Insanity!

So have you ever felt like your life is slowly spinning out of control? Well the last couple of days I have. Wednesday was probably the most traumatizing morning of my entire life. I don't really want to get into the nitty gritty details, but to sum up when Devin woke up he could not move his body at all. He could wiggle his fingers and that is it. If you know Devin you know that sitting still is not his thing so something is terribly wrong. After getting a priesthood blessing from my uncles since pops was already in Lehi my mom called the ambulance and they stuck him on a stretcher and whisked him away to primaries. So that is where currently my saintly mother and devdog are (and tibi, thanks so so much for being there!! you've been so great!). Then today after work I was on my way home to shower and then head up back to the hospital when I slowly realize that there is this horrible grinding noise coming from my front left tire. Yeah it really took me a whole minute to figure out that I had a flat on the freeway! So I turned on my hazards and went to the side of the freeway and called my dad. Luckily I knew he was at the salt lake store so he could come help. Meanwhile I figured it was a lovely day outside and I knew my dad wouldn't get there for a few minutes so I decided to sit on the cement barrier that I was parked next to. I started texting someone and then after a few minutes I looked up and a man is walking towards me. He told me that his name is Lance and that he has three daughters and wouldn't feel good about himself if he didn't stop to help me. I almost started crying because I thought that it was so nice of him to help me. I told him my dad was on his way, but he said he would at least get me started. He was really fast though because when my dad got there he was done. (I had never changed a tire before, but it doesn't look that hard so next time I think I'll just try to do it first.) So I thanked Lance a whole load and so did my pops and then Lance drove away. I just thought it was awesome of him to stop to help me, it's good to know that people are still nice! Then my dad gave me the look, the look that says "I've been telling you for a whole year to get your dang tires changed." and I smiled and then he smiled and gave me a hug and went on his way to the hospital. I took the back roads home with the spare. (Did I mention he opened a Scaddy's in Lehi? Well he did and it's awesome!) I went and got my tires changed and now I am here at home getting ready to go back to the hospital. So even though pops didn't change my tire I am so glad that I have a dad that will come help me whenever I need it, even if he is super busy! So ya. OH I think you may be wondering how devin is doing. Well I don't know. Yesterday he lifted his arms over his head so that was awesome! He still won't move his legs much though and still can't sit up. He got an MRI today and I guess we'll have to see if that shows anything. His seizures are really really bad right now, but they switched his medication and hopefully they will calm down soon. Well I better get going. I hope you don't blow a tire today.

Choices...

Right now I can choose to:

• Do all my homework that I have been avoiding since Spring Break started (which is quite a lot). or..
• I could spend my last night of freedom being free and having fun.

Rough choice, I know what I should do but don't know whether I'm willing to do it right now or not.

In good news I have my school all figured out so that I can graduate next may! Only one more year and I am done!

luck continued...

I forgot to put the super awesome good luck that had originally inspired this post, but somewhere along the way forgot about. As far as my car goes I normally get screwed. I end up paying much more for parking tickets and for repairs then I would have originally thought, but all in one day I got lucky. I told you that I was running late for my test and parked in a spot which I don't have a permit for, but I didn't tell you that when I came out and I DIDN'T get a ticket!! Wahoo!! That has never happened to me ever!(I've done it a lot and have always gotten a ticket, I should just buy a permit I know) But I was sooo happy that karma gave me a break! Then my check engine light had been on for like three weeks so I decided to finally take it in. My mom and I went shopping while they checked it out and when we went back my car guy(I don't know his name, but I go to him for all car issues) he came up to me and was like "a tube popped off, but I just stuck it back on and I changed a blinker bulb so the keys are in the car and you're good to go" and I was like "Well that awesome how much do I owe you?" and he said, "Nothing your good" and I was completely flabbergasted because since when do car people give you anything free? so I asked, "Are you sure?" and he rolled his eyes and told me very nicely to get in my car and go home. I was so happy! What a nice surprise. Anyway, there was more good luck then i had orignally told you and I wanted to share. have a good day.

