of my semester was a crappy one with me getting sick and all) and they were all easy! My biological anthropology class's teacher only wanted 5 one page papers throughout the semester and if you went over one page you were docked points, and only 2 tests which were easier than high schools tests, and that's pretty much the example of how my other classes were. So hopefully I did a good job in picking out my professors for this fall and they will be just as enjoyable.
On a sad note in July my family lost a long time pet and best friend Roanie, he was in our family for 20 years, he was 30 years old and he had a tumor in his jaw. My dad was too emotional to be there when the vet came to put him down so my family asked Nick and me to be there. I'm going to miss my riding buddy................

Okay its been awhile I started school for the summer semester and I just haven't had the time or if I had the time I was so burnt out from school to really feel like typing, but here I go.....What's happened since March, well I found out I was pregnant around the end of April, I was about 6 weeks along and was in a lot of pain and I started bleeding more than normal so I had to be taken to the ER (first time ever) and they did and ultra sound and said that it had to be aborted because was an ectopic pregnancy, which is where the fetus attached itself to the fallopian tube and was growing and tearing it and if it wasn't taken care of my tube could rupture and I could bleed internally and most likely die. They gave my two options that night; I could go into surgery immediately and either remove my whole right side of my ovaries and tube or try and save that side and go in and try to cut the fetus out of the tube in which case I would have scaring on that tube which would highten my risk of having another ectopic pregnancy again. Or they could give me a chemo therapy shot to kill it, so I opted for the shot and the doctor only okayed my choice after asking my how far from the hospital I live and when I told him that I just lived down the street he felt comfortable with giving me the shot, since I was at a high risk of my tube rupturing which if you don't pretty much live right next door to a hospital means death. Well the shot was a success and I didn't need surgery (thank heavens)............so on that happy note

moving on into May I took a rock climbing class at Weber which was just a PE class that was 1 credit and the whole semester class was a three day camp trip to the City of Rocks and I had a lot of fun climbed big rocks. At the time I was terrified and about to cry but now that its over I look back and am proud of myself for not backing down and facing my fears and actually doing something I would normally not do.

Now just this week at the end of May I wasn't feeling all that well and I started throwing up, now I hardley ever throw up and if on the rare occasion that I do I feel immediately better after doing it, well this time wasn't the case I woke up a four days ago Monday morning around 6 am and started throwing up so bad that my whole body was spasming and I was doing that up until 9 Nick took me to the ER ( I guess I'm trying to set a record) when I couldn't even keep water down and I started to get dehydrated. The doctors poked me and did some tests found out I have gastro intestinal infection and inflammation of my large intestine so its just something that has to run its course and so here I am now feeling a little better but I get tired very easily it sucks especially when I'm trying to focus on school and trying to do good. So here it is a new month hopefully I'm already at rock bottom and nothing could possibly get any worse so it will only be better from here on out.

Singing is for the birds

I recently got a job interview a couple weeks ago, THE FIRST ONE IN 11 MONTHS OF APPLYING PLACES!!! It was for Cold Stone Ice Cream.....ugh well it was more like an audition. I was so pumped and excited, only to have my excitement deflate rather quickly upon entering the store for the (what I thought) interview. There in the middle of the store was 14 chairs lined up and filing up quickly with awkward high school kids, "okay " I thought "No problem, they'll just take us in a backroom for a private interview".......NOPE they had us sing, that's right SING!!! Now for those of you out there that know me I don't sing and if I do......well you just don't want me to sing. Anyways sorry I'm getting ahead of myself, I have only been to cold stone one time and that was like 8 or 9 years ago when my sister Rahndi was going to school in Logan and I was there hanging out with her. SOOO back to my story since I've only been there once I had no idea that employees have to sing for their tips............now I will just tell you now that I can't just burst into song at the drop of a hat (tip) like some Disney character, to a stranger no less.......so there I was sitting amongst the nervous kids feeling rather ill myself but I was going to stick with it, I need a job and I will not let a potential job slip away just because I didn't want to do the "interview". The manager of the store gets up and states that she would like us to sing once by ourselves and then one more time in groups having 5 min to come up with a song tune but replace the original lyrics to stuff that has so do with Coldstone and Icecream. For the LIFE of me when I sat there waiting for my individual tern to come I could not think of a song, well I could think of song titles, but couldnt think of more than two words in the song or even the tune, finally my turn came and I stood up there and I finally had to ask for a request from the audience one of the people said "YMCA" okay sweet I can do that no problem.....well the only words I knew was the "IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE YMCA......ITS FUN TO STAY AT THE YMCA-A................." and that was all...need I say more I didn't get the job but I honestly don't care, that was by far the most awkward embarrassing interview EVER... So if your ever considering a job at Coldstone be prepared to SING!!!!!

Yay it's a new year and hopefully everyone had a great time. I had a fun Christmas though I did get sick with a sore throat Christmas eve :(. I did have a wonderful time with mine and my husbands family, I especially had a lot of fun playing wii for the very first time. My favorite is the tennis I'm not very good I just swing really fast the whole time even when the ball is not coming towards me so my person on screen is spazzing out, it's pretty entertaining though my wrist was killing me afterward. I took some family pictures of my Jamie and Chantry and their little ones here they are I'm practicing my photography skills, who knows it might be a career. Here are the pictures................
