So I forgot to mention that I graduated on November 13th!! I am so excited!! and I also already passed one of my state tests!! I take my second test on the 5th of December!! I'll let you know how things go!! but here's some pictures of Me and McCall's graduation!!
This is just a Thank You to EVERYONE for your support for me and my family at this time! Thank you for all your prayers and all that you do for our family! All of you are amazing people!! I want to thank Skylar and his family for their support! They are all awesome! :D Love all of you!
So The Last couple weeks have been super crazy! I haven't really had time to sit down and write. We took Ethan to the hospital for his siezures and they are pretty sure that there is a part of his brain that wasn't developed right, and that is what is causing them. They are going up to Primary Childrens today to see a siezure specialist to see what they can do for him! :( Poor little kid! He hadn't had a siezure for a whole week and 2 days until this morning! He had another one and it just breaks my heart! The only way he can describe them is "OW!" Hopefully they can fix whatever needs to be done. But looking at the situation I feel so BLESSED! One of my closest friends in my Singles Ward was telling me the other night that her brother was going through the same thing but it's basically 10X worse than Ethan. He has been having them for almost a month straight and constantly....basically every day. And the same week that my brother was having them, her friend from work and her grandma passed away. I felt so humbled after she told me of her situation. It made me realize how blessed I truly was, and that it can always be worse than the situation that you are going through! I also feel so blessed that I had someone there! That we knew what the other person was going through and we can be there for each other through it! I hope that she is doing better. I haven't seen her for a week now. I hope her family is doing well! On a better note, Me and Skylar are doing very well! :D love you guys that read! Thanks for listening! :D
So last weekend was so much fun! On Friday, Me and Skylar went up to Aspen Grove on a retreat for his Choir! It was a lot of fun. I got to meet a lot of new people, and I got to hear them sing! :D They are amazing! We basically had dinner, they sang, and we played games! It was a lot of fun. Everyone else stayed overnight, but we didn't obviously. So we went home early, but it was still a lot of fun! Then, on Saturday, we had our ward activity! We went Laser Tagging! :D It was a lot of fun! We had an amazing turn out!! 36 people, and that includes a handful of inactives! It was awesome! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves! It was so good! Then, on Sunday, wow Sunday was quite a day!! I went to church, and Skylar got a cold from me, so he didn't feel good all day, and then we ate at my house, and then at his later. but after dinner, We were just waking up from a nap, and the twins were at the counter eating dessert, and all of the sudden it looked like Ethan fell asleep at the table. So we were laughing for a minute, and then my mom started trying to wake him up, and we realized that his eyes were open, and he was breathing, but he wasn't moving, and he was completely non-responsive. So me and my mom were panicing a little bit, because he wasn't moving after a few minutes, so we were both crying, and Skylar and Dad gave him a blessing, and during the blessing he started moving again! It was one of the scariest moments of my life. I thought that my little brother was dying in my arms. :( But after the blessing he was at least moving, but my mom and dad took him to the Emergency Room to see what was going on, and they think that he is having what they call Silent Seizures. It's so sad. This little 4 year old boy having seizures. And He can't talk to us, so we didn't know if they have been going on for a while, only really minor. So yeah, Interesting day. He went to the doctors this morning, and I still haven't heard anything from my dad. Hopefully I will find out soon and I will let you all know. Anyways. There is my crazy weekend, and I am so THANKFUL this weekend for the Priesthood! Holy Cow! Last night strengthened my Testimony Tremendously!! It was incredible!
Okay, so this WHOLE week Devin has convinced Skylar to have Movie Time EVERY night!! It's so bad! He keeps him up all hours of the night to watch a movie and then he can't wake up on time for work in the morning! BAD! So i hadn't given into it until last night! After Institute we had a bunch of people over and ordered Papa Johns pizza and watched "Fun with Dick and Jane"! It was fun! We got done EARLY though! It was so nice! 10:45! :D I was so happy that I was still able to go home and get a decent amount of sleep! It made me so happy! But It was so much fun! I love Movie Time. It just has to be early :D
So Me and Skylar went on a drive up the Alpine loop on Thursday night! It was so nice outside! We had been planning on going up for a few weeks but had never gotten around to doing it. But we finally got up there! There weren't as many colors on the trees anymore, (there may have been if we had gone up earlier when we had planned) but that was okay. It was still fun to just go up and take pictures, relax and talk for a while!
