Made it through the weekend!

First i want to start off this blog by saying that i love you Grandma Joan and know your in my prayers.

Well, this weekend was a nice change from my boring college life, and from the crazy 5 days before! Thanksgiving was such a great party! Thanks so much Grandma Linda for inviting us into your home:) it made me really happy that it wasn't just a grown up party where the adults just talked the whole time, we actually played a game that involved everyone from Grandma Loretta, to little Gracie! We played Catch Phrase, and it was amazing that Gracie got lots of the words on her own! Like jewelry box. Us adults couldn't get it but little Gracie got it all on her own!

On black Friday i went shopping! at like 2 in the afternoon, I'm not brave enough to go during the rush! but it was still crazy in Joan Fabrics! Me and my Grandma Loretta got there about 2 in the afternoon and we checked out at 4pm. There were lots of people getting fabric! We were number 30 because a lady didn't want to wait and gave us her number, at that time the Fabric counter was helping number 5... we were there for a while, but that was fine because it took me a long time to decide on what fabric i wanted. This year for Christmas i am making no sew blankets for some people! They don't take very long to make so i am already finished with 4 of them. Since the only two people that read my blog either A. went shopping with me and chose her colors(Grandma!) or B. I couldn't wait to show him so I already did!(Grandpa), I will put pictures on here to show what I have done!

This is all of them laying by each other.

This is Grandpa's, its just plain brown on one side and has a pattern of ducks on the other.

Here is the full Front of Grandpa's blanket.

This is Luis' Mom's blanket it is plain purple on one side and a faded purple with white Peace signs on the other.

Im not going to mention whos this is because they might read this but it is faded pink with white hearts on one side and faded purple with white peace signs on the other.

This is Luis' Aunt's blanket. Its tie dye red and orange on one side and plain orange on the other.

I really engoyed doing this and i only have two left but it is an expensive habit that i can not keep doing it. I spent $55 dollars on black Friday for 5 sets of fabric, and i saved over $100!! Joan Fabrics had a really great deal, 50% all the fabric and i also had a 20% off coupon so i got everything for 70% off! but it was still too expensive to do all the time.

I cant believe i only have one week left and the next is finals week!!! and then i will be home again for Christmas! but also will be home to get my surgery! I already got three of my wisdom teeth removed and now i have to get the second surgery to get the other three removed. I should be back to normal in about 4 days.

That is all i have on my mind right now, and this blog turned out to be extremely long!

PEACE&LOVE 

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

All i can say is this weekend(including Monday, Tuesday and Wensday)have been crazy. Luis gave me a huge surprise when he called me and told me to come open the door for him, after telling me an hour ago that he had to work all weekend... The only problem was he was snowed in. He wanted to leave on sunday but couldnt until today when he rode the bus home with me. here are some pictures from the past 5 days.

Here is my car...

Luis playing with the snow

Us together in the snow!

Here is some more snow on my way to the bus stop this morning...

and here are the roads:) i drove!

Well thats all i have for now! cant wait for thanksgiving tomorrow!!! Grandmas house smells like pies!!! love this time of year!!!

PEACE&LOVE

I almost forgot...

I ALMOST FORGOT THAT I GOT 100% ON MY GEOLOGY QUIZ TODAY:) AND I CALCULATED MY GRADE (BEFORE THIS QUIZ) AND I HAVE 138 PTS OUT OF 168 TOTAL. WHICH GIVES ME ABOUT AN 82%!! IM HAPPY:)

PS THERE WAS REALLY NO REASON I TYPED THIS IN ALL CAPS... JUST FELT LIKE IT.

PEACE&LOVE

New Dorm Room Set Up!!!

Here is the new set up for my dorm! It took me 4 hours to do all the moving and organizing but now i have way more room on my desk and our room feels way bigger!

My bed is now foot to foot with emily's



 All our appliences are now on one table!

The tv switched places with the fridge and the fish now resides on top of the microwave:)

My desk now has a lot more room on it:) and it also moved to the right about a foot.

My lamp is now in between our desks and my table top shelf is on both of our desks and we both use it.

well that is it for now... i cant wait to come home and see everyone for thanks giving.

PEACE&LOVE

and another day full of joy.

More like another day filled with work... and pain, but like always there is a down side and an up side to everyday, today just seems to have many of them. Here are a few of them.

• Upside-I got chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast!
• Downside-woke up at 7:45 and couldnt go back to sleep(even though i went to sleep at 3 in the morning because i couldnt FALL asleep...)
• Upside-My swim coach didnt show up for practice today so we played in the water and jumped off the diving boards and then left early.
• Downside-I really wanted to have a good hard practice today...
• Upside-We rearranged a lot of stuff in our room last night!!! (Pictures coming soon) And i love it!!!
• Downside-I have a Geology quiz tomorrow
• Upside-We just watched an interesting movie today in AIS
• Downside-only got a 20/30 on my last AIS quiz we got handed back today.

Well i think thats it for now! 

PEACE&LOVE

Slow Weekend

The weekend started yesterday after my 11 class, because today is a holliday and the whole school doesnt have class today. And tomorrow both my teachers cancelled class because they didnt think people would come anyways. so i took the day off all day and tomorrow i have to do virtual friday(online homework for my AIS class) and some other homework i have. Including researching a major, for my university 101 class. AND i have my dorm all to myself because my roommates both went home yesterday.

Yesterday the power went out for 50 min! it wouldnt have been that big of a deal but it was dark, and i found out that there really isnt anything to do when there is no light, tv or internet! it finally came back on after 50 min of people running up and down the halls of my dorm screaming, and it sounded like there was a cow giving birth in the middle of the street. I just hope that doesnt happen again.

Well thats about it, right now im watching the first Harry Potter on ABC Family... speaking of Harry Potter i forgot to get more movies when i went home last weekend... oh well ill get them in two weeks:)

PEACE&LOVE

Pictures!!!

Here are some pictures of the snow! (it calmed down a lot:)

Lame But Just What I Needed:)

This weekend i definitely just slept all weekend. i didn't even leave my dorm room at all:) and i enjoyed every min of it:)


BREAKING NEWS- I interrupt this paragraph to tell you that i 100% on my AIS quiz on Monday:) now back to that paragraph


I also was told that our dorm is NOT getting an oven.... I'm really upset about it because that means no cookies, cake, cornbread, or anything else that needs to be baked.... so Ive decided to ask for a toaster oven for Christmas... or i saw the new George Forman on TV and it can make muffins:) and bake things because it has changeable plates to cook things like that.


As for plans this weekend? I'M GOING HOME!!! I'm really excited... i miss everyone.. Grandma, Grandpa, Butch, Auntie Sue, Uncle Jon, Tapanga, Angel, Hurc, Abby.... am i missing anyone???? ha ha oh yeah! And Luis:) i cant wait to come home and see everyone and hold my baby butch:D
