Life As We Know It

A lot has happened since the last time I updated the blog. Let's see...school started, we had our second anniversary, I know a bunch of people who are having kids soon, Korey is still on his mission, my Dad's retirement is getting closer, weird events with old phones, lots with my health, and life at home.

School started a month and half ago. It's weird...I think midterms are not this week but the next. It's so weird. School is going great...I've not had any bad grades yet (and I'm hoping it stays that way!). This year my schedule is very open. I only have 4 classes. 1 required (Concepts of Accounting), 1 general (Psychology 101) and 2 advanced classes. This semester is pretty easy going for me. I may only have to take a few more next semester which means that I will be packed! I have 3 advanced classes and  maybe 2 generals. It's a maybe because I think I will be able to not take one of the classes because I already have a 4 credit class on my record, but I have to go in and talk to a counselor about the whole thing...I'm hoping that I don't have to take it.

As for our second anniversary....we went to Utah again and spent some time together. We also saw some family too. We left from Pocatello around 3 and arrived at Provo about 6:30. We hit a lot of traffic and construction too. It really sucked a lot. Anyways, we went there to see some friends that we have not seen since their wedding the month before. We had a blast with them. We went out and ate together and than we kind of went shopping (more like them...we was trying to not spend a lot of money.) and than we went back to there place and played Phase 10 for about three hours. It was so much fun! After that we headed to the hotel for the night. The next morning we went to Lagoon from 10 to about 5:30. I had hoped that we could stay later but I kept on getting sick from the rides (and to this day, I think I got sick because of all the medicine I'm on). Afterward, we headed towards Logan's Aunt house (Susan's). By accident we ended up in Bountiful and visited the temple since it was so close by. Later on we got to Susan's house and Logan's mom and Carolyn was at the house too. So we all sat down and talked for about 4 hours before everyone decided to go to bed or work on homework. The next morning we headed home around 11...I think....so we got home about 2 (because we made a stop at a rest area where we ran into Logan's mom and Carolyn again by surprise).

So....I know about 4 or 5 people finding out that they are pregnant. In a way....it's kind of upsetting me (which also has to do with all the medicine I am on again!) I love the fact that they are so happy about it. I can't wait til everyone has their kids. Let's see....there is Jacqueline and Jack, Tyrel and Tricia, Logan and Alli, Jessica and Tanis, and there was one more but I don't remember at the moment. But it's amazing what the Lord does for us.

As for my brother, he is doing great! He's still on his mission. He has had multiple companions that he has really love serving with. He's been to a total of three different areas now since he got to his mission. Right now, he is at Capital Heights, right outside of D.C. He's hoping to get an area that he can ride a bike around in. He's also has gained some weight (would too if I was on a mission too! All that food!), at one point he actually had a trainer training him at a gym from one of the wards. He really enjoyed that! But right now he's driving a mini van or something like that. It's so funny! Korey driving a van!! Hahaha...I thought I would never hear that happening. Anyways, I got some pictures from Korey that I will put together a slideshow to put on my blog.  

As for what's going on with my Dad and he's retirement....It's a long story. Let's just say that he had a lot of trouble with his heart and now he is having neurotic problems with his back. The doctor at the hospital doesn't really want to release my Dad on medicinal retirement but the other one does. He doesn't really get to sleep whatsoever while he's on the job. It pretty much sucks! And I don't ever get to talk to him unless he's not busy.

So we have been having some weird events with our new and old cell phones. So first, the red one that I got when we got our own plan got ran through our clothes washer...and it didn't work. So that was about over six months ago and yesterday, it just started to work out of the blue!! So, all the contacts that I lost, I now can get them!!! ^-^ Also, my littlest brother dropped his phone in the mud one day so we took it to someone we know, so that maybe he can save it. But...again...Char dropped his phone in mud which has water. Soooo after trying to fix it for about a month the guy couldn't get it to work. Anyways, the guy was so busy for a month but within that time the phone started to work again!!! So now we have two back up phones. It's so weird! I also have been having problems with my phone through. I have to take it in because I have not been receiving texts or calls again (yes, this has happen before when I first got the new phone).

Well, as for my health...back at the end of July I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I guess all three conditions that I have usually come in a package. They just didn't know about this until they took a blood test in mid-July. Anyways, I've pretty much gotten it under control since than...I have another appointment this week to take a few blood test. If I remember right, they wanted to check everything to see if everything is getting better. As for the other two condition, I think I have been managing them pretty good. I'm crossing my fingers that the PCOS is going away (actually, cured). With the insulin resistance, I can easily manage it with exercising everyday. 

As for Logan and I, things are going great! We are having some hard times but we are getting through them. We see each other a lot more this semester because he works less hours at the moment at Sears. But even when he's home I don't usually get spend the time with him because he has a lot of homework this semester. I'm the opposite so I get so bored to easily when he's not even in the apartment. Logan also has been busy at the Lab finishing up an experiment that they are working on. They should be done with it this week. He now has a class from his boss, Dr. Williams, which he finds weird but he really enjoys it. Logan is a senior (like me) but he won't graduate until December of next year. I found out recently that when he's home I do a lot more than I do when he's not home....I wonder if that is really weird???? Anyways, I have recently picked up a lot of projects so it should keep me busy til after Christmas....I hope anyways.
