1. I have to make my bed every morning before I leave the house, or ELSE....
2. I eat every morning oatmeal squares with yogurt, blueberries and raspberries in it.  If I don't my day is completely thrown!
3. I lock every door behind me no matter who is  coming in behind me, habit or quirk. Sorry Dear!!
4. I have to get a new bath towel for my shower if any one uses it or even touches it, that drives me crazy, actually it grosses me out (slight OCD tendencies.)
5. The toilet paper has be coming out from the top, if not I change no matter who's house it is.  (I used to not care but my husband had this quirk and now it drives me crazy)
6. I squeeze the toothpaste from the middle and Curt squeezes it from the end and both of us drive each other crazy with the way we squeeze.  Problem solved: we each have our own tube of tooth paste, I have to squeeze it from the middle!!!

I feel like I have just confessed my deepest crazy secrets. :)

Funny Movie

Ghost Town, Now Playing!!!
Curt and I had a great date night last night, after my 12 hour shift (labor and delivery again :) and I loved it again) at the hopsital
and decided to go to Ghost Town, Bajio was our pit stop for dinner and then off to the movie.
The previews looked
funny but I just wasn't sure if all the funny parts were on the previews. We all
know movies that have been like that.
It was so funny. I was doubled over a few times. The starring actor
is the original guy that started "The Office" in London, he plays Michael
Scotts part in London. He is so funny.
So if you like the office, you will like this movie.
Five stars from us. If you want a good laugh go and see!!

Labor and Delivery

Wow what a day spent in Labor and Delivery. I had a 12 hour shift there yesterday and it was so fun. 3 babies and lots of Moms with the possibility of leaking fluid later.....the day ended. I loved every second of it and had seen 4 births as the comforter or family side but never with the view of the nurse, it was very interesting. I have had this as a possiblity for me to specialize in and am going to still keep that as a possibility, I really enjoyed it. I think that the whole birthing process is amazing although I was having a hard time imagining myself in that bed but I have a lot of respect for our bodies and the changes it goes through to bring that baby to this world and a BIG SHOUT OUT to all you moms, great job and what an amazing gift to be blessed with. Stay tuned for more crazy clinical stories :). Did I say I am loving this semester, anything beats med surg, I pray I spend as little time as possible there for the rest of my career.

NICU

It was my first clinical experience yesterday and I had the best time. I was kind of nervous because it was all these new areas we had never worked in ( so new nurses and different hospital) I showed up for my shift at 545 AM and got assigned to the NICU. I was so nervous. I didn't think I could handle being around sick babies and be able to care for them as their nurse. I was in for a surprise. The first hour our first little baby pulled out her NG tube (feeding tube down the nose to the stomach). So I got to put it back in (never had done one) It was awesome. The day turned out to be like that with all our babies, fixing things, putting things back in and also remembering all the feedings. 3 babies can keep you really busy, especially when they are all on the same feeding schedule :) It was the fastest day of clinicals I have ever had. And the more love you gave to those babies the better, it was so great. Briggs, my nephew, had been in the NICU for 8 days and some of my friends babies so on the patients side I had learned to appreciate the care that is given, but being the care giver was an amazing experience. The nurse I shadowed was so amazing, she believed in me and gave me more confidence and helped me understand everything. She was the best nurse I have been with so far. 1st of 12 clinicals done and a very good experience. Hopefully next saturday, Labor and Delivery, stay tuned.

Weekend with visitors

This weekend was so fun!! My parents and my grandma came down on Thursday night and stayed til Sunday. It was so fun to have them down. We got to spend alot time as one big happy family, minus Bubba (miss ya).

Dad, me and Heather started the weekend with a 25 mile bike ride, it was awesome. I hadn't been on my bike for a couple of weeks so it felt great! Then Saturday was filled with soccer games. Jake coaches two teams and Briggs just started his first year of soccer. It was so fun to have some games to go to again, we haven't been to watch family since Bubba graduated High School.

Then Saturday afternoon Jake Leigh and his family, Bubbas first trainer out in the mission field, came over for a swim and BBQ party. It was so fun to get to know him and his family and hear what he had to say about Bubba and the mission. Of course, intertwined with all the partying, the BYU game was watched and they thankfully won.

We finished off the weekend with a good time at church and yummy BLT sandwiches with tomatoes from grandmas garden. It was the perfect end to a great weekend. Thanks Mom, Dad and Grandma for coming down, we love it when you come.

Crazy but FUN weekend
