5 K run & U of U football

WOW. We made it! These last 3 weeks have been pretty busy. With BJ working full time and going to school full time and Christie starting the nursing program and working Friday nights...we end up staying pretty busy to say the least.
But things have been going really well. This is BJ's last semester until he graduates with a bachelors degree in computer science. I am so proud of him and this huge accomplishment. BJ just takes each challenge and shows it "what's what". He is such a hard worker and can do anything he sets his mind to.


The picture to the left is BJ and some friends from our ward right after they ran a 5K. He told me the night before the race, "I think I am going to run the 5K tomorrow." And it just did it. A perfect example of BJ doing what he sets his mind to.


As for me, the first three weeks of the nursing program have been quite an adventure. It was overwhelming at first, not knowing what to expect. But I am really enjoying it now. It took me a little bit to get used to studying all the time but now it is almost routine. I don't even know where to start as to what we have done thus far. The last week we practiced Baseline Assessments on partners, took a full health history (that was fun to see the looks while Nina took my "pretend" health history on the bus). Oh and we also practiced intramuscular shots on this cool flap of "make believe" fat. lol I really don't know how to explain it better than that. :D

But despite all the craziness we still had time to go to the first University of Utah football game. It was a lot of fun. I am a BYU fan at heart but BJ thinks I might change my mind after this season. I Cheer for U of U when they aren't playing BYU so we will see when that infamous BYU vs. U of U is here.

Sounds like you are doing well. i'm always happy to hear that. I hope that B.J. can convert you fully to being a Utes fan. It's the only type of fan to be!
