FINALLY DONE WITH EXTERN HOURS!

Today, was my last day of my externship. I can't believe it. I had to complete 180 hours of clinicals. At first, when I thought 180 hours? I thought it would take me FOREVER, but it took me exactly a month to finish. It actually went pretty fast. The only thing that sucked about the whole things was... I was working for FREE. Not fun at all. Throughout the whole process of the extern hours, I learned SO MUCH, from giving shots, appplying splints, cutting casts off, and taking out stitches. I think my favorite part out of everything was getting the Kindergarden kids ready for school. I would take their heght, weight, blood pressure, eye test, and then at the end of the physical, I would have to be mean and give them their vaccines. I cant wait to actually start working, (which will be June 30, after out Vacation.) It will be nice to start my own routine of how things will be done at the doctor's office.

Last night, my mom invited me to go to her Enrichment Night for Relief Society, and they ended up making the beaded bracelet watches. It ended up to be a lot of fun. It was a nice girls night for my family. My mom, sister and mother-in-law came, and all we did was chit- chatted and had fun! There was such a selection to choose from, I had a hard time choosing. I finally choose a pink face watch with pink, brown, and silver beads to go with it. My mom picked out the same one, since we both like pink and wear a lot of pink. ( We have the same taste, with most stuff)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Today we celebrated my Mom's birthday!(Her actual birthday is June 3rd, which she shares with her mom) We had a BBQ at her house, with my grandparents, and uncle and his family. It was nice to see everyone. It always seems when ever there is a special gathering, birthday, and holidays is the only time you really get to see your family. I wish we could have more time just to go visit extended family and to get to know them better Hopefully, we can make the time to go visit our families. I know usualy Sunday's is our time to go visit a different family member each week. It's usually the only time everyone is home and relaxing.
My mom is such a sweet lady. She will do anything for you. She loves to help anyone from cooking dinner for a lady in the ward who had a baby, making crochet blankets for her nieces and nephews, or for her friends. She also makes yummy chocolates at Christmas time. I love you MOM!
With, Case and I we really dont have much going on. The only thing that we are excited for is our trip to Key West, for Case's best friend's wedding. When we heard they were going to get married there, we knew we had to go down and make it a vacation. So, we leave June 22 and will be back June 29. I cant wait just to enjoy the sun and the beach. I really want to go para-sailing. So hopefully we get to go!
