Work, School, Sleep, Work, School, Sleep, Work, School, Sleep

This is on crappy pattern...But..... I wouldn't change it for anything!!!

Work is great. I love the people I work with and I love what I do. Working at PCMC is so much fun! well... minus the 35 minute drive there and back. If the hospital could just move to Taylorsville I would be so happy!!!

School kind of sucks. I wish I was DONE!! But, I have a long ways to go! Only a couple more semester!!!

Sleep!! I LOVE SLEEP! I wish I could do it more. I cherish every moment of my sleep!!!!

Well that is my life. nothing new has happened.  I must say I do love living life as an only child. ( Not saying that I want it to stay this way.) My mom and Dad are the best. They take good care of me. They are always buying me stuff for lunches and taking me to dinner! LOVE THEM!!!! Colton has been gone for 3 months today!!!! It is starting to go by fast now that I am working everyday. he is such a great missionary. He is also still one of my best friends. He always makes sure I am keeping up with everything in my life. Katee is also doing really well! She loves her mission. She also still takes great care of me. Oh yes I must not forget about Calee. She is great. She is always making sure I am well taken care of. I love her. ...( and I love the baby inside of her.) Yup thats right I have the best family!!! Well I better get back to my homework. I wish it would do itself!!! love you all!

( Here is an update to everyone that has been telling me to update......Riley........) Don't worry I didn't forget about you. Love you!

For all of you that pray for snow...

I have always been a snow lover..... but, I am sad to say that my new job has turned me into a snow HATER!!!! And when I say HATER I MEAN HATER! I Hate waking up at 3:50 AM to find  that I need to hurry and get ready so I can make my long journey to PCMC. I love my job but I hate the snowie drives. The reason why I tell you this is because I had a driving adventure last Thursday when we had that big blizzard. ( Dear news people, that storm on Thursday is the definition of a BLIZZARD.) Anyways, As I was getting on the freeway at redwood I realized that the freeways were going to be no fun. My car did okay until I went to get on the belt route. As soon as I started going up my car decided that is was done! My car decided that is was not going to go up the snow covered hill. I tried and tried but nothing happened. So finally I called The one and only FLO!! Many of you know Flo as Lee Balmforth aka man who is good at driving when it comes to snow aka my father.  ( may I remind you all that this was at 4: 30 in the AM. ) When my dad answered the phone he already knew what had happened. He is a smart one! (And the fact that a couple days before we couldn't even get my car out of the drive way that didn't even have 2 inches of snow on it. ) Flo told me not to do anything else and he would be there to help me asap. so about 15 minutes later my mom and dad save me. ( bless my moms heart.... She does not like the mornings.) my dad got into my car with me and my mom got up the hill and took the next exit. My dad had to drive my car all the way down the on ramp. It was pretty cool I must say. after that we parked my car at IMC and my mom and dad took me to work. The best part of this story is that I was on time for work. My parents are the best! So for all of you that pray for snow......please  remember us little people that have to be to work at 6AM. Thanks.
I sure wish I would have remembered to take pictures of this!


Thanks to my mom and dad for always being there for me!! I love you so much. You guys are the best. I know if I ever need help with anything they are the ones to call.

All I have to say is.... Someone has to keep them on their toes! Love you!!!

Other new for today

KATEE CALLED!!!

Best alarm clock I have ever had! Good luck sister! I am cheering for you! Making me proud! ( you already do.) The people in Tacoma are so luck! Love you!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

What a crazy year it has been. So many things have changed. I can honestly say that this has been the hardest year of my life. I think I say that every year but this time I really mean it!! So many things have changed! I love all the changes but it has not always been easy. I have learned that I am a lot stronger than I thought I was. I wouldn't change one thing about 2010! It has been a great/hard year.
Here is a list of some of the the major events that happened:

* Found a pretty great boyfriend.
* Decided to try really school.
* Went on lots of trips with family and friends. Las Vegas, Cedar City, St. George, Nauvoo, California, and Idaho.
* Started a new job at IHC working registration for all the hospitals
* Found out that I am going to be an aunt!
* Said " See ya later" to my Brother. Love him so much!
* Said " See ya later" to my Sister. Love her so much!
* Finished my first semester of " real school" with great grades.
* Got a new job working registration at primary childrens same day surgery.

Well that is just a few of the things that have happened this year.

This new years was a great one. It started with me finding and reading my perdictions from last year. Some of the perdictions were:

I will have a boyfriend: Check
I will have a new job: Check
I will be going to school at the U: Not Check
My hair will be the same color ( light brown): Not Check.... Its kind of brown?
I won't live at home: Not Check..........I am so happy that this is a not check. I love living at home. :)
I will read my scriptures everyday: CHECK!!!
I will have the same cell phone: Check
I will have passed my State Boards: Not Check

I think I have had a pretty good year....

