Well, Jonny and I have been back in Rexburg for over a month now and we are still getting settled in! Our apartment is much smaller than last time, which is a bummer, but we are now directly across from campus and its pretty sweet getting to wake up late and just run over to class real quick.
I am happy to announce that I am finally putting my Phlebotomy certification to use-- I'm working as a Phlebotomist and a Lab Assistant at the BYU-Idaho Student Health Center, which is right on campus. It's super convenient since I can just leave class and walk over to the health center to work for a few hours every day.
I'm finally over my fear of needles- the whole reason I decided to get trained in Phlebotomy in the first place! And by over my fear of needles, I guess I mean I'm over the fear of the simple drawing needles. I don't think I could go much bigger than that! I get to run all sorts of fun tests on blood, serum, and urine; I get to give the sweet news to couples that they're pregnant, and let them know when they're due! It is so fun- I love it! I don't think I've ever enjoyed a job this much. The best part is that its expanding my knowledge/experience and its just 3-4 hours per day so I still get to come home and have time to make dinner and study. Its perfect for me.
I wear scrubs EVERY day so I don't have to worry about what to wear. Jonny likes this because I spend less time looking at my closet, not knowing what to wear, and being tempted to go shopping. I like this because I don't have to care that its the same 3 pairs of scrubs every week ;) It also makes it so I don't have to get up as early in the morning!
Jonny meanwhile is working super hard with Moxie recruiting. There's a big paintball war coming up so that should be fun. Our one year anniversary was today as well! Last night, Jonny took me to Olive Garden and a movie. We saw Argo; it was incredible. VERY good movie- besides the swear words. :/ He then took me to Destinations Inn and we stayed in a pretty sweet themed room. It was Rio themed and there was a projector screen that came down to watch movies on. We watched What Happens in Vegas and had Sparkling Cider of course, along with delicious cheesecake. MMM. It was almost as good as the Cheesecake Factory- no joke! We had a great relaxing night.
Jonny got an over & under shotgun for our anniversary and I also have some pretty cool presents coming soon. I will post pictures later.
I'm now off to watch Revenge and the new Walking Dead premiere! Everyone have a marvelous week!
