For FHE before spring break we borrowed a projector and rockband and set it up in our apt and played. I'm pretty sure that is one of the most fun FHE's we've had yet.. plus my roommates and I were lucky to make good use of the projector watching movies before we returned it the next day.
Spring Break started off well. Friday night Brittany came to Logan to visit and hang out with me! we talked most of the night then watched Dan in Real Life. Saturday we made breakfast did a little shopping, ate at cafe rio then drove to her Grandparents in Preston Idaho, visited and stayed the night. Once Brittany left I was left alone with the apt to myself for a couple of days. I was looking forward to this because every once in a while I enjoy getting time to myself to do whatever, listen to whatever, and take my time. On Monday a lot was accomplished. Since it snowed All Day Long I slept in, cleaned and organized the apartment, took time getting ready, and applied for a couple of jobs online. I also got to chat with someone I hadn't talked to in what seemed like forever. Tuesday wasn't as productive but I did a little grocery shopping, made scones and fruit salad, and did a little more jobs applications. As each day got less busy, by wednesday night, I was thrilled to go to South Jordan. The first night I stayed at Roberts house. It was so much for to see them and the kids again! I hung out at their house until friday evening when brittany picked me up and we went to Keith's(Brittany's boyfriend) basketball game. I slept at her house and cory picked me up bright and early to go meet my family at IHOP for Breakfast. I got to see Mom and Dad again which was of course good.
After breakfast we went to visit Grandma Sharp. This went so much better than I had expected. Grandma who has alzheimer's disease, was receptive to us being there. She smiled more than I've seen her smile in the last year. When we pointed her to Grandpa she almost acted like she really knew who it was. She put her arms out to give him a hug. In a conversation between us all she also mentioned something like grandpa and her always being together. and would say they needed to get going. It was so cute and made me happy to hear since she usually would just sit really still like she was drugged and look at us all like we were strangers. This time it was like she knew somewhat who we were. I also thought it was cool when I showed Grandma a picture of my yellow and pink bear she gave me. I asked her if she remembered that bear and she said yes and reacted in a way I could tell she did remember it. Makes that little bear even more special to me. We all think she looked so much better possibly because she was on less medications. my mom also mentioned that someone with alzheimer's disease may get better near the end. (since she is in her last 6 months) either way I was so happy to be able to see Grandma especially to see her the way she was!
After Grandma's visit. Cory and I headed to his place. We did a little shopping on the way. At his house Teresa came over, we hung out, ate dinner and watched Fast and furious,tokyo drift.
cory and I met up with Mom and dad to go to church in our old home ward parkway 8th. I love going back to visit and seeing everyone from my little kid days.
Well now i'm back in Logan and school. I really enjoyed the break but its good to be back with home with my roommates!
