Weekend Fun

I was so excited to have this week of school over with and to have Rachel come for the weekend. When she arrived, Rachel, my roommates, and i made delicious breadsticks and Spaghetti. After dinner we went to Angie's to "Clean the Sink." for those that don't know what that is, it is a small sink full of ice cream, 4 bananas, toppings, and a cherry on top. It was delicious! However, it was quite a mess.

MMMmmmmmm

After ice cream. Rachel and I pulled off two mattresses and laid them in the family room, and with my Roommates we played phase 10 and watched Moulin Rouge.
Saturday morning Rachel and I went to the Small mall of Logan, got some groceries, made cookies and a delicious dinner, Chicken chowder in soup bowls. Something of course went wrong with the cookies and they weren't very tasty but we had fun playing with the dough as if it were playdough.

Rachel & I (it was snowing at the time)


Our First Batch, The M began as an M for All
of my roommates(Megan & Megan) and I


Then I changed the M for mom! With A Sun because
I miss the Arizona weather =)




Rachel left Sunday morning to make it back for her brother's Birthday.
I appreciate her coming to visit. She has always been such a great friend!


And these are the beautiful flowers that Megan F and I's home teacher's brought us. It was so sweet of them!!

Time is Precious

After a small update from my Mom, I learned My grandma is most likely within the last 6 months of her life. This concept is rather interesting. I had heard of people often given an estimated time left to live. And I have been asked one of the usual questions, what would we do if we only had 1 month to live? I never really understood what this could feel like until it hit me close to home. To know that it is so close and could be any day that my grandma is not here on earth with us is such a sad feeling. 6 months is really not very long when you are on your own distracted with life to make time swiftly fly by. 6 months is not very long when you have no car to be able to go visit Grandma. But when i think of Grandma, 6 months to her, may be too long... she doesn't know anyone that comes to visit her or how to eat her food. As heart wrenching as it is, I am happy for her at the same time. When the time comes that Heavenly Father takes her in his arms, she will be so much happier, where she can know and watch her loved ones from above. Time is so precious! I hold my yellow and Pink Teddy Bear that I always played with at her house and she finally gave to me when i was little. That bear will always be one of my most special things. I Love her very much and hope to see her soon.
