I met up with Celin + kids and Colette for a trip to Zoo Boise first and then the Basque Museum.

The Boise River was running high!

The giraffes were enjoying the morning sunlight.

Despite meeting at Julia Davis Park and walking around, we decided to go to the Basque Museum first so we could eat sooner.

After a yummy Basque lunch, we walked back to the zoo. The sloth bear was loving the afternoon sun!

I got to ride the Komodo Dragon!

The rest of the afternoon was spent at Kathryn Albertson Park followed by a short walk on the Greenbelt. Then I went to a dinner for Carol Ann's and Steve's wedding guests.

March 18th - I was able to attend Carol Ann's and Steve's wedding at the Boise Temple. Colette and I ate lunch at Tango's. Then I went to the reception at The Train Depot. I ran into many old friends and caught up a bit. It was a lovely weekend.

Zion NP Drive

After a lovely visit with Stu's Grandpa and Toni, we drove back home via Zion National Park. The lovely weather made it possible for us to make the drive with the top down.

St George!

A Bloody Valentine's

I was secondary nurse during a bad trauma. After we got the patient upstairs, I was helping clean up. We have a device called a Belmont Infuser that we use when doing "Mass Transfusion Protocol" or MTP. That means we fill a tub with 3 units of blood and infuse all three (approx 900 ml) in less than 2 minutes. As secondary nurse, I was in charge of MTP, so I was in charge of cleaning it up. Well, I was carefully undoing each bag of blood from the tub where the blood pours in. I was all done and went to pull the tub off its pole and a huge spray of blood splashed all across me and the wall. As my co-workers said, "At least it was clean blood?"

Mt Timpanogos Temple

Dad and I went to the Mount Timpanogos Temple. Dad took my picture, but clearly wanted to be in it too!

Back in the Temple

Went to the Provo Temple today with Lacey G. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! It has been a long time for me. It felt so good to be back.
