Don't have what I need, So...
I will write a new post...
It turns out the I-Sys lab is closed at the time I need it, I don't have any head phones to listen (and not disturb others) to music or Accounting, the bio TA's haven't posted this weeks assignment, and I have nothing to do... How unfortunate... I have even already taken a nap so I am not even tired... What a coincidence~
So now I am going to catch up on my blog posting...
This week I am so excited to go home! I am going with Reed and also taking one of my roommates with me! Katie Garey from Colorado~ We don't have any extra days of school off, so it will be a quick trip/weekend of 3 days and 7 hours of driving. Luckily I have a great job and boss that is willing to help me out so I can go and leave early on Friday and get off for Saturday~ I have been really fortunate to have such a job so close to where a life aka. down the 2 flights of stairs and up .5 flights of stairs and into the office. Not only is is really close, but I am able to socialize with tenants when they come in to pay their rent, to play some bball/vball, or to express the concerns of their apartments. Although there are ups and downs, I must say there are usually more advantages there for me~ I have a great office to work in and get to be next to some wonderful people.
Tomorrow is Deseret's 11th birthday! I am pretty sure she is very very very excited! She wrote me a letter a while back for my birthday (beginning of January) telling me that her birthday was coming up and she couldn't wait! Well, I can't wait either! When I was home 2 weeks ago, we went swimming with Clay & Reed and had a blast!
I definitely love all my brothers and sisters! & Especially my bro & sister-in-law too! Yesterday I was privileged to drive Keith's car (His beautiful black little BMW) to Salt Lake to do a car swap~ Keith let Reed borrow his car and then took our Buick back to SLC with him. So because I go to Salt Lake Monday afternoons, I got to take the car for a little ride and swap them! Talk about fun to drive! But anywho, when I got there I went inside and talked to Tricia for a long time & can I just say it again... I love my sister-in-law! She is just so wonderful!
Well, as usual, I am now going to post pone the next post for a very long time and get off~ As much as I enjoy reading others' blogs, I am terrible at keeping my own up~

Time to update...
This past week has been marvelous! Sadly it will soon come to an end soon on Friday when I go back to Provo.
Today I referred to Provo as home and got questioned a bit by a good friend from Home in Chesterfield. I'll tell ya what though... no matter if I refer to home in Provo or Chesterfield or Tim-buck-to, Home is where my family is.
The past week I have been able to spend time in Chesterfield and have loved every moment of it!
Last Wednesday I went with my Dad, Reed, & Clay to Raft River to move cows. When we got over there I was happy to have three shirts, thermals, a vest, Levi's, a heavy work coat, Kroner cap, chaps, and snow boots on! It was a little chilly to say the least~ It wouldn't have been nearly as cold if the wind hadn't been blowing like it was... but like dad always says, "You have to have the bad to appreciate the good!" Although it was literally freezing cold, it was enjoyable to be out on the range with my Dad and brothers. After moving the cows over the frozen tundra, I was very grateful to be out of the wind and in the back seat of the truck. Even though the coldest place on earth (besides Chesterfield Idaho) is the back seat of a Ford, 4-door truck ;) Another one of Dad's sayings~
Thursday night the Chesterfield Ward had their annual Christmas Eve Party. Keith and Tricia arrived just in time for the party! Mom was excited to have out family performing for the entertainment of the night~ Although we might have grumbled a little (or a lot) about sharing our talents, after it was all said and done, we all enjoyed singing and playing our violin, cello, harmonica, or piano. We sang three songs: Bring a Torch Janette Isabella, A Cowboy's Christmas, & Silver Bells. The Cowboy song was definitely a hit!
Christmas was a wonderful day! I told Deseret she was not allowed to wake me up until 7, hoping she might wait until 7:30 or so. Fairly early in the morning I felt a tap on my arm. And true to her words, and also promptly at 7:02, Deseret woke me up asking me what to do because no one was awake yet! I, not half awake yet, told her to go wake up Katelyn and ask her. She soon came back asking me to go wake up Tricia and Keith... We were all up within about 10 minutes! To follow some traditions, we lined up youngest to oldest to enter into the family room so we could open gifts that Santa brought during the night ;) Mom was of course taping us as we sat on the stairs trying to wake up. It was a wonderful morning full of lots of surprises and happy smiles. Dad then made us a delicious breaky of Sausage, & french toast.
Later that afternoon and just in time for lunch, Deanna and Ryan arrived with their two adorable boys Tanner and Taylor! We haven't stopped having fun since.
We all had a wonderful time ice skating on Saturday! We went to Logan to Eccles Ice Center and had lots of fun! It was Tanner and Taylor's first time and they lasted for about 45 minutes until they were tired out~ After wards we went and got ice cream in Richfield at the yummy place they make Fat Boys at... Very yummy Ice Cream!
At Church today, Katelyn and I sung a special musical number with a few friends and for a dear friend, Chelcey Holbrook who just returned from her mission in Cincinnati Ohio. We sang I Will not Be Still. I song I had never heard, but now love. Reed spoke in another ward about his mission as well.
Later today, Keith and Tricia returned home to Salt Lake and Deanna and Ryan are most likely going home tomorrow or the next day~
The week is slowly winding down to an end, and come Saturday I will be at work and then Monday Winter Semester starts.
Well, for those of you who made it through my novel, I applaud you ;) Maybe I will add some pictures later, as for now, I'm going to sleep~ ♥♥♥
