Two in one day??? Just some randomness

These past few weeks, I would have to say have not been the best. This email that I got from my friend Mandy really made me feel a lot better. I hope that it will help whoever reads it as much as it has helped me.

On a higher note...

I am almost done with spring semester and let me just say I have never really been this excited for the summer before now! I still love my biology instructor, she is really a fun person! Now english, not so much. Instead of helping me get better, I think that I have gotten worse! I am not impressed by her at all.

Higher we go.....

I was getting out of my car this morning and as most who live in Utah know, it's raining/snowing. I had the choice of waiting for trax to come and take me to work or I could walk there. If I walked I would
1. get extremely wet
2. be a little late (maybe a min.)
3. freeze my tushy off

so what do you think this crazy person did?
walked

That is right, I walked, it takes about 15mins to get to my work from the parking garage. While I walked, I noticed some amazing things that are everyday things but really stood out to me today.

1. I don't think I have seen so many worms in my life.
*While I walked to work I played dodge the worms. In the back of my head, I remembered my bio. teacher saying she tries not to hurt any living thing. I tried to do that too, but let me say that some of those worms did end up getting smashed by my large feet.

2. I love to see my breath in the air.
* It is really amazing how all the different molecules interact to do this.

3. Snow/rain
* I loved that some of my wetness was coming from snow and some from rain. I love to watch it come from the sky.

4. trees
* No tree is the same. I walk this way a lot to work and I saw a really pretty tree that I have never noticed before. Words could not decribe what it looked like.

5. Mountains/clouds
* I love when the clouds get low enough to touch the mountains. It is really pretty to me.

6. Getting wet
* Love that when I got to work my scrubs were soaked. I was sure cold but it was great!

You can call me weird but the things that I saw and felt this morning were pretty amazing. Life is so beautiful and sometimes I lose sight of it.

Do You Believe This???

A girl went to her friends house and she ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone.She wasn't afraid because it was a small COMMUNITY and she lived only a few blocks away.As she walked along under the bike trail Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.When she reached the alley, which was a shortcut to her house, she decided to take it.However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection.Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep.Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.She felt she could recogn ize the man, so she told them her story.The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.She asked if they would ask the man one question.Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.When the policeman asked him, he answered, 'Because she wasn't alone.She had two tall men walking on either side of her.Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're not alone.

People will not stand up for God..Send this if you truly belie ve in God....PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what:'If you deny me in front of your friends, I shall deny you in front of my Father' STAND UP FOR HIM ... 93% of people wont pass this on.... Will you be one of them?

I don't have any pictures but I just wanted to say Happy Birthday Miss Alice!!!!! Love you!! you are a great and amazing sister!!!! You are getting to be an old lady!!!! I already sang happy birthday to you on your voice mail but here we go this will be better because you don't have to hear my singing voice!!

Happy birthday to you!!
Happy birthday to you!!
Happy birthday dear Alice!!
Happy birthday to you!!

Oh yes and I just decided that next year I will make up my own birthday song and sing it. Trust me when I say it will be the best you have ever heard!!hehehehe


April Fools

OK, so when people look at me they might think that I am a serious person!! Looks can be deceiving!!! hahaha

Last year I got Michael really good by telling him that I had passed out at work and that the doctors ordered labs and ct scans. Oh I thought it was funny (he did not).

So this year I thought that I would focus on someone else.............hehehe( can you hear my evil tone)hehehe

Today we have clinic with Dr. Park and we thought it would be funny to play a little joke on him.
Annette, Stacey ( both nurses) and I all hid in an exam room around the time clinic was to start. We had the charge nurse page Dr. Park to tell him that his first patient was here. When Dr. Park came down to the clinic Elaine (charge nurse) went and told him that he is on his own. She said that all of us called in sick. Dr. Park is a little worried and sits there for a little bit trying to figure out what he is going to do. Finally he sees that there is a patient and knocks on the door to come in. He opened the door and we had made a banner that said APRIL FOOLS and all screamed it too!!hahahaha it was hilarious!!!! ( he thought it was funny )

Then......

