One Down, Seven to GO!!!

I have just finished my first week in my first internship. It has been going very well. It is a newer clinic and it's just starting to build up its clients. We see anywhere from 6-10 people a day, which turns out to be about 1 per hour. This is good for me because I have time through out the day to study and look things up (if I need to). My Clinical Instructor (CI) wants to go over a section of the body every week, so this last week we have been going over the shoulder(evaluation, special test, treatments). My CI has also been giving me articles (shoulder related) to read to keep my up with my studies. Overall, it was a great first week.

My internship makes me pretty busy during the week, so the weekends are my free time. Last night, Mike and I went to a the South Coast Casino. It is the most southern casino on the strip, close to his house. We went to play a 2-4 Texas Hold'em. A 2-4 game means that pre-flop and post-flop can only be bets of 2 and raises can only be in 4-6-8-10. The turn and river have to be bets of 4-8-12-16. I limited my self to start with $100. I was down to about $40 went I started getting good hands.

I started getting 3-of-a-kinds, straights, flushes, full houses and building my chips up. Then I pocket A's and flopped 3-of-a-kind. I kept raising and 3 other people kept calling. On the river, the dealer laid another Ace.

YES, FOUR-OF-A-KIND!!!!

My heart was racing and I was trying hard not to get to excited. I was so excited that I said "Raise" before the guy in front of my bet so he folded quickly and the other two in the pot called. I beat a 3-of-a-kind and a full house. I won about $150 from the pot and the casino pays for 4-of-a-kinds depending how long ago somebody got it. So I got another $150 for that. Basically, I took my $100 in and brought out $450. Not bad for only about 4 hours of playing.

Katie's Cake!!!

Katie went to a cake decorating class that is taught by my sister at the Robert's Craft Store in Orem. Katie was scared to go because this was the second class of Course I and she missed the first class. I thought she did a great job. She will finish the course by taking the third class on Thursday and then maybe taking Course II. You can take a look at Katie's cake in our Family Photo Album.

VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!!

Well, the summer has flown by and I'm heading out tomorrow for Vegas to do my first internship. I will leave tomorrow about 9-10 am. I have to meet with my clinical instructor Thursday morning to get ready for my first official day on Monday the 21st. I'm excited to get started but once I get to vegas I have to look over all my stuff and refresh myself (considering I've been a slacker over the summer break).

We just went to the Zoo on Saturday and had a blast. Braydon and all his cousins had a fun time running around and looking at all the "cool" animals. We then went to the Veteran's Memorial pool for our last time of the year. We usually go during the week, so going on a Saturday was CRAZY because of all the people that were there, but we had a fun time anyways. We then went to the part to celebrate Leah's 2nd birthday. She had a "Care Bear" birthday where she got tons of stuffed care bears.

Since I will be in Vegas, I will have to see if any pictures will be added to our website. I will give updates on how things are going (and how sweaty I am).

We did add some photos to our Family Photo Album of our apartment and from the zoo.
Sorry, no pictures of the waterpark or Leah's birthday because we forgot our camera.

Still Busy!!!

Man, how time flies!!! It's been about 3 weeks since I've done our last entry. Here is a little recap of the last 3 weeks:

1. Went to Wendover with my father-in-law and brother-in-law over night. We all ended up losing all of our money (even going to the ATM once). It was suppose to be an bachelor's party for a future brother-in-law but he had to work, so we went without him.

2. Had a throw together at the last minute family reunion with my dad's side of the family over the 24th weekend up at the cabin. It was fun. We had some of my dad's brothers and sisters from SLC and California that we haven't seen for years.

3. We have also been visiting the Veteran's Memorial Waterpark at least once a week. Braydon loves the kid area and going the "not flying" slide. We still have one more time left to go to fill our season pass.

Upcoming events:
Lindsey's Wedding
Clark Family Reunion
Moving into our Pleasant Grove apartment
Going to Las Vegas for my Internship

I will let you know when new pictures will be available!!!!
