Almost 9 months later...

Well time has really flown since my last posting. The last thing you read about me was at my graduation. Many things have changed since then.
1. I finished summer semester in Blanding and moved home the last week in June, I still had to go back down the next week to take the cheerleaders to Camp in Cedar City. When the week was over and it was time to say goodbye to them I didn't realize until right then how much I loved them all and the time I got to spend with them. Saying goodbye was extremely hard we were all hugging and crying. I never in my whole life thought I would be sad to leave that boring town, but in all reality I was extremely sad.
2. After(and during) cheer camp I studied about an hour or two a night for the next 2.5 weeks leading up to my state boards. I took them in Draper July 17th on a friday. While waiting for the office to open I got to see Josie Shumway. She had been in my LPN class. It was nice to see a familiar face. After taking my test I had to wait clear until Sunday night to find out if I had passed or not. You can pay like 8$ and find out online. I was at Kyle's house and he finally talked me into getting over my anxiety and to look and find out if it said Pass or fail. I entered all of my information and all that was left was clicking on the mouse to get my score. I couldn't do it. I chickened out and was going to close the screen and then Kyle clicked on it. I covered my eyes, I couldn't look. Then I heard Kyle yell PASS. I didn't believe him so I finally looked for myself and sure enough it said PASS. Next thing I knew Iwas crying and hugging Kyle at the same time. I then called my mom then sent out a text to the rest of my family and friends. That was one of the best days ever, after I found out. The anxiety from the whole day before I got the nerve to look was unbearable.
3. Once finding out I was officially a nurse I quit my job of working as an aide. Well put my notice in. Since the heirloom wasn't looking for a nurse I didn't really know what I was going to do. On my last day there I just happened to see my boss in the hall and she called me into her office and offered me a full time mon-fri job. I of course accepted and started that next monday.
4. Since then I've managed to obtain 2 other jobs besides still being at the pool. Which brings me to now. I started doing home health care for retired uranium miners who are now suffering long term effects of the uranium. Also when I lived in Salina I was a competitive gymnast and I heard about a gymnastics gym up here I went in one day and left with a coaching job and my niece in 2 day a week classes. So now I do gym 2 nights a week. Usually the pool 1 night a week. I have a pt here in price that I see a few times a week, and one in Payson that I drive up ever Friday to see. This is all after being at the Heirloom from 6-2 everyday. So trying to work all these jobs, have a boyfriend, 2 animals at home and my mom it keeps me super busy. So you can understand why I never blog :).
5. As for the future. I really dave no idea. Ill be applying for the RN program in Price,Blanding, and St. George. I won't know anything until about May. So I guess when I find out so will you! :)
