i'm a big kid now.

it's been a while since i've posted and i know my thousands of readers, or maybe...hundreds, more like fifty...okay, my mom has probably been distraught over my lack of blogging.

truth is, i haven't had much time since starting my big girl job...internship. basically it's the same thing except i pay them instead of them paying me. super fun. but actually, it is. i am loving seeing how all of my education is actually of use in the real world. who would have thought!?

i've already started assessing, charting, and counseling patients on my own {with supervision of the real dietitian} of course. but basically, i evaluate and counsel them and she just makes sure i'm not doing anything crazy too crazy. and i love it. so far i've just been in a few long term care/assisted living facilities. next week i start my rotations at the dialysis center. talk about terrifying, but i'm pretty excited. i'm sure i'll learn a ton there.

i even have a name tag. nothing makes you feel as official as a name tag.

other happenings. oh yeah, we went to lake powell. it was as amazing as always. tanner (cousin) came home from his mission. finally. and joined us at powell. best part of the trip was having him back...well that and our houseboat neighbors who let us borrow their wi-fi and put on a fabulous firework show every night.  basically life is good. 

i miss you powell....
