Wowzer!

I don't know what is happening but all of sudden guys want to date me. I have been on two dates in four days. I have a date on friday and just got asked out on date for Saturday. It is a little weird. I'm not use to this!!

On a different note, school is going well. Its starting to get stressful again because the end of the semester is in sight! Its crazy to think I've almost made it through my first semester of college! I'm very thankful that I am able to go to school and further my education. Its not the easiest thing in the world, but it is well worth it. I've already signed up for my classes and I'll be taking English, math, reading strategies class, nutrition, and one other class that I can't remember at the moment. I'm looking forward to the next semester and to making new friends.

Overall I'm feeling good about life again. All I need to do is find a job again.

Speed Dating

Last night for F.H.E. we had a combined stake speed dating activity. I was skeptical about going to it, but I figure it would be a good way to meet and make some friends. I talked Michell into going with me, but she ended up canceling, and my roommates invited me to go with them. We got there a little bit late, and it was full! We didn't have anywhere to sit and it started making me feel awkward, and I just wanted to leave. Well we stuck around and they finally set up some chairs, and I got to mingle. I met a lot of interesting people to say the least. I did make a couple friends, Kevin and Danny. Kevin is actually a friend to one of my roommates, so I've met him before, but we officially friends now. Danny is his roommate, and they are both really neat guys. They kind of captured me and took me to their house for f.h.e. It made me want to start doing f.h.e. at my house, and having family prayer. It was awesome for me to see a group of 8 guys have f.h.e. together. I'm sure I will be hanging out with them a lot more.

What a weekend....

Well its been a rough five days to say the least. I guess you could say I went through a little heart break, and that is never easy or fun. Then I got sick Halloween night and ended up throwing up. I just got done disposing of what I ate for the day and brushed my teeth. I looked up in the mirror, and that was the last thing I remember until I woke up sprawled out on the bathroom floor looking up at the ceiling. I fainted, and hit my head pretty hard because I had a headache for two days, and yesterday my body was a little sore and stiff. Luckily I have great family and friends that have helped me find the light again. Monday, Brynn sat and talked to me all day and cheered me. Tuesday I went to three different temples; Draper, South Jordan, and Oquirrh Mountain with Michell. we did 26 baptisms each. It was good to get out of the house and do something meaningful. Then Wednesday I headed to Taylorsville to see some of my favorite cousins, Lacee and Lincoln. Robbie is out of town for eight days, and they were a little worried about me, so I figured I would go spend the day with the two of them. We had lunch, went to target, played with Lincoln, and had dinner. It was good for the both of us to get our mind of things. They are the best examples to me, and I love them dearly. I'm feeling good again, and I get to go home this weekend which I'm excited for!

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!
