So life has come and taken me for an exciting ride the last little while. Within the last few months I have been making some big changes in my life and sometimes I wonder why I have decided to take on so much change all at once...haha all I can think of is that I am some kind of crazy person that likes a challenge...so bring it on! To start off with a few months ago I started applying at a lot of different hospitals around the state and I was finally lucky enough to get a job interview about a month and a half ago for the new Intermountain Medical Center down in Murray, I interviewed and then a month went by without hearing a word from them. So I started looking at my other options and what else I would like to achieve with my life like going back to school, volunteering somewhere, what other jobs there are out there...stuff like that. Once I decided on a few things that I would like to do, I broke down and finally made a for sure decision. The biggest decision was that I am going to spend a couple of weeks this next summer in Africa. Oh boy this decision was a hard one but as well as a very exciting one. I am so excited and scared but it will be a great experience and I am so lucky to be able to be going. Right after I put my deposit in for my trip I got word from the Hospital that I got the job I applied for. Then after that I got a position at a different branch at AFCU...So I now have a big trip planned and need to get funding for and two new jobs within the last couple of months. I am so excited to have things start changing again but at the same time it is really hard having change. I have the hardest time dealing with change, I fight it every step of the way but at the same time I thrive and grow so much with change. I am scared/nervous/excited and happy all at once about all the different changes that are coming my way, I just hope that I can sail through it with flying colors :)
Every year at Christmas Grandpa Stucki makes everyone in the family sleighs, they are just made out of candy and every year grandpa comes up with something different about them. Him and grandma are just amazing people and I am so lucky to have them as grandparents. I love them both so very much!!
This guy right here is my uncle Dave. He is one fun guy. He likes everything and anything that has to do with guns and I am lucky to LOVE guns so he WILLINGLY takes me shooting with him. He was very surprised the first time we went shooting...he put out our target and told me that he wanted to see how well I could shoot...I said ok and when to town on it....after I unloaded the gun he brought the target in to see how well I did and this was what his reaction was "Damn girl!!! You ACTUALLY know how to shoot! You are pretty good!" :) I will have to say he was pretty shocked.
Also every year at christmas time grandpa stucki makes homemade pretzels, something that he use to do with his mom and he has been doing it ever since he was real young. Anyway I have been able to learn how to make them and I am hoping to be able to carry on the tradtion of making this pretzels! I have been making this with grandpa for the past 3 or 4 years straight, I have helped him many times but for the past few years it has just been me and him doing it. I love spending the time with him, we get to have a really great talk and I get to learn more about my grandpa everytime we do it. So far this year we have made 2 seperate batches (each batch takes at least 3 hours or longer) and we might be doing more this year.
This is a picture of us in the process of making the pretzels.
This little guy was mad that my phone wouldn't let him make a phone call..
This is a "sugar glider" They are some really cool animals, one of my co-workers bought two and decided to bring them in to work to show us one day. I like them! They are so cute, I think that one day I might get one!
A couple of months ago I ent to Colorado to visit some of my family out there, and I was there we went to a Brad Piesley concert. It was fun, he ended up singing one of my favorite songs called "Whiskey Lullaby". It was a great concert!
This is my other "adopted brother". My cousin Kyle. When we were younger I use to be able to "beat up" this kid and be able to pin him down....Now look at him! He is over a foot taller than I am, man that makes me feel just a little one the short side.
This awesome guy is Uncle Terry (aka Tall guy or Uncle T) This man right here is one of the quietest guys (besides my dad) I have ever known. He is also one of the most "go with the flow" kind of guys I have every known as well. I love my uncle T he is quite the guy, Thanks for everything we talked about!! You are awesome!
This picture was taken at the concert. Kelly, Sara and I had a ton of fun that week while I was there visiting them! I need to go back to visit again soon, I miss those girls!! Thanks girls for the fun filled week, I really needed it!!
This is me and Will! Oh Will how much I miss our times that we would be able to sit and just talk about everything! You are one amazing friend!! Thanks for always being you and be so stinking sweet to me and just have a great time with life! I miss ya Will!!!
I touched a sea animal
I get this look all the time....from everyone, he is the only one that I got pictures of showing it...He is wondering what is going on ;) It is called ALOTS of Mischievousness!!
There are tons of unknowns in my life that I am trying to figure out at the moment.
This little squirrell wanted to come home with me, don't worry I didn't let him.
