Life is GOOD!


Have I ever said how much I love this kid because I do.. SO MUCH!! I don't know how he puts up with me but he does! I have these little breakdowns almost weekly now and he just lets me and is so funny about it. I love school I really do...and I love my job (some days more than others) but the combination of the two sucks sometimes! When I got accepted to the program we decided I had to keep working full time to keep ahead but I didn't realize how hard it would be! These last couple weeks have been crazy!! So this is my typical week, it's awesome that I work 12 hour shifts because I can work 3 days a week and still be full time so I do that and then Monday have school from 12-4:30 Tuesday clinicals from 5am-3pm and Wednesday school from 12-7:30. Add in some random psych clinicals that are 8 hours and what do you get?? 4 weeks with no days off!! Holy cow it has been crazy! Add that to switching from days and nights pretty often and you get emotional Katie! I came home from work one night and was onery and mean to Jared so I just went to bed.. Well that just made things worse and me more onery and I just started crying. Jared is in the next room studying and this is how it went. Me: "Jared??" Jare: "What?" Me: "Will you come in here?" Jare: "I don't know are you going to be nice to me?" Me: "Just come here" So Jared comes in our room and by this time I was sobbing! Jared: "What's wrong?" Me "I..I.. du-du-don't know! I..I..ju-ju-just can't stop crying." Jare: "Why?" Me: "I don't know!!" Jare: "So you're crying for no reason?" Me: (still sobbing)"Its just too much!" By this time Jared was probably thinking what kind of lunatic did I marry?? So he proceeded to calm me down and tell me we had 2 weeks until spring break and then when we got back only 4 weeks of school left and that YES I could actually survive that long. At least we could get a good laugh after the fact! So spring break next week and then 1 month of school!! Hooray!! So excited for summer! Jared unfortunately has to go summer semester but only until the end of June. We've got a couple races planned to get us back in shape and then back to school in August for my supposed easiest semester of nursing school! Yippee!! Anyways! I don't think I've ever written this much on my blog but I've got one more story to tell because I want to remember this! So Tuesday marked the one year mark since we got our offer accepted on our house! Holy cow it has gone by so fast! I remember the date because it was my little sisters birthday. So last year me and Jared decided that maybe we should start looking at houses while they were doing the 8k tax credit. So we started looking on KSL and then realized we had a friend that was a relator and called him. So we had been looking at houses for a month or so and it was starting to drag on and I was getting impatient! I wanted a house!! We had put offers on one in RIverdale and one in Roy and hadn't gotten them accepted so one day Jared decided we should just go out looking in neighborhoods that we liked. Only problem was the neighborhoods we liked were more expensive then we wanted to go. Well we pulled up to this cute little gray house that had a for sale sign and called on it and it was in our price range!! It was a HUD home which I thought meant a crappy house but turns out it's just a house that someone with an FHA loan (pretty much a first time homebuyer) had defaulted and the government took over ownership of the home. I liked it and we put it an offer. Two days later Jarad (our relator) called and said our offer was accepted! Woo hoo! My family was going to be in Ogden for dinner for Abby's birthday so we asked if he would open it up so we could go through it and Jared called his family to come over. It was 8 or 9 at night and dark and the house had no power so we went through it with flashlights and a ton of people! Well my parents were leaving and someone yells inside the house "Someone called the cops." WTH? So me and Jared walked out and this guy is on our grass yelling "This house is not for sale!" (while standing next to the for sale sign in the yard) And kept arguing with us until Jarad showed him the papers saying that we had our offer accepted on the house. So my dad seems pissed and are leaving and my brother in law Jared (enough Jareds for you yet? Welcome to my life.) Pulls out and yells "everybody leave the cops are coming." ha ha ha! The neighbor settled down and just left and my dad called me and said that apparently this guy and him started getting into it and it was the closest he had come to getting into a fist fight in 20 years. So funny! Needless to say we haven't talked to that neighbor, he's probably still embarassed, but I think it's a hilarious story. Welcome to the neighborhood huh??
