A lot has happened since I last wrote. I finished up the summer semester. It was a rough semester for me. It definitely wasn’t the summer semester I was hoping for, but I still managed to enjoy some summer activities:
· Extended family reunion at the ranch
· Completed my final assessment paper(if you have heard anything about these papers you will know it was a very exciting moment to finally be done)
· Family gatherings at Disneyland, Seaworld, and home
· Shared a room with my cute nieces. I learned they have nighttares once the bed started shaking and I woke to their screaming. They didn’t remember it in the morning though.
· Moved to a new apartment
· Attended the Shakespearean Festival
· Saw the new Harry Potter and Gifted Hands both of which were excellent movies
· Finished reading the Fablehaven series
· Chopped over a foot of my hair and donated it
· Had a fun fashion show with Katherine orchestrated by my cousin Emily
· Had a bachelorette party for my roommate before her wedding
· Attended my cousins baptism
· Celebrated my grandpa’s 88th birthday
· Completed my first curriculum vitae
· Attended the Abbott Dinner Conference for work
· Saw our childhood family friends visiting from Hawaii
· Attended my grandpa’s brothers funeral at cedar breaks and participated in spreading the ashes
· Heard the full story of how my grandpa lost the tips of his fingers and saw my grandparents laugh so hard they were crying
· Attended my new ward
· Attended an organ concert and got to go inside the organ at the cathedral of the Madeline
· Had the most amazing enchiladas (honey lime)and yummy dinner provided by my two cute cousins
I believe that pretty much sums up the events. I have enjoyed my break before school starts to get things done and enjoy time with family and friends. I have one more week until school starts. Oh also, I spent about $500 on textbooks. I better learn a lot from them. Oh I had an a clumsy moment this week. My brother-in-law asked me to grab a can of root beer for him. Unfortunately with the phone at my ear, rootbeer in hand and trying to close the closet door the root beer escaped my fingers. The root beer crashed down to the tile floor and exploded like you can’t even imagine. Not only was the floor was covered but the walls and ceiling. The root beer sprayed out the front door, all over my grandma’s newly washed table cloth, and into the living room. So what might have been a small mess in the entryway covered the dining room, and living room as well.
Oh one other unexpected event was my carried with my sister. What should have been about an hour long drive turned out to be parking lot of freeway for over 2 hours perhaps even 3. What was so strange was that the traffic was in the middle of the night. We left at 11pm and made it home at 2 am. We were both so tired, but it was definitely memorable.
