Internship

Well friends, I have officially started my internship at the Kane County Health Department. The wemen that I work with are nice. I mostly make brochures for different health programs. I like it so far. Chicago is lovely, but I don't see much of it now. I am also taking a humanities class that sucks. It is independent study. It is hard for me to want to read the assignments, especially since I have to read the Odysee and Illiad. WAHOO! Well people keep posting, because it is fun. I promise! You should all be more like Mandi and fear my wrath!

Graduation

I don't know how many of y'all read my blog (deidrazoe.blogspot.com), but here is a picture from graduation day. It snowed and was freakin' freezing. My family (except Chris) didn't come to Commencement, and then they were all over the valley. So, instead of standing in the Spectrum forever, we decided to walk home. Brr! But my umbrella was cute and happy! :-)

Hey friends. Today Erik and I went to an awesome garden in Chicago. It had cool gardens and sweet statues. We both enjoyed it. They had plants from all over the world. YAY FOR CHICAGO!

Hi

I daresay it's far better for me to take the time to post my life happenings rather than incur the wrath of Colette Desta Gibby Hartman. So it can now be said that I have officially blogged. In case of any confusion let it be said that it is I, Amanda Lynne Bowen, graduate of BHS class of '03, somewhat fresh returned missionary and future female astronaut diaper-wearer that is thus posting. What have I been up to? Well to sum it up - I'm donating my body to science, using the cash to invest in moon boots while finishing up my higher education at Brigham Young University all while becoming the lowest paid wedding planner in history. And by lowest paid, I mean I may or may not receive a hug as payment. (The wedding is for my little sister, not me, just so we can clear that up.) I return to school in August where I will finish up my degree in Geography: Global Studies and then hopefully it's off to grad school in the spring where I can study demographics and human/geographic interactions to my heart's content. For now I'm in Burley finishing up my medical bed-rest and attempting to regain some of my gross motor skills and/or my short term memory. It's a toss up as to which I would rather have at the moment. Just know that I miss you all and look forward to any other further postings on your lives.

Dream

Dear Friends,

I realize that many of you are not participating in this wonderful blog. That is just sad people. So last night I had a really funny dream. I along with all of you and some other friends from high school were hiding in classroom for a surprise party for Tom Preston. Sam was going to come in and start leading us and we would all sing happy birthday to Tom. Well, Sam came in and nobody was singing except for Kim who was sitting next to me. Actually all she was saying was Hap Bir over and over again. I tried to join in but couldn't. Then I woke up laughing. It was great. Well friends, start bloggin!!
