My own worst enemy

I really get annoyed when people don't update their blogs once in a while. Their negligence puts a real damper on my blog-stalking, forcing me to pay attention in class or find something else to look at on the internet. Interestingly, I learned yesterday that "Generation Y" (of which I fall into) must constantly be multitaksing....which explains my need to blog-stalk in class. Anyway, in the event that others have been irritated with my lack of a post, here goes!


1. I had a birthday and I'm old. No offense to those of you who are older than me, I don't think of you as old...only myself. Fortunately I got many wonderful gift to mask the disappointment of my aging body.

For example, this beautiful dining room table, compliments of Barbie and Chad. Not sure if Chad knows about it though.... :)

My sweet mom came for a few days to celebrate my birth. We had so much fun having our first overnight guest, and it didn't hurt that she did her fair share of housework. I would wake up to an unloaded dishwasher (a first), clean and folded laundry, and other unexpected changes to our humble abode. She earned a permanent room in our house, as we have been refering to it as "Barbie's room" since.

2. Hankie has finalized his decision to study mechanical engineering...which means only 96 more credits to go! Ugh. Good thing I love him because I am determined to get out of Provo ASAP and this decision adds a few extra years to my stay. He has been working so hard to get good grades in school and provide for our little family by working 2 jobs. Which may have you asking, "why don't you work, Katie?" Well, I'm trying...which leads me to #3.

3. I'm in Phoenix!!! The Marriot School of Management decided to cancel class for a week and have a career trip for MPA students. I was applied to the Phoenix trip, conveniently the location of my Krissy! Thankfully, they let me come a few days early to visit her! Starting Tuesday, I (along with 5 other students) will go meet with about 15 potential employers, begging for a job! hahaha! Hopefully Mayo Clinic wants to offer me a job upon graduation, at which point I will drag Hankie by his gangly toes to Phoenix to live. I have this idea in my head that I want to go into non-profit hospital administration, possibly influenced by my love of House and desire to be like Cuddy? Who knows! :)

Thats all for now. I'm bored of my own stories. I hope all of you who aren't updating your blogs are doing well!
