Plans Have Changed

Many of you know that I got accepted into the dental hygiene program to Utah College of Dental Hygiene and that we were going to be moving to Orem in the fall........ Well plans have definitely changed for the better. A couple weeks ago I got accepted into the program in Vegas which blows my mind. I didn't even think I would have a chance to get in that program because the acceptance is based soley on grades. I sometimes wonder if it isn't real but I know it is. The greatest thing is that my really good friend Caitlin got accepted into the same program. YEA!!! It is going to be so nice to have an instant study buddy and just have someone there experiencing the same thing and being able to help eachother out. I am so glad that we are going together. Not only are we going together but we are going to live together. That will help with rent and utilities and we will be together all the time so why not live together. Good thing Cody is ok with it. He is so supportive with everything and wants to help out in anyway possible. He and Caitlin get along really well so I don't think it will be a problem.
Another Huge factor for me in deciding between Orem and Vegas was the cost. Since Orem was a private college it is $30,000 more than Vegas. Crazy!!! Why is this program so expensive? I don't know. This was a no brainer for Cody. He said we are going to Vegas, I on the other hand had to really think about it and contemplate which school I would like to go to the best, but when it came down to it I did not want to have a huge amount of debt when i graduate. So we are going to Vegas in the fall. I am so excited for the hot hot hot hot weather. I love to be hot and I absolutely hate the cold.

If You Can't Beat 'Em...............

So, after we went to Utah last weekend and saw that gas was .30 cents cheaper there than here I was not very happy about coming back to Reno and pumping gas. You know we all get upset about how expensive the gas prices have been getting, but I have realized that I can't get upset or mad when I put $60 in my tank almost every week. AHHHHHHHHH!!! The gas prices are not going to drop and I can not do anything about them dropping,....... so I decided I had to do something for myself to not be spending so much money on gas every month.
This is when my beautiful bike comes into play. No matter if it is cold, snowing, windy, or rainy I will ride my bike to and from work everyday. This is the only way for me to be ok with the gas prices. I really think I could cut down half of the gas that I use if I rode my bike everyday, not to mention all of the calories I will be burning. :) Kill two birds with one stone. I have just one more day this week to complete my goal for this week. Hopefully I will keep it up. Wish me luck.!!! :) :) :)
