Well...

I really am trying to post, I promise! ;) I'm having trouble getting any pictures to download from my computer. SO in the meantime I will do some other posting until I can get that fixed. We've had a pretty crazy year so far. In April we wen to see my sister and her family in Florida, but that post will have to wait for pictures. You can't talk about Florida without pictures!! That's just wrong, so more on that later...



I did my 8 weeks of summer slavery/clinical hours this past summer. It was awesome to get some consistent practice and saw some fun things. I love doing cases in the OR, that is awesome and most of the doctors are awesome about letting students see right in the action. I've seen two brain surgeries, and open heart, a full knee replacement, a femoral rodding, all sorts of stuff. It's awesome. I'll never be able to get over how really undelicate surgery is. It seems like Those guys just wack away at stuff sometimes, but then it turns out beautiful. I'm glad the summer servitude is over though. Only 7 months to go til graduation!!!!! I'm so excited, can ya tell? Even more so because only about 2 more for Evan before he graduates in December. I'm so proud of him for getting this done, it's not been easy but he stuck it out and has done a fantastic job--nice job babe!



Let's see, what else? This school year has been hectic juggling life in general. We're both working and going to school, doing church stuff, all that jazz. I'm the Primary President in my ward--which by the way is the most AWESOME calling I've ever had! These kids are so hilarious, but so amazing to listen to and learn from. Anywho, they never miss a beat, so you have to be careful what you say. ;) Evan just got but in as the 1st counselor in our bishopric a few weeks ago, and he came in to do the bishopric message in Primary last week. I told the kids he was really nervous so they had to be extra good. He told them a story from his mission and did a really cute job. Then I had sharing time, we were learning about how Heavenly Father always answers our prayers, but sometimes the answer is yes, and sometimes the answer is no. I told them a story about a little boy, and he prayed for things like getting ice cream for dinner instead of broccoli, but he still got broccoli and so thought his prayer wasn't answered. From that point on, the kids' answer to any question was "Eat broccoli!!" It was pretty cute.


That's pretty much it for now. If you have any suggestions about getting pictures to load, please let me know! Evan is on a flag-football team right now and has banned me from taking pictures to put on here. Something about an insult to his manhood or something...hehe OH, there will be pictures, I promise. ;)
