We are moving!

This is a big moment for the Orgills. After 3 years we are moving to a new apartment. It is still in Provo, and we are close to BYU. And Jimmy Joe discovered this new presentation program that he wanted to show me. So I made a show about our apartment. More to make me feel better about moving, because it's kind of scary and a lot of work.

I am really nervous but excited. It is harder than I thought to leave the only apartment we've known as a married couple. We will just have to make new memories in the next one.

Cakes and Bball

I made three more cakes and learned some new things. They were for a mega 3-child birthday party, and the parents wanted each kid to be able to have their own little cake. They were for 2 girls (one appropriately name Daisy) and a boy, which for his they wanted to put Cars toy cars on the top. This was my first time making shaped flowers, which I liked a lot. I invested in a fondant rolling mat, which was great! Also added a few more colors to my supplies.




































Also, Jimmy Joe played on our ward basketball team. It's the first time they have had church ball in our stake and I think 30 guys showed up for their first game! He did great and it was fun to see him play.






























What a stud!

Master's Project

I presented my master's project yesterday! The presentation went really well. It's over and I don't have to deal with it anymore! I am so happy to be finished with it. We presented to peers and a committee of faculty members and department members.

This was the question I researched for it: In patients with type 2 diabetes suboptimally controlled on oral antidiabetic agents, how safe and effective is exenatide compared to insulin in reducing HbA1c?

Now that that hurdle is over with, I just have to graduate and pass the national board exam!

English makes no sense

I have mad respect for people who learn English. Let me cite an example, brought to my attention by Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader:

The plural form of moose is moose.
The plural form of goose is geese.
The plural form of mongoose is mongooses.

That makes no sense at all does it?

Three years!

We just celebrated our 3 year anniversary! Time sure goes a lot faster than it feels. I look back and cannot believe how lucky I am that I married Jimmy Joe. He is so perfect for me. I don't think I even knew when we got married just how wonderful he is for me. 3 years later, I could not be happier. Life is so much more fun when you are married to your best friend. I love you honey!

Christmas and Birthday

Christmas break was nice this year. We didn't go anywhere, we just had some time to be with each other and do some fun things. We went snowshoeing in Milcreek Canyon. It was so pretty.




We also made our annual Christmas cookies. They are the best Christmas cookies! They are soft and have cream cheese frosting. Here Joanna made a Utah shaped cookie dedicated to BYU.




We had Christmas dinner on Christmas eve, Santa came and then we opened our presents on Christmas morning. Then went up to my parent's house in West Valley.



I also had my 26th birthday on January 4th. I am so old. Joanna has been wanting to make a cool cake, so I told her to make me a space shuttle cake. It was awesome. I was so excited that I did a little photo shoot with it.







I loved it. Thanks Joanna! I just started my last semester. The semester hasn't been too bad so far. We will see how it turns out. I have two Chemical Engineering courses, the rest are just general classes that I still needed to take. All I have to do is make it through this semester and I will graduate in April! Joanna just finished her rotation at Mountainlands community health center in Provo. Now she is at a clinic in Springville. She has been learning a lot and getting a lot of hands on experience doing her rotations. She is a great PA!