Last night was the Young Single Adult Halloween Dance. Our Singles ward Activities Commitee was in charge of the whole thing. Some of us were stressing out a lot because we were pretty behind getting things set up, but it turned out just fine. It turned out to be way fun and a big success. Over 150 people came which was about all we expected, so it was way good! Everyone dressed up and just had a good time! It was awesome! :D
So, this last Friday night (every Friday night is date night), Me and Skylar and Candace and Scott went to Hee Haws!! It was so much fun! we never really get to just go out places and do things. We went to the Haunted Corn maze. It wasn't the scariest thing i've ever been to but it was pretty jumpy haha. It was so much fun though! Just to be able to go and spend some time with Skylar! I miss just going out and doing fun things. I think this next Friday we are going to go Mini Golfing! YEAH! i'm pumped!! :D
Okay...so i have to admit... the whole acting thing wasn't as bad as I thought that it would be. I still will more than likely never act again, but it honestly turned out AWESOME! :D We had a turn out of 74 people (that includes 7 inactives, 2 non-members, and 3 dates)!!! We set a ward record for activity attendance! it was amazing! It really went well, and people enjoyed themselves! We had Wallaby's that catered the food too! so that was pretty cool! Anyways. It turned out awesome! I will definently post pictures when I get the chance!
So Wednesday, after an amazing Institute lesson, we had to practice for our "Murder Mystery Dinner" activity for this Saturday. It was quite interesting. I decided that after Saturday night i will never act EVER again! I am possibly the VERY WORST actress in the whole world! i can't decide why i even agreed to take the part. My character is Chloe Cabot. The enthusiastic journalist who is in love with the richest man in town. It's interesting. I'm not sure i will be so hot acting. During pratice, I swear I was the only bad one! Everyone else did awesome! but oh no...not me. Not even close....So...I'm never acting ever again. I am a very very lame actress! VERY! Anyways.. just thought i'd share :D
So right now I am on the Activities Committee in my Singles Ward. I am the Head of the History Committee, and am so excited because i get to Scrapbook all of the activities that we do each Saturday night! I get to take pictures as well so that's pretty awesome! :D I honestly love doing it. I also have 4 girls that i'm over on the History Committee! so they get to help me and it's a lot of fun! I love it!
I just wanted to take the time to talk about Skylar! He is honestly one of the most caring, loving people that i know! We started dating a little over a month ago, and have "officially" been together for a little over a week now. So i just wanted to tell everyone how AWESOME he is! (and him as well!) He does so much for everyone! For the ward, and for his friends! He seriously is one of my biggest heros. Just wanted to tell him I love him and appreciate all that he does! :)
So on Saturday for our Singles Ward activity, we went to Art Dye and played Softball! :) It was a lot of fun! First, I met with the Activities Committee, and we got everything ready to go. We made Shish Kabobs! it took a while, and a couple things kept breaking while we tried putting them on the skewers, but it worked out well. We had an awesome time! That night it happened to be Rhett Smith in the ward's birthday! He turned 19, so that was pretty cool!
I did get hit by the softball three times!! They hurt but i will be alright. Actually, funny story. The first time i got hit, I was playing first base, and Devin was playing Pitcher. He went to throw me the ball, and i wasn't fast enough so it hit my arm, and bounced right in between my legs so i caught it anyways, and got the kid out on first! It was pretty awesome! :D good story to go along with a good bruise! So i had a lot of fun! I think it will totally be an awesome activity for anyone to have! highly recommend it!
So yesterday was Sunday! :D and it was actually a really good day for me! church was way good, very insightful! It was testimony meeting, and we were able to actually have one of the 70 in our Sacrament Meeting which was pretty cool! He had an awesome testimony! Then we got to learn about how to strenghten our testimonies in Relief Society which was a way good lesson! Props to Maggie Eyering! :D Then i got to hang out with my family and play games that night! Skylar Haws came along and hung out and got to meet my fun loving Uncle Adam and my Aunt Penny! Two of my favorite people in this whole world! they are so much fun to be around! Penny was about to die if she didn't get to meet Skylar soon, for some weird reason! haha i don't even know why, we haven't even been dating very long, and not super exclusively either! but it went AWESOME! they got along great all night, and we all just ate and played Apples to Apples and had a blast! it was way good! I was so glad that it went over smoothly! :D
Work tonight was so beyond stressful! I can't even put into words how awful it really was! I work at Bricktown Pizzeria in Pleasant Grove. I get paid crap, and they don't give me enough hours, so i have been looking for a job but have hardly applied anywhere because i simply just don't have the time to look. But tonight i came in at 5 and everything was fine, until "T" (Theda [My Manager]) left me and Zach by ourselves! and of course the moment she leaves, we get swamped! at one point i had 8 orders and i was by myself because zach was on a delivery! Phew! it was bad! and to make it all better, nothing was ready, so i had to do everything inbetween EVERYTHING! AH! it was just crazy! then zach went home early! bummer! so i'm just by myself for an hour! oh well... time to find a new job i suppose...FAST!
