Medical Office Management :)

I am currently in school to get my AA in Medical Office Management. I decided back in November 2012 that I was tired of not being in school and that I actually missed going to school lol. I decided since that I had just started working at Fred Meyer that I would need to go to school online so I could still work my regular hours at work and go to school at the same time. One day when I was watching TV one of those silly commercials with the girls who are singing about wanting to find something better with their lives came on, so I decided to check out the website to see if it actually worked. Within minutes of filling out the needed information, I got a call from Kaplan University and University of Phoenix. My friend had a really bad experience with University of Phoenix, so I went with Kaplan University. My first adviser was the best and I wish I still had her. She helped me out so much getting signed up for school, getting all the paperwork together for me to complete my application. She helped me out with the test to get into the school and getting financial aid so I could go to school. Since I work at Fred Meyer, I can get a discount for tuition at the school. But if I wanted to do that I would have to go to a different adviser, she was a totally different person than my first adviser. She was rude about everything and was not a lot of help either. Once it was time to sign up for classes, I finally got a new adviser and this time it was a guy and he has been very helpful so far. I started my first set of classes on January 2nd, 2013. My first classes were College Composition I and Introduction to Health Sciences. They were actually fun classes and for once I actually enjoyed being in school. I got a 4.0 in both classes and due to that I made the President's List. I have never in my life even been on the honor roll. I was so proud of myself for getting that far. My 2nd term in school was even better, I enjoyed going to my seminars each week and I was meeting people from my last term classes. My 2nd term I took Medical Terminology and Survey of Mathematics. My teacher for my math class didn't really grade fairly but I loved my Medical Terminology teacher. It was the third time I took Medical Terminology, the first two times I took it, I didn't make it past the third week. My final grades for my classes were a 92% in Math and a 97% in Medical Terminology. And this time I made Dean's List! I am currently in my 3rd term in school, I am taking College Composition II and Anatomy and Physiology I. So far I am still in the high 90's in both classes :) I keep you all updated!

I recently became friends again with my old roommate again. I was the one to step up and try things again with her. In the six months we did not talk, she grew up so much! I can not believe it, she currently has two jobs and a car. It felt like we never stopped being friends, I miss her so much! She has helped me out so much in the past couple of months. Thanks to her, I know how to stand up for myself and take the people I do not need in my life out. I love her so much and I don't know where I would be without her!

My Family!!! <3

Tiffany- I was just barely a year old when my little sister Tiffany was born. Since we were so close in age, our mom would dress us alike and of course, we were always asked, “Are you twins?” Once we grew up a little and were able to choose our own styles, we weren’t really asked that question anymore. We haven’t always seen eye to eye but no matter what we are always have each other’s back. She is no longer living at home and now lives in Bellingham while attending Western Washington University! I love you, Tiffany Dea Marie!

Lewis – Lewis and I are five years apart. He has been through a lot in the 18 years he has been alive for. He was born two weeks early and then some of the amniotic fluid went down in his mouth so he was rushed to NUCI as soon as he was born. Since he was born in Las Vegas, his nickname is Nugget. He has been some through bad stuff, but once he realized what he would lose and what everyone else was going through with him, he changed his life around majorly. We don’t always get along but I love him to death!

Kaylei – I met Kaylei in Girl Scouts in 1998. She was one of the four original girls in the troop. We became very close while in the troop. We went to each other’s homecomings in 2007 and in 2008 I was her second date to her senior homecoming. Before my homecoming in 2007, my mom and Kaylei were in a bad car accident, thank god no one was seriously injured. In 2009, my boyfriend of a year and a half broke up she was with me when it happened. If it wasn’t for her, I would’ve been a bigger mess than I was. We have had our ups and downs but I don’t know what I would do without her! I love you Kaylei Michelle! <3

Jaida- I have known Jaida since fourth grade. She was a new student at the beginning of the year at Lea Hill Elementary. We were trouble makers when we were together. We got in trouble once by spreading a rumor about a girl. Once we started middle school, we lost touch. But in 2011 I found her on Facebook and we started talking a little but lost touch again. In December 2012, I sent her another friend request. We have been talking since J She is a single mama to the cutest little boy. I’m so honored to call her one of my best friends and my sister!

