Halloween, Here and Gone

I've been bad with our updates since I've gotten home and have had more responsibilities in our house. Hope all had a great Halloween. We had a Moore family dress-up party the Saturday before Halloween. We had a great time eating and playing poker (of course!!!). Braydon loved being a scary football player and Dash from the Incredibles. Katie and I were also scary cheerleader/football player. Katie also dressed up as a devil on the official Halloween day.

I'm in my third week of my internship. It is a big difference between an out-patient setting vs. an in-patient setting. In the in-patient setting we see a lot of older patients who (most of the time) have just gotten out of the hospital for one reason or another. I have really enjoyed my time there and have been learning a lot of stuff. One of my biggest complaints is my commute. It is in Bountiful and I'm just praying that NO big snow storms come during the week until the middle of December. It takes me about an hour (both ways) to travel.

Katie has begun a new adventure taking a job at Provo Craft and not working at the Roberts store in American Fork. She didn't like working on Saturday's because that has been the only day we really get to spend with each other and we want to make the most of it.

Take a look at all of our Halloween pictures in our photo album. Talk to you later.

Up and Running Again!!!

I hope you all know that the title of this blog is a figure of speech and that I am not actually going to be "running" any time soon!!! I am beginning my second internship tomorrow so I will be out on the road for some time each day (I will have the cell phone so you can make my travel better with a phone call). I will most likely leave between 7-7:30 am so that I will be able to be in Bountiful by 9 am each morning. I still don't know when I will be leaving Bountiful but hopefully before 6 pm each evening.

I've had this last week to do some research and get some of my tables/figures ready for my capstone paper. I have most of my first patients information typed up and just ready for the next two patients so I can write their part.

That's about it. Nothing else really going on here. We have a Halloween Party with Katie's family on Saturday and then the Ward is having a Halloween Carnival and Truck or Treat on Tuesday Night. I'm sure we'll have pictures of both of these parties and will have pictures for you to view next time.

I'M BACK!!!!!!

Yes, it's true. I have arrived back in good ole' Utah after my first 8-week internship. Time really went by fast and I can't believe I'm one quarter of the way done for my last year of physical therapy school. I have this week off so that I can do some research for my Capstone paper which is due in February. I begin my next internship on the 23rd up in Bountiful at a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF which we like to call Sniff).

We have been busy since I've been back. Braydon didn't have school on Thursday so I got to play with him all day while Katie worked. Friday we let Angela and my mom watch Braydon during the day and overnight so that Katie and I could have a Date Night. We went to the University Mall and walked about for a while, went to Tucanos for a late lunch and then went to the movies to see Click. We had a Birthday party for our little niece Saturday afternoon and then church on Sunday. Now we have to get back to regular life now!!!

Down the Stretch I Come!!!

THREE DAYS LEFT!!!

I will be driving home Wednesday afternoon, so I won't get to PG until late that night. I will be doing all of my packing, laundry, packing this week. I will be home just in time to watch Braydon on Thursday and Friday because he doesn't have school those two days.

I went out to gamble for the last time while out here. Nothing to exciting happened. I'm glad I gave Katie some of the winnings when I got my Four Aces, so I didn't spend/lose it. So, over the last 8 weeks, I'm up about $200, which is fine with me. That "extra" money will be put to good use at Christmas time.

Nothing else to exciting going on. Just can't wait to be home.

Another Weekend With the Family!

I had another great weekend with Katie, Braydon, and Nettie. They got down here Friday night around dinner time. We had some hamburgers and salads at home. Braydon loves to come down to visit me. I just don't know if it's because I'm here or if it's because he gets to play with Ryan and Sierra. That night, after Braydon was put to bed, we went to play some Texas Hold'em. It was Nettie's first time and she said she enjoyed it. Katie didn't want to play and decided to flush her money down a slot machine in 20 minutes. At least I got to play for like four hours before that happened to me!!!

Saturday morning we went to breakfast at the Original Pancake House (Katie's favorite place to eat!). Mike and I took the kids home for "quite" time while the girls went to get pedicures and shopping at the mall. We then went to the MGM Casino and M&M World. We had dinner at In & Out Burgers (Katie's second favorite spot to eat!). We then went back to the South Coast Casino where Nettie and I lost the rest of our money.

Sunday morning was packing things up and after breakfast, they headed back to Utah. I have been finishing up a presentation that I have been assigned to give to a group of PT's on Tuesday about different shoulder surgeries and the rehab difference between them.

I figured out, I have 10 more days here before I will be back. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
