Girls' Night!

During priesthood session, Jill, Dani and I left our men behind and had a girls night. Mmm... Red Robin :) Here are some pictures for anyone who may be interested, and for those of you who are not! haha

Jill ate the Wise Guys burger. It definitely has fried mozzarella cheese sticks on it.

I sat down next to Jill, so it was no surprise when whipped cream from her shake ended up on my face.

Dani was just an innocent bystander.

Isn't this neon green purse amazing? It might not hold much, but it can stop traffic!

Just trying on hats for fun!

This dress definitely zips up the back. It was pretty hideous.

Ka-RAZY shoes! Red patent leather stilettos are not really my thing.. maybe if I was hittin' up the dance club, which I do so often.. haha


Also, here is a random picture with some of my fellow intern/classmates/cohort! Jen, Anita, Me, Maria, Patti, and Emma (aka my entire life.. love you girls!).

Kanye = Best Therapy Ever

So today I was leaving the Skilled Nursing Facility where I've been doing speech therapy for my internship, and I hear some Kanye West in the background as I pass the therapy gym (rap, for those of you who are unfamiliar!). So, seeing as I work with the geriatric population in this facility, Kanye is not something I hear very often... so I turned around to go check it out. I see the PT (physical therapist) and OT (occupational therapist) working with pts (patients). One pt is sitting in his wheelchair dancing with his mobile arm, doing like an ocean wave type thing and saying "wow!". He apparently really likes Kanye. Another pt who speaks barely any English is just watching- and then he starts cracking up (which is rare for him). He starts to say "wow" and tried to dance with his arm too- with not as much luck because he has partial paralysis. I do have to say that it was one of the best dance parties I have ever been to- I haven't had so much fun in a long, long time! Who knew that Kayne's "Stronger" was so therapeutic??
