I am the loser friend, but I still love-a you all!


Good grief! I hadn't realized how long it's been since I saw you all--even on this blog! It's great to see everyone's pictures and everything. I'm still in the wild west Rock Springs. I've been working and working and last semester I took some classes too. Now I'm an official CNA (I can change bedpans and brush your teeth) and phlebotomist (I can draw your blood (needle, not a pencil) and it's more fun than bedpans). This semester I'm taking 21 credits and only working one job, so I'll probably get back on this thing. For everyone whose phone calls and emails I haven't returned, I'm really sorry. I'm not moving to Salt Lake last December after all, either, which stinks since I won't be around all those Kitchens. Merry Christmas, though, and Happy New Year, and I think I owe everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and uh...Happy Halloween, too. I'll be applying to nursing schools this spring and hopefully I'll get one near one of you guys.

I've been noticing that you guys all have incredibly cute kids. I guess I'd better get on with things or your kids will be too old to play with mine. I'll have to get married first, though. Let me know if you all have any suggestions.


As for pictures, this is the only one I can find right now. This was from the summer, but except for a little more hair, I look about the same...sadly, even when it's not windy.


Take care, all! I love you tons!


Erin

Hey Erin! That is cool that you are an official CNA and phlebotomist. And your picture makes me wish I were off hiking somewhere, although I guess it is a little cold for that right now. I will have to settle for snowshoeing or something like that instead. I haven't talked to you for forever, and I don't have your email, or else I would send one your way...So much has happened since I last talked to you...I am married, and almost graduated, I had my BFA show...

Anyway, good luck with your school work and everything else. You are amazing. Keep smiling!

ERIN!!!! You're alive! I'm so glad. And I think you look great, wind and all. When are you coming back in town, it is definitely time for a get together. Congrats on your CNA. Let us know when you find out where you're headed.

Erin! You look exactly the same! I ran into your cousin here in Texas in my ward - he was serving a mission here (he might be home by now?). That was last summer... Congrats on the CNA! That is a ton of hard work, and very, very respectable work. Hope all is well, and stays that way!

Erin...you are fantastic--I love ya and miss ya! So fun to see a pic--I miss everyone:) Sometimes I feel so far away and am thankful that we can check in on one another every now and then! If you ever want to see Alabama let us know:) We'd love to have ya--and that goes for anyone else reading this:)

Rebecca! So good to hear from you, and you too Allison! Wowee! Congratulations both on getting married and everything. This blog was a great idea, wasn't it?

And Al and Katie, so good to hear from you. Al, we definitely need to get together. As soon as I can feel like driving again, I'll get down there. I had an accident on the freeway a couple of weeks ago and though I wasn't hurt (thank the Lord, because honestly, I thought it was over--and it was a real big miracle that it wasn't), but I'm still nervous about driving that far while there's still ice.

Erin, are you okay? You didn't get hurt at all? Well, maybe we'll just have to come visit you. How's your June looking?
