May be my new career...

So I went to the What Women Want expo today... I walked around a little bit with Erin. At one point we passed a booth for a school called Career Step. It trains people in medical transcription.
I'm really interested in it, and I'm excited to do it.
I still need to do some research, and make it sure it's not one of those "too good to be true" careers. If I can get into it, it would make things a lot easier on Pat and I. We're not planning on having children for a couple years, but you never know what cards life is going to deal out.. If we get pregnant sometime soon, than if I'm already going through the training, I'll be able to be getting into the career right as our kid is born, which would be really helpful. If our plans work out, and we don't have kids for a while, than it will be nice to have some extra money saved up for when it does happen. at this point, if we got pregnant any time soon, Pat would have to get a second job. if I'm doing the medical transcription, than that wouldn't need to happen, and he could spend more time at home.

It would be so nice to have a career that I could do at home. I spend so much time on the computer anyways, that I would fit right into it :D
and, to make things even better, the school only costs a little over $1,000 dollars... it's still a little out of our price range, but they have finacial aid, so we could do it way easy.

I still have a lot more research to do on the sucject, so it'll be a little while before we make any huge plans, but I'm really excited about it :D:D

A couple more pages....

so I did a couple more scrapbook pages, let me know what you think...

This was our first date (Feb. 12th 2007) at Zion's National park.. Pat hates that picture of himself, but I think it's cute :D:D

This is me and my friend Paige. The top two pics. are us at the demolition derby, the bottom one is us hanging out in Vegas last month...

So I should be packing right now... I'm going up to Salt Lake tomorrow to help Deb and Mike with the What Women Want Expo. they're promoting their new photobooth ( http://www.funnyfacephotobooth.com/ ) I'm really excited, it'll be nice to get up to Salt Lake for a mini vacation, and hang out with my brother... I'm kind of torn though, cuz I've never been away from home since Pat and I got married. He's gone up to Salt Lake for work a few times, but I've never been the one to leave, and I know I'm gunna get really homesick... I think the hardest part will be sleeping alone. During the day I'll be fine, cuz I'll have things to occupy my mind, but as soon as it's time to go to sleep, your alone with your thoughts, and all I'lll have to think about is how much I miss my husband :(:(

well, enough stalling, I want to get this house clean before I leave, and I gotta work in a few hours... [/]procrastinating

Another Kidney Stone Adventure!!!

So, the Sunday before last, I started to get a pain in my side... I knew what was coming, but what I didn't know was how bad it would get...

It started at about 12, and got really bad late afternoon... it was just hurting so bad, and I was getting so sick. It just wouldn't go away, finally at about 4:30 Monday morning, I woke Pat up and he took me to the hospital... I was still sick this whole time (I threw up twice just on the walk between my front door and the truck) at the hospital they gave me this really awesome pain killer I think it was called Toradol or something... It was so amazing, it took away all the pain, but didn't give me the sick feeling I get on other pain killers... so I was feeling OK on Monday, I was pretty weak from throwing up so much, and not being able to eat... I went to work on Tues, feeling semi-OK, but my side started to hurt again really bad half way through my shift... they sent me home, and later that night it started all over again. the throwing up, the constant pain. At about 3:30 Wed. morning, I said a prayer, and fell asleep on the bathroom floor. I woke up, and all the pain was gone!! I felt fine... well, except the fact that I lost six pounds in three days, and hadn't eaten since Saturday night... but other than that, I was fine...

so... other than that... life is pretty boring... just workin.... and...... yeah....

Oh, we got a new computer!!!!! I'm going to go to College next semester, so I wanted to get something a little more reliable. we got a desktop, so it'll be better for school stuff, and I'll use the laptop for stuff like downloading movie and music and stuff. :D:D

oh, here's some new photos. enjoy :D:D

This is me and my friend Paige hanging out at the demolition derby.
