Updates...

So I moved to Provo about a month and a half ago to start my new job in the Intensive Care at Timpanogos Regional Hospital. I LOVE being in Provo again and most of all I love my new job. My coworkers are so supportive and encouraging. I have learned so much in the short time that I have started in the ICU. I have learned how to use new equipment; I have learned about new medications, and new diagnoses. I even got to go and watch an open heart surgery which was a dream come true. I have also been taking a new intensive care class which has been extremely educational. I have been really impressed with the hospital. Everyone seems really professional.
I have been enjoying the warmer weather recently. I have taken a few nice bike rides and enjoyed reading outside. I also recently learned how to index, so I am even getting some family history done. It has been fun spending time with Eric recently as well. We have done some fun things like the Festival of Colors which was a crazy Indian festival that we went to where they throw colored chalk up in the air. It was a lot of fun.
We were able to go home for conference weekend and it was a beautiful weekend. The weather was really nice and we were able to ride the new horse that my family bought! He is a big, tall, beautiful black horse and I can't remember his name right now.
In other exciting news we are headed to Hawaii in a week and a half!!! We are all so excited. We are going to be spending 10 days on Oahu and Kaui! I plan on taking a ton of pictures and enjoying every second of the trip. Hawaii has been my dream vacation for years.

Here are some pictures from the last couple of months:

 Skiing at Jackson Hole has become a yearly tradition and it was so much fun to have Spencer and of course Eric with us again! It was a beautiful day.
 Dad and Eric at Jackson Hole. I was so glad that the boys all had helmets this trip! What is with the tongue Eric?
 My good friends from Ogden, Melody and Lindsey. We had a fabulous weekend up in Tabiona, Utah with a bunch of people that we didn't know! We made new friends and had fun snowmobiling, sledding, dancing, and playing games.
The snowman we built up at Tabiona!
 Had a nice cross country ski trip with my grandpa, dad, and Nick, a friend that I met up at Tabiona.
