Catch up time!

Sorry it has been a little while since I was last on here. So here we go. I passed my final and ended up with a B+ for the semester, not too bad if I do say so myself:) The holidays were good. Jerry and I inn keep at the Blue Boar Inn in Midway and as luck would have it we had to in keep on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. That kept us in town for Christmas. My Mom had to work on Christmas Eve so Jerry and I took my sisters and we all went and ate at the Blue Boar, my Mom's treat. It was kind of weird because the Blue Boar is considered fine dining and we are definitely not used to that! We didn't know what half the stuff on the menu was! But we all managed to find something we liked. After dinner, we went a picked up Jerry's parents to go look at Christmas lights around town. We dropped the girls off and then headed back to the inn. Christmas morning we woke up to find about a foot of snow on the ground, and it was still snowing! For as long as I can remember, we have gone out to Grantsville and Tooele to see my parents' families. Well, as you can imagine, all the snow cancelled those plans. It was seriously like a blizzard. We all got to talk to my brother Ryan, which was great. He comes home in September! We had Christmas with my Mom and the girls and also with Jerry's parents. I felt really bad because we didn't get to see my Dad. There was just no way to do it. He lives in Park City and he wouldn't have let us come anyways. We attempted to go over to my Mom's for prime rib Christmas Dinner, but got stuck on the street that goes to her condo. That was an adventure. You would think with all the snow we get in Heber the county would be better at snow removal. Truth be told, they suck at it. But, all in all it was a good Christmas. We spent the Friday after Christmas with Jerry's sister and her boy and two girls. It is always good to see them.

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day we had to inn keep as well, so once again, we just stayed around town. The Blue Boar always has a big New Year's Party so we were up late with all the noise. Jerry was sweet and helped the waitstaff clean up after everyone left. I was a bum and fell asleep at around 1. I just can't stay up like I used to!

The semester has started again. The first half will be busy trying to get all my independent clinical hours in. I have to do a total of 96 hours by March 3. I will be doing quite a few night shifts, which should be interesting. I get to work in the ER so I am excited about that. There always seems to be so much to do in so little time!

Perhaps the biggest news is Jerry has applied for a job at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. It is exciting and scary at the same time. We are wanting to move to Washington so this is a good opportunity. Hopefully if he gets it we will get discounted tuition. We would have to pay out of state, which costs an arm and a leg! The downside is the job starts on February 1, so he would leave and I would have to stay to finish school. I don't know how I would manage not seeing him everyday! It has been a long time since I have slept alone and I don't think I would enjoy it! As you can imagine, this is an exciting, yet scary time for us!
