Well, tonight is my first night on call. Of course I am wide awake since I slept as much as I could today to prepare for work tonight. Ah, the joys of night shift.
So, there is this little sight called Pinterest. Have you heard about it? Well, I am super obsessed. I have probably pinned a million projects. Thanks to my late nights I have started to complete some "pins". Here are the things I have been working on.

Polka Dot Shorts
Patterned pants have been all the rage, recently. When I was at Kohl's the other day I saw these adorable shorts:
I looked at those and thought, "Hey, I can make those". So I went right over to Michaels and bought some paint and a paint brush. I started this project a couple weeks ago, but I just finished tonight and I am so happy with the turnout.
Skirt Extender
I saw this on Pinterest and thought, how smart. Some young womens leaders saw this site and thought it would be a great activity to do with their girls. It's truely brilliant. The skirts in the stores are getting shorter and shorter. This skirt extender allows me to wear my shorter skirts and dresses modestly.
I took an old slip and sewed some cheap muslin I found at Wal-Mart on the the bottom. My slip is a white version of this.

Colored Pants
Everyone has seen the bright colored jeans in the stores recently, right? Well have you ever thought of making them yourself? A friend in my nursing classes actually told me about this today. You bleach an old pair of jeans and then dye them the color of your choice.
This is my new project. Tomorrow I am heading to the dollar store to pick up a cheap bin to soak my jeans in and some dye to color my old jeans.
What color should I do?
OR
any suggestions?

WICKED
That last post got a little emotional and embarrassing.
Now for a fun story.
Once upon a time, this little broadway musical came to Salt Lake City. This girl, wanted to go so bad but the tickets were too much for her. After all, she is her mothers daughter. She was determined to not give up, though. She was going to see this musical.
She heard about a drawing that was done at the theatre everyday before the show was performed. 20 tickets were given out to lucky participants of this drawing. The best part of this drawing was the tickets were only $25 if you won. $25!!!!! This girl, and her wallet, liked the sound of that. So, for three days she stood in the blazing sun with her fingers and toes crossed hoping her name would be drawn.
After the first day, she walked away a little sad not having won the drawing, but was determined not to give up. The second day, again, no dice. Although she did see a similarity to the names that were drawn from the cauldron. These lucky winners had folded there little papers. This girl walked away undefeated and with a plan for the next day: she was going to fold her paper.
The next day came. She arrived at the theatre with cash in hand and ready to win. She got her paper, filled out her information, and folded that little piece of paper like a beautiful fan. She kissed the paper for luck (not really) and dropped it into the cauldron.
Minutes later the drawing began. She stood amoungst a crowd of hopeful theatre goers with her hopes high (but still kinda low so she wouldn't be crushed). Five names were called, none of them hers. There were only 5 names left to be drawn. She was starting to feel a little let down. The next paper was drawn, the man gently pressed down the fan folds of the paper to read the name written. He took a deep breath to exclaim the name of the next winner of tickets. "JAMIE WARD!"
This girl recognized the name. It was hers. She politely pushed her way through the cheering crowd and walked up to the ticket both and asked, "two tickets please". She was so excited! She had won! She called her friend, Jena, and told her to drive up to SLC asap because they were going to see WICKED tonight.
They drove to the theatre on cloud nine. As they entered the theatre they were directed to their seats by the usher. They entered the main level and continued to follow the usher to the front of the theatre until they reached their row of asigned seats on the 5th row. 5TH ROW! Oh boy, did these girls jump up to cloud ten.
The show was just as wonderful and spectacular as the girls had hoped and wished.
It was the most magically WICKED evening this girl had ever had.

So...
It is currently 6:15 am and I have been awake for three hours. Who knew working 12 hours in the middle of the night would mess up your internal sleep clock? Ha
I have been studying for my ACLS test today and thought it would be a good time to give an appropriate update (just for you, Adri).
In early June I left the Provo scene and moved up to South Jordan. I found a room for rent in this little community called Daybreak.
I love it. The air feels so much fresher here compared to Provo. The great part about living in Daybreak is I live just 15 minutes away from here:
I really meant here:
I feel so blessed to have been able to find a job at such a great hospital and to be living in a great place. As much fun as I make of Utah, I know I am where I am suppose to be and doing exactly what I am suppose to be doing.
