Boys...





On Tuesday the boys got rewarded with a pool party. It was pretty fun, but it was a little chilly. It was nice just to relax and not have to work though. The guys were the only ones who got in the pool, but it was fun to watch them play water polo or whatever weird name they call it.

I am going to be a nurse


I finally am enrolled in an official nursing program as of last tuesday, june 10! After so many years of indecisiveness and retaking wretched science classes at byu, i finally am on the road where i know i need to be! I will be starting nursing classes in september at UVU when we get home, and then finishing up byu when i can. I am so grateful/relieved that it finally happened...you watch, i will be the best nurse EVER :-)

Whitney's 21st Bday




My lovely sister just turned 21 last Wednesday! We all went to TGI Friday to celebrate. I love love love my sis, and am so happy she is here in Buffalo with me :)

My first funny moment at work...it think i am starting to warm up to it there :-)

Ok, so i had an extremeley hilarious moment at work the other day. Just to preface this story though, everyone should know that the old receptionist that i replaced name was Robin, and the nurse's name is Sue. So, before all of our patients come, we pull their charts so we can have them ready for when they come in. One of the patients that was coming in, oddly enough had the first name "BalBala". Robin (the old receptionist) scheduled her a while back so i had never spoken with her before. So, Sue (the nurse) and I thought the name was a little strange, but were maybe expecting some type of African woman. Lo and behold, however, BalBala was a small white old woman. When Sue called "Balbala" back into the doctor's room, "balbala" answerd back with a short retort of "No, it's Balbala!!!" I was thinking maybe we didn't stress the right consonant or something. So, a couple minutes later, sue comes out and is so embarassed because come to find out, her name is Barbara not Balbala!!! (the poor old lady has a speech impedement and cannot pronounce her R's) Sad for the lady, embarassing for Sue, but hilarious and giddy-making for me! (not hilarious that the lady couldn't speak, but you know...)

My life as a Bladder Messenger

So, all my friends know that I, Lacy Baldwin, tend to go through many jobs...not that i get fired, but i just all of a sudden don't like working there and other childish excuses :-) so...i do not work at the mall anymore. I actually work in a doctor's office! It pays way more than retail and it gives me good exposure to the medical arena. So, the doctor that i work for is actually a urologist (a bladder doctor). So, what do i do all day? I take messages for people who have bladder infections and who are peeing out blood...yuck! So, even though it's not the most glamorous job, i do actually enjoy it way.........more than folding shirts.
