Hello Strangers!!

Let's not waste time talking about how I'm a terrible blogger and that all of you are so sick of seeing my white chicken chili and guiltless alfredo sauce.

Update:

I just finished my first semester at Georgetown University. It was really crazy busy/hard but I did love it (most of it). It is kind of fun being back in school mode and learning so much. Let's just say GU is def not BYU, I really do miss BYU. But I have made some good friends! I'm so grateful I meat some wonderful people. There are 50 of us in the program (with only around 5 boys). We are all type A personalities and the average age is around 26-27. I've actually had to learn how to back off and not freak out so much because I see how annoying it is and I just can't feed off of other people's anxiety. I do have a husband to come home to that would appreciate a happy/stress free wife.

Anyway, I graduate in December 2012!! (just 1 year away!!) I already have a job lined up at Washington Hospital Center (WHC) , through a scholarship program. they're paying for 80% of my tuition if I work for them for 3 years, which means I have a guaranteed job at the #1 hospital in the region! P.s. I would like to say BYU is a steal tuition wise, schools are NOT CHEAP here.

We started clinicals the 3rd week into school, which means I was with patients. Boy, I have had some awesome experiences. I had some patients who did not care for my help, which was fine. I had other patients who thoroughly enjoyed my presence and my help. Let me just say that the Word of Wisdom is truly the way to live. Don't smoke, don't drink alcohol or coffee, eat in moderation, and exercise and sleep. If you do these things, you will be healthy! (for the most part, unfortunately other health issues come about regardless of how health you are). Next semester I will be working on the Mother/Baby floor. SOOO excited!!


Andrew is going to grad school part time at American University for a master's in Public Policy. He enjoys it and is doing well!! He also has another internship and is in the process of looking for a job.

We love the east coast and the new friends we have made but we sure do miss all our other friends!! It's hard to find couple friends out here.

We will be in Utah over Christmas break and are looking forward to catching up with family and friends!
