Hi all! I figured since Jess posted my pic, and I love to hear what everyone else is up to that it was about time for me to write something. Life is good...busy but good. I'm living in Bountiful, UT with my sister, her husband, and their four adorable kids! I love it! I'm going to school full time at the UofU and will graduate in the Spring in Health Promotion and Education, then I plan to continue in the fall getting my Masters of Public Health. I'm writing this on here so you will all keep me to it! Hopefully next summer will be spent doing an internship abroad as was this past one. I spent two months in Bolivia working with CARE (an international non-profit organization). I absolutely loved it. The two projects I worked with were Maternal and Infant Health out in the campo (middle of no-where Bolivia communities) and then with Adolescents and Violence Prevention in the larger cities. It truly was amazing to be there learning about a new culture and loving every minute of it.
Along with going to school full time, I'm currently working two jobs. Well kind of, one of my jobs is actually a year of service that I am doing with the AmeriCorps. (Kind of like the Peace Corps but domestic.) They have placed me with the Health Access Project where I help people who do not have any medical insurance and who qualify by their low income, get the medical care they need donated. It is a great program and I love it! I will finish the end of this month, but am hoping they will hire me as staff...I'll keep you posted! I'm also still working at the Olive Garden...5 years and still going strong. Crazy, I know. It is just the perfect job to have while I'm still in school.
Boys are still dumb, just in case any of you were wondering...I did fall in love with a Spanish/German/Peruvian while I was in Bolivia, but the long distance thing is hard to work out (he is in Spain right now), so I am enjoying just being single.
Love you all, can't wait to hear from more of you.

Trish I had no idea you were in Bountiful. I was up there all the time to visit my bro and his fam when I lived in Orem. I would have loved to see you! Now we are in Arizona so it would be kind of a trip now. Bummer. It was good to hear what you are up to though. Good luck with everything. -Cyn
