Valentines Day

This semester I really like my classes. I retook my math class and found a wonderful professor who is willing to help me and is very patient. Public speaking isn't really that bad, at least I can pick my own subjects to talk about. I love human development! It is so fascinating. My English professor is really boring however, my homework in that class is actually fun.
I really miss Brody, I didn't get a letter this week and in his E-mail, he seems kind of down. I am really worried about him. I sure hope he starts to enjoy this area of his mission. It is going on to be seven months on Valentines Day and I have no idea what to do. Should I get him a card and candy? Any ideas would help greatly. Thank you.

One of those days

Today was a particularly hard day. I don't know why. I must have rolled off the wrong side of the bed. I have been trying really, really hard to stay in a good mood for awhile now (to spare the people around me.) But today I really missed Brody and it was even a letter day. I can't really stay positive. I feel like I really can't talk to anybody because I don't want them to keep on hearing a broken record. Today is just one of those days that I just want to curl up in a black hole and cry. It is so hard to keep on going in a good mood when you feel like this. If anybody is reading, can you please give me advice? I keep on feeling this way and I am way tired of it.   

Hallelujia!!!

Brody and his family let me see him being ordained an elder... I am so blessed to see this wonderful experience.  Thank you so much!!!!

Brody's family invited me to color eggs for Easter. Thank you so much! It was soooo fun!

We were hunting for our eggs on Easter. We had such a fun time. Brody's siblings hid the eggs and some of them were very difficult to find.

Brody at this point was so tired of me taking pictures of him.. I just had to put this one up because I think it is hilarious.

The beginning....

Today was the first day of my third semester of college. I can't believe I am technically a sophomore. I thought it would never happen. I really like going to class and learning. I have been blessed with amazing professors so far in my school career. Today I had English 1010 and Public speaking (yikes!) I am so petrified of public speaking but I need to learn to communicate better in front of large crowds so I took the harder route instead of interpersonal communications. But I have a great professor apparently... that is what everybody told me anyways.
I didn't get anything from Brody last week. His family got to talk to him. I will eventually. I sure miss him. Hopefully I get one this week. I sent Brody some candy canes last week I made with Pam. I sure hope he likes them. It has almost been seven months... only 17 more fast Sundays! YAY!!!!!!

Babysitting, babysitting, and more babysitting!

Christmas week. My mom has a million presents she needs to wrap. You do the math. She said we all have about 10 presents for each of us kids and 8 kids. 80 presents is crazy. So while I recover from getting my wisdom teeth out I am babysitting. I wish I could have went to work but I think I would have scared the kids. I looked like a chipmunk (it is odd both sides were swollen but I only got one side out for the study.) I think I would have scared those kids. I am really ready to go back though. I really do love my job. Back to my wisdom teeth, I felt like somebody threw a softball really hard at my face so it was sore. But I wasn't in like a lot of pain. Just ache, which sucked too. I couldn't send my missionary a letter and I felt really bad. I was not able to because last Saturday we dipped chocolates and it is so good. Even though I can't eat any chocolate until tomorrow at the very earliest. But I did send Brody a tape recorder and of course a tape filled with just me talking. I sure hope he liked it. Brody asked for me so that is what he got. I am so grateful for him. I hope his phone call will be good for his family. I hope I can hear from him soon with a tape. I don't know if I am invited to hear him at his family's house. I understand if I'm not because it is his family time. I will have plenty of time to talk to him when he is off of his mission in 18 months. I am so happy I can now say 18 months. It makes me so happy that he is doing so well. I can't wait to see him and hear from him.

Today I am going in to get my wisdom teeth out. I am doing an experimental drug they are testing for pain relief and sleep after a person will get the wisdom teeth out. I sure hope I get the medicine. I have a 50% chance of getting the medicine or a placebo which is NOTHING!!!!!! I have like zero pain tolerance and I am really nervous. But they are paying me $250 so I can save up while Brody is on his mission.
That reminds me.... Brody had his first baptism a couple of weeks ago. I am so proud of him. He really is a great guy. For Christmas I got Brody a tape recorder because he said he wanted me.. I can't really go to him but my voice sure can. I am really excited to get his letter this week. But I won't be able to get his email today. I will be at the clinic about to get my wisdom teeth out. I will just have to wait until tomorrow. I hope he is doing good. I really do love him so much. I am so happy he has been out for 6 months. Only 18 more to go. :D   

The "Britney" moment

Today I woke up extra early to do more studying and homework done at school. Now here is when I pulled a Britney moment. I forgot my ID in my purse which is in my dad's car. How smart is that. Now my dad is at work with my ID. I can't go to school now. I am wide awake so I can't get back to sleep. There is something for who ever reads my blogs. ha...ha...
