Yes, I can't believe it also but I'm down to my last 3-days in my third internship. Time has flown by. I will be sad to leave this facility because I learned so much from both of the therapist there. I won't miss the driving. for the last 4 months, I've been commuting from PG to Bountiful and then West Jordan. I can't wait to only have to drive about 15 minutes to N. Orem at Timpanogos Hospital. I will actually get to sleep in (if you consider 6 am sleeping in!!!) but won't because my body has been used to getting up at 4 am (working out, reading scriptures, getting ready for the day, making my breakfast and lunch) so I can leave the house by 6 am to get to the clinic and see my first patient at 7 am.
I received my capstone project back the other day. I think it had more black (hand written) ink from my advisor then computer ink. I have to do a lot of corrections that I am hopefully going to take care of this weekend so I can send it back to her by Monday to try to get it done earlier!!! I talked to a fellow classmate with the same advisor and he said the same thing about getting hammered with his capstone so I guess I don't feel to bad. It is good that our professor is complete when reading our papers and that none of her students will be slacking!!!
As for the family, we are all doing good with no serious complaints. We actually haven't done much over the last few weeks. Hope we can change that in the upcoming ones.

Only Two More Weeks!!!
We have been busy the last few weeks. I have just completed my 6th week of my third internship leaving 2 weeks to go. Time has been going by fast. I can't believe I have about 10 weeks left in my physical therapy program (well, maybe I can!!!)
These last few weeks I have been finishing my capstone (thesis) project. I have just sent my first draft (of many I would think) to my professor. It is about 20 pages written and 26 with cover page, references, and tables. I will be glad when this paper is finished!!!
Like I said, February has been busy. We all have gotten over the recent flu bug (head and stomach). Katie had the wonderful opportunity of getting it twice about a week apart. I even had to miss a day at my internship due to it.
Braydon got the chance to show off his Grandpa Moore at his school. February is safety month and Braydon wanted to have his favorite police officer come to his school. He had so much fun with his grandpa that day (even though he got sick that afternoon)
My grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We had a get together with some of our family and some of their friends and had a great time seeing family that I haven't seen for years.
We just finished our Valentines this weekend. We decided not to go out to dinner on the 14th because I had to work late that night and didn't want to fight the crowds. I did surprise Katie with some flowers that I had left for her that morning. Katie's mom came and got Braydon and took him up to Heber Thursday night so Katie and I could go to dinner on Friday. We went to Texas Roadhouse in for dinner. It is located in the South Town Mall on 106thSLC. We loved it. We both got the ribs and they are to die for. They were so tender that when you lifted the bone up to your mouth, the meat fell off. I recommend it to anyone. I do suggest to use the call ahead method of getting you number. We did that and still had to wait for about 20-30 minutes on a Friday night. People around us had been given a quote of 75-85 minute waits. It's good but I don't know it its that good.
We do have 4 new photo albums (Goofing around, G-pa at school, Holt's 50th wedding anniversary, and Valentines) so check them out.

It's That Time of Year, AGAIN!!!
I know, I have not taken my weekly assignment (given to myself) of updating our website every Saturday. I wish I could say that there is a reason for not doing so but I can't come up with a good one. I have been busy with my internship, or writing my capstone paper, or family activities but all those reasons would just be an excuse for my procrastination so I won't!!!
Over the last few weeks I've been able to go to some BYU basketball games that have honestly been some of the best games I've gone to ( Yes, I know BYU is not UNC or Duke by any means) in the 28 years of my life. I went to the Air Force game that was a sell out (since student tickets were only $1) and the cougars beat the national ranked (15th) Falcons by double digits. Last weekend, the UNLV Rebels were in town ranked 25th in the nation and the Cougars beat them by 20 something. With a win last night over the Wyoming Cowboys, the Cougars are all alone in 1st place in the Mountain West. Not bad for the Cougars.
I have just passed the half way mark of my internship and things are going very well. I see about 6-10 patients a day, doing all the new evaluations that come through the door to help me get better at them considering it take several years to get use to being comfortable doing them. Everything is going good......
EXCEPT.....
I hate this time of year. The weather is miserable and football season is at it's end!!! Sorry, had to wipe the tears out of my eyes. Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone once again. I do have to say that I am glad the Colts won this year. We had a get together with my family and Katie's family and ate way to much food. I know the Pro Bowl is next week but that isn't a "Real" game, its a way for the NFL to earn more money and not every players that is elected goes to the Pro Bowl due to "injuries" or "personal" reasons. I guess I will have to break out my old high school football games to get me to April and the NFL Draft and then August for the Pre-season.
Hope I can make it.

First Week Back!!
I just finished my first week in my internship. It was good to get back to doing things and not sitting around being bored all the time. My clinical instructor was sick for the first few days so I shadowed another therapist there and started getting into the swing of thing and how the clinic works. My CI felt better Thursday and Friday and came in so I got to meet him and start working with him.
My schedule is a little crazy. Some days I work from 7-3 and others times I work 11-7. I will begin getting a case load for myself beginning on Monday with a new eval that will be coming in and by the end of my internship, my CI wants to have about every other patient working with me. With a full schedule, each therapist will see about 10-12 patients a day so I will be seeing about 5-6 a day.
That's about it for me. Katie is still working everyday at Provo Craft in Spanish Fork and Braydon is loving school and being a typical 4 year old boy.

Good-bye 2006, Welcome 2007!!!
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! (I know, it's a little late)
It feels sad to say but it's out with the old and in with the new. This year has been marked out our (Katie's mostly) calendar for a few years now (5 years to be exact). I will be graduating in May (if all turns out) and then I will be a "regular" working man (without summers off and no more Christmas/New years breaks).
I started my third internship today in West Jordan at a Mountainland Rehab facility that is on the SLCC campus on 90th South and Bangerter. It is a "teaching" facility that helps with local high schools teaching about different health professions ranging from physical therapy to dental assistants to pharmacy to name a few. I will help the PT's in the clinic in teaching some to the PT parts of the class. It should be a good overall experience for me.
That's about it for us. We have all going back into the swing of things with my internship, Katie's work, and Braydon's back to school.
