WOW!!! Graduation approaching

So I finally got accepted to go to school in the winter!!!! I am so excited. Now I have to get into all the classes I need. I'm about halfway there and trying to get a few more. So its a work in progress. I need just a 23 more credits and I get to graduate with my bachelors. I am so excited. I will hopefully be done in April in Rexburg and walk in July!! Then I think I'm going to study for my GRE and MCAT possibly over during the fall. Kinda scary that this is all becoming real. I have always talked about it but now that it is getting close it weird. I'm happy though. I have worked so hard for this and can't wait to put that cap and gown on to walk the stage. :)

Football 2008

So last Thursday was the end of football for me at BYU-Idaho. It was bittersweet. I've made some great guy friends over the past 3 years being a trainer. This year has been probably the most fun. There is nothing like being able to watch the game from right up in front of the team itself. This year sadly there werent any great injuries on the field like the past two years. I remember my first semester as a "Head Trainer" and first football game I was covering, a guy broke and dislocated his ankle. It wwas probably the best injury I have ever seen. I've seen broken arm, dislocted elbows, plenty of sprained ankles, jammed fingers, and all that fun stuff. Oh yea and some good knee injuries. One I saw last year was a PCL tear. It was pretty sweet and the first and only I have ever seen. After being taught all the tests I have learned to test the knee, it was cool to do the test and then later find out I was right. I mean I had felt ACL, MCL, LCL and menicus tears before but the PCL is so uncommon. When I did the test it just went. I then was able to help hime with rehab. Thats part of what I like the best. I love the rush of helping the injury when it occurs. To be the first on the field. But I also love the rehab aspect as well. To watch that injury heal because of my help. Thats why I want to really start looking into getting my Masters in Athletic Training.

♥ Halloween 2008

This Halloween I went down to Idaho falls after work to see Sammy and Natti. I went down with my roommate Lauryn and we took Sammy trick-or-treating. We met up with Mom, Bonnie, Rachael, Natti, and Sam at the Zoo. (its wicked tiny so if you can even call it a real zoo) It is cute. They had people giving out candy around the zoo. Sam was so happy to see all the animals espically the Tiger. He was so cute he started to roar at it. :)

After the zoo we went back to the house and took Sam to a few houses. He was so cute. He is only 3 1/2 and already knows how to beg extra candy off of people. He tried to tell people that he needed some for his "friends" refering to me and Lauryn. And he also made sure that at the end he always said thank you before he left. He made it a fun night :)

Natti decided she loved leaves. We were trying to take pics and she was more interested in the crunch stuff she was sitting on. Then decided if it was so much fun to play with that it must be good to eat as well. It was hilarious to watch her face when she ended up putting it in her mouth.
