New Beginnings

Secret of Life #1. Salt Lake City, UT Internship.

You. Are. MINE! The second child of Michael and Karen (and the gazillionth Clifford/Mangum/Knight/Wilkinson/Jones relative..) will be finding her way through the Motherland's streets, starting May 13th. The proclaimed "slam dunk" interview, the opportunity to be Dr. Steve Simper's nurse (aka right hand woman) for three and a half hot summer months, land a dream job six months PRE-graduation, and the chance to be in such close proximity to dear friends and family... Absolutely priceless. Thank you Rocky Mountain Associated Physicians at St. Mark's hospital, Dr. Simper, Ray, Kim, and Carla. Your enthusiasm and complimentary demeanor have never made me feel more welcome, wanted, and of worth. Really, unparalleled.

SoL #2. Sugarhouse District.

You will provide me with constant nostalgia while living in my home away from home growing up. Running through sugarhouse park. Beautiful views of the Salt Lake valley from my grandparent's home. Panda Express on 2100 South. And most of all, four minutes from Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy and Ann Taylor Loft. So unbelievably dangerous. Can't wait to become best friends.

SoL#3. More Sugar.

Viewed the Classic Rock Allstars concert at the 'E' Center in West Valley, with the keyboardist/vocalist from the old rock band Sugarloaf. Then listened to my date, who shall remain anonymous, yell over the phone to his brother, "Meatloaf is here!!!!"

SoL #4. Welcomed Interruptions.

Mid dead weak before finals, random texts and facebook chats piercing the solitude and solidarity of fierce studying are SO refreshing. Keep 'em comin'.
