Just an update

Well, there is not too much to say about me.

The school year is almost over and I have a paper that was due yesterday that i did not get done. I will finish it tomorrow and then I'll turn it in on Wednesday hopefully. I have a group presentation tomorrow. I have a pretty busy and crazy schedule. Yesterday, i had FHE to which i took of friend's daughter to cause she was feeling ill and so i took care of her daughter last night and yesterday morning i took her to daycare. I can see what mom's mean bythey have no time for anything and how fun it'll be to be a mom. My friend said that she heard her daughter crying 3 or 4 times last night. I stayed the night and I heard her once. I will be staying the night with that friend again tonight. Tomorrow i have school from 8-3pm with a 3 hour break scattered in there. I have work from 3:45 to 6:30 and then I have choir from 7-9pm. I do not think I will do institute choir next year. I think I am done with singing. My friend and I are going to sing a song for sacrament, and then i will have my institute stuff and I am done, plus my voice is starting to suck. I've never been all that great anyways but I am learning to sight read the alto line. It's fun. I think singing is fun though. Thursday, i have school, work and group and then Friday i have school and i'm going to road runner food bank all day and then some on Saturday! Saturday after Road Runner, I am going to dinner and a movie with my Dad. He will be turning 50 tomorrow! Wow! He's getting old! J/k. In 4 years, my mom will be 60! wow! and by then, i'll be 25! yikes hmm, who knows where i will be then in life! we will see.
For Thanksgiving, every year, my mom and I know go to visit my grandpa in Tx. this year, we will be staying with him, and then going to his sister's house for Thanksgiving! I wonder if my uncle still has his cowboy hat. A few years ago he said i'd make a good cowgirl. His spanish is so funny to listen too. He used to be a truck driver for Warner. One year when we were in Tx, my uncle showed us his truck. He showed us when he was in Albuquerque too one year. But in texas, it was parked in the church parking lot across from my Grear Aunt's house on Grape st. and he let me go under the trailer! The trailer is so tall! Sometimes, i don't mind being short. I miss back in the day when everyone was young and we would all go down as a family(my mom, dad, sister and I) and we would play hours of Spite and Malice (aka Skipbo) it was so much fun! Man, too many fun memories as a kid! It's hard for my grandpa to move around now. He is in a wheel chair, but he had to have one of his legs amputated from his knee down because of complications to his diabetes. It caused him to get a lot of gangrene(sp?). Last year it snowed too! Yes, in texas it snowed! Last year was fun too cause i saw JoDee and Amber at Walmart when i went with my mom. They were my old camp counselors at Ponderosa for a few summers! JoDee just recently had a baby. I'm not sure when but she was pregnant when i saw her. I made my grandpa when he was in the nursing home for a while one of my specialty blankets. It was green and either a dark grey or black. I know i've seen him use it a few times. I've learned to overcome the trials of corners and sowing. On one of the blankets i've made, i don't remember who. I think it was marry's baby, i tacked it and i did one end with none of the tabs so it could go near his face. That is my new way of it. Now i gotta figure it out for like beds and all, just the fabric gets expensive. I need to make one for Janessa's baby and I want to make one from my friend's 2 year old daughter and for Janalee's little one on the way!
As far as my mission is concerned. At times i want to go and at times i don't. I've realized I like to meet investigators and to go teaching with the Elders or with the sister(if we ever have any) The main thing stopping me is that I have 3 cousins getting married nxext year or maybe one the next year and my sister is supposed to be moving her. I have one semester left to have my lottery scholarship and then i will either have to start taking one or 2 classes a semester so i don't have to get any loans, or i will get a loan as my grandma has suggested and do the 2 years i have left which i think i will owe about $10,000 or more once i am done with just getting a degree in Family studies but it won't be an MS or anything. I want eventually get a masters in counseling. I would counsel either families or individuals. The thing is i like to help people and some emotional things I can deal with and others I can't. Too, if i go on my mission next year, i will have to wait to go until next November because I have to wait to submit my papers til May because i've been told that i am not emotionally ready to go. But too, somethings I have to take care of from my past before i can go. But i can't save money to go until summer cause i won't have school and so i wouldn't have the money til November of next year, so we will see.
I may need to move home too, just because i feel like i am not accomplishing anything mission wise by living in town anymore. Yes i do not have to fill up as often and i can have to social life and don't have to waste money by going in and out of town trying to find something to do, but my main reason for moving in is to save mission money. Since i was told i have to wait, my desire to serve a mission isn't all that big. I am not very patient when it comes to waiting. I love being in town and yes, i am in Becky's room and she will have it when she comes for Thanksgiving, but i feel like i am using them cause the only way i help them out is i cook for them sometimes and i do the dishes sometimes. I will put them in the dish washer and all. I am learning more on how to cook though.
So i am not being persecuted anymore really by people outside the church for being a member of the church, which is amazing! It is a huge stress reliever. I get stressed way easily and it helps me to stay calm when people aren't saying so often that I am wrong and all.
Well. that is it really on my life right now. Take care!
