Hello 2009!

So, a friend of mine did this. She made goals (her's was 22 by 22) seeing as I am about to turn 23 (January 18th for those of you who care or forgot) I've decided to do 24 by 24. I even have a head start, so no excuses, right? So here they are:

1. Go running twice a week, every week.
2. graduate from BYU
3. participate in a 5K--preferably for a foundation, i have my eye on the Susan G. Komen Foundation on May 10th here in SLC.
4. Post on this blog more, like at least once a month--ill try not to bore you...
5. Get my first real job!
6. floss my teeth like once a week at least--sorry if that grosses you out.
7. Go to the temple at LEAST once a month
8. actually hang pictures on the wall and finish decorating my apartment
9. make a study plan for the NCLEX
10. Take the NCLEX and rock it.
    
11. Call people more...family, joanna, taylor, beka...there are too many people I keep too little of contact with....
12. Read a book for leisure. I am taking suggestions...
13. Make some ground on my genealogy.
14. Learn how to make family names temple ready and finishing their temple work.
15. Go to Lake Tahoe...let's face it, its beautiful and it would be fun :)
16. Go to Guatemala. Heath says Lake Atitlan is even prettier than Lake Tahoe, plus it would be cool to see his old mission stomping grounds.
17. See Tiffany after she gets home from her mission!!! (MAY!)
18. Do my visiting teaching EVERY month.
19. Take my car to get a tune up (oil, breaks, ya know)
20. plan at least one other meal a week, besides Sunday dinner :)
21. be able to do 10 push-ups without my arms being so sore its ridiculous....it really is pathetic
22. Get more sleep (at least approach 8-9 hours a night...)
23. Learn how to use photoshop better
24. enjoy the outdoors more--hiking, bike riding, skiing, etc.

So there you go! My plans over the next year and 18 days! I'll keep you updated as to how I am doing.

I also saw this link on another blog. It was kind of interesting, hope you enjoy!

Oh, and Happy New Year!

Commercials

Does any one remember these commercials?











holy cow. I just don't get commercials...Let me know if you have any other ones that you think are odd, stupid, funny, whatever. I just find it interesting the way that companies try to get you to buy their stuff. To be honest, it doesn't really work for me. But i will hand it to them, I do get a laugh from some of them, even if it is at their expense ;)

Update:

So Heath and I are still alive....We are just finishing up with finals and we each have one left (as I type this I am reviewing, or perhaps procrastinating reviewing the ethical issues involved in end of life care...oh ICU...)! I will be so glad when this semester is over, although I canNOT believe that I am already in capstone...It will be so much fun! Which reminds me, I haven't even said where I will be! I will be at UVRMC (Utah Valley Regional Medical Center) here in Provo!


I am going to be in the Cardiac ICU stepdown Unit! I am really excited and have heard a lot of good things about the unit! A little closer to actually being a real nurse everyday!

Heath's birthday is this coming Friday!


We are going up to SLC to celebrate with his extended family. It will be really fun to see everyone!

We are spending Christmas in Oklahoma this year.


We leave on December 24th and come back on January 2nd, so it will be a good trip! I am hoping that I will get to see some of my good friends while I am back :)

Let's see...nothing else too exciting yet. Maybe I'll get some good pictures from this weekend? I guess you'll just have to check back and see!
