Just Kidding!

Things can change quickly. Thats a fact of life right? Not too long ago I got a call from Desert View Hospital in Pahrump saying they would like me to come down and work full time in the emergency room. I was thrilled! I had been trying to get down there all summer long and it was finally happening! The first day I could start was November first since I had to finish out the month of October at Central Valley Medical Center. So....I went to "as needed status" at Central Valley, packed up all of my stuff, informed my sister Lynsey should would be having a baby sitter pretty much whenever she needed, and drove down to Pahrump. I was moving into a house down there my dad's company has. It was the PERFECT situation. When I went into the hospital the next day to get all set, I spoke with the Emergency Room manager. She explained they had a rigorous six week training program. I immediately was a little nervous since I knew there was a possibility I could be going back to school in January. However, I had informed them of this so I thought it was all good. Plus, I had a while before I was supposed to know anything about school. Cross that bridge when we get to it. As I was walking into the HR manager's office I got a call on my cell phone. Here is the conversation:

Rob: Hi Jessica this is Rob from Weber State University. I just wanted to inform you that you have been excepted into the RN program starting January.

Me: Oh?

Rob: Since you live further south we were wondering if you wanted to complete our program at the DATC campus in Kaysville. This program, unlike the main campus program, ends in August. The main campus program breaks during the summer and ends in Decemeber.

Me: So, I would be going to school closer to Salt Lake and I would finish earlier?

Rob: Correct.

Me: Yeah, Rob you can go ahead and count me in. I'm super excited!!

Ope...there pops up that bridge. So with the ER manager, the Administrator, and the Human Resource Manager all present I discussed my dilemma with them. I knew the ER manager (her name is Mary) because I had worked with her when I was in Pahrump before. They were so wonderful so congratulate me and said they would be more than happy to keep me here till school. However, I understand there is really no reason to train me for six weeks just so I can leave two weeks later. So...I thanked them and spent the next four days hanging out with my mom, sister, and kiddos. Then I moved my entire closet back up to Utah. Oy Vey.

Pretty much what we did while I was down there.





All my crap in Pahrump......



Same crap in Nephi.....four days later.....



Honestly, everything worked out perfect. I'm starting school in a great program closer to where I will be living and finishing earlier than I had expected. BUT....I was soooo excited to be close to Lynsey and her family for the next two months. I walked into her house after I found out and totally started crying. I miss them when they aren't here and I wanted nothing more than to be crashing on their couch, tending the kids, and just bumming around with my sister.


So.....I literally drove back down like the next week lol. It was Randy's birthday (shout out to Randy!!! Love you bro!) and Lynsey wanted to take Randy out just the two of them. I went down to babysit the kids. Since I kinda quit my job and just pick up shifts whenever someone calls me, I've had some free time on my hands. I drove down Friday after work and stayed till Tuesday. Had a blast. Thanks you guys for letting me stay, feeding me, and hanging out with me. I truly cherish our relationship probably more than I tell you :). Love you!

Wouldn't it be awkward if Lynsey didn't read this post??



Here are some pictures from the trip. I feel bad I didn't get one with the birthday boy or my sister. Woops.
These kids....seriously can't stand how cute they are!



Ava and I made some delicious cookies in some super cute aprons.





The night Lynsey and Randy went out we all snuggled up in our PJ's, watched a movie, made paper airplanes, and just played like crazy. I also painted Ava's fingernails and toenails. She picked the colors. Toenails were pink, fingernails were light pink. Shocking.



Little dude man....








Kai had a little bit of a cold in his chest so the pediatrician recommended they give him breathing treatments fours times a day for a couple of days. He kicked and screamed the first few times. When he realized he got to watch cartoons and have a treat during the treatments, he really came around. Cute Huh?





Lastly, I would like to make note that I am fully aware my eye brows are SUPER dark. My mom and I dyed them right before she left for their cruise. I think we'll try medium brown and not dark brown next time. So yes, those are in fact my eyebrows not caterpillars on my face. Geez.....
