Graduation!

So At the end of April I finally graduated from Nursing School. I didn't actually walk This is our pinning ceremony. It was kind of fun because Clint's mom is a nurse so she was able to pin me as a future nurse. Though I had graduated I still had state boards which made it feel as if I wasn't really done. I took boards on May 31st and may I say I will never forget that day. I don't think I have ever been that scared in my entire life. I didn't eat for a few days prior., I had Clint drive me because I was scared I was going to have a complete melt down and not be able to drive home. I told him to go somewhere because I was going to be there for a while. Well 45 minutes after Clint leaving I was calling him telling him to come pick me up because I was already done. I didnt know what to think because of how little of time it took me. Anyway, long story short, I passed and now am working at the American Fork Hospital in the Emergency Department loving every minute of it.

Clint's Elk hunt from last August.

Last August Clint drew out for his Limited Entry Elk hunt. I decided That I would go and see what the obsession was all about. Clint's dad and his brother Nathan came to help. We did a lot of hiking and yes I complained slightly but overall it was a really good experience. It was so fun on the last hike before we found the Elk that Clint wanted. We were walking on one of the trails, and of course we aren't talking because you have to be quiet to not scare away the Elk and we came upon approximately 100 cow elk. I have never been so startled. I was scared we were going to get trampled because when you turned to look up the hill it was covered in Elk. I had to fight every urge to scream. Anyway of course we didnt want to have them run the way we were going so Ralph, Clint's dad picked up a rock and threw it the way we were going so the Elk would go the other way. As the Elk Went up the hill we proceeded up the mountain and Clint and his dad went ahead of me and Clint because they could hear some Elk calling. Me and Nathan had to sit there and just listen. It had been about 15 min when we heard Clint shoot and I freaked out because I wanted to be next to him when he shot. Anyway we heard a few more shots go off and Nathan looked at me and I seriously was so excited. We waited a little longer to go up over the hill to see clint and ralph but when we did Clint was beaming he was so excited. The Elk was across a meadow and Covered in mud because it had just been in a Waller or something. ANyway we celebrated and called the crew to come help bring the Elk back to camp.

The actual skinning of the Elk was not something I wish to relive because they accidentally punctured the stomach or bowel I cant remember and it was the most fowl smell I have ever smelled. The hike back in the dark was quite cheerful because the wait had been lifted of whether or not we were going to go home with out a Elk. Now we are just waiting for it to get mounted and I am looking forward to when I get to go kill me a Spike Elk for more meat.

Until next time.

Not an exciting update but at least I did it. There will hopefully be some updates in the near future with births on new nieces and nephews, hopefully news of passing the NCLEX!!! And other wonderful happening in the Spencer household. I have some cute pics of my baby that I need to post. (my baby being my dog Brutis) he is so big and cute and he is my world as of right now until I actually talk Clint into letting my have a kid. But that must wait until I am done with school. ANyway until next time.

Overdue UPDATE!

Well it has been way too long since I have update this blog. I usually find something I would rather do more to be honest. I really have just been busy with school, work, life and family. Well the holidays were great,a little depressing ans usuall with not having my dad around. We had fun with family and friends. Over the last little while (the space of me not blogging) we have had many andventures and created many memories. The most important update is that we bought a house just over a year ago, and I havent put up any pictures because I wanted to have the yard done and maybe some decorations or something but I have a few I will share. MOre to come when it is spring or summer and I can take some of the outside with the cute new yard and without stupid snow covering everything.

Camping with the Hubby.

Another Missionary!!!!!!

Well It is here again. Another brother on a mission. I didnt think that Devin would ever be old enough to go on a mission. I mean for heaven sake he is my little brother. They are not supposed to grow up. I am actually so excited for him. He is going to Tulsa Oklahoma. I didnt think that I would be as sad as I was when he left. He and I never really got along. Actually we did, but man did we know how to fight and be really ruthless to eachother. I love the kid so much and am so proud of him for making the right decision. I am actually really jelous of him, due to the fact that he is going to be so blessed and many other wonderful experiences are just a minute away. The new system and the MTC is brutal by the way. It is a good thing but it is like tearing a band-aid off super fast. Painful but fast. We got out of the car and they told us we had thirty seconds for our good byes. I had time for a picture and then I turned around to give him a hug and they had taken him away. My mom and I had our little breakdown in the car. It is rough saying goodbye to the bro for two years. Good thing I have a lot to keep me occupied.
