The Past Two Weeks Summed Up In A Very Awesome Blog Post
(If you guessed that's what the title stands for, you get a cookie...or a small parade.)

Sorry I haven't updated my blog in a while! I know, you've been DYING to know what's going on in my life. I've been completely swamped lately. I'm still a bit swamped, but after a couple break downs this week, I've decided it was time to vent and give myself a little de-stress time. Why did I have a break down...or two? I don't really know. Midterms are next week. I really only have one (research design, go figure), so that shouldn't be it. I've been hanging out with great people, doing fun things. Well, here...while I'm on the subject, let me just give a quick synopsis of what I've been up to since my last post!

USA kicked major butt at the Olympics! AND Evan Lysecek won gold! (okay, I know that's not what I have been doing personally, but I watched the Olympics enough to feel like I was there! I may or may not have stayed up still ridiculous hours at night to watch the coverage I missed during primetime.)

I went to a couple more of those crazy Aggie basketball games.

I have had a taste of Aggie ice cream--it IS as good as they say!

I broke my printer (tip: when something gets jammed and you can't get the tray to come out, it's probably not supposed to). I called my mom, had a meltdown, she called my dad, dad called me, dad talked me through fixing my printer. (I love my parents!)

I had a major flare-up with my SI joint last weekend. IT SUCKED. If you don't have a clue what i'm talking about, in short it means I had a ridiculous pain in my hip joints. Fortunately, I pushed through it and I'm functioning again...and still working out. (though, I would like to see more significant results...)

For a couple days I thought I was going to Mexico for spring break with some friends, but I don't have a current passport. Turns out, it's hard to get one in less than two weeks. (This also contributed to the meltdown.)

I found out Ryan and Janae are having a GIRL! YAY! They aren't 100% sure it's a girl, but that's their best guess right now. I'm a very happy Aunt Becky. I would be if it were a boy too! I'm just excited to be Aunt Becky to the EIGHTH power!

I am the 2010 Magnet Madness Champion! Huh? you say. K, so I think the deal is that I'm not supposed to tell anyone exactly what Magnet Madness is. I can only say that it is a VERY big annual event in my ward and I now have some crazy awesome bragging rights. Plus, I've discovered a talent (no matter how pointless it may be) that I never knew I had. Oh, and I scored a gift card to Texas Roadhouse! All in all, it was awesome.

AND

Today I went to the HEAU (Health Educators Assoc. of Utah) conference in SLC. It was pretty darn awesome. Can I just say, I'm very pleased with my current career path? heh...if you can call it that. Seriously, though, I'm so excited about what I'll get to do and the people I'll get to work with. They are so passionate about their work. Who wouldn't be? They get to help people live happier, healthier, longer lives! I am really proud of myself for being in a graduate program, too. It is really going to take me places and push me to be so much better. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for this opportunity.

Well, that's the jist of it in a nutshell--a very large nutshell. And here's a few pics I took while messing around, trying to get a decent pic of my new haircut for you to enjoy!








Maybe I should work on a different angle....
