Long time no see!

Been quite a while since I been able to update the blog. We have been so busy! And there is much to update so this might be a long one!

My semester has been a happy one so far. I only have 2 weeks left of my community rotation and then I move on to critical care, which I am pretty excited about. I have done clinicals at a cancer center, a slaugter house (ya, a slaugther house, I got to see the WHOLE plant too...poor cows, but I sure do love hamburger), home health and hospice and our campus medical center. I have enjoyed all my rotations so far. I have also been working on a project with my partner Christina for the past 4 weeks. We had to research Hyperlipidemia and create a booth for a health fair we will be doing for the homeless population at a shelter next week. We created some pretty nifty handouts as well as a pretty awesome poster that we are proud of. Here are some pics of our presentation day and some of the other groups posters. We also made goodie bags to hand out to the homeless. It was a fun day. I would rather do public speaking then take an exam!

Christina is 39 weeks pregnant now but has been in active labor for the past week. We weren't sure if I was going to be doing the presentation alone or not! She is due anytime! So we worked on our project together every Mon/Thursday after clas for the past 4 weeks. It was the least stressful project ever. Christina was the best partner I have ever had for a class project! One day we were heading to hobby lobby to get some materials for our project and to get materials for a mum for her door when the baby does come. We heard that Kat Country was giving away a pair of tickets to the Monster Trucks. We went to thier location they were hanging out at but missed it. Someone had already gotten the tickets. Willy (the dj) said he would be in Canyon later that day so we had another chance. Well, I was staying in Canyon for most of the day because I was going out with Kendra (girls nite! Dinner and Beauty and the Beast musical at WT which was AMAZING). So I ran some errands in Canyon and hung out in the parking lot by Hastings across from campus, listening to the radio and doing homework. Around 4:45, Willy pulls right up beside me in his Kat Country truck. I rolled my window down and he started laughing, remembering me from earlier and I said "You couldn't have made that any easier!!" He handed me my tickets and we chatted for a lil bit. YAY!! It was a surprise for Cory and I told him I love him enough to hang out in my car for 4 hours to get him tickets to the Monster Trucks. Here are some pics from the Monster Trucks

Many of you have recieved my emails that announced I am now a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant! I am having alot of fun with it and enjoying running my own business. It is great because it is SOOO flexible and I am my own boss. It is what I make it. Its great! It has introduced me to some wonderful women that I spend every Tuesday night with (when clinicals don't get in the way!) We have a blast and it is so fun to be around encouraging women who have thier own business as well. I am going through "Stiletto Camp" right now which is a conference call new consultant training and I have "to-do" lists. If I complete all the objectives, I recieve a prize! I didn't realize how much I love winning prizes until now LOL. So far I have shared the Mary Kay opportunity with 6 women via conference calls with my director (Thanks to those that helped me!) and I won my pearls of sharing earrings and bracelet! Even a ring! I have also won other little prizes including a Mary Kay money bag! its so cute!
