Busy Week....

This past week was..... interesting. School started for Rich and me. Rich is only taking one class so he wasn't as stressed as me I think. I was not looking forward to it at all. (I am taking 4 classes) Wednesday came around though, and it was great! I went to biology, and I am pretty sure I have a new hero! Her name is Kristen, and she is my professor. I have never met someone who I am so intrigued with! (that sounds weird, but she is fascinating!) I have to say I really have loved the college I have been exposed to. (yep the entire week of it!) I was expecting much worse, but all in all it was great!
Colette and I hung out a lot too this week, and Colette don't shoot me, but I can't even remember what we did except listen to Dr. Laura, at one point! (read on to find out why!) Oh and we had a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie party!
Okay so on to the craziness...
Rich was scheduled to have his wisdom teeth out on Friday. We were planning on having him rest on Friday, and then maybe going out to the lake for my work summer party Saturday. It did not happen. Rich went in for surgery, and when he woke up, Debbie and I went in to see him. He did not look very good. (It made me a little sick, which is weird because I am not very easily grossed out, especially in the oral heath field!) Well he wasn't feeling sick to his stomach or anything, so Dr. U signed him out and we put him in the wheel chair. Before he had even been sitting in the chair long, he passed out, and started throwing up blood. At first I was worried, but not freaking out. (mostly because it's not too uncommon, the passing out part I mean) Then Dr. U came in and was quite concerned about it. Saying he didn't know what was going on and that they needed to get a new IV in Rich. Then I really started getting worried. We sat him back down (awake by now) and he was given some really powerful drugs to keep him from throwing up anymore. Poor Rich. It broke my heart to see him this way. It took about 2 hours for him to get stable, and then we took him home. He was much more sick than I thought he would be, so I just stayed right next to him until like 10. Today he was doing much better, especially as the day progressed. But holy cow, did he scare me!!
Tonight we watched a movie with Matt and Jenna! It was fun to get to hang out with them, and to catch up! It seems like forever!! I can't remember the name of the movie, although Matt told me several times! It was good though! It's always fun to get together with your old high school buddies! :) I guess not that old... thanks Matt and Jen!

End Of Summer

This weekend Rich's family invited us to go boating with them to Flaming Gorge. We had to leave at like 7 on Friday night, so we didn't even get there until 10. It was a fun drive with Rich though. We got all settled, and went to bed. We all woke up to the sound of rain on the tent, and decided to go out on the lake anyways. So we loaded up all our warm clothes, blankets, and coats, and left camp. The water was actually pretty warm, but the air was freezing! Rich skied a bit (more like forever), and then I attempted to ski, again. I was much better than my last attempt, but my wrist that I had surgery on, like snapped so I stopped. Every one else was kinda bummed about the weather, but I have never been on a boat while its raining so I enjoyed it. Because of the weather Rich wanted to show me all the cool things to look at in the canyon, so we just drove around on the lake. (For those of you who haven't been here, it is the biggest lake I have ever seen in my life. It was huge!) Rich and I took a nap in the Cutty (not sure I spelt that right) but it's like the little cabin. Debbie came in at one point when we were sleeping and told us it was snowing! Then when we woke up it was warm and sunny. Talk about bipolar weather! We had a lot of fun though!

We said our "goodbye"s to Cort Thursday night. She is moving down to Provo, for school, so we decided to have a little fun. We went down first to Sherrie's to grab a kennel for Gracie. While we were there Emma made everyone name tags out of origami paper (mine was a frog), and gave Cortney and Colton "gifts". Ben put on the "gun show". :) He is such a cute kid! We left and went to a park to just play. After recess was over Rich and I grabbed some food from Taco Bell, and we went to Colton's. We didn't really want to say goodbye, but it had to be done at some point, so we did. We will miss you so much Cort!! Thanks for the fun times!

(apparently I took the pictures of us on the boat with Debbie's camera! Danget!)

Insomniac?

I don't really think I am an Insomniac, but I hate those nights when you can't fall asleep! I have done the stupidest things in hopes that I would fall asleep, but nothing! I added my profile on Msn spaces to talk to one of my sisters. I added a ton of friends on facebook! (actually I don't even like facebook, but it is the easiest way I know of to find people!) I have played with my dog, but even he fell asleep eventually! What do you do!? I can't eat anything because usually I get sick, I don't want to start a movie because I have heard if you fall asleep to the TV you have to much cautious in your life. I just finished reading breaking dawn, and my sis in law has it, and it's the only book I am in the mood to read at the moment so no to that! Now I am blogging....PRAYING that I will start to get sleepy!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

This weekend was awesome! We started off the weekend by going to the Martina McBride concert for my birthday! (Thanks Rich!) It was my first real concert and I loved it! She has been my favorite country singer since I was thirteen so it was fun. As soon as she said goodnight, Rich and I rushed to the truck so we could go stand in line for Breaking Dawn with Sherrie.
It turned out Sherrie wasn't going to come down until 12:30, so we went to visit Colette and Kyle. Rich and Kyle watched shark week, while Colette and I blog surfed. We decided to go look at a few stores to see what the lines were like. Walmart had alot, then we looked at B&N and there were over 1000 people waiting in line!! So we decided to try another, less busy Walmart, where we walked right up and got our books without any line! It was great! So we were out of there by 12:15 and I bought Sherrie's book for her so we didn't have to go wait somewhere else. I read from about 1:15 to 5:00 am, and decided I needed to go to bed.
An hour and a half later I had to wake up. Yep 1 1/2 hours of sleep. (If you know me, you know that is just begging for me to puke) It was Rich's family reunion for his dad's side. So I got some caffeine and ETTE. It was alot of fun. We got to visit alot, and I got to meet a few new people. When I got home again I read. (adrenaline rush?) Colette asked if I wanted to take a little brake and come shopping with her. We went to a couple of home deco stores. (thanks for saving me from the insanity!) Went home, and read. I did take a half hour nap with J-man though, so after that I was going on 2 hours of sleep.
Rich came over after shopping all afternoon with his dad for a car. We finally got one!! He got another ford focus, which we weren't looking for, but it was a huge blessing! We literally have not been able to afford hardly anything, and it has been really hard, but we were incredibly blessed to find this car, and get out of the truck. (and a nice little bonus from the dealership: a $250 gas card!) Later on, we went over to Henning and Alisha's and watched Dan in Real Life.
To top off our great weekend Rich was ordained an elder today. He asked my dad to ordain him, and of corse he did. It was beautiful. The tears were coming from everybody's eyes. The spirit was so strong. I am so grateful that I was able to witness this miracle, and that's exactly what it is. When I first met Rich he wasn't active and he didn't care anything about the church. Today I was a witness at just how far he has come. He is amazing, and I am so grateful for the things he does and how strong he is. Love you babe!