Luck

Ya want to know something? In the last two days I've had a lot of luck, good and bad. Yesterday morning was more bad luck, but funny bad. I didn't have school and I didn't have work until 12 so I could sleep in! That might sound lucky to most people and usually I would also, except that I have been on a waking schedule of 5:30 since this new semester began that that is exactly when I woke up naturally. Sad news. So I went downstairs to, i don't even know, do something and I saw that molly was outside so I let the poor puppy in thinking that she got left out there all night. *Remember that I had not turned on any lights at this point* So I went to go back upstairs when I stepped in something super squishy....sick. Come to find out molly had just been let outside but no one had seen her nasty misdeed. So I'm trying not to throw up and clean my foot up and then take care of the super nasty, apparently I was loud. So I woke up my mother and after all the crap was cleaned up, we watched pride and prejudice. That helped the morning. a lot. I then went back to bed at 7:30. (This was bad with a tidbit of good luck)

Here is the good luck with a bit of bad. So this morning I was running late and decided to just get a dang ticket and park right next to the building that I needed to get to. So I got to my test on time!...then I'm pretty sure that I failed, but oh well. i then went to my psych stats class and was nervous because we were getting our test back and I got a 94!!!! I am still so estatic about this because I just wasn't sure. So great day oh and Project Runway tonight! good stuff....but then I did find out that I owe taxes and am not getting a refund which sucks, but its just money right?

Oh and p.s. if you are a girl who likes goofy teen girl movies that are funny and semi scandalous I am suggesting you go redbox Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging. So funny if you are expecting a stupid goofy teen girl movie!(watching it with old roommates makes it super funny too!)

The last of 2009

Can I just say the last of 2009 was awesome!!! The holidays were so much fun even if scattagories got a little intense :) haha but New Years eve was awesome and I had a blast! Then new years day actually making a poached egg with my mama (eggs benedict) was delish. Good times. I will add detail later but I am just now saying goodbye to 2009 which was kind of a crazy hectic year for me, and hello to 2010 which I have started off in such a good way!! I am feeling good about the new year! Already having a visit from Kristi Kay and Derrick which was awesome to see them even if it was for a short while! Then Kimberley is coming! It has just been a really fun first couple of days in the new year! Too bad school starts on tuesday, but i'm trying to be optimistic about that too, so ya.

Its a Wonderful Life...

Every Christmas season I attempt to watch 'Its a Wonderful Life' and every year I remember how much I hate that movie. The beginning and the end are cute, but the rest is depressing and gets me so tense that I can't enjoy the movie. So after my once again failed attempt to watch what I call 'Its a horrible crappy life' I decided to watch 'Julie and Julia'. I love that movie. It makes me crave bruschetta. I've only had my mom's version of bruschetta (which is delicious) but wow all that butter on the bread and those ripe tomatoes, I am drooling (If you didn't know, I love food. I love trying new restaurants and new recipes). My mom and I youtubed Julia childs and that lady was hilarious. We watched her on a segment of David Letterman and she can bs her way through anything. They ended up eating raw ground beef with melted cheese on it. We were laughing so hard. I now really want to try to make a raspberry bavarian creme. Anyway that's my random thoughts. And can I just say that I love Christmas! I love Christmas lights, food, decorations, no school, the feeling of Christmas, and the focus on Christ. Thats all.

More Awkwardness...

I know, me and even more awkwardness...how could that have happened? I don't know why awkward things tend to happen to me, but oh well they keep life interesting right? So today I was in my microbiology class and I've already told you about the loud laugher right, so this story is about the same kid. I was taking notes and I got that feeling that someone was staring in my general direction so I look over and this kid is staring at my notes, which a normal quick glance would be fine, but he kept staring and staring. I finally just stared at him until he realized he was being weird and turned away. A minute later the girl sitting next to me started laughing I and I look over and he's staring at my stuff again! So I stared at him again and then he stopped ...again. Things seem to be back to normal and class was going on as boring as always when out of the corner of my eye I see him shove (this is not an exaggeration) his finger as far up his nose as possible and then moves his finger around for probably a solid minute and then wipes his finger on his pants! Sick! I wanted to puke! To top it all off we were talking about good hygiene and washing your hands a lot to avoid airborne illnesses. ha! what a strange day.
