July's Events...
On the 4th Brett's family does this tradition for everyone who wants to participate. The fitness freaks go to Henefer (a tiny town about 15 minutes west of Morgan) to run in the 5K and all the others go golfing! I decided to run....of course Brett went golfing! I really am not a runner no matter how many times i try to convince myself otherwise! A few of Bretts sisters are really into it so it makes me want to be a runner! I completed my first 5K! It was a big accomplishment for me! YAY! I kept about a 9 minute mile, running the whole way, so i felt pretty good about it!
Of course we had to take pics in our HENEFER shirts! They did a drawing after and i won a day pack...it will be nice for hiking and such!
My (obviously) beautiful cousin got married on July 8th in the Bountiful Temple! We had a busy weekend with the luncheon the day before that.
Brett has been working on their wedding video for the past month. It turned out really cute. He has such a talent for that stuff! Then we spent about an hour after the ceremony following the couple around with their photographer to get film footage to add to the video later. They are such a model couple! Their kids will be gorgeous! Love ya Jill Pill!
My birthday was on the 9th! Brett gave me breakfast in bed! It was so nice to be pampered! His gifts included a bike helmet, a bike lock and a lemon zester (random, but i asked for it)---and a new mountain bike!! We went and picked one out at the bike shop at Canyon Sports last week. They are building it and if i ever get a spare minute we can go pick it up! I will post pics when it comes!! I can't wait! We celebrated July bdays with Bretts fam last week on the 4th. There were four of them! This is a funny pic of when we were being sung to!
They used sparklers instead of candles and the little kids were trying to blow them out. It got a little dangerous!! On my bday we went over to Brett's sister's house because they wanted to throw a party for me! The have 2 little boys--4 and 2 yrs. They colored pictures and hung them on the walls. They were so excited to give me their gift!
It was this football! And i loved it!! It's kind of a joke in Brett's family that i am more into sports than most of the boys are---so the gift was perfect!! Brett got me an icecream cake from Baskin Robbins--with applepie icecream. Sounds weird, but you really do have to try it! It's one of my favorites there!
July has been so packed with events! It has been busy, but so much fun! Looking back on the past 2 weeks we've had 4 bdays, 3 weddings of family and close friends, fireworks, family parties, some work, lots of softball and a few more things to come here soon. Probably some camping, boating, and our 1 year anniversary! I LOVE SUMMER!!
Lake Powell
I am a little behind the times when it comes to updating! Finally i got some pics downloaded from our Powell trip...it was only a month ago, give me a break!! This is the Anderton annual houseboat trip. Brett's parents, all 7 kids plus spouses, plus grandkids. It ws definitely a full house! Well, I'm sad to report that it wasn't the best Lake Powell trip i've been on. A couple days into the trip i got sick. We went out wakeboarding early one morning and by lunch time i was having the worst stomach cramps ever...not the monthly ones! I think maybe i ate a turd when i wrecked on the board or something (this could really be possible at Powell)!! As big of a germ freak as i am, i'm not sure why Powell doesn't sick me out!
All day i just wanted to die. Finally that night i threw up. i know you were all dying to hear that! I'll spare you all and won't go into too much detail. All i know is i can't remember the last time i puked. That's how bad i hate it. I was trying my hardest not to let it come up, but i lost! Brett couldn't have been sweeter. He sat there with me while i had it coming out of both ends at the same time! He was funny... kept telling me good job after i puked. I was holding it back, yet Brett kept encouraging it! He was so caring though. He had to have been sick of me after all night of going through that. He even slept next to me with a bowl just in case i needed it! I just love him. He did a very good job of taking care of me. It's the first time since we've been married that he had to witness all that nastiness! ha ha ha For 2 days i was laid up, then when i started feeling back to normal we had some boat problems.The ski boat was struggling, then a some part to the houseboat wasn't working quite right, so we ended up pulling back into the slip and leaving a day early. BUMMER. I didn't even get a tan!!!
Well, we still managed to have a decent time and made lots of memories! So, here's some of the fun parts...
The scenery is always amazing! There was a full moon out the first couple nights, so seeing stars was a little difficult. Sleeping was hard too...it was so bright, yet beautiful!
Oh, Brett always does something weird with his hair or goatie for Powell! This year he decided to go all blonde! He's trying to pull off the Hulk Hogan mustache here! The nephews were all loving the lizards everywhere! Brett was having fun with them! Did you know if you put a lizard next to your ear it will latch on?!
Me wakeboarding...this could have been just before i ate that turd i mentioned earlier! ha ha ha
And of course i had to get a few sunset shots! (this one is for you Melissa)! I absolutely love it there! Hopefully next year will be memorable for some different reasons other than being sick! Ans maybe i can get a tan too!
What's Goin On Here?
Before school was out i found out about this great office that would be needing a hygienist. I did my working interview there and was waiting for my license to arrive. I put all my eggs in one basket and they got thrown back in my face! Brett even warned me about that and i didn't listen to him. I was really excited about this office and got a little too much false hope from the front office manager there. I knew she was pushing for me from the get-go. It ended up not working out because the dr knew a little too much about me. He knew Brett would be applying for dental school and that we could possibly be gone in the next year. He told me he didn't want to have to go through the hiring process all over again in a year that's why he would be hiring someone else. So, is that discrimination? I feel a little ripped. We don't even know for sure if we will be gone or not, but oh well. I now know you can be honest, but just not too open when looking for jobs.
I don't know about this whole hygiene thing. As for now i will be temping around. I've temped a few different times since my license came and it's nice to have them cut a check for your work at the end of each day. At the same time it's hard being in offices for the first time and not knowing anyone or anything about that office! Although, I have learned that if you sit down with the assistants at lunch you will find out all you need to know (and sometimes more than you need/want to know) about that office! There are a lot of crazy people out there!! ha ha ha
On Thursday I felt like the local anesthesia queen. Not only did I have to numb one of my patients for scaling and root planing, but the doctor had me numb for a couple different procedures...including a wisdom teeth surgery. I don't think i've given that many shots all at once since we did our LA labs last fall at the WSU clinic (poor Melissa!). I also saw a 16 year old girl that day. As i updated her HHX she informed me that she couldn't have xrays because she is 2 months pregnant. My heart went out to her. I felt so greatful that I am able to have my education and be at this spot in my life. She will have so much responsibility to take on at such a young age. I felt comfortable talking with her and could tell that she trusted me as a health care provider. I was glad that i could teach her the importance of her home care during her pregnancy and she seemed very attentive and interested, so i hope she really took it all in. I think i need to brush up a little on pt education, but for the most part i felt pretty good about it!
Enough hygiene stuff....I will be posting some Lake Powell picts soon so stay tuned!!
