Living Life

So as most of you know, I spent the past week and a half in Wyoming enjoying the only vacation I get until I graduate next May. It was an amazing time and went way too quickly as I knew it would. I got to catch up with a lot of my Paradise friends, hang out with Jeremy, hear Jackson's new band (The Libby Creek Original--which is amazing by the way!), ride horses, hike in the mountains, see a rodeo parade, and much more. Things got a little hectic Saturday afternoon when I was supposed to fly out. Seven other people and I got kicked off our plane due to weight restrictions. It was devastating at the time because I had already prepared myself mentally for leaving and to not know what was going on was upsetting for someone who likes to plan everything. I'm just grateful I hadn't been flying in on Sunday or I would have missed school the next day! So I went back up to the ranch Saturday night for one more steak dinner and one more square dance. Not too bad of a deal. This is the 2nd time I've had to deal with flight problems out of only 2 times flying out of Wyoming so I'm 2/2. I'm ok if Wyoming wants to hang onto me. As it turns out, I knew one of the other people on the flight who got kicked off and we were able to give her a ride back to Buffalo as well. God was looking out for both of us, even if it didn't seem like it in the panic stricken moment of being yanked off a plane.

Right now I’m on my small animal emergency rotation. My shift for the first four days is 4:00 pm to 2:00 am and thankfully we’ve been pretty busy the past two days which makes the time go fast. We’ve seen quite a few interesting emergency cases and I am enjoying this rotation a lot more than a thought I would. My apologies to those of you who have texted me and asked if I’ve fallen off the face of the planet. The hours I’m working make it difficult to get back to people because when I have free time you all are either sleeping or at work. Next week I have more normal daytime hours so bear with me if you can.
