Fall Break

Fall break was well needed! I went home for four days, and I enjoyed every minute of it. One of my favorite things about going home is how excited Nyah and Anastyn are to see me. Nyah came running out of the house and jumped into my arms, and Anastyn got a huge smile on her face and jumped into my arms too. They were full of smiles, and giggles. I'm dreading the day when they get older, and not so excited to see their Aunt Dizzle. I guess when that time come I'll have to get a dog (they are always excited to see you.)

I spent Thursday with the girls (Emily, Nyah, and Anastyn) running around, doing a little shopping, and went out to lunch. Then took a little break and took an Exam for my psychology class. Then I went out to my moms school and played at their school carnival. We took Nyah and Anastyn and they got to ride a big horse, they were so excited!

Friday, I went and saw one of my high school teachers, and then went out to lunch with Maureen. It was fun to catch up with her, and her busy family. Then I spent the rest of the night at home.

Saturday, the whole family went to Staheli Farm and played. We looked at the animals, played on the toys, ( I did the rope swing, and got a nice bruise on each leg from it.) Then we went to the pumpkin patch and picked out pumpkins. Then mom, Kenyon, and I did a little shopping, and then we went home and had Pizza and pumpkin carving with everyone. It was really fun to spend the day with family, and for the most part everyone got a long, and there wasn't too much fighting! It was a beautiful day!

Then my mom got sick, with some bad abdominal pain and its really scary to watch her! I don't like when my mom isn't feeling good, so we got her a blessing, and she went to bed. I'm glad she was feeling better by the time we left.

Then Janice was a big help, and helped me revise, and edit my english papers! She helped me out a ton, and I'm so so very thankful for her! She made me feel better, and I'm ready to jump back into school.

Even though I was pretty sick for the first half of the break, I'm glad I was with my family.

I'm feeling tons better, and I'm meeting with English Professor today to get help with my second paper. I'm a little nervous, it is always hard to ask for help, but in the long run I know it will pay off! Well I'm off to study for a midterm that I have to take tomorrow!

FRUSTRATED

It has been a week! I have been really busy with school, trying to get all these papers written, study for mid terms, and then to top it all off I got sick. (Go figure.) I was feeling pretty good about school, but now its starting to get me down. I got my first english paper back, and I thought I did really well on it, nope! Got a C-, and I have to redo it by friday if I want to get a better score. I feel like up until now I've been decent in english, but not so much any more. Then I took my health midterm and got an 86... not really happy with that either. I guess you live and learn. Hopefully I figure out how to write a stupid paper, and fast!

On the bright side I get to go home today, and have a little vacation, along with a lot of studying!

Weston

Yesterday, I had just got out of class and had made my way down to the counseling center, and I got my psychology book out to read, and of course then I checked my phone. Well I had a missed call from Weston, and a message. So I listened to the message... boy I was in a for an ear full! No joke he left me a 10 minute message! After looking really dumb because I was laughing out loud. I called my brother back. He then said he wanted to take me to lunch! Free food! I'm there. So he picked me up from campus in his rapist (work) Van. We drove across the street to the golden arches (McDonalds) and we had a short and sweet lunch. I had a 12 o clock appointment so we only spent a half hour together, but it made my day, and I smiled and laughed all day, and showed two people my long message. I love random visits from family!!!

Job

So Saturday when I went into work, I got there and my manager said, "Rilee come here I need to talk to you." When ever I hear those words I cringe. It usually means I'm in trouble. So I follow her to the back room where she says, "Jill (the district manager) wants me to tell you that even though you put your two weeks in that doesn't mean you have to be done." I was a little confused.... She then continued to say that she knows I'm worried about finding another job, and that I can stay longer. Then she asked me if I wanted to stay, and to think about it, so she can put me on the schedule or not. ha ha I started laughing to myself. Usually when someone puts in their two weeks notice it means there done. There is a reason they are leaving. It was a nice gesture, but no thank you!

Conference Weekend

Well life has been pretty good. This past weekend I got to go to conference with my mom and Kenyon. Its always a good experience! I love the feeling you get when your in the conference center. Its crazy how just being in the same room as the prophet and apostles brings the spirit 10x more! I also went to the haunted forest with my friend Drew. It was fun... I've decided that scary movies, and haunted houses don't really scare me, yes they may make me jump, but they don't really freak me out, give me nightmares, or anything like that. It was a good weekend.

Then friday, I finally put in my two weeks notice at Smart Style. It was really scary, but I'm glad its over with, and I'm feeling a lot better. Now I just have to get my other job in line, and maybe get a second one, I'll have to see how the first little bit goes, and if I can make enough money doing booth rent. If everything works out I will be working at a salon called Beautylicious. Its a cute little salon, and I'll be working with my old co-worker (Tyler) which would be fun! we get a long great.

School is going great, this month is stressing me out a little, but I'm sure I'll make it through. I have lots of tests (3 exams), papers (3), and then all my other homework. I will be so excited for fall break, and to go to St. George halloween weekend.

The weather here has been cloudy, and rainy. It actually feels like fall. I kind of like it right now, but I'm not really looking forward to the snow! I'm scared to death to drive in it, I'm just praying I can make it through the winter. Well thats pretty much it... nothing too exciting!
