updates

Update: My cast is green. I had a blue one. yep.

Also, i found out about my spring/summer and fall/ winter internships..... in will be interning with the State Prison (doing therapy on the mental health unit.. i think.) during the summer, and at the Family Support and treatment center during the school year (doing family therapy). It'll be interesting and I imagine that I'll learn a lot. so, yea! I'm excited. So, when the kids at work complain that they fell like they are in Prison I'll be able to confirm or deny the reality of their statements.

hmm.. i think the rest of my life is the same.

Minneapolis

well, I'm in Minneapolis for a GSS conference so.. i thought I'd blog a bit. Um the conference has been fine... we've met some neat people.... and last night the presidency ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, and tonight we went to the Mall of America... which really is huge and really does have an amusement park in the center.... and we ate at the Rain forest cafe. umm.. lots of good food, and I think I'll be full for the next week at least. hmmm...anyway, here are a few pictures.

Update. Well, no new pics due to a broken laptop ( Don't ask). but the latest update on me is that i broke my wrist about 5 weeks ago, but now have it confirmed. So I'll find out on Tuesday if i'll need surgery for sure. The doctor was pretty sure i will though. merr. Anyway, schools going well and life is otherwise good.

hmmm...

Well, i've had a few adventures this month and will post a few pics... Also, I am anxious to see how my first few weeks of school go. Well....here it goes.

Proud Aunt!

I'm an Aunt again!

This is Madison Rose Sharp!

Silver Lake- American Fork Canyon

Some more pictures took this weekend at the Silver Lake area for your viewing pleasure.

Colorado Trip

So, this weekend I went on a trip with some new friends to Colorado to raft and such. We rafted on the Arkansas River, which was a blast, went on an amazing hike, ate good food, and drove through some of the most beautiful mountains. I would recommend this trip to all ya'll. Oh, and yes, I stold the pics of Zions from Andrea, give her credit for the pics....but these ones are mine.

ZION!

Last weekend I went with some friends to Zion National Park... um... it's amazing... go there! We hiked through part of the narrows, and hiked on Angels landing which is very very high and a crazy hike up the side of a mountain where you have to hold on to chains to avoid falling off of the cliffs...so, enjoy.

This tall cliff if the view from the top of Angels Landing.. yikes!

hmmm...

let's see... for my update, I work a lot, yep. I'm really enjoying my job at Provo Canyon School, and am excited that I get paid to go camping and hiking in escalante for a few days this week. Hopefully the kids will be a little bit better behaved this time. Last time they caught and ate a lizard.. yum. I'm still living with Tammy, which has been alot of fun as we get to do a lot more together. Even if it's sitting around scanning pictures and eating popcicles. Yesterday we went and volunteered with a friend of mine at the Special Olympics, and some lady gave Tammy and extra large volunteer shirt claiming that it was the only one that would fit her. That was pretty funny to hear. Well, that's it for now.

changes

Well, I've been told that it's time to post again, so here it goes. I am quitting my job with Recreation Therapy on the Alzheimer's unit at Heritage Care Center, i really enjoyed it, but it was getting repetitive, and the drive was using a lot of gas every day, still I'm really going to miss the place. There are some really fun people that I've had the privilege of working with.

Friday will be my last and Monday I will start at Provo Canyon School again doing Recreation Therapy, only, with Youth-at-risk. So these next few weeks will be full of trainings and getting some certifications.

Also, i just found out that i got a job with BYU Graduate Student Society (GSS). I am on the GSS presidency. My exact position is the executive assistant, pretty much I'll help plan events, do the news letters, help run Graduate Student Council, go to conferences, do budgeting, etc. So I'm excited about that. so i'll start the planning portion of the job this summer.

And ... this weekend i get to move in with Tammy! yea!

Well, that's the update for now.

Grad School

yea! I got into BYU's Social Work Grad program!

Snowler Bear

A work in progress...

snowler bears are snow made polar bears, take a look. be amazed.

should I fret?

Funny day at work.... I got some fashion advice..... An elderly lady at work today told me that my face was pretty, but that then there was the rest of me. She expalined that my clothes were dumb and thus i must be a stupid person. I guess that at least she didn't say that my face was the problem. hmm... should I worry? Anyway, It was really funny so i thought I'd share it.

new job and stuff

So, I thought I'd write and let ya all know what I'm up to... I am working with the recreation therapy dept. at Heritage Care Center, specifically on the Alzheimer's unit. It's really a challenge, and I'm learning a lot! This residents are teaching me a lot of patience and a lot about people in general... again, a challenge, but fun. so, there is my update.
