Reason Is Treason

It seems that every post that I write that has anything to do with my bike is a sad post. Today follows that suit.

Morgan and I have been riding our bikes everyday lately. We have been trying to get at least 10 miles in a day. And really start our triathlon training. So today we decided to take a different path today. It was a really fun ride. About half way into it the road turned into a dirt road. Which is great since we are both riding mountain bikes. But my bike decided to be a jerk again. I was randomly thrown off my bike and directly into the path of Morgan. She maneuvered outta the way and missed running over me. Here are the after-effect pictures.

If that wasn't enough...here is a video of me riding my bike afterwards.

I walked the rest of the way. That is until I was rescued by Morgan. I love her.

Of Greetings and Goodbyes

I did it! I got the job! WAHOO!

Today as I was on my way to St. George I received a phone call from area code 507. At first I didn't recognize the area code, but I answered it anyways. Good thing I did.

When Morgan and I were in Minnesota earlier this week I interviewed at Immanuel St. Joseph's Hospital in Mankato. I interviewed for either a Surgical Aide or a Surgical Technician. Both jobs have a start pay better than a Surg. Tech in Utah...so either would have been great.

I was very shocked when I was offered the position as a Surg. Tech. I promptly said "YES!" It was quite hard for me to contain my enthusiasm. It really is an answer to prayers.

It will be hard to leave all my family and friends...but I am in desperate need of a job, so I will take it! They want me to start either June 21 or July 12. Depending on when I can get housing. It will be a challenge, but it will be great. I am very very excited to start making money again.

WAHOO!

Start Again

Well, I am done. I started in February, and it has taken 3 months to finish. But I am done.

I am super excited to now start on completing these goals. I set them all for a purpose. I wanted goals that would encourage me to stretch myself. I want to learn more about myself. I want to grow. And I feel that these goals can help me.

Wish me luck as I start working on them!

Sweet Talk

Well, today was an adventure. Or so I was told.

Possibly the funniest thing happened today when I came home from surgery. You see, usually when I come home I follow this routine:

1. Walk in the house, and put my keys away.
2. Acknowledge that Haylee is there.
3. Find Morgan and give her a hug and a kiss.

That is the routine. But today I thought that I would mix it up a bit. So I walked in and Haylee seemed very happy to see me. So I put my bags down, and pet her for a minute. Then went and smooched Morgan and sat down on the couch. The next thing that I knew Haylee was on my lap. She then proceeded to "talk" to me. She did her little piggy talk for nearly 3 minutes. Morgan and I just looked at her, and back at each other, and back to her. She was very funny. Some days I wish I knew what she was saying. Today would have definitely been one of those days.

Far Behind

Wow. I am usually very optimistic. And I started off that way. But look at it now, and you may have similar feelings as I do.

The Braves are last in their division. They started off so well! I am beginning to lose faith in them...

Oh well. It is still very early in the season. Maybe they will turn it around. Lets hope...

Fat Lip

Hahaha! Ohk...so that may not be the best title there could be. Oh well. It is somewhat applicable. Hopefully you'll be able to see why.

So my first week at the Oral Surgery rotation is over. It has been very very interesting. I have enjoyed it. The doctor is super chill. And the girls that work there are very nice and fun to work with. I told the doctor that I am working on going into dental school, and had thought about oral surgery a long time ago. And since then he has kinda taken me under his wing and explained everything that he does. It has been really cool. Kinda like I am his apprentice. It has been fun.

We have done quite a few different procedures during this week. It was weird at first to have the patient awake and conscious through some of them. I wasn't used to that at all... It's cool that there is the full dental side to things, and then the surgery side too. I have enjoyed it a lot so far. And the doctor said that next week he is going to have me do some procedures. Wahoo!
