Updating... finally

I had a late breakfast today with my cousins Andy and Pam and my sister and her husband. It was so nice to get together and chat and Tiff reminded me that I haven't updated my blog in quite awhile and she checks it everyday....so sis this is for you!

School is going great! I am in my 4th week in the 4th term. Only 16 weeks until graduation! I can't believe it is so soon. I started clinical internship 6 weeks ago and I have really enjoyed it. I give comment cards to my clients and I am always grateful for the comments I receive which will help me be a better therapist. I have started thinking about where I would like to work after I am finished with school. I will just miss the ski season in Utah which is a good time to be working because you can make a lot of money but I am more interested in building a client base while I'm learning more about structural integration and cranial sacral therapy so missing ski season isn't such a bad thing. I have considered working for a chiropractic office and/or renting a space in an office. I would also enjoy working as a teaching assistant at UCMT after graduation as well. Sharing my excitement for the work with future massage therapists and live the excitement of school all over again. I am very fortunate that UCMT has recruiting visits on a very consistent basis so I have the opportunity to interview for jobs frequently when the time comes.
Part of the decision for where I will be practicing will be determined by some other things going on in my life currently and other decisions to continue my education in nursing. I have met the most amazing man, JD Nielson and we are discussing marriage after I graduate in March. He lives in Pleasant Grove and works in Orem as a computer programmer. He is so supportive of my educational goals and I couldn't be more grateful for that. He encourages me to keep going on days that I have just had enough and want to scream because my schedule is overloaded. He actually came over tonight to take care of me because I have a head cold that is messing with me and I stayed home from class so I don't spread my "wealth" to the people in my class. He is just wonderful and everything has been so easy with him. I'm not sure how describe it besides saying it is easy. We can literally talk about anything and he is so mellow which is a good match for my sometimes high strung personality. He is going to be meeting Tiffany and Ryan on Saturday afternoon and the rest of my family in a couple of weeks at my cousin, Chad's wedding in Idaho. I will get to meet his family the following week at his family Thanksgiving gathering in Las Vegas. While our relationship has developed quickly I can only say when you know, you know. I'm sure everyone is thinking...well let's see a picture of this fella that is so wonderful. Well I would love to take a picture but my camera was stolen when my apartment was broken into about a month ago so until I get a new one...no pictures....sorry!

Until next time...
