Summertime

So, it is FINALLY summertime! :) Wahoo. I love, love, love the fact that it stays light outside until 9:00 or 10:00, and I love the sunshine (when it decides to make an appearance...). And I love having time off work. ha. Who doesn't?

It has been a fun couple of months. For the first time in the 2 1/2 years that we have been married, neither of us are taking summer classes. And its sooooo weird. ha. We kind of don't know what to do with ourselves now that we don't have homework that has to be done all the time. We have been staying somewhat busy, though.

Scott accepted a position to work as in intern at the University Hospital (which is awesome) and is working full-time this summer. I sound like a dorky wife, but I really can't even express how proud I am of him all the time. Seriously. I'll just brag about him for a minute. :) There were only 5 positions open this year for all of the new pharmacy students to the U and the other pharmacy school in the valley, and there were 3 open at Primary Children. He applied to both, interviewed at both, and got an offer from both. He decided to take the one at the U, because he thought it would offer a more diverse experience. And so far, he is liking it a lot. :) He can't wait to get into his 2nd year of pharmacy school so that his responsibilities as an intern have more to do with the actual patients instead of just filling the prescriptions. The internship will last through all 4 years of pharmacy school, and will be very beneficial to not only his education but to his job outlook since he wants to work in a hospital.

I have just finished work for the summer, and am also keeping somewhat busy. I am running the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay, and the training that I have been doing for that has been keeping me something to do. I am kind of trying to get a job for the summer, but its kind of hard since I would only need a job for 2 1/2 months, and I would have to miss a few weekends. I am going out to Nebraska next week to do some training, but other than that, I don't have anything lined up as far as work goes. Hopefully I can find something flexible enough?

Meanwhile, I have been keeping busy by actually cleaning our apartment (ha. It needed it), and cooking new things, which I love doing. And running, and just getting small things done that we've been meaning to do for a while.

Also, we finally got a 2-bedroom in the Medical Towers, which is awesome. We have been given July 14-16 to transfer apartments. We are very excited. This will be right across from the hospital and pharmacy school, so it will be WAY more convenient for Scott, and it will be closer to all of my classes, too. And I really do like change. And a change of apartment will be nice. And hopefully we can just stay there for the next 4 or 5 years while we get through school. :) So if anyone feels like helping moving us... just let me know. :P ha.

I will try to write sooner next time. Maybe in a month, instead of two months, you'll see another blog. And maybe it will have pictures? Only if I stop being a slacker.