Monica – I met Monica through our old friend Breanna. We became friends fast and of course, Breanna did not like it as she called it Monica was taking her “best friend” away from her. We can go days without talking and then pick up one day like we did talk those few days we didn’t. If it wasn’t for her and her boyfriend Josh (now husband) took me in when I was having troubles with my ex-roommate, I would’ve been living a different and rough life right now. I will be forever grateful for them for letting me move in when they did. The two of them would not let me go to that apartment by myself. She also is the mother to my niece Clara Kay! I love them!!!

Kassandra – I first met Kassandra at Taco Time where she was a new employee. At first, I will admit I did not like her. But once I got to know her more, I liked her more and more. She was there for me when I was having roommate problems, I wouldn’t have made it without her. Whenever we hang out, we always have fun and mini adventures like racing against guys or getting lost somewhere! I was honored when she wanted me to go with her to go and get pregnancy tests at the store with her. And now I’m an gonna be an auntie to my 1^st nephew, Ryland Lawrence! I love you sweetie!

Kimberlei – I met Kimberlei when her daughter Kaylei joined our Girl Scout troop. It wasn’t until a year after we started the troop that she became our co-leader for it. She has taught me so many things I couldn’t have learned from my parents. She is my other mama and I am her daughter. I don’t know what I would be if I didn’t have without her, Kaylei, Xander, and Wyatt in my life! I love them all! <3

Aunt Dawn and Uncle Chris- One of my heroes has always been my Uncle Chris. We haven’t always been the closet but ever since he met and married my Aunt Dawn, he has grown up so much and we are talking a lot more than we did when he moved to Florida! Even though I have not met my aunt, I love her soo much and I love when we talk even though it not all the time! Since they got married, I now have four cousins instead of just having one. I love you guys soo much and I’m glad to have you as my aunt and uncle! <3

Aunt Donna- I have known my Aunt Donna my whole life, but I have once met her once in my life and that was when we went down to California to go to Disneyland for my birthday/graduation present in 2008. She is a tough woman and I am so honored to call her my aunt. She has RA, Crohn's disease, has had a shoulder replaced but lives her life like she doesn’t have anything wrong with her. I love you soo much Aunt Donna! <3

These are just a few quotes that I love:

I wish I could find the perfect guy to help me make this quote true!

I do this all the time when I'm with my friends <3

To all of my friends and family, I love you all :D

So true! Still waiting for that guy.

And it happened, now he's in a bad relationship with a girl who doesn't even know who the real daddy is. I miss him all the time, but I know I am better off without him </3

True!!

Gloriana <3 They are so good live, they premiered this song at the concert.

I wish guys would see us, they just want the girls who open their legs for them.

HAHA I did all of these!

So true for me, I am very shy and won't talk to you, but once you get to know you can't get me to shut up!

Country Boys <3

HAHA!! I love this one!

One day I will find a guy who will do this.

Yes, I am!

This is true about me, I'm not into fighting at all but when it's a family member or one of my friends I will become a bitch and fight for them!

Yep! Pretty much says it all!

I love this and Channing Tatum! <3

Yep, not most guys can see that there are girls like this out there, they just want to go for the girls they have always been with, they don't want to try anything new!

Yep, I like all music but I will always love country!

I love Disney Princesses! <3

Yep, my friends will agree with this one too!

Very true <3

LOL this is true. Everyone who answers the door to someone in the religious field always makes up an excuse.

Lol, I wish you could see this one, but we aren't friends!

Yep, I am one and always will be!

Miranda Lambert <3

This is so true, I was always with my mom when I was growing up. My dad worked a lot so my mom would bring us with her while she did errands. My first concert I ever went to was a country one and I have only been to two non-country concerts, the rest have been country!
