Finally pictures of my week with Alisa and family!

So....I am horrible. I am slacker and have not downloaded the pictures from my weekend with Alisa Fairchild, her girls and their families. For those of you who don't know about Alisa and her family I will tell ya the story. Alisa and her wonderful husband were in the Bone Marrow Unit the same time I was. Due to Bryan (her husband) having cancer. They were always right next door. I was never able to get out of my cubical because my immune system was nothing. So my mom really got to meet them first. During Christmas time Alisa and my mom got talking and Alisa dropped by a beautiful christmas cd that Bryan was listening to also. So I wanted to do something for them. I sen them a angel and then they brought me this Christmas tree that smelled SOOO good.  Then we both were able to go home, and I never talked to them until I saw them at an appointment at the BMT clinic. I took the chance to get their number so I could keep in contact. And we did. Sadly Charlie passed away, but I still kept in touch with Alisa and her girls! They are so wonderful and I just love them. I have adopted them into part of my family! So a while ago I was able to go to Vernal and go hang out with all of them. It was the best weekend! Alisa's house is beautiful along with all of her girls houses! They are such fashionistas! Then I was able to meet the kids! They are all so stinking cute! Then I went to Charlie's grave. It is beautiful! He has a tree right by his grave. And Alisa leaves food for all the animals that come down there just like he would have wanted!!!! Then I went to the movie with Tiff, Stef, Alisa, and some of their friends (Amber was not able to come she was sick =(.) But we watched the proposal it was so much fun. And they got popcorn and put milk duds right in it! I was a little leary at first but it makes the milk duds so soft and mmmmm good. Bryan did that! Okay whew that was a long time typing. So now here are the pictures. I will probably have to do another post for all the pictures!

Tiffany and Me

Weekend with Alisa and her girls!

So I am a freakin slacker. I know I know. I have not gotten around to putting the pictures of this weekend on my computer. So I will just blog about it and then hopefully sometime soon put the pictures on. I got to go to Vernal to spend sometime with Alisa and her girls and their families. It was SO much fun. I absolutely loved it. I got to see all of the girls and meet their husbands and kids. I got to see all of their houses (except I only saw Ambers on the outside) Which by the way they are all beautiful!! I got to go walk around Charlie's pond and  I loved it!! Alisa and I went to get our toenails done and then we went to the salon called Pink (I think) to get her hair done, and I got some Bumble and Bumble hair stuff. Then we went to the farmers market and looked around. Then we went back to Alisa's house and just chilled. We couldn't find one of her cats Tigger but he was under the chair with a bad over his head. Then on Sunday Stef and her family came over and we ate dinner and just hung out! Ramsey was such a cute little boy, he and I would chase Bella around the yard. And then he kept asking me "want Lella?" Then we watched Thomas and he jumper off of my leg. James did not like me at first but he slowly warmed up to me. Ali got to stay with us Saturday night. She is so funny I love her to pieces. She told me everything I needed to know about Edward. Ashton is a doll. I think he was my buddy from the start. And Grayson is so stinkin' cute. He just about kills your shins in his rolly chair (ah I can't think of what they are called BRAIN FART oh boy). I absolutely love this family! Alisa is such an amazing lady and her girls are too! They are so kind and so fun to be around. And their kids are all dolls. I don't know how you couldn't love them. And their hubbys are so nice too. They are just an awesome family. I had such a great time out there and was so glad that I got to go and spend time with them all. I need to go out there again so and visit them. Thanks Alisa, Stef, Morgan, Ali, Ashton, Grayson, Tiff, Danny, Ramsey, Amber, Steve, and James! You guys are so great. I am so glad I now know you! I will have to come and visit you guys again soon! Love you guys!!!!

The Ragnar Race!

So there is a race that happens every summer. It is a huge race. It starts in like Logan area and ends at the National Abilities center in Park City. My Doc from Primarys called me and said that her and some of the people from the PICU would be running. So they came to our house on their break and slept, showered, visited, and ate. It was great fun. And they did  AWESOME. GO TEAM PICU DISTRESSORS!!!!

 This is a picture of an Anesthesiologist from Primarys (i think that is what he was) and his wife who drove the WHOLE time. She was a trooper!

This is a picture of from left to right- My Dr. Gitte Larsen, My Nurse Practitioner Kim Statler, and this guy was a last minuet fill in for the team he is also an anesthesiologist from the University of Utah. He was so awesome to jump in and help at the last minuet!

And lastly this picture is from left to right- Dr. Gitte Larsen, Nurse Practitioner Kim Statler, PICU nurse Tracy, and the PICU Pharmacist Jen.

tAyLoR sWiFt cOnCeRt!

