Against the Rules

So my sister Kaitlin has been serving a mission in the Richmond Virginia Mission since the end of May. When she got that call neither of us were excited about it being so close to where I am living now, and Kaitlin informed me that she did not want to see me while she was out here. I was willing to stay out of the places she was surving in just to keep her happy with me... but the she was sent to Richmond, which is only about an hour and a half from where I live!! Rebekah decided to embrace her inner devil and made plans for the next day John and I had off together, to go and drop cookies off at my sisters apartment. I had no intentions on seeing her, I knew that if she saw me she would hate me for the rest of forever, not really but in my mind thats what I was thinking, but I couldn't pass up going and dropping off the cookies. When we got there we noticed that there was a missionary car out side the apartment. So Rebekah when up with the cookies and decided to knock and while she was debating whether or not she should just leave the cookies or wait my sister' companion answered the door.
When Kait came to the door the first thing out of her mouth wasn't Hi Rebekah how are you I haven't seen you in forever, or any thing like that... It was "Is my sister in the car?"
Well that got me very worried about her being mad at me, but when Rebekah came back they didn't close the door, they weren't coming out, but they kept it open so that if we were to drive off she would have seen me, so I just got out of the van and went to see my sister.
We had a nice short visit, we were lucky that we were able to go on her preparation day so that we did have the chance of seeing her. I really loved being able to see her especially since I wont see her again until next Christmas.

To Long

SO it has been almost three weeks since I last updated my blog, and that is just way to long of a time to go in between posts, not that people read this, it is still to long.

So for starters I absolutely loved my Media fast, I thought it would be really hard for me to go that long without getting on the internet but it wasn't hard, and I was able to fill my time with something I enjoyed a lot more... Reading. I ended up ending it a day early though to do some events that happened at home that I was pretty worried about and needed to know what was going on, but aside from that the week was great and I strongly recommend it to everyone who might be interested in trying it out.

Next Puzzles, at work there are a couple of residents that do puzzles all day long, I enjoy going up and talking to them and watching as their pile of pieces turns into a beautiful picture, so I decided that I was going to start my own puzzle. I have always enjoyed doing puzzles, and the older I get the better at them I become. So the family I live with had a 1000 piece puzzle of a light house that I decided to do and for the past week or so I have been working on that, it is slow going but I am making progress, I am half way done. The only down side is that my room is being taken over by puzzle pieces that I have sorted out and are just waiting for me to find them a place to go in the puzzle.

On a happy note, not that this has been a sad blog, I only have 7 weeks, or 35 days left of work at the Caton Merchant House! I have loved my job over the past 5 and a half months, I love the people I have been able to get to know but I will be honest with you, I am ready for something else... I am tired of cleaning for a living and things at work just keep saying you don't want to do this for the rest of your life, and so I am looking forward to not cleaning anymore... but not looking forward to job hunting again.

Concerning November, I have decided that I am dedicating the month of November to Disney! When my dad comes out to get me and help me drive Henry back to California we are going to make a very large detour and go to Disney World where my mom will also join us, and we will be spending three days enjoying it. Also my family has sort of started an unofficial tradition, because I don't know how long this will last, but it is spending Thanksgiving day at Disneyland. Now this makes my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, even better because we spend the day at Disneyland, then we celebrate Thanksgiving the next day, so while everyone else is eating left overs we are getting the whole meal fresh, and a trip to Disneyland, which makes life absolutely amazing.