After read my perdictions I helped my mom with some stuff and then my family came over for a PARTY!!
My favorite part of New Years is watching the ball drop in New York!
Thanks to my family and friends for making 2010 such a great year. It has been a hard year, but I wouldn't change it for anything!
As for 2011 I hope that you come and go really fast. I hope that you give me a year of peace and good times. I can't wait to see what happens.

My new years resolutions for 2011 are:

*To Be as happy as possible.
* Don't get mad about things that I can't change.
* Cut back on the CANDY.
* Write my missionaries once a week.
* Save as much money as possible

I think I can totally do this!!!!



PEACE OUT  2010 HELLO 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets make it a good one!

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope you all had a great weekend! Christmas was great this year!!!!

We kicked off Christmas eve by going to lunch with Riley's family. It was so much fun to have my mom and dad come with. After that we went to my grandma's house and had the usual party. It was so great having everyone together....minus katee and colton.

Christmas day was also a great day. We woke up and made the usual Christmas feast breakfast and then opened presents while we waited for everyone else to come over. As usual my mom and dad spoiled me with clothes, boots, make up, movies, heater blanket, jewelry, and REX! (I will do an intro to rex another time) My mom also pulled the biggest prank on me. She put all my presents into one box and the labeled it to: Lee From: cindy......this did stop me from snooping around. She is so tricky. After presents our family came over and we had lots of food. This was also the time when.....................COLTON CALLED!!! It was like a dream. This was the best Christmas present ever. It was so nice to hear from in. I loved talking to him! I can't wait until mothers day when I can talk to Katee and Colton. I love my missionaries. After that I went to Riley's to say hello to his family. I love them all so much! thanks for all the wonderful gifts. Riley got me a sweet kindle case, ear rings and a very pretty necklace! After that we went to my Grandmas and Grandpas and then to my oma and grandpas. Thanks for the wonderful day everyone.

I hope that we all took time to remember christ today. I am so thankful for everything that my heavenly father has given to me. I am so blessed. I have an amazing family! I am grateful for my brother and sister who are on missions. I missed them alot today but I wouldn't want them home no matter what. Thanks to all of you for being my friends! I love you all!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!

Pictures to come....

I am back to my happy self!!!!!!

So this past week was a very hard week. I know I have not been myself. I have been trying to make the best of things but it has been hard. Sometimes I didn't even feel like talking.  I just  wanted to cry. The change has just hit me harder than I thought it would. I miss my sister and brother so much. but today I feel so much better. I finally got a letter from my sister and brother. It is amazing how much they can help me when they are so far away. The simple words they write really help. I love when they tell me I am doing a good job and that I need to keep up the good work. They are amazing and I love them so much. Katee's letter was amazing. She is loving the mission!!!! I want to share Some of the letter that she wrote to me.

Sister ( kelsee),

How are you doing? I am doing SOOOOO good. The MTC is amazing! So spiritual! How is everything. I want you to know that I think about you often! And my companion already loves you. The elders here are also amazing as well. I have already learned so much!Thank you for your awesome letter and clothing diagram. I love it and you are amazing. What would I do without you? Sister, I want I want you to know that I am really doing good! I promise, but not a day goes by that I don't think of you or our family. I love this gospel. I love you! stay strong!

That is only some of the letter. Isn't she amazing! I am so thankful for my brother and sister. They bring so much happiness into my life. I love that they are serving missions. I look forward to the letters every week. did I mention that Katee is the senior companion? Heck Yeah! Thats my Girl!!!!!!!! I never thought that having my brother and sister gone for so long could bring me so much joy! Nothing could take this smile off my face! Love you Katee and Colton! Keep up the good work.

Calee you are also a great sister. Thanks for being so great. Love you.

I love my family with all my heart! They are amazing! I hope that you all have a great christmas. I will try to write and post some pictures soon. Love you all

And then there was one.....

This week has been a challenge.I have felt happy, sad, proud, humbled, and honored.

Happy because my brother and sister are doing the lords work.

Sad Because I miss them so much. Leaving them at the MTC and Airport is the hardest thing I have ever done. I wish they could be with me and on a mission at the same time....but, I know they can't do that.

Proud Because my brother and sister are such great examples to me. They are so amazing. They are facing their fears.

Humbled because I could never do what they have done. They are amazing and I wish I could be just like them.

Honored because Heavenly Father gave me such amazing siblings.

When katee walked away from us at the MTC she had the light in her eyes. She was so calm. She knows what she is doing it right. She is such an amazing person and I am going to miss her so much. She is such a strength to me in my life.She has always been there for me and I know she will be there for me even when she is on her mission. She has such a strong belief in the gospel. She is one amazing lady. I love you Katee Lee. I will be keeping her blog updated with all her letters. Her blog is kateebalmforth@blogspot.com. Check it out.
