might as well add one more in my scheme of blogging...

Goodbye Katie T :( Katie is leaving the state of Utah and our awesome crew of co-workers for Oregon. She is going to be missed so insanely much that it hurts to think she's gone. I love love loved working with her, she gave hugs like a champion, and always put a smile on your face. I hope she has a blast in Oregon!

Katie is in the middle, Michelle G is on the left and I heart her too. I will kidnap her if she tries to move away... just kidding, but kinda not.

My brother helped me get dressed, notice the two different pairs of shoes, his idea. I may have been born in the 80s but I sure don't remember what I wore.

This is Sarah and she's my saving grace. Her brain is so full if knowledge it's insane. I heart her forever and am one lucky girl to have her as my post orientation mentor. Love her light blue eye shadow and my eye shadow to my hairline? And side ponytales.

This is Danni and her hubby Shane. She might have purchased her dress, jelly shoes, and bracelets for $5 at the Salvation Army. Danni was my main orienter at work and my goodness I adore her. She's superfantastic!

Love love love my danni!

My two Michelles! Michelle in the yellow started a little after me and can I say how happy I am she moved here? Michelle is one of the HCAs, currently in nursing school, who is AMAZING! I wish you could see the back of her dress, gotta love the puffy shoulders too!

This is from Halloween at the Sugarhouse house, Tigg and Shaunananana.
Meagan and my Fishy
Wilbur looks like his dad. I don't think he looks at all like my family.
Poops aka Callell aka Superman
Waiting to go on their Halloween walk. Scout is wearing the one my mom made Callell as a puppy and yeah she is full grown. His full grown cape always falls to the side, we're not sure why.
She wore this tutu last year and absolutely hated it. When I pulled it out this year she was wagging her tale. I think she knew she'd be told how pretty she was when wearing it and it made her happy to see it. Thanks to my sister Jenn for donating it to me for my dogs Halloween costume.
See she was totally relaxed

I think I might be bad luck

A week ago I got a call from my sister, she tells me Monkey wants to tell me something. So she hands the phone over and we start talking, I ask her what she had to tell me and she says, "I broke my wrist in 3 places at school today." Really really?!?! So far so good for her that she is not needing surgery and her break wasn't or isn't as bad as mine. She got a pink cast and she looks absolutely darling. I will post pictures soon.

Well there's November

I don't know why but for some odd reason I actually really really like the month of November. You would think with my addiction to the sun and warm summer months that anything cold and wet would be on my S list, but there is something about November that I love. Okay, okay yes Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays so that could be part of it but I don't think that is why. I just love November, I actually appreciate the fall colors on the trees. I love watching the wind blow the leaves off of the trees and the way the leaves fall to the ground. That's all.

Mel was right

I guess MWK was right in saying "You have too had things to blog about." So here goes:

We had to put Tilly to sleep on September 11. Can I say it was one of the worst days of my life. I couldn't even bring myself together to go with my dad to the vet. I suck I know, seeing my dad carry his limp lifeless body to his spot in the backyard almost killed me. My eyes were swollen beyond measure from all the tears. It was bad. But he is not in pain anymore. I keep having dreams that he's alive and happy and his old self and I wake up looking for him, only to realize it was a dream and in reality he's gone. I know lots and lots of people don't love, or even like cats but this cat was one of the most amazing cats ever. He would come when I would call his name. He acted more like a dog than a cat in the sense that when I was having a bad day he wouldn't leave my side until I calmed down. If I ever had a guy over he'd come out and sit on my lap and just glare at the guy, on occasion if he liked the guy he'd leave. Tilly had the most amazing emerald green eyes, they were gorgeous.

He was utterly amazing and I miss him so much. I cannot get my scanner to work with my laptop so I'm not able to get a picture of him on here yet.

Let's see other stuff, I've been working as a nurse again!!! I have been back at it for almost 2 months, although it seems like more, and I have had some of the most amazing patients. Honestly I had some of my very favorite patients, I've had some who I've cried with, some who I've laughed with, and then some who I've been glad to say goodbye to but through and through going through the whole wrist saga has helped me appreciate what I do and my co-workers even more than ever. I am grateful to still have my hand, when Dr Sullivan told me that we had to operate that night (the 2nd surgery for the infection) he pretty much had me freaked out to the point that I was thinking I was going to lose my hand. That is one of those experiences I

never wish to revisit. P.S. I'm still mad Sullivan moved away. I mean adding the part that I had 3 different orthopedic surgeons operate on me in 5 months does make the story a little bit cooler, but really he was the best of the 3. He was straightforward, honest, and was a just a great doctor.

Two of my sisters are pregnant. Mary is due in December and Sara is pregnant in February.

I went to the zoo the other day with my sister Jenn, her girls Monkey and Bugs, and my sister Mary's son G-Monster. I decided another career I would love would be working with animals. I know the communication is not the same, but seriously I love animals. Minus most of the reptiles, alligators/crocodiles/snakes= gross. Seeing the tigers made me want one, well I really want a lion but a tiger would be so cool too!
