Epic

Ten days ago we experienced a monumental day in history. Me and my roommates decided we needed to document and take some pictures. If you are confused about why it was a monumental day and the pictures are a monumental....thing, then please continue reading. Sunday, October 10, 2010 at 10:10 am and 10:10 pm we took some pictures because this date and time will never happen again, so our pictures were taken on 10-10-10 at the time of 10:10, it was a beautiful thing as you can see.

We are pretty much hot at 10:10 am on a Sunday morning when church isn't until 1:00 pm
10:10 AM!!!
That night we all got together with some friends in the ward to play the card game "bang" I was exposed to this game in Washington D.C and now I finally understand it and love playing it! PS Eli has awesome glasses, that's why i'm wearing them...even though I couldn't see a thing.
Then, of course, at 10:10 PM we all had to get together for a group picture, and to top it off there were 10 of us there playing games that night! Can you say coincidence? I think not!

Happy 10-10-10 10:10am/pm day exactly 10 days ago!!!!

My new place

Basically I have been a horrible blogger as of lately. So after much persuasion from my family I have decided to update my blog. The main thing everyone seems to want to know is what my apartment looks like, so here it is:)

This is the view from my balcony
The cute living room
Me and my roommate Erica just put these pics up on the wall today, we both think we did an excellent job, and I think my brother Jon would approve :) We still need some more decorations, but that will come with time I think.
The dog under the chair protects us from burglars, and he doesn't shed or bark, it's wonderful:)
The amazing entertainment center, thanks to my sister Amanda!
The Kitchen
We have so much cupboard space, it's wonderful

The bathroom.....obviously
My side of the room. It is very plain I know, i'm working on saving up my wonderful pay checks I get twice a month to get a desk and some other decor.
While in Salt Lake I have had many wonderful opportunities and experiences. This picture was taken after going to the General Relief Society meeting in the conference center. It definitely was a fun/amazing experience. I also have been able to attend an institute fireside where Elder Anderson was the speaker, and shake his hand after word. Also, on my way out of the hospital the other day guess who I walked past?! That's right, Elder Scott! It was pretty neat, I already have shaken his hand and he was busy talking to some intense looking security guards next to him so I figured I would just let him be. I absolutely love my job! I feel seriously so blessed to be doing what I am doing. I also am starting to feel like a real nurse, yesterday I took care of 3 patients all by myself, for the most part, my preceptor helped me out a little bit. It's pretty cool though, the nurses carry these cell phones around so that people can get a hold of you, I talked to pharmacy, respiratory therapists, x-ray, as well as a Doctor (which was incredibly intimidating, i'm not going to lie about that). Pretty much I felt like a legit nurse, which is awesome! I love taking care of my patients and helping them out in any way I can. Life is so wonderful and as I care for these people who are facing cancer it makes me realize how many of us take life and our health for granted. We need to remember to enjoy everyday and live life to the fullest. :)
