Mental

I have been working at the local mental hospital since about January and this Friday is my last day. Today inspired me to write things I will and will not miss.

Things I will miss about my job at the mental hospital:
1. The other interns I work with
2. One of the patients who did "voodoo" on everyone and thought that he and I were having a dirty affair on the side (he was about 60)
3. The patient who has been in the hospital for over a decade and is one of the sweetest people ever
4. Getting proposals for marriage
5. Having 3o year olds color pictures of pooh bear for me
6. Getting to eat in the jail ($2 for a chicken basket!)
7. Being entertained by the patients who claim they are secret service or own the jazz
8. Feeling like I did something to help someones life
9. Helping someone to feel better or have a better day

Things I will not miss about my job at the mental hospital:
1. Hepatitis
2. Pee on the floor
3. Pedophiles
4. The smells
5. Farts/sharts
6. Diapered patients
7. Getting yelled at by patients
8. Cleaning up hepatitis blood

I am sure I could think of 100 more.... but you get the gist of it. It was a fun job and I really enjoyed it. It opened up my eyes to a lot of things and I am glad I had the opportunity to work there, but also glad to move on and get more experience for physical therapy school.

Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

We went with the Glynns and Chavez to Park City for Thanksgiving and had tons of fun. This is a pic of our amazing thanksgiving dinner. Jessica did an amazing job on the turkey and we all ate too much for our own good.

Thanksgiving wouldn't be thanksgiving without a classic cider pic. We told Jessica not to down too much alky cause she is prego, but she wouldn't listen. haha

Zach's job was to get the meat off the turkey, but instead he raped it. It was classic!
We spent most of the weekend feeling up on Jordy's tummy and feeling the baby kick. He is a tough little buggar! When she turns around, you can't even tell she is pregnant, it's amazing!

We made a trip to the outlets when they opened at midnight on black Friday. We waited in a left turning lane for about half hour to try to get into the outlets because there were so many people trying to get in. It was insane. The sales weren't all that great, but a lot of us had never experienced the chaos of black Friday, so it was a fun experience.

We went to main street in Park City to check out the shops and heard lots of screaming and saw cops everywhere. There were a bunch of people protesting fur. Jessica, Jordy and I heard them screaming, "You must understand, their blood is on your hands," and all looked at each other in fear. I had fur on my boots, and they each has fur on their jackets. Although it was faux fur, we weren't sure if they would drench us with red paint or spit on us. Jordy was brave and went first and although they didn't dump paint on us, we got some pretty nasty looks. We later realized that some of them had fur on their jackets and were wearing leather shoes. Go figure! It was an interesting experience nonetheless.

Brett demanded that we play dice until he won, which took about 5-6 times. He finally won and didn't even rub it in our faces too bad, I was so proud.

All in all, we had an amazing weekend and I am so glad to have such great friends. I feel like this is the last time we will be able to do something like this because they are both expecting babies soon. I am really excited to have friends with babies so I can hold them, but also sad because we probably won't be able to pick up and leave. Thanks for coming and making our thanksgiving weekend so much fun!

The next thing I have to look forward to is going to Florida for Christmas. I am so dang excited, I have to try not to think about it too much or I kind of freak out.

Thanksgiving Eve!

Brett's family had Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Eve because it worked better for everyone's schedules. Dinner was so great and it was really fun to see extended family. I got to hold an adorable baby, so that pretty much made my day! I am looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner again tomorrow!

Twilight!

Jessica, Jordan and I saw Twilight today!!!! We went to a matinee showing so we didn't have to wait in a long line. We got there an hour early and there was already a line, but we got a good seat anyway and really enjoyed our girls day out. I really liked the movie and want to see it again soon! After the movie, we went to Zupas and planned out our Thanksgiving getaway together in Park City. We then came back to find our three husbands enthralled with the BYU vs. U of U game. It was a great day!!!!

Please Santa!

THE END

Halloween Party

Everyone has been bugging me about getting a blog. I honestly don't think our lives are interesting enough for anyone to read about, but I will start with our Halloween party 'cause that was fun!

Brett and I were Marilyn Monroe and JFK. Some others were junkies, the great gatsby, the people from enchanted, cowboy and indian, and smores. We had a lot of fun exchanging white elephant gifts, eating chili, and mummifying each other. I think I have started a tradition!