Me, my niece Claircee, my sisters Lindsey and Brittany, and my cousins Chelsea and Melanie all got to go to Taylor Swift's concert! It was SO GOOD. She does an excellent job. Claircee loves Taylor Swift and was so excited to go to her concert. She sang along as loud as she could to most of the songs. Especially her favorite ones- Picture to burn, Should have said no, Fifteen, You belong to me, and Our song. But on one part of the concert it got to loud so she had to go out in the hall. But it was so much fun to just go with my sisters' and niece and hang out. and have a girls night out! There will be more pictures to come. There are pictures of her, the stage (which she had planned ever since she was like six she had dreamed about having her first tour stage like this) And then some of her tour bus! Kellie Pickler was supposed to sing with her and before her but she was sick so that was a bummer, cause I love Kellie Pickler as well as Taylor Swift. But she did have Gloriana open for her. If you have not heard of them download there songs. They are great~!

Schools out for summer!

Well I did it! I finished my very first semester of college. Oh boy it was an experience. I don't know what I am going to do when I get in harder math classes. That was not a very fun class but I think that I did pretty good. I am not sure what I am going to go into so for now I guess I will just start back up in the Fall with more generals!!! I don't know how other people do college for a long time. Props to you!

Lunch with Kim

So on Thursday I got to go to lunch with one of my nurses that took care of me in the PICU! Her name is Canada Kim!!! She moved to NYC and was back in Salt Lake visiting for a couple of days. So I got to go and visit with her. I love her to death. She is such an amazing, wonderful, and I could go on forever about her! She is AWESOME! I would not be here if it weren't for her and many other of Dr's nurses and CNA'S along with many others. But I gotta hand it to her she always got me when I was mean and I would yell at her and all sorts of stuff (I know I know I was a little turd....and I know many of the other nurses in the PICU had me on my mean days which were many that is you Jamie, Kaite P, Katie C, Brenna, Sue, Suzanne, Tonya, Alisha, Mindee, Julie... uh this could be a long blog if I continue!) But I was just so excited to be able to see her and to visit with her. She brought her "Mum" along (that is how they say it in Canada) and no wonder Kim is such an amazing person just look at her mom! But anyways I was just excited and wanted to post this picture of us! I love ya Kim!!!!! Come back soon!

Um I like my men cold, dead, and sparkling!!!!! Can I get the Cullen Boy's to come over to my house? Geez they picked so freakin' hotties for the movie. I applaud the casting director! But seriously WOW Edward is hot, Emmett is hot, Jasper is hot, and even Carslile is hot! I seriously love that movie and  I wish and hope and pray that they will continue the movie and that Bella will end up being turned into a vampire so she can be with Edward forever. I have not read the second book the whole way through or the others so if that happens I am unaware. But I want it to happen so bad. And um I want an Edward he is so nice, hot, and interesting, geez so many things. Oh and I would not mind a Jasper, Emmett, or Carslile to go along with my Edward. If you have not seen Twilight, GO OUT AND SEE IT NOW!!!!!!!! I AM A TWILIGHT FANATIC NOW!!!! Ah geezzzzz. But it is a good thing to be hooked on!

Celebrity Sighting in Oakley, Utah!

Why are they called Wisdom Teeth?

Well on Friday morning I got mu wisdom teeth out. I did okay until today. I think I have a dry socket. And holy crap it hurts. You think all that I have been through I would be okay and tolerate it but wow I am being such a baby. I don't know what my deal is. But why do they call them wisdom teeth? Anybody? Is it because you are smarter when you get them out? Who knows all I know is that it sucks to get them out. 

Can you say Puffy Mc Pufferson?

My Birthday Crown!

Well I just had to post this, because my sister Lindsey got me this crown that lights up for my birthday along with some Roxy boots. But she obviously knew that I would like the crown or she would not have gotten it. PLUS it LIGHTS UP!!! Anyways I just wanted to show everyone my crown. (oh sad that I am so excited about a plastic crown!!!) HA HA I just noticed that I look like I have a cowboy hat on. Like  a rodeo queen. I always wanted to be a rodeo queen. There is nothing wrong with rodeo queens!

What a work out!

I am trying to workout every day. (And it is kickin my BUTT) I seriously thought I was in okay shape, then I did the Biggest Loser workout with my sister Lindsey and my momasaun. HA HA I am so out of shape it is not even funny. Every muscle in my body hurts and is burning!! Seriously I need to keep working out and gettin in shape for summer and the warm weather! YA BUDDY!

!!!!CANCER SUCKS!!!!

