Mother's Day

Happy Mothers Day to the BEST mother in the world! I just wanted everyone to know I have the best mom there is. You might try to argue, but it's just not worth it. She surpasses ALL. I hope that someday I will be able to be as good of a mom as she is. This weekend was fun. We went on a hike on Saturday up the Red Mountain in Ivins. It was quite the adventure, but way pretty when we reached the top. We got half way up and reached cliffs. We scaled around the rocks and finally found a place we could climb up and keep going to the top. My mom was right there with us the whole way. I hope when I'm 46 I'll be able to do hikes like that. Sunday was a day full of family. We ate dinner with Grandma Gubler and dessert with Grandma Pierce. I'm so thankful for what great grandma's I have. They have done so much for me and always supported me. Happy Mother's day to all of you wonderful mother's, especially mine!

Needles!

I gave my first injections today! I went to school today thinking the only thing I would be injecting was a grape. So we had class this morning and we started injecting grapes (it's supposed to feel pretty similar to the tissue in the mouth). My teacher then starts to talk about when we inject each other in the afternoon. My heart dropped. I wasn't mentally prepared to give or receive an injection from my classmates today! I started to feel like I was having heart palps. ha We got into clinic and I got to observe first. That made me feel a little better, then it was my turn to give the injection. AAAAH! I was all calm at first and slowly started to get the shakes. As my hand was shaking I began to get more nervous. I just went for it and it was over so fast! ha After all of that stressing it really wasn't that bad and ended up being kinda fun. My pulse was taken after and it had gone up to 89! Skye injected me and did a great job! I'm so glad we all get to learn together. I never thought the day would come when I'd be giving injections. It's so exciting!

These were the CuTeSt, TiNiEsT, little baseball players I've ever seen. My nephew Cam is on a little T ball team. They are all 4 or 5 years old and they love it. Cam was so excited to be number 5 because he's "going to be 5!" They would get up there and hit it as hard as they could off of the Tee and then just run until one of the coaches told them to stop. There's a coach(dad) on each base, and sometimes in between to steer them in the right direction. When the other team was up to bat, the ball was hit and every little boy on the field would run after it. It was so funny and so cute! What would we do without little nieces and nephew to have fun with. Good job Cam!

HaLf WaY dOnE!

Well I've officially made it through one year of the dental hygiene program! It feels so good to be this far. It's gone by fast, so I hope the next year goes just as fast. Last night I attended the pinning ceremony for the girls that are graduating and it made me want to graduate SO bad. This past year has definitely had its ups and downs. Some nights I'm way happy because I don't have very much studying to do, or maybe I did good on a test(pretty rare :)), and other nights I've been completely stressed and crying and had NO motivation to do anything with myself. It's a good thing I have such a good husband that makes me dinner and takes care of anything I need, so I can just study my brains out! He is the best! I think he'll be just as happy as me this time next year. Yay for dental hygiene!
