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!

Weekend/ English Professor

This past weekend I got to go home, and go to the cabin. It was a good get away for me. My mom planned a girls trip with two of her friends, and I just invited myself. We had a great time going on four wheelers rides, taking pictures, and playing hand and foot. I think we all wanted the weekend to last a little longer. It was a great weekend, with great people, and great food!

Now, moving on to my English Professor. Her name is Jane Wellington, and I'm always surprised by her. When I first saw her, she seemed like a down to earth person (literally) and she seemed nice, I was a little intimidated, but that went away pretty quickly. Well the other day in class she made us make a list of things that we knew a lot about, or that we were good at. So while we were making our lists, she was making one too on the board. Well one of her topics was "being dumped for a younger women" It threw me off guard. I wasn't expecting that to be discussed. I'm so use to high school where you keep your private life to yourself. Then today before class started My english professor and the math professor got in a little cat fight before our class started, and my professor ended up calling the math professor a "female dog" and it totally caught me off guard again! College definitely is different than high school.

The life

Well life has been full of chaos lately. I never realized how much time and effort college takes. I give kudos to anyone who has graduated with a degree with good grades. I feel like I do nothing but school these days. I'm taking 5 classes 6 if you count institute. I have English, University Success (class thats suppose to help you succeed in college), Health, Psychology, and Teaching students with disabilities. So far, I'm liking all my classes some more than others, but I'm still enjoying them, and learning a lot.

Last night I went to a Pizza party at my friend Bo's apartment. He wants to go to culinary school so everything was made from scratch. He even made the dough. He made me a spinach mushroom something pizza (a fancy name that I don't remember) It was quite tasty. Then he made a foreign pizza with peanut butter on it. Sounds weird but it actually tasted pretty good. Then he made a honey, peach, cheese, and something else with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top. It was so so good. I don't think that I would ever think to put any of those ingredients on a pizza. I mad a new friend while I was there. Here name is Toni/Tawni (I'm horrible with names and I don't really remember.) She seems like a great girl! I was very impressed, and I want to be just like her now. She is so kind, doesn't say anything mean, looks for the positive in every situation, and is a true example of being christ like. I gave her a ride home (She is going to BYU and doesn't have a car) and she got my number and said that she would call me, and I can come hang out with her and her roommates because they are really cool. So I'm excited to get to know them!

Work is so so, I'm feeling a change coming on very quickly! Well I'm off to do some homework.