Dr. Park told us we should call the other Doc's and do something to them.
So we page all of them and tell them that they have clinic and their first patient it here. Let me just tell you that some of our doc's freak out if there is a patient down here without their okay.

So we got a call from Dr Grimmer and Stacey told him that his first patient was here and Dr Grimmer said" I shouldn't have any patients"Stacey told him to hold on and then we all got on the phone and yelled April fools hahaha this is the funniest he goes uh okay!

The next doctor that called was Dr Smith, that was one of the funniest to do.
He called and was freaking out saying that he had a T & A that he was doing then a voice clinic later and he shouldn't have any patients! Annette tells him sorry and to hold so she can find out what had happened. Then we get on and say April Fools and he just started to laugh and say you guys got me good.

These doctors are fun to work with!

Michael

I don't have any pictures to post, but even if I did I think I would be in trouble if I did post one. HA HA HA I have to laugh at Michael! OK, on with my post.

One night, I was driving home from school, just chatting with Michael. I was telling him how sometimes I just feel mean to people and was saying I was a horrible person. Well, Michael does not like when I say that stuff about his MAP(I'll explain in a bit). So of course he starts to tell me that I am the nicest person and I just worry to much. After that conversation we let each other go so he could do a few things before I got home. I got to thinking that people always say that you should be your own BIGGEST FAN. I think that Michael is mine!

Michael has a little nick name for me and he calls me this all the time, so now, I will answer to both MAP and Dana. MAP stands for Mrs Amazing Pants (it sounds like Michael doesn't it? making up nick names like this?) The funny part is Richard ( Michaels dad) will ask Michael, "So how is MAP doing?" He has started a new trend!

Michael is really the best man I have ever met! I have to give myself credit for falling in love with someone who Spec-freak'n-tacular(somes up all that he is in one word)

Wii fit

I saw on Tahnie's blog that she got this and when she said it was a nice hard work out, I didn't believe her. Then, just the other day my mom said that she went and got this game and told me to come over today and try it out.

Of course, I wanted to make sure I got a pretty good workout in for the day. So, Mandie and I went on a little bike ride while our men where working. Fifteen minutes into the ride both of us look at each other with our hands and face all frozen and said we are done. Afterward, we decided to go the Zupas and get us some tomatoe soup and a cheesy sandwich. Let me just say that I think that I got Mandie hooked to that place it is yummy for my tummy and now hers too!

I headed over to my mom's house after lunch and started to set up the game to play. I have to say that I was really impressed. It gets your height, weight and BMI and plugs it into the system. Then it goes on to check your balance and let me tell you I am not very balanced. What I thought was the best part of the assessment was it calculated how old I was in Wii fit years, I am thirty-five, wow! I am hoping to get a little younger as I progress but who knows?

I started off with the easier stuff like yoga, then went on by doing the aerobics and balancing exercises. Well I thought they were easier! While I was doing these exercises my family was watching to see if it was something that they wanted to try, so basically I was their little Guinea pig. My mom was laughing so hard when I got to the running portion of the exercise because you run in place and follow your instructor. Towards the end ( which is the part she was laughing at the most) you are chasing after a dog. Let me just say that I go to the gym at least 3 times a week and run on the treadmill. When I was done with the Wii fit I was breathing harder then I do at the gym. What a fun workout!

Recently, Michael and I have been getting our bikes ready for the nice weather. Saturday we got new tires for the bikes and then just decided to go for a little ride. Let me just tell you how much I have missed biking. It felt so good to have the cool air breeze pass your face and your hair move threw the wind. Ha ha ha I have to laugh because I am so tired but I just wanted to post this because I can't wait till Saturday when Michael and I can go ride our bikes again ( even if it snows).
