As I think everyone has now accepted, this blog is RARELY current. In truth- I forget about it much of the time, and the other times I that I do remember, I don't have the time and more often- the energy to write. But every once in a while I feel like I should throw out a little update- even though there isn't too much to report!
Cole is still at the high school nearly everyday and has started coaching the sprinters on the track team....He was a sprinter in high school....I was not. (So if our kids are slow, have bad eyesight, and are cavity-prone...sadly I won't be able to blame him for any of it!) After track practice he heads to Elba to feed the cows and check on the baby calves since it's calving season. While I do love baby calves, I hate that Cole is usually gone when I get home from the hospital at night.
However, my whole life I've wanted a baby calf to be born on my birthday! Even though it seems like it should happen all the time since the first part of April is still calving season- it has NEVER happened. Until today...my Dad called me to tell me he had a little bull calf born this morning. Yeah- I sound like a country girl...but I'm STOKED! Judge me!
I'm nearing the half way point of my ultrasound program and I'm learning a lot- I still love ultrasound and I love going to the hospital everyday. I have some great ultrasonographers who teach me a lot and are so encouraging. I love every minute of it! I'll be heading to L.A. in May for a conference on ultrasound physics...sounds fun doesn't it? It'll be preparing me for an ultrasound registry exam... basically like and ACT exam...4 hours of how Physics pertains to ultrasound. Jealous?
Last week, I did get to go to Provo for a bit. My friend Maren and I have our birthdays 5 days apart so it's kinda been tradition the past 5 years to go to dinner to celebrate! I've missed her so much. And I got to go see her teach her 2nd graders! She's spectacular! It's a good thing some people are made to teach...because I was exhausted just watching her teach 25 2nd graders for an hour and a half!
While I was in Provo, I also got to see my old roommates Kaylee, Jordan, Chelsea, Corina, Cathryn, and Melissa! They are seriously some of the neatest people you could ever know! I love seeing them so much and they always seem to make time to see me when I come to town! I couldn't ask for better friends!
And tonight...for my birthday- Cole is making me a cake....and I'm thinking about giving in and letting him watch the college basketball championship....we'll see! This is a real predicament if this will be a yearly occurence.
