Epic Weekend

This last weekend I got to go up to Rexburg and see some of my friends for a few days. It ended up being one of the greatest weekends ever. Friday I got to go with one of my friends to the temple which was big to me. It was a big help for me in the comfort and answers I got. That night we did a group date, and murder mystery dinner. It was a lot of fun and I think everyone had a good time. Saturday was a pretty chill day, not a whole lot happened except for the evening of playing the game "signs". . .again. It was our favorite game last semester and so it was quite nostalgic. Sunday, a friend gave a talk in church on faith and character and it was such a good talk that really made me think about what I do daily. That friend is such an inspiration to me. I was planning on coming back that night but decided to stay for an extra night. I am very glad that I did because it was really nice to spend my final morning up there in a quiet scripture study along side others that are on the same level as me. I came back on Monday and went into work and found that in a couple weeks, I have four days off in a row. That never happens. I haven't even had two days in a row off unless I made it happen. This time my boss did it and I had no idea. The best part is that this particular weekend is the weekend that one of the guys is going to be in Salt Lake City and the three that are in Rexburg are going to go see him. Now, I get to go with them and have a "guys weekend". I am so excited about that. God has really been blessing me tremendously. As one song on my playlist says, "After the hurricane comes the rainbow." I am glad, however, that I am back home because there is real food here. My mom set out some dinner for me when I hot home from work and even though it was leftovers, it tasted so good.

Glad you had so much fun!!! You deserve it. Home cooking is always the best, whether it is leftovers or not. Can't wait to have some soon.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
