My Life Latley

Well... I don't love posting without having any pictures to share...
but here is another pictureless post!!
Hope it's not too boring!
Latley my life consists of one thing: work!
Between the hospital & Victoria's Secret I rarely get a day off!!
But it's all good :) at least i'm never bored right? haha
Working at the hosptial has really given me great insight into pursing a nursing career
and how to continue about my education.
I've decided for next semester to take my classes on the Weber State campus
& to take a Spanish class!
I am kinda excited about that - it's so frustrating to have patients that don't speak
any English & be unable to communicate with them at all!
So this Garcia has decided to step up her game & learn the language of her ancestors :)
I'm also about 90% sure that I want to get my bachelors in nursing...
Just depending on where i'm at in life.. but I think it's a pretty solid idea!

New Job!

I am pleased to announce that I have finally gotten a job at the hospital!
I am going to be working in the Surgical Unit
I know it is going to be intense & overwhelming but I am really stoked about it.
I am grateful to be gaining experience so I can assure that nursing is my dream job :) 
I ultimately want to be a neonatal nurse (work with the newborns)
but I think it is good to get a taste of everything to make sure that's what I want!! 
I am going to keep working at Victoria's Secret for now & try
to balance out my schedule.
It is gonna be nuts
I can't complain though because I have two jobs when there are people struggling to keep one. 
Heavenly Father has really blessed me!!

Fun in Provo

On Saturday Amanda invited me to join her for a 
delightful trip to Provo to meet up with her good bud Kyle,
 attend a wedding reception & play with our cute friend Alexa.

We ended up getting stuck in traffic for FOREVER &
basically had to make a major detour out of our way to get back on track
for Provo. It was lame but worked out in the end :) haha 

Once we got to Provo we went to Alexa's way cute apartment!
As grateful as I am to be living at home I really missed the world of 
apartments & roommates!! 

We then met up with Kyle & who had his friend Dale with him
(gotta love small town cowboys) & had some lunch.
We saw the movie Land of the Lost 

which was weird, weird, weird but funny & entertaining. 
And naturally after that we went to Spoon Me!!

Next we went to one of Amanda's friends wedding receptions
and afterwards met up with some of Alexa's friends who took us to 
a comedy show at BYU. 
I thought that it would end up just being alright... but oh wow, it was SO funny!
The are a comedy try-out group from BYU called Humor U & they were great!
If I can ever find one of the the comedy routines I will have to post it
 because I laughed so hard I was crying! 
Here is a pic of me, Amanda, & Alexa after the show:

Needless to say it was a pretty great day. 
I have always loved going to Provo with friends but it was kinda different this time.
Playing with Alexa I got to see what campus life is like down there
and how much fun Provo is for a student.
That got me thinking....
maybe I want to look into nursing school through UVU?? 
I dunno. Just a thought for now!

Fire, Friends, & Fun!!

Well since my last post...
I have started working @ Victoria's Secret (still training..) but it's pretty great.
I've never worked retail before so it's all new to me! :) 
Anyways! Here is a bit of the fun i've been up to: 

Campfire in Mantua! 
I know you can't really see the fire in these pictures but I swear it was there... haha
It was so fun to hang out with Alysia & Carlie and meet some of Mike's friends.
Some of them were pretty entertaining... just ask them about Good Ol' Brigham City.
Wow. They really love it up there. 
But it has been awesome being home so that I can play with these girls again!! 
They make me laugh!

Kiana Came for a visit!
Kiana came down & stayed with me to go to our dear friend Jameson's farewell
and boy did we have a hoot!! Amanda of course came to play with us too!
My kind parents took us out to dinner at the delicious Rooster's

And we of course had to sample what everyone got...
pretty tasty!! 

Then we went back to my house and decided to form the ultimate rockband:
The McNinjas

We really were a totally legit band!! We couldn't seem to get enough of it.
Rockband 2 just may be the greatest game ever invented...

Then we finished off the weekend by going to Jameson's Farewell.
Jameson worked with me & Kiana as a PLT member down at Snow
So us awesome three girls decided to venture down to Centerville & say our 
goodbyes to Jameson who will be serving in Serbia! 
Good luck Jameson!! I know you are going to be an amazing missionary!
