Update

Hiya everyone!
Sorry it's been so long...I just realized how long ago I last posted...basically a full month. ha.

Not much has been going on. Just been going to school, the singles ward, and having fun :)

Today I finished up my pass-offs for IV therapy...had to do one IV in the hand with the butterfly syringe (one with the wings on it) and two in the hands. My practices didn't go so well...I wasnt able to hit all of them. But today was pass off day and I was able to hit all 3 of them plus one practice all in one try! Very cool!

In the past month, 3 teenagers all my age have passed away (John Doucette, Jake Hawkes, and Hilary Peterson). Some I was friends with, others just acquaintences. All of them in different ways, all of them too young. But the one thing I've taken away from all of their deaths was that none of us know when our time will be up...so we need to live our lives without any regrets. Live life to the fullest, and enjoy every minute of it! That's what all three of these great teenagers did...they lived great lives!

I'm scheduled to leave on my externship on September 14th. Kind of excited. Not sure where I'll be heading yet...probably up to Budge Clinic. I'm way excited!

Anyways, just thought I'd update my blog...let everyone know what I've been up to. Love y'all!
