It's been a while.....

Wow! It's been a while since I made a post. I have been really busy and have been trying to make time to blog, since it is something I enjoy doing. Last weekend I drove my friend Heather down to Lehi and I took Meredee with me so that I would have someone to ride back with. It was a huge deal for me since I don't like driving and the roads are crowded in the Salt Lake area. I survived and it was pretty fun. We stopped in Murray for lunch at Red Robin and we picked up McKenna who was at Chase's swim meet. On Sunday, Meredee and I went to Joseph's homecoming and then went his luncheon. Joseph wanted me to go out with his friend so on Monday, Meredee and Joseph went on a double date with me and his friend. It was pretty fun. Grandma and Tom came down for Thanksgiving this year and mom did a great job of making the dinner. It was her first Thanksgiving. After dinner was over and we were looking for something to do, Chelsea suggested going bowling. If any of you know me, you know that I don't like bowling. However, I agreed to go and watch, so did Grandma. They all played a game and Chelsea was getting pretty cocky because she was in the lead. It was decided to play another game and I was talked into playing. I gave Chelsea a run for her money!!! The look on her face was priceless! On Black Friday, mom, McKenna, Chase, and I went shopping. It was a new and interesting experience. Because we all got up early, everyone was a bit cranky the rest of the day. I spent the whole weekend at my parents house chilling and having fun. It was a good break and I didn't do any homework!!!

Finally, Something to Write About

Wow! I go from being not busy at all, to super busy and things are crazy. Since most of my projects at school are due before Thanksgiving break, this last week and I'm sure the next week and a half will be devoted to homework. School has been stressing me out, but with the help of the Lord, I am managing to still keep on top of things and I have been blessed with the energy to focus and get my stuff done. On Wednesday, one of my best friends came home from his mission. We have been friends since we were four and I was so excited to have him back in the valley. He called me at midnight on Wednesday night! Yeah so much for sleep!! Then on Thursday evening he came over to visit and was able to meet my roommate Meredee. Our neighbor Sky came over and invited Meredee to go on a walk over to the Temple with him. A few minutes after they left, Joseph and I decided to see if we could catch them on their way back. So then we walked over to the Temple. It was a beautiful night and it wasn't too terribly cold either. We actually kind of ran to the Temple and just as we were leaving, Meredee called. They had taken a different route back and our leaving resulted in her being locked out and having to wait for us to walk back.
On Friday morning I woke up and my right eye was so swollen that I could hardly see out of it. My roommate had strep in her eyes and was on an antibiotic, so since it was the start of the weekend, I went to the doctor. He diagnosed me with Orbital Celulitis. He said that it is really serious and put me on a ton of antibiotics. I am on a eye drop antibiotic and an oral antibiotic. I do have to count my blessings that even though something happened as far as my health is concerned (which usually happens when I am stressed) it has not stopped me from completing my homework and other tasks. On Friday night Joseph came over again and Anna, her friend Rachel, Meredee, Joseph, and I played Imaginiff. We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. It is so good to have him home! And I have a couple of awesome younger siblings. McKenna has been helping me with a lot of my homework when I get stressed out. She comes over to my apartment and helps me get caught up! Chase is always looking out for me and trying to make me feel happy and awesome! I absolutely love them to death!!! Sorry this message is so long, I just had a lot to write about this time!!!

This Week..... Umm.

Another relatively uneventful week for me. Sorry for all of those who were expecting something great and exciting. I have spent a few nights watching movies with Anna & Meredee and keeping up on my homework. All of our projects are starting to close in on us, so I have been pretty busy with my school work. Chase came over to my apartment and played on Friday night while my parents went to a band banquet with McKenna. I had to pick up Chase from swim and I was asked to be early so that Chase could introduce me to his swim coach. Chase really likes his coach and has told me that I would too. He was a brave little boy and introduced us. His coach seems like a really nice guy. On Saturday, mom and I went to Chase's swim meet at Mountain Crest. My job was to yell and cheer him on since my mom is an official and can't do that. He did pretty good and after the meet he was exhausted. Then last night Anna & I watched a couple of TV shows and Penelope. It is a really good movie so if you haven't seen it, you really should!

Uneventful

Well, it has been a pretty uneventful week around here! I have just been doing projects for school and hanging out with Meredee and Anna. We have played Guitar Hero and watched movies. They are pretty awesome. For piano we had a group Halloween party and played theory games and had treats. I think the boys had a lot of fun. McKenna came over on Thursday night and got to know my roommates. She thinks that Meredee is hilarious and she loves Anna. She helped me with some interior design assignments and helped me clean my room. Yes, I have been busy and you could tell! I know this one is short, but I really don't have much excitement to tell all of you about, so until next time!
