My life has been crazy lately. (What's new?) So here's the run down:
I'm currently living in Portales, New Mexico. Where is that you say? Well... drive from Albuquerque, going east, for about 4 hours, and when you're about 20 miles from the Texas boarder, you've made it! It's 2 hours to a decent airport (Lubbock, TX) and 4 from a 'real' one! I'm also 90 minutes from a Target, but my town does have a WalMart.
Why did I move to the armpit of the united states? Graduate School. I'm in my second (and last) year of Grad School for Communicative Disorders- I graduate next May and after a year of Clinical Fellowship I will have 8 (eight) letters after my name! M.S. CCC-SLP. Sweet, huh? I'll save all the babies! (Or their speech, at least). Hopefully (barring a shiny- third finger left hand reason to stay) as soon as I'm done with school in May, I'll be heading back to Seattle to be closer to most of my family!
Other points of interest--
- My car, Betsy, has 342,000+ miles on it (a 1985 Volvo 740 GLE). She is a rock star and I'll be sad to get rid of her, but I will be SO happy to have a car with AC (which, let me tell you, is a killer here in New Mexico!)
- I've been dating a boy for 6 months... Justin, and we'll see where it goes. At this point, I like him a whole lot. One of the perks is that his parents just went to be the mission president/wife in Ecuador! So as soon as I'm done with school I'm planning on a week or two down there with a place to stay and everything! (Wahoo!)
- I bake cupcakes, on a regular basis. Filled, frosted, butter rich cupcakes. Mmmmm. My professors love me. I need a bigger kitchen!
- I have 2 nieces and 2 nephews who I adore! (And I'm sorry, but they are cuter than your nieces/nephews/children... ;) )
- I'm in the YW presidency in my ward here. It's super fun- it also means I have an entire pin board devoted to YW stuff (next to the cupcake one!)
So there you go; My life in a nutshell! Love to you all,
Emily Zimmerman
1: Wow I was feeling really wordy the day I wrote that...
ReplyDelete2: I guess I like lists
3: I have a blog! It's http://misadventuresofemily.blogspot.com You can read it... if you want to.
3 of them are my nieces and nephew too, so technically mine are just as cute as yours. Take that. :)
ReplyDeleteEmily, that is so cool what you are doing. I actually just took my daughter to a SLP to work on her tongue movement. She doesn't suck, she chews... :) I admire what that lady does with kids, it is amazing how much she helped us with just one visit. You will help so many people I'm sure of it.
