She's Back!

I haven't blogged in a long time and it is time that i repent and blog more frequently than once every 6 months. I have been extremely busy...you know, with the full time job and not going to school and not having kids to take care of. i clearly did not have enough time to blog since i was spending 35 hours a week slaving away at a job. how was i supposed to fit anything else into my day? i must admit though, that i haven't left the blogging world completely. everyday i have checked other peoples blogs, i just didn't have the desire to write anything of my own. But, it is time to start blogging again. Let me catch you up on what you have missed.

I'm now working as a Medical Assistant in a pediatricians office. I love it! some of you may be wondering what the heck a medical assistant is. Well, you know when you go to the doctors office and you think its a nurse taking you back to the room, giving you the shots, and testing your strep swabs? That is actually a medical assistant doing that. Rarely do doctors hire nurses to work in their private offices because they cost too much, so that's why they have medical assistants. i know you all wanted to be educated about this. I'm also slowly, and i mean very slowly, working on my bachelors degree in Integrated studies at UVU (uvsc). Since jarred and i don't want to go into debt with school, we have decided to switch off semesters when we go to school. So this summer I'm going to be taking a couple classes and still going to work full time.

I've also started teaching piano lessons on my day off from my job. We don't have a piano yet, so my mom is kind enough to let me use her house and her supplies to help me get started teaching. we have a recital coming up in May, so hopefully my beginners will be ready. I'm pretty excited about it. I'm sure they will all do great. Its so fun to watch my students improve and learn more about the piano.

Another thing i haven't blogged about is that i have been going to this Relief Society cooking class every month. Anyways, I'm the youngest woman in the little class and the teacher always is so excited when i come. She's this cute grandma lady that just loves everybody. Anyways, i told her that i want to learn how to make bread, but i don't want anything too hard. So she lent me a DVD called Pantry Secrets, or something like that, and i learned how to make bread!!! the recipe i have is actually really easy. I don't even have to make the yeast bubble up in a separate bowl or anything. The DVD also taught me how to make homemade Cinnamon rolls, which i love to make, mostly because they taste yummy. Anyways, i was pretty proud of myself that i could accomplish something like this. keep checking my blog because I'm going to try to post some pictures and more posts more often!

I am so excited!!! New posts on yours AND Mat6t's blogs! It's a miracle!

I'll have to borrow that bread DVD because I stink at making bread.

Oh, did I mention that you are the BEST piano teacher ever? Frances loves you!

Why isn't my blog on your list of links? I'm not good enough for you? You're ashamed of me? What's the deal?

Thanks for posting!

So I remember when you used to spend hours every night blogging while you and Jess lived together. And then I go to your blog to see you hadn't updated it since September! You've been to ours, right?

Those cinnamon rolls you made were delicious. Any more where those came from?
