NEW ADDITION!

SO I FINALLY GOT IT! My brand new macbook laptop. It is pretty sweet I would have to say. I would thank Sarah and Andrew for helping me buy this computer because I don't know how I could have done with with my 20 hour work week!! I did get a refurbished one off the apple website, which has been worked over and has a new outside cover and everything, and I saved $200! It has the same warranties as a new computer so I think I got a pretty good deal!



This is me and Alex playing with the new camera... pretty hot huh? ( or not!)

And here it is! :) yea!!!

A little about life

Hello All,
I had an awesome week of clinical! I am now at Floyd Valley Hospital in LeMars for 7 weeks and I am having such a good time! They are very good at helping, teaching, and letting me have hand on experience with the patients. They have a large facility with so many different patients, so I get to learn a lot! They said next week they are going to put me to work with the treatment of the patients, which will be very fun because it will challenge me and help me learn. SO that is exciting.

Other than that my life is not to fun. Alex won an award for a newspaper, 20 under 40 regarding young business leaders around northwest iowa. It was pretty neat that he was awarded this honor! So my clinical let me skip some an go to his award breakfast. what can I say, I am dating a pretty motivated and awesome man!

To end this blog, since I have no exciting pictures, here is a song I really like!

Thoughts on a Friday

Last night I was talking with Alex about the future and different things and I stated that I really can wait to do things, like get done with school, get more stable work hours, get married, get a dog, and have babies. Then alex gave me a good reminder, to enjoy the moment I am in now while it lasts because I will never get this time back. It is so true though I am always looking to the future and never taking so much enjoyment in the here and now! Just a good reminder. It also goes with one of my favorite song, one of Diane's most favorite ( JUST KIDDING!)




I also found out I was going to have another nephew! I was surprised because now Sarah will have 4 BOYS! Sometimes I wonder why God did not just give her one girl, like it says in the Bible "Delight yourself also in the LORD: and he shall give you the desires of your heart." ... However, I know that God has a very better plan with the four boys than we can imagine. And think.. that poor girl would have to grow up with three big brothers.. !!

Well this weekend Alex's family and I are going to pack up to Spirit Lake and go to a huge indoor water park and spend the night at a hotel! It should be fun :) Hope you all have a good weekend!

Hello Everyone!

What a week!
I can say it has not been the best week at all.. but I am getting by.

First my dumb computer decided to die... the hard drive is gone. So I have to get a new computer. The problem is money. I was trying to decide if I should just go to walmart and get one of those 300$ discount Dell laptops and hope it lasts until I can get another one, or should I just bite the bullet and get a new macbook and just live really really really cheap the next couple months. I have no idea. It is so frustrating without a computer with school project due and with things I need to turn in left on that crashed hard drive ! AHHH HELP ME!!
:)

So I come to the library. It has an hour limit on the computers so yesterday while doing a paper I did not realize the dumb computer signs you out when your time is up! So I lost my whole paper I spent a long time doing and I was just so frustrated! AHHHHHHHH!!! Anyways.. I finally got the paper done. phw

Anyways.. that's it with the bad stuff... now for the good. I think my parents made it to Bangladesh.. I guess that they neglected to email their poor Rachel ;) However Sarah got one that said they made it there. So pray for them as they are in a different country doing their missionary work!

Yesterday I made Alex some corned beef and garlic mashed potatoes. Yumm! :) it was a good St. Pats day. I look forward to the day with a bigger kitchen and more room and supplies to cook! yay!

Anyways.. I better go... I only have 9 more mins on the computer!!! :)

I got forever on the tip of my tounge!

Wow, life has been busy!!! I finished up my first 7 week clinical with the sioux center hospital! It was a good experience and it was fun being so close to where I had to go! Now I have two weeks free, with three of those days having seminar at school. This week I think I am getting 16 hours overtime also so the bank would like that! Something else happened with a potential job however I will wait until I get more info to go into detail!

My parents are going to Bangladesh tomorrow for two months doing mission work so everyone pray they will stay safe. I will worry about them, but I also know God has everything under control and will provide safety for them.


Things with Alex are going well,,,, I love him so much :) He is seriously the best most awesome wonderful guy in the world! Next weekend I get to go to a large indoor water park with his whole family and stay the night at a hotel there. That will be a nice break after all the hours I have been putting in!

I think that is about it for now... my computer broke so that stinks:( I am hoping that it will fix itself in the next couple days,,, or else I will be at Dianes mercy to use her always password protected computer...lol


Hope everyone is doing well! :)

This song I just heard on TV and I think it is pretty catchy! I will post more later but its off to clinical I go! :) Have a GREAT day
