I have just finished my 5th week of my internship. Maybe not to anyone else (Katie), time has really been flying. I fell that it was just yesterday that I was packing up my books and clothes heading to Vegas. The last few weeks or so, I've been able to start working with my "own" patients. We only see one patient per hour so my CI is always right there by me and has let me do what I think is best for the patients. I've been working on a In-service that I have to give to a group of therapist. My topic is shoulder surgeries and the rehab protocols after different procedures. Other then that, work has been the same ole' same ole'.
Katie and Braydon have the sniffles and haven't been feeling good. They are coming down on Friday the 29th with Katie's mom. We will be gong down to the strip/M&M World/and playing Texas Hold'em. Katie's mom wants to try playing with "real" money so I'm not sure if she will want to play a Limit (2-4) or No-limit Tournament.
Nothing else of an interest is happening. I'll let you know how the weekend with my family is next time.

Mid-Term Exam!!!
Friday was my mid-term examination. Well, it really wasn't an examination, more like a interview. My CI and I went to a local Italian restaurant. We sat down and looked over a Calzone and discussed my strengths and weakness. We have discussed all of this before so nothing was a surprise.
Friday night, I was dropped off at the airport and flew to SLC. I was delayed for about 30 minutes due to the weather (rain) in Salt Lake. It really isn't that bad of a flight, about 50 minutes total in the air.
Saturday, We watched the BYU-BC game. I was only able to watch until the middle of the forth quarter because we went to watch "Cars" at Movies 8. We all enjoyed the movie and will most likely buy it when it comes out on DVD. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and lounging around in our apartment.
Sunday, we woke up and went to Nanny and Papa's house to wait for the Crane's to come by and pick me up to head back to Vegas. This weekend just went by way to fast but we had fun being with each other.
I did put some pictures up in our Family Photo Album which are:

Only 5 Weeks Left!
Just finished my 3rd week of my 8 week internship. This week came and went very quickly. I don't know if it was because we have been steadily getting more patients or if it was because it was a short week due to the holiday weekend (I would guess the short weekend).
Other then that, nothing much has been happening here. I caught up on some sleep over this weekend and got all my errands taken care of.
The Cranes are going to go to Disneyland this weekend for Sierra's birthday. They are going to Thursday Night so I will be house sitting for the weekend. The kids are very entertaining so I don't know what I'm going to do with myself the whole time their gone.
They have changed their plans and now will be going to Utah instead. They are still driving out Thursday night. They have offered me a ride to Utah if I want to come but I would be missing a whole day on Friday and don't think it would be good for me to ask for that day off.
After talking to Katie, we decided that it would be good for me to fly to Salt Lake and have Katie come and get me and then I will come back to Vegas with the Cranes. I found a flight for $49.99 one-way (which is even cheaper then driving). I will be departing at 8 pm and arrive in SLC at 10:30 pm. I have not plans except to hang out with Katie and Braydon all weekend long.
While I'm back home, I'll load up all of our recent pictures online.

Labor Day Weekend
We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Katie, Braydon and my parents came down to Vegas to see me. Here is the quick run-down of our adventures:
Friday night: We went to Red Robin and had dinner. They got to town as I was just getting out of my internship and I meet them there. We just relaxed the rest of the night.
Saturday: For breakfast, we went to The Original Pancake House. Katie and I have fallen in love with this place. Everytime we come to Vegas we try to have at least one breakfast there. That afternoon, we drove past my work place to show them where I'm working. We then headed down to the Strip. Our first stop was the Rio. They have the "Masquerade Show in the Sky." It's like a Mardi Gras parade on the ceiling. The people in the parade throw beads (not like the real Mardi Gras parade). Braydon was able to get two beaded necklaces. We then went to Caesars Palace. We walked through the Forum Shops to get out onto the strip. We went down the strip to the Venetian to see the gondolas riding up and down the canals. We then went to see the pirate show at Treasure Island. The pirate show use to be a good, clean, family show, now it's not. I'm glad we didn't have a "good" spot to see it and don't recommend watching it with little kids. We then hit the Mirage. Braydon loved the volcano. We then went back home to watch the BYU-Arizona game (TiVo is the greatest invention).
Sunday: Our first stop was M&M World. We spent a good hour there looking at each of the 4 floors. We watch a free movie about "Red losing his M in Vegas." We bought some M&M's and enough stuff to get a free "Pirate" stuff M&M for Braydon. Coca-Cola World was next. Nothing too exciting in there except for the fact we got a huge rootbeer float. Our last stop of the morning was at the MGM Grand. We watched the Lions play for a while and then ate lunch in the Rainforest Cafe.
That evening Katie and I had a date night!!! We went to the Mandalay Bay for dinner. Then we went to the Faith Hill/Tim McGraw concert. We had a great time. The money was well spent. They sang, pretty much non-stop, for 3 hours straight. Our seats weren't the best but it sure was fun. It was cool because it was the last night of their whole tour. After that, Katie and I meet up with Mike and Lorey and played some Texas Hold'em. Katie ended up losing her money ($40 in the Texas Tea slot machine at Mandalay Bay and $40 at Hold'em) and I doubled my money ($75 to $150) to make up for her!!!
Monday: We just had some breakfast here (thanks Lorey) and then my family left. Now, it will be 4 weeks before I get to see them again so if anybody wants to bring Katie and Braydon down here before then, let use know!!!!
