Let The Good Times Roll!

Thanksgiving

I had a really fantastic thanksgiving this year! I really missed Lon, Steph, and Eden, and Lauren, but it was a blast to have Rick, Robin, and my Grandad here! I really appreciate Robin for always being there for me! Thanks for coming down for thanksgiving! Love you!

Rick and Robin rented a mustang from the airport, I got pretty excited about it, so we all took a ride!

And we got Robin in on the DDR fun!

TODAYS THE DAY!!!

Thanksgiving

I love this time of year! Thanksgiving to Christmas is the best time of year! I love it when the christmas lights go up and it starts to snow! Thats when all the magic happens! I can't wait! I also love getting to spend it with family!

Speaking of family, I heard that there was a chance that Rick and Robin were maybe going to come up to Ft. Collins for Thanksgiving. That would deffinately make that the best thanksgiving ever. So, this is me BEGGING you guys to please please please come up for thanksgiving! It would be so much fun! Please?

Rocky/Collins game and Corn Maze!

This has been the craziest weekend! It has been so much fun!!! Friday night was the Rocky/Collins game, and we won! Yay! Saturday morning I went out to Greeley to take the ACT's which wasn't fun, but then I speant the day with my sisters which was really fun! Then that night I went out with some of my friends to a haunted corn maze! It was a blast!

This is beginning to make math class look like fun...

Monday afternoon after getting home from taking my senior pictures, I was getting out my homework so I could get started when I was suddenly in so much pain that I hit my kitchen floor and curled up. I was in pretty bad pain for about the next hour. I couldn't sit up or move or do a whole lot of anything but moan. After about an hour the pain wasn't quite as bad so I started to work on homework but eventually gave up and went to bed. The next morning I woke up about 4:30 in pain so I didn't go to seminary. I got up around 6:45 and got ready for school. I went to my first hour but was in so much pain that it was basically worthless. After 1st hour I went home and figured if I just rested for a while I'd be fine. When 4:00 rolled around and I still wasn't feeling better my mom called the doctor. I went into the doctor and they sent me over to the hospital to have bloodwork done and a CT scan. They let me leave there around 7:30 and called a half hour later. They told me it looked like I had a cyst on my left overy and to call the Doctor in the morning.



We called the doctor as soon as they opened on Wednesday morning but the earliest they could get me in was 11:15, so I went to a little bit of school and then my mom picked me up and took me to the doctor. They sent me BACK over to the hospital for more blood work and gave me a perscription for some pain pills. I got my bloodwork done and rested for a while and then had to go BACK to the hospital for an ultrasound. They finally found out last night (wednesday night) that I had a hemorrhiegic cyst on my left over that had ruptured. There is usually a small amount of blood in your abdomin when this happens, but I had a little more than usual. The good news is that this is supposed to mean I'm over the worst of it and should only get better from here. The bad news is that I'm still in SO much pain and can hardly move without getting nauseous. Hopefully I'll be feeling better in a few days...

So this one time at choir camp...

(I'm told this quote comes from a bad movie that I have not seen by the way, but it was the quote we used all weekend long, so I had to use it!)

This past weekend I had a choir retreat with my advanced woman's choir- Prima Voce up at Buckhorn camp. It was way cold but we had a blast being very silly and singing our vocal cords out. There are so many girls in the choir that I absolutely adore! It was a really nice break to get out with so many girlfriends because basically all I do anymore is homework, studying, seminary and school! So I appreciated the weekend even though it's great to be back to my own bed and clean showers! :)



It was really foggy when we got there and kind of creapy actually!

Dance Party!!!



By the end of the weekend we were really tired but it was worth it!!!

Because I'm a sap...

...and because I'm a SENIOR!!!!

...and because I wanted my sisters to see how I looked on my first day of my senior year (especially so Steph can see my new vest!!!)

...and because I wanted my Daddy to see his baby girl leaving for her senior year

...and because I only get to live it once, might as well document it!!!



Yes, I did take a picture of my shoes



Getting ready for my first day of senior year



Excited for my fist day!
