TOO MANY DEATHS

The department that I work for here at BYU has had an eventful 3 weeks. Lets start with 3 weeks ago: I felt really bad, but one afternoon at work my boss called me in a panic and said that I needed to come to here office, that she was leaving for an emergency. So I went to her office. A few hours later she called me and said that her mom had died. I felt really bad! So Paula was then out of the office for the rest of the week for the funeral and arrangements. Paula returned to work on the following Monday. This very same day, I got the same phone call. Paula's dad had died that morning. I thought for sure it could not get any worse than loosing both of your parents only 1 week apart. So, I again took Paula's position for thew week. However on Thursday the other secretary that I work with in the mornings called me and said that her grandma had died. So, I was then covering for Paula and for Bekah. I felt so bad for both of them. Then to make matters worse this week our pet frog in the office died. Ok so I really have to say that it was the sickest thing that has happend in a long time. I had to clean it out. :( It smelled so gross and was just plain nasty. Finally, one of the grad students in my department's grandma died this weekend. I think that I may need to stay away from work??

Just for Mel

Ok so officially I am the worst blogger ever! I never update...and finally Mel told me that I had to fix it lol. Life is pretty uneventful lately. It seems to just be school and work oh and then more school and work. School is going really great though! I just took my first test of the semester and got 90%!! Off to a really good start! Now I just need to keep it up lol. I am taking six classes right now so its bit of a challenge! I am at Weber State and at BYU! I am loving both! I cant wait to graduate in the summer! Um lets see...I signed a new contract for a new apt for next school year! I am really excited! I will be only 2 blocks away from school, have covered parking-at least a little-, and a washer and dryer!! Its going to be great! I will really miss my ward where I am now and I will seriously miss Jaclyn!! But everything will be great! I am proud to say that this week I finally worked up enough courage to go the dentist lol. It had been a nice 7-8 years since I had been. Not such a good plan lol. But I am happy to say that I had no cavities and no problems!! Go me! lol. Well I think that is about it today! Mel, I will give an effort to get better at updating lol...no promises though!

Finally an update

Hello everyone! I know thats its been forever since I have updated my blog. I just never have time...ok I might also just be to lazy to write down all my life stories online lol. Well I finished my first semester at BYU! I love it down there! I really should have gone there first! I finally passed my math class also! It only took my 3 times lol but hey better late than never! I am also going to be going to 2 schools this coming semester. I will be going to Weber and BYU. I will be finishing my associates degree at weber to transfer to BYU...meaning no more generals at BYU. However I will be taking 17 credit hours...kill me now! Yikes, but it will be great in the long run. Other than school, I work...a lot! I work on campus as a secretary. However during the Christmas break I have been working for my grandparents in the fabric store. I have also been filling in at the moving company that I used to work for. Well in the midst of school and work I managed to have a great Christmas! I spent it with my family just hanging out and relaxing and got some great gifts! Christmas was also really great because I got to talk to my brother who is on his mission in Ghana Africa! He is doing really great! New years will be great because I get the whole day off work! I cant wait! Well thats all for now!

Parking Ticket Fun

I can proudly say that I have never gotten a ticket before...until last Friday. Ok so it wasnt a real parking ticket, it was just from BYU but still it was my first ticket of any sort. So after I did the walk of shame to my car...seeing the green ticket stuck to my windshield I went home to my computer to pay it. Well, when i got online to pay the ticket-i typed in my license plate number and it said I did not have any citations to pay. So I figured it was just not in the system yet so I left it for a few days. Well when I logged on again to pay it a few days later it was still not there. So today I figured I would try it again. Well same story...no citations to pay came up. Now I was really curious why it was not there, so I dug through my draw at home to find my ticket and see. Well wouldnt you know that it wasnt my license plate number!!! I was so freaking excited! Cuz its not my ticket I now really am citation free!!! GO ME!! lol It was a great suprise...not my fault the cop cant read!

Who Knew!?

Well a few nights ago me and some friends from the ward decided we were going to go hot tubbing...so we put our suits on and went to the pool. Well when we got there, there was no water in the hot tub-go figure. So Jaclyn and Whitney decided maybe we would check out the pool. Well while they were sticking their feet in checking the water...I was busy watching a swimmer. However this is no ordinary swimmer! After watching it for a bit I finally asked the girls "guys what is that swimming over there?" Well we get to looking and it was a MOUSE!! EW!! The weirdest part is that is full on swimming around the pool! Who knew they could swim!? It was nasty! Needless to say we did not get in and left the pool. Well after that adventure we decided to make a run to Sonic-this time we added Mclean to the group. After our run to Sonic for drinks and treats, Mclean decided he wanted to see the mouse and see if it was still alive. So we went back to the pool. Well wouldnt you know that 45 mins later it was still swimming! Still really gross! But to make it better...Mclean was having hard feelings about leaving the mouse to die in the pool-just to make clear I wanted to leave it there!!So Mclean used the pool net to get it out and set it free...meanwhile us girls are watching it freaking out! I officially hate mice! And I officially dont think that I will ever swim in our pool!

New Adventure

Well its been a long time since I have updated by blog and figured I was way overdue. Well a lot has happened lately! Lots of big changes! The biggest change in my life is I moved out and I am living in Provo now! I live in a great APT with Jaclyn and one other roommate who doesnt really live here so really its me and Jaclyn! We are loving it! We both have our rooms and a vanity with a sink in our room too so no worries on sharing bathrooms! Its a big change but I am really starting to like it! I have transferred schools from Weber State to BYU! A bit of a shock, but I am loving it! Its like a whole new world down here! Everyone is so friendly and talks to everyone they see! I am taking Math (Algebra), American Heritage and Living Prophets. Hopefully this semester will be great! I have also started a new job! I am now working at the RMYL (Recreation Management and Youth Leadership) department for BYU! I am a secretary...while the job is pretty slow and not much happens all day I have plenty of time to do homework and to enjoy school! I also bought a new car! I have a new Honda Accord! Its so cute! Its white and has 4 doors! Its such an upgrade from the last car I drove! So the theme for my life the past couple of months is NEW! New car, new school, new city, new apt, new friends...its just all new! And Im loving it!
