The Kate Update

Holy cow, it feels like five million years since I have blogged. Here is a quick run down of what I have been up to. After spending a few weeks in Missouri I made the trek out west, continued my job hunt in Utah, took a break to visit Rachael and Brad, spoke to the nursing adviser at UMN-Gallup and decided to stay. Took a trip out to Arizona with the Manguns, mom and dad, and Aunt Audrey. Made a trip to Idaho to shop, visit friends and get stuff out of my storage unit.
Now as of last Tuesday I have been back in school getting ready to apply to the nursing program here. I am in a 10 credit class and the homework is kicking my butt. The only thing that is helping is the fact that most of it I already learned as a Health Science major. Anyway, life is grand and I even have free Direct TV with my apartment. And it's the expensive package too!!


I think this look best describes what it's like to live with Aunt Katie for a whole month.


The Indian dances that take place nightly. Very cool!


Some ruins in the Petrified Forrest National Park.


Me breaking the rules in the park. hehe, what are you gonna do about it Mr. park ranger?


My first visit to the Grand Canyon! I got sick as a dog not long after this picture was taken.


A meteor crater I can't remember the name of. I think it's called Meteor Crater.


I got to visit Stephanie and the kids in Utah. It had been over three years since I last saw them.


Jacob showing me his sweet moves.


I finally got to meet Sara. She is such a Q-T-Pie!!


Looking forward to visiting them in Germany!!!