CANCER TOTALLY SUCKS! Katie you and your family are in my prayers! Stay strong and know that it will all be okay. It will hurt for a while! I got these two sayings from a wonderful lady and her girls that I met in the Bone Marrow Unit. Their father and her husband had multiple myloma. And he passes away March 15, 2008. These are poems that they sent to me. I thought they might help. Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different path along the way, We are all meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay.... Our destination is a place far greater than we know, For some, the journey's quicker, for some, the journey's slow. And when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward and find and everlasting peace, together with the Lord. Then this is the second one: God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it! I hope this helps. I love you tons. Please let me know if I can do anything for you or your family. You are all in my prayers!

A sad sad day for Arizona

Well everyone, they lost! I can't believe it. I thought the would have a chance. And they did. They hung right in there with them, but in the end.........the steelers won. At least Arizona finally made it to the superbowl. But all of you Arizona fans there is always next year. We will just have to wait. But......my brother would make fun of me so bad. Because I am a true through and through Atlanta Falcons fan. I know I know even though Michael Vick is a dog fighter you have to give him credit he is half man half amazing. But I had to pick a team for our superbowl party and I like Arizona alot better than the Steelers and because Atlanta wasn't in thats why I picked the Cardinals. WHEW....that made no sense it was just a bunch of jibber jabber. But anyways Happy Superbowl everyone. And sorry my last post was a horrible picture sorry!!!! 

I need help!!!!

I need help. I want my blog to be as cute as everyone elses, but cutest blog on the block is not compatible with mac's. So...... if any of you have any ideas of what program like cutest blog on the block (or if cutest blog on the block works and I am just dumb) please let me know. Hope you are all enjoying the snow and cold. Especially all of you out in Vernal. I heard it was the coldest place in Utah yesterday! BRRRRR. Anyways everybody have a great day!!!!!

It's been a long while

Geez, its been a long while since I have blogged. I have been so busy wit school. And then all of this week an last week I have been tending for a couple in Deer Valley while they take care of a band called Due West. I would go over at like six at night or earlier and not get done until twelve thirty. Good thing the kids were so good. I love them. Anyways, about the band Due West, they are SO AWESOME. I love their music. They are not selling their albums in stores yet, because they are just kind of taking off in their career. They sing contry, but their songs are fun and up beat. They have such a unique sound. They are all from Nashville and one of the guitarists/backup singers is named Matt Lopez. He wrote the song for Lady Antebellum "Loves looking good on you." He also wrote some of their songs on the album. Then the lead singer is named Tim Gates. He reminds me of Keith Urba, but most people think he looks like Billy Ray Cyrus, but I thin he looks more like Keith. Mark looks like a country Josh Grobin. Then there is the other guitarist/back up singer and his name is Brad. Then they have Doug, Clay(who has played guitar for Diamond Rio and many other), and then the funny one Tommy who plays drums. Guys and Girls PLEASE check out their website and just take a looksee and see what you think. I love them! And they are such nice guys! So take a gander at their website. IT IS duewest.com Anyways also I have been to the DR. Today I had a two hour glucose test. And for all of you that have to get it when you are prego and drink that nasty dextrose drink, I don't know why you would keep having kids, cause you have to get that test everytime right? It took EVERYTHING and I mean everything I had not to just throw it all up. YUCKY. But I won't know the results for a little bit. Also I got my pint of blood out also and Dr. Kushner said that I would be doing this for two years YIKES. Because my feritain level is still high it is like 1500 and normal is like 300. But it has dropped cause it was 7000 and the first. Anyways, I hope all is well. I love you all so much.  OH YEAR WELCOME HOME ELDER JAKE VANDYKE!!!!! Check out  Due West's website! See ya'll. Love ya

Scared to death!

I am starting college this week. And I am so scared I cannot even explain it. And it causes so much stress just signing up for the classes. I can't imagine what going to the classes, labs, and homework will be like. Plus for those of you who don't know, I guess the hospital had some good effects on me, because I wan to go into nursing. And um looking at the credit hours (120 total) I was a little intimidated. Then the nursing administrator showed me the average GPA that previous students that have applied to the nursing program had and it was 3.87. UMMMMMMM HA HA.  After I got done just giggling to myself I was so sick to my stomach. Brenna, Jami, Katie how in the name did you do it???? So everybody keep me in your thoughts and pray for me cause I am so nervous I don't know what I'm gonna do. Anyways hope you all have a good week! Love ya!!!!

Meet My Twin Karie

I just figured out how to do this on my computer! It is so cool. It is called Photo Booth, and I can take my picture and do some pretty wierd and crazy things to it. Some are kind of scary so I won;t post tehm, but others are cool! Anyways. Hope you all had a very happy new year and had fun brining in the new year also (if you stayed awake!). Anyways some of you might havethis on your computer but I think that it is pretty cool, so those of you that have this just might think i am dumb and crazy. And even if you don;t have this you might think that.
