What I Should Be Doing...

Okay. So this is the absolute, last thing that I should be doing right now. Blogging. However, since I am blogging, I thought it would be appropriate to blog on what I should be doing instead. Medical transcription. At least it's the same subject, right?

Let me share with you my world...

Here is my work station. Meet my computer, keyboard, mouse, head phones, and the lovely little calendar that reminds me of how behind I am. Take notice of the sticky notes on the monitor as well. They have lists of reminders on them. They keep multiplying too (it's kind of scary)...

...This is my friend. My lovely footpedal. It is actually pretty cool. It works a lot like a sewing machine pedal. It allows me to pause the dictator, fast forward, and rewind without moving my hands from the keyboard. One day, it could be saving me money, but right now it gets the brunt of my frustration.

Now don't get me wrong, I do like to do the transcriptioning. It is just that lately, I have been having a hard time focusing. Summer is here, life is happening, people to see, and places to go. You know how it goes.

Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Today is our 3rd Anniversary. Third! I just can't believe it. Time flies way to fast. It has been a wonderful 3 years and I wouldn't change any part of those 3 years for the world. I have been blessed with a wonderful man to be my companion for all time and eternity, whom I love dearly. Life has been fabulous!

Family Time, Temple time

This week was very busy for us. Devon went through the temple on Tuesday, so, Grandma and Grandpa Hansen stayed with us on Monday night, and Dallas, DeeAnn, and the boys stayed with us on Tuesday. It was wonderful to have them all here. On Thursday Shauni, Blake, and Dalton came up and stayed with us. Blake had meetings in Meridian for his ISP training. Then Friday night, Ashton went to the Relay for Life and helped out in a booth playing games with people. Bright and early on Saturday morning, we both walked around the track at the Relay for Life from 6:30-7:30. That night Brett went through the temple, so, all of my family came up to Boise for that. They didn't stay the night but it still made for a busy week. We enjoyed the time we got to spend with our families and especially the time we got to spend with our brothers in the temple.

In the middle of all of that going on, Ashton had 2 tests to prepare for, one being the final. He thinks he did well. Now he has 4 days of summer break before his next class begins (vaa hooo!) I have finished up all of my book studies for my medical transcription training and am now doing the clinical portion (typing actual reports). So far it is going well.
