I turn 20 in a month!

I can't believe I am going to be 20. It freaks me out! I feel like I am not that old and other times I feel like I am much older. All the girls I live with are 19 or 20 so its fun we're all that close in age. Every year I feel so blessed that my birthday is around Thanksgiving. I love being able to see my family around my birthday especially now that I live away from them.

I absolutely love my ward. I have the best bishop he is so kind and loving and really loves the gospel and treats everyone like they are his own children. He once shared that his wifes patriarichal blessing stated she would have the opportunity to raise sons and daughters. To their surprise they ended up with 7 boys and 0 girls! She is definitely a "mom" to all of us and a very sweet woman.

Since I started working at the urgent care clinic there has been A  LOT of drama. It is finally coming to a close. The Doctor and owner of the clinic was caught video taping one of the employees undressing! They have proof and he was already on probation so he has gotten into a lot of trouble. He hasn't been able to practice or see patients and the media told the world that he was video taping patients, which is a much better story, so it was chaotic for a while. We constantly recieved calls from women who "knew" something was sketchy about him and most of them wanted to check to see if they were one of the  so called patients who was video tapped. Thankfully its died down and hasn't hurt the practice to badly. We also have some awesome nurse practitioners working there that has kept the place going. Bryan Adams has actually decided to buy and run the clinic which means I will no longer have to job hunt or worry about the clinic closing down!

School is kicking my butt I am so ready for this semester to be over. Its been a hard and tedious one; good thing it will only be harder next semester! I am going to be taking physiology, microbiology, bio-chemistry, and an intro to nursing course. Talk about science over load. It will all be worth it once I am in a nursing program and finally a nurse! I have to constantly remind myself of the advantages of school and becoming a nurse. My screen saver on my cell is of a white german shepherd puppy! Reminding me that as soon as I'm done with school I'll be able to get a dog. I also want to become a certified kickboxing instructor, join a soccer league, a womens golf league, learn spanish, and learn to play the acoustic guitar. So many hobbies so little time! I need to be a nurse already!

My really good friend Kieresten just started dating one of our friends a few weeks ago and they are already talking about marriage! Its killin me they have literally only been dating 3 weeks. Provo... I solemnly swear I will not be one of THOSE people. And you can quote me on that. Oh and it started snowing this week. It is sooo cold! I hate the snow I am dreading it already. I have to commute 45 min to school every day and I will have to leave even earlier once the snow really hits. Bummer.. only 2 more months of that ghastly commute.

I just want to also take a moment to brag about my incredible sister since both her and my parents are horrid bloggers! She just made the lead role in High School Musical as Gabrielle!! I am so proud I hope I will be able to see her perform. She is such a little drama queen I love it. She is also working really hard in dance and started jr high this year and has adjusted well from what I can see. Its weird to think about.. at her age my parents moved me from cali to utah and now they moved bay from utah to cali! I know for a fact she has adjusted better than I did, I don't do as well with drastic changes.

Thats all she wrote.

So lifes been pretty similar lately. School and work and more school. Then havin fun on the weekends!! I've been dating a few guys, and i like a few, but I'm just having fun and loving every second of it. I love my friends they always crack me up and are just fun to be around! I've been working really hard in school its been tough but i know it will pay off in the end. My roommates are great I am so glad we all get along so well! Apart from a few of them being extremely slobby. I am seriously one of the cleanest ones in the apartment! (That is just SCARY) I miss my family a lot! I can't wait until thanksgiving it seems like its been ages since I saw them. I met up with Heidi Bischoff yesterday I seriously love that girl! I love that she lives in slc I wish we got together more. But not much else is going on in my life school, work, and gym are the main things and a social life when I can :)
