"Good Morning, Good Morning!"

(this should say 10:41)


This morning has been a wonderful, very relaxing morning. Let me first tell you about yesterday morning. My alarm went off at 6 am and I was half awake and pretty groggy. I didn't have to be to work until 8 so I set my alarm for 7 and went back to bed. The next thing I knew Catherine's Alarm was going off and I looked at my clock. 8:05! I jumped out of bed got dressed as fast as I could and ran out the door. I didn't brush my hair or wipe the remnants of last night's mascara off from under my eyes. As I drove through the school's parking lot I knew I was missing something. There were NO cars in the parking lot and usually I have to drive all the way to the back to find a space. I thought to myself, "This is really weird. It's 8:15 on a Friday morning. I KNOW there's supposed to be classes. Is it a holiday?"
It was then that I looked down at my phone and saw the true time. 7:15! In my half awake, half asleep state I had reset my clock. Not the alarm. I was pretty annoyed and went home to pout.

I am not the happiest girl when I wake up. My sister's all knew it was death to anyone who tried to wake me before I wanted to get up. I distinctly remember threatening physical harm and death to those who would come in and turn on the light, tickle my feet, or steal my blanket. I still feel bad for the shoe that almost hit Rachel's head the morning she came in singing a song that frequented our house in the mornings, "It's time to get up! It's time to get up! It's time to get up in the morning!" (the tune is to I think some army morning bugle song my dad heard) My daddy used to recite this poem to me when I'd show my face in the morning and before he could get half way through it I would protest until he stopped. It goes like this:

Good morning Sally Sunshine,
Why'd you wake so soon?
You woke up all the flowers
and scared away the moon.

It's not a rude or bad poem at all but there were just those days I didn't want to be spoken to for at least 30 minutes after I emerged from my room and my dad would hear about it.

Last night I turned off my alarm and talked to Cat until 2 AM! She and I both took naps during the day and were wide awake. I finally fell asleep and woke up around 9 this morning feeling pretty good. Catherine was still asleep and I laid in bed until I was awake and pleasant. I spent the morning doing whatever I pleased and it was SO nice. I still have things I should have gotten done but this morning was a very nice change from the hectic mad dash out the door I go through every day of the week. I am really excited for the day too! Cameron and I are going kayaking today. I have never been but I LOVE cannoing, rafting, swimming, and Cameron so this should be a blast. I was supposed to be over at his house 10 minutes ago so I have to now make the ritual mad dash for the door. Happy Saturday!!!!


Oh. on a side note the funniest thing happened to me this morning. I was laying in bed and got a text message from non other then MY BISHOP! ha Well I thought it was funny.

Wow, This semester has flown by! I think it's because my mind has been occupied with so many thoughts. This semester I have had lots of things to think about and lots of great things happen. I really have nothing to complain about. I have been having the time of My life with Catherine, Cameron and Sarah! I think I've mentioned on previous blogs that my camera is no more so I've posted the two pictures I've taken with phones.

The one above was taken at a restaurant in Rexburg called Hard Hat. Cameron was trying to get me to put the hat he is wearing on my head but I was too worried about who's heads it had been on. So, he put the hard hat on his head instead.
For those of you who are wondering, Cameron is my boyfriend and the most amazing man. I know, I know, I am surprising even myself because I try really hard not to blog about men in my life. However, I think that this one is definitely worthy of mention. With that said let me tell you about the picture below.

The picture has a pretty cute story behind it. One day last month I was walking to my car after a very long day of work, algebra, and anatomy. I was ready to get in my car, go home, and take a nap. As I walked up to my car I found the longest long stemmed rose I had seen in my life (it went up to my thigh!!!) on my windshield from my "secret admirer". It smelled amazing and of course I knew exactly who it was from. It made my day and I wasn't tired or worn out any more! That rose is one of the many adorable things the man pictured above does for me. He really is such a sweetheart and has made this semester ten times better then it would have been with out him.


For memorial day weekend he and I went down to Utah and had so much fun visiting with our families and friends. I pretty much fell in love with his sweet grandparents. It brought me back to my days in Provo with my clients at aspen senior care. Cam's grandpa won me over by acting like I was one of the cutest people he had seen. What girl wouldn't love that? I really enjoyed spending time talking with him about his life on the farm, how he met his wife, and how he was lucky to be alive after a kamikaze in the war. (I don't remember which war it was) His grandma was also a doll as she took us around the house and showed us all of the amazing pictures she had painted. I was a little nervous that he would be scared off after seeing how I smother Eldon and can be pretty obnoxious around my fam, but he still talks to me so I think thats a good sign! (I did tone the obnoxiousness down a little)

To my Secret Admirer: Thanks for all you do for me! I am very grateful for you. Oh and don't tell anyone but I have a little bit of a crush on you!
