November 2013!

Okay okay...I know it's almost the end of December and I'm just now updating my blog! I've been a horrible blogger but I've been a little bit busy between my externship at the cancer center at the ruby memorial hospital and moving into a new house in Fairmont West Virginia!

Anyway, the month of November has been a wonderful month! I was able to start my externship at the Ruby Memorial Hospital at the Mary Bab Randolph Cancer Center! It was a wonderful experience and I learned a lot from the patients coming in every single day. It was often a humbling experience being a part of a life changing experience with many different people. From the last day of treatment to finding out they have cancer. I am truly blessed for the health that I enjoy on a daily basis.  I will always be grateful for the experience I had. I have a job interview there.....so wish me luck!

The month of November also brought the opportunity to see Josh Groban in concert! I know all of you are jealous....he was absolutely amazing. Even more amazing was the fact that our ticket were free! My dad was able to get them from a coworker because the coworker would not be able to go....Thank you so much! I had two tickets and was so excited to share it with a friend/little sister Emmalee Hart! We were both so excited!

Here we are heading out to Pittsburgh!

Josh Groban was so amazing! He seriously sounded exactly the same in concert as he does on his albums! I was starstruck and decided that he could marry me right now! He was extremely funny as well....we were laughing hard a lot. The band was awesome as well! Many talented musicians....just sharing their talent and loving what they do! It was such a fun night and I am glad I got to share it with a great girl!

This month also brought Thanksgiving! We were able to spend the holiday with the Harts! My family and I have known them for over ten years and they are amazing. We had lots of wonderful food and were able to share some of the things we are grateful for. I am grateful for all the wonderful things I have and the opportunities I have had over the past year from being able to attend school and meet new friends, to moving to west virginia and meeting new friends here, and being healthy and graduating and working at my externship, to learning new things. Overall I am grateful for my family and the joy they bring into my life! I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and the blessings that come along with the knowledge of a loving Heavenly Father, who blesses me and looks over me.

This month also brought me a double middle ear infection....I know it sounds horrible right?! It was no fun for about three weeks. It started out as having liquid that was not draining in the middle of my ears but then it was starting to become an infection. I was able to be on antibiotics and some steroids and that seriously helped....it was pretty painful for a little while.  I felt a little bit off and dizzy quite a few times but its now so much better.

We also were able to move to a bigger house in Fairmont. Its about 15 minutes or so away from Morgantown.  I really have liked it here so far. Its much more quiet and we have a lot more space.  I have enjoyed unpacking and moving things(not really....they were pretty long days). I am finally unpacked and organized but my room needs a serious makeover!

Anyway, that pretty much sums up my month of November.  It has been filled with fun and working and life.
