As Jason and Angies world turns!

So last weekend Jason put together a ride for his off roading club. He put together a ride that left from Mink Creek in Preston, went up the German Dug Way, stopped to have lunch at the Paris ice caves, then went down cowboys prayer into Bloomington Canyon were the whole group took a hike into Bloomington Lake, Jumped off the rope swing, then went back up Cowboys prayer, and finally down the Power Line trail! It was tons of fun, a lot of OH CRAP bar grabbing took place! We had a ton of fun and had an amazing turn out, 21 "rigs" showed up!!

This is a pic of everyone unloading.

Jason loved every minute of it! I ran up Cowboys Prayer just to get pics! Cowboys prayer is about 1/4 of a mile and it took Jason 10 minutes to drive up it. The pics don't really show how steep the trail really is, but I fell 3 times hiking up it. The trail has a lot of boulders but the base is a shell rock so it is really slippery.

Ok so I waited until today to update the blog because I had clinicals and figured why not tell you guys about it. Last week we gave each other shots. We did three each a Intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intradermal, just fancy words for in the muscle, in the fat, and just under the skin. It was fun and now I can totally give everyone their flu shots!! So this week we learned how to start IV's and draw blood ON EACH OTHER!!! So I did fine drawing blood on an older lady that had really small vessels.

The IV was easier than it should have been because my partner was a football player so he had awesome veins! I was also the only one to start an IV. Go Me! So that was the damage I did but its only fair that if you stick someone they get to stick you. So in the room that I was in there were 4 other people. 3 girls and 2 boys. The boys had hoses for veins so they were really easy, but the girls were harder because our veins were deeper and we had to rely more on feel that site which is hard to trust what you feel when you really don't know what to feel for. So 1 of the girls passed out from just 1 stick, she really needs to toughen up and maybe start EATING BREAKFAST before coming to clinicals!! So that left me and the other girl.

I was stuck 4 times to get blood drawn and twice for an IV. I have really tiny deep veins so IVs are hard to stick in me! The guy trying to put my IV in decided he wanted to use the veins in my hand because they were puffed out and he could see them! Needless to say he hit the bone in my right hand, it hurt a lot! then tried my left hand. I was doing fine so I told him try again on my left hand. I tried to get him to hit the cephalic vein which is called the interns vein because it is the easiest to hit. He wouldn't because he couldn't see it even though it was huge when I palpated it and the Procter said it was an awesome one to hit, but whatever! So he gets the needle in and is digging around, I feel him go to deep he backs off and starts digging again. The room was getting really hot and one of the boys refusses to wear BO sauce and after having a needle hit my bone and after 3 minutes of fishing in my hand I wasn't feeling so hot! Thank goodness he gave up opened the door to let some air in! I didn't pass out or anything but am very grateful that I don't have to have that done again without pain medication!! So I came home Jason took one look at all my bruises on my arms and the needle holes and asked me in I have taken up doing drugs!!HAHA very funny Jason!!

We are now officially awesome!!

Hi everyone!! So after much thought Jason and I (actually me without discussing with Jason) decided that we need to have a blog! YAY for everyone! School starts next week, not fun, but we had an awesome summer! We started the summer with me kidnapping Jason and taking a road trip to Oregon for under$100! It was so much fun we camped along the Snake river, drove through Hell's Canyon, and of course wherever Jason goes he finds a car show or something along those lines, so we looked at some cars along the way! We stopped in Boise, we were going to camp that night but it was raining so we used our fancy GPS to find a hotel! We were on a budget so I called the hotels listed and found the cheapest, needless to say Jason refused to stay in the cheapest ones which is saying a lot considering he slept on a cement floor with rats for 2 years. So we called Jasons Dad who recommended a hotel in downtown Boise that is relatively inexpensive. We walked the streets ate some hotdogs from a street vender which were delicious and made fun of all the drunk people that were bounced out of clubs because they weren't cool enough to get in. It was great! Here is our camp site and a cool chair in Wallowa Lake.

We went camping a ton almost every weekend and did a lot of off roading in the Samurai, which is our first born and we lovingly call it the Sami!! We went to Lava for Jason's first time! He had a blast and jumped off the 3rd platform. He was skeptical at first, but loved it none the less. The new slides at Lava are awesome just remember to squeeze your bum cheeks when sliding down! :) We did the annual Brems family Lake Powell trip for the 4th of July! Had a ton of fun wake boarding and cliff jumping! Jason is getting really good at wake boarding, and what can I say, I'm going pro next season! We had a ton of fun hanging out with the fam, and loved watching my little nephew ride the tube! Mark and Jodi were a blast to hang out with, and what can I say about Robert and Emily, their king of the tube matches are great!!

So that was our summer! OK so now there is something that I need to get off my chest! There are really only a few reasons women get married! The first well everyone knows that one! Second so we don't have to lift heavy objects! The third we get cheap oil changes plus hot oil burns when it runs down your arm, trust me! Fourth to eat all the crappy food we make so we don't have to :) And finally this one is just for me to protect me from snakes!! That is right I am petrified of snakes! They are nasty, they slither, the shed all their skin at once, they coil up, they don't have legs, they always stick out their tongue, they don't get places in a straight line, and finally they are just nasty! So now we all know how much I hate snakes! My lovely husband that is supposed to protect me from nasties such as these was working in Driggs and found a 4 foot gummy snake. He decided out of all the colors these gummy snakes come in he should buy the green one that is white on the bottom because it looks the most life like. He comes home after a week of working on a cabin its late at night I'm in bed half asleep, turns on the light, says "Hey Ang I have a present for you!", I get really excited because that means he thought about me and was sweet enough to get me something, right? I'm totally digging this he draws it out for a few minutes then actually threw this thing at me I screamed of course then threw it back at him, he thought it was so funny he threw it back at me, this went back and fourth a few times until he realized I was crying then felt really bad about what he did, as he should and if I could have sent him on a guilt trip I totally would have, but I can't the only one that can is his mom, which is totally unfair! That was last summer you would think he would learn not to throw anything that even resembles a snake at me right? Wrong, so totally wrong!! Jasons uncle turned 50 this year so his aunt threw him a surprise birthday party! He is even more petrified of snaked than I am and all of Preston knows this!! All of his presents had fake snakes in them. Does anyone see where this is going? This is my interpretation of Jasons thought process! "Woo fake snakes, Angie hates snakes, lets attack her with theses snakes!" So he grabs a few snakes and starts holding them in front of my face! Now I don't know if anyone knows how if feels to know that these snakes are plastic and fake but still be totally grossed out at the same time and not want them near them at all, but that is how I felt. So what does a normal person do when in this situation when a bully that is holding the bane of ones existence? Kick said person in the nuts and run away right! Just kidding I just ran away and he chased me! Not nice at all! That was just last weekend so yes I am still simmering about this! Now that that is off my chest hopefully I can get over this incident until he does something like this again!! Oh wait that is every week when he regales me with all his wonderful snake citing stories! So I guess that won't be happening until I move to Hawaii were Jodi tells me snakes do not exist!!
