So I officially started my job as a nurse! I am almost done with my training and will have my very own patients soon! The drive up to SLC is not my favorite but once I am there I love it.
Summer was lovely. Here is a recap of events:
Ty got married!!! Thanks to yours truly. Well at least I did some of the introducing then Ty worked his magic. I love Ty and Sonya so much! The wedding was beautiful and so fun. You can now get updates on these Okie lovebirds at their very own blog (don't worry they are much better at updating than I am!).
The "Holt girls" just missing our newest addition!
I went on a pioneer trek!! Yes you read that right. I never got to go as a youth so I was pretty excited when I heard my BYU ward was going to do a trek. Then, I was asked to be our ward's first aid person and I knew I had to go. I couldn't turn down a chance to live out my childhood dream of becoming "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman". Each trekker was given a pioneer name and mine was Dr. Quinn, naturally. Unfortunately we didn't run into any rugged, indian-clad men a la Byron Sully....
The Macobinson family!
Here we are after a day of trekking. A little less enthused. My roomies will probably die when they know this pic is on the world wide web.
Other summer activities: picnic with the bffs
Hikes with spotting scope in hand...
Timp caves
So I had this goal to celebrate one Pioneer Day 100%. I was a tad fanatical about it. I promised Justin this would be the only Pioneer Day I would celebrate. I figured I had to do it once while living in Utah. The day's activities started out with an early morning drive to SLC for the Days of '47 Pioneer Day Parade! It was a little hot but otherwise a lovely way to get into the pioneer spirit. Next up I dragged Justin over to a pioneer museum in Provo. We watched a blacksmith, looked at a pioneer schoolhouse and home, and then got free pioneer candy! He was a good sport. :) To top it all off a group of us went down to Spanish Fork for a fireworks show! Quite the Pioneer Day. I'm kinda relieved I don't feel the need to ever celebrate that holiday again....
Such a good bf supporting my pioneer day obsession
Helping all the parent-less Utah children play with dangerous years-old stilts- now that's the pioneer spirit!
Roomies at the fireworks
Bobsled ride in Park City for Mommy's birthday
Roadtrip to CA with a car full of boys for Caitlin's baptism!
Outdoor movie at the state capitol
More hiking- this time Stewart Falls.
I think that's it for summer! Next time I'll try updating more than once per season. :)
