I want to apologize for my lack of blogging in general this summer...My summer hasn't really felt like "summer" considering I am just finishing one online class and will be starting another one next week, not to mention I have 5 clients for therapy, that's right, I said FIVE. In the meantime, while you're waiting for me to post about the latest happenings in my life, check out these great blogs from a few of my wonderful friends!

successful internship interview!
Two weeks ago I had an interview at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln for a spring 2012 speech-language pathology internship position. Last night I received an email saying I was selected for the internship and I couldn't be happier! Knowing there were at least four other people interviewing, I tried not to get my hopes up, but after seeing their amazing facility, I couldn't help but want to be there! (After watching this video, I'm sure you can see why!) I can't wait for spring 2012 to get here and I would LOVE to be placed in their Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) unit!

longest day of the year!
fun in the sun...on the farm!
My good friend and classmate, Mikki, lives on a farm north of town with two of her close friends (Adam and Renae who just got married in May). Saturday afternoon Mikki and I laid out to soak up some sun and the chickens joined us too!

LIVE LIKE LINDA.
I'm not really sure where to start with this post and I guess that's why I haven't written it until now...Exactly a month ago today, 5.11.11, my mom lost her best friend Linda in a car accident. Linda was terrified of stormy weather; and while driving in a storm that day, she lost control of he car.
My mom and Linda have been best friends since they were about three years old. They went to high school and college together, and their families were close growing up. Perhaps the most amazing part of their story is that they went on to marry two guys, my dad and Linda's husband Kurt, who were very distant cousins and had the same last name...result: my mom and Linda ended up having the same last name! Better yet, Kurt and Linda's kids and my siblings and I are very close in age, and we have grown up to be great friends as well.
Needless to say, our world has turned upside down by the unexpected event that happened a month ago. In the words of my mother, "I take great comfort in knowing that Linda had such a strong faith. I don't think I've known a nicer, easier to love person than her. I feel blessed; she was a great example of how to live a full life." And as her 21 year old son Tyler said, "I look forward to catching up with you, I hear Heaven's parties are the best!" We all need to remember to LIVE LIKE LINDA.

Last weekend one of my old roommates got married and I was her personal attendant! It was a gorgeous wedding and the weather was perfect!
minnesota
For as long as I can remember (since 1996 to be exact) my mom's entire side of the family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) have spent the last week of May, including Memorial Day Weekend, fishing in Minnesota. We go to the same resort every year and it never gets old. We all used to fit in the big lodge but now that the family has grown and some of us cousins have started bringing friends or significant others, we now have to rent out the lodge and 3 other small cabins! I only stayed for the weekend, but caught a few while I was up there!
goodbye 12, hello B1
I moved! Just across town, but I no longer live by myself : ) I now live with two of my cousins in a three bedroom apartment! Needless to say I had to downsize my amount of stuff...
mayhem in may
Well, as you might have guessed from my lack of posts, the month of May did NOT go as planned! I thought I would have plenty of time to blog and do all of the things I didn't get to do during the school year. I even had hopes of reading some of the following books, and haven't finished one of them : (
