Open House Was A Success

Well, I'm still truckin' along. The week is finally over, so hopefully my mom will be less stressed out all the time. :P Trevin and Kalisha's open house went well, though. It was really nice, and we had a good turnout. The only thing left to take care of (as far as I'm concerned) is leftovers. But hey, food is great, so it's all good, right?

I went to a YSA (Young Single Adult) fireside today - the first one I've officially been to, since I don't really count BYU stuff. It was pretty good. Bishop Hopewell talked about recognizing the spirit, and he told us about some of his own experiences. I liked it. Then Rachel H. and I had a nice chat in the car before I actually went in my house. I really enjoyed that. It was really meaningful, to me. Plus it was just nice to talk for a while.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day, which will be fun. On Saturday, I'm babysitting for the McKneely's, which will also be fun. I used to babysit for them before I left for college, so I'm looking forward to it. Their kids are so cute... :) One of their kids, Sam, was still being carried around in a carseat last I remembered him. Now he's walking and talking, apparently. And they have another baby, who I met for the first time today. Aw... yeah, good times. As for the rest of the week, I'll just find out what it holds in store for me.

Home For Summer

Well, the past few weeks have been awesome. I love being home. It was especially fun when Trevin was home with me, and we got to just stay home and have fun while Cody and Chanelle went off to school, when I wasn't working. Seriously, the new school schedule around here sucks compared to what it used to be... I'm just glad I got out of it just in time! :) So lately, all I've been up to is playing Gamecube, Paper Mario when alone and Tales of Symphonia with Cody and Chanelle, and working. It's great. I don't have to worry about all these other things, I just work and play. I still haven't gotten together with any of my friends, but I most definitely plan to, and I'm looking forward to it very much.

Trevin left to go back to Utah a little while back... on the 9th? Maybe. I didn't really mind, either - I knew I'd be seeing him in a week, and I'll get to see him when I go back up to BYU next semester (plus, I have a couple classes with him there). So I wasn't that broken up that he'd be leaving. But I have to say, when he left, and I was left home alone while Mom and Dad took him to the airport, things just felt so much more empty. I do miss him, even though I'll get to see him plenty once school starts. It was so much fun to have him here.

We then left on Wednesday to go to his wedding in Utah. That makes three out of the six of us kids that are now married. Very, very weird. So supposedly I'm next. Yeah... I just can't see myself getting married anytime soon. I know it could happen, but don't get your hopes up. Anyway, this week has been a tiring one. Lots of things happening. And now that we're home, we get to worry about having Trevin and Kalisha's open house on Saturday - basically, when I'm home I get to help Mom so that she doesn't completely lose her sanity. But after that's over, then I'll be able to go back to the whole work and play routine. :) Time to buckle down and get through the week!
