Ski Day!
I think Brett has begun and/or restored a hobby in the Aegerter home! A couple of years ago, Brett took me skiing for the first time ever! This year, he taught my little brother, Clark. A few weeks ago, my Dad, who hasn't skied in probably 30 years, bought new skis, poles, and boots and has hit the slopes once again. He then taught my other little brother, Benton, to ski! It's an epidemic!

Little Visitors!
I have probably mentioned before that we live in a basement apartment. Lucky for us, we have some of the most adorable little upstairs neighbors! (No, not you Jedd!)
On most days, I get a visit from these two little cuties! They cook with me, they clean with me, they dance with me. They're some of my best friends these days!
One day we made brownies and played puppies...

We had to lower our cooking surface so the girls could stir!
Linds!
Notice their cute aprons!

Girl Get Together! :)
When I was 17, my family moved from Layton to Springville. Although we all kind of went our separate ways after high school, all of my friends from Layton still get together occasionally and catch up. It's always so much fun! :) We all met up at The Cheesecake Factory on January 6th and had a blast talking for hours.

Love ya, girls!
New Year 2010!
Our New Year wasn't terribly exciting, but compared to last year, which was just terrible, it was great! Last year I was vomiting my guts out. I wanted to DIE! This year was spent with family and friends in perfect health! :)
We went to visit my sister, bro-in-law, and their kids to say good-bye. They had been visiting for the past 2 months and it was time for them to head back to St. Louis. DARN IT! My entire family ended up joining us, so we ate and talked for a while and then Brett and I decided to head back to Utah County before it was too late and the roads were full of drunk drivers. We brought in the NEW YEAR with our friends Travis and Sarah. We played games and talked until 3am! We always have a great time with them. :)
With the new year always comes new resolutions...
Here are a few of mine:
1. Get back to my pre-marriage weight! I've packed on a solid 20lbs! HAHA! This is one of Brett's resolutions as well. By that I mean him losing weight, not me!
2. Run a 5K - I know this is silly to you runners out there, but this will be a challenge for me.
3. Get better at reading scriptures and saying prayers
4. Be a better wife in all respects!
5. GET A JOB!
I'm sure you all have some of your own, so here goes nothin'!! :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Good-bye 2009! Welcome 2010!
Scrub Burning Ceremony!
To further celebrate graduation,many of my nursing classmates and I got together and burned scrubs!! I know, it sounds a little creepy, but we actually only burned one pair of scrubs and donated the other sets to the UVU nursing department for students who can't afford new uniforms.
Here are a few pictures of the evening:

First, a sad confession, Brett and I don't have ONE picture of the two of us together on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day this year :(
Despite that tragedy, Christmas was really fun this year! For the first time in at least two years, and the last time in who knows how long to come, all of my siblings and their spouses/children were together on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! It's a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! With everyone growing up and getting married, our schedules don't always match up, so it was really exciting to be together this Christmas! :)
On Christmas Eve we ate a yummy dinner and then acted out the nativity story...
After we got the kids, including Brett, in bed - I helped my sister wrap presents! It was so fun! I was running off of pure adrenaline! Christmas morning came VERY fast! It was great though! I love watching kids on Christmas morning! :)

This year is my parents' 30th wedding anniversary. My Dad got my Mom an anniversary band with 5 stones, one for each kid! She was SO EXCITED!

Christmas Day we ate fondue with our extended family and played games all night! :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
UVU Nursing Pinning Ceremony
For those of you who don't know, I graduated this semester with a degree in nursing. Right now I am studying for the NCLEX and feeling completely TERRIFIED that maybe I didn't learn anything in nursing school after all! Wish me LUCK!
On a happier note, on December 18, 2009, UVU held a nursing pinning ceremony. This is a traditional ceremony in which the newly graduated nurses take the Nightingale Pledge and are then pinned by a Registered Nurse of their choice. I was privileged to have my own cute Mom pin me, as she is an RN.
I thought the ceremony went really well. Although our advisor, Dena Walker, did most of the work, I had the opportunity of helping to plan the event. In addition, my friend, Lora, and I performed the song "For Good" from the musical Wicked. I don't know how well we actually did, but the song alone is very meaningful. There were a number of wonderful speakers and another musical number - a parody of "Grow Old With You" from The Wedding Singer, called "Wanna Be a Nurse for You". It was a great way to celebrate two years of hard work. I will sure miss my classmates! We were a very close group! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
We were asked to turn in a bio for the program - here is mine:
Alexis Aegerter Johnson was born and raised in Utah. She enjoys playing volleyball, singing, and spending time with her family and friends. While attending Utah Valley University she was on the Dean’s List and is currently a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society. Upon acceptance to nursing school, she received the Central Utah Clinic Scholarship. As Vice President of the UVU Student Nurses’ Association, Alexis had the opportunity to be involved in many service and professional activities.
After graduation Alexis will seek employment and hopes to further her skills in the areas of intermediate critical care and labor and delivery. Following several years of work experience, she plans to pursue a Master of Science in Nursing.
Alexis would like to thank her family and friends for their never-ending love and encouragement!
