Fallin' for it...

...the blog world, that is. It seems like everyone has one. Much like flip flops in elementary school, a coach (knockoff) handbag in middle school, Ugg boots in high school, and MissMe jeans in college, I am the last to jump on the trend. Better late than never?

Life is pretty crazy but unless you're a beach bum that seems to be the story. I'm about half way done with a paramedic program and loving it. I finished my EMT-Basic in 2010, my EMT-Intermediate in 2011, and I'll finish my paramedic in June 2012. Most people don't do it that way. Sometimes I feel like I'm smart for getting it all done back to back but then other times I wish I had the years of experience as an EMT-I that most paramedic students have. Oh well. I'll be done soon and then I'll be probably one of the youngest paramedics out there! I guess that's something to be proud of. Something I can REALLY be proud of is Keith! (My husband.) He finished his last day at BYU yesterday! He has worked so hard and I'm so glad he's done. His graduation was highly anticipated in our house. Now (once I take about 7 tests and a quiz today- not even exaggerating- and get home from class) we get to look forward to Christmas! I was just telling him last night how I was ready for a break. I love the holidays especially because we get to be with family. Unfortunately I won't get to see my parents in Texas this year but I am SUPER excited that we'll get to see his family and some of my extended family. Christmas is my favorite. I talked Keith into letting us go get a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. It's pretty dry and dead now but I don't care! I love having it up in our house.

It is tempting to stay and write to my little heart's content but darn all those tests and quizzes. They're gonna keep me busy today.
