I passed!



On Friday I took the first part of my boards, Sonography Principles and Instrumentation and I passed. It was the most stressful two hours of my life. I'm so glad it's over. Next up...vacation until September 20!

I'm Back!

Well it's been over a year since I updated the blog. A lot has happened and we have both been so busy, blogging went to the bottom of the to do list. I survived my first year of school. It was the hardest thing I have done. I never thought I could study for 8+ hours a day but I accomplished my goals and it has paid off. This quarter in school we are actually seeing real patients. We offer free screenings at the school on Monday and Wednesday. It's been so fun to actually perform ultrasound on someone other than my classmates. We started the program with 17 and we are now down to 10. This is us on our first day of summer quarter, all ready to see our first real patient.



Michael and I went to Cabo in June. It was so fun to get away from life and enjoy spending time with each other with no worries. The resort we stayed at was amazing. It even had hot tub on the balcony. We did not want to come back.



While we were in Cabo, my Dad passed away. He had been battling stage 4 melanoma for almost a year. I'm so thankful that he only had to suffer for a short time. We're grateful for the gospel and our understanding of eternal families. My Mom has kept herself busy traveling around visiting all of us. We look forward to having her here again next week.

On Friday I'm taking the first part of my boards. I've been busy studying and I'm looking forward to a month vacation when it's over!
