Long Time No Blog. . .

Wow, it's been a while, sorry everyone! I have had quite the summer so far with trips, school, work, and big events happening. I will just quickly share what's been up lately. . . .

So right now I am in Price. I just finished summer classes and passed off my IV certification today!! Does anyone want to volunteer for practice? :) They only have us practice on mannequins here and pass off on a computer simulator, so the first time I give an IV to a patient, it will be the first time ever on a human. . ! Scary thought huh? Maybe I'll have to talk some people here into being my guinea pigs.

The past few weeks I have been training for my new job as an LPN. It is at the assisted living facility that I worked at as a CNA here in Price, but when I got my license, they asked if I would like to take the LPN position there. I started all by myself last Saturday and will now be working a pretty steady schedule starting on Friday. It's a really good job. It definitely took some getting used to with it being new and everything, but I think I am starting to get the hang of it!

I will also be staying busy with my new church callings, but they are definitely the best part out of all the things I am doing now. I am a Relief Society teacher and 1st counselor in the Stake Relief Society Presidency. I love being in Relief Society, it has been probably my favorite calling. Being a teacher will definitely help me learn a lot too, that is something I've never been too good at!

So here I am in Price just working and getting ready for the RN program to start on the 19th. Nothing too exciting. But I just thought I'd update my blog, my mom says she's sick of seeing that little chipmunk! Oh and sorry there are no pictures. . . When I was on my trip in Nauvoo, I dropped my camera (mom and dad's old one) and the screen busted! So, I am pictureless until I start making the bucks with my new job . . . (jk, the big bucks aren't rolling in yet :)
