So can I go back to school and see my friends and live in my lovely apartment but not have to go to class or take finals?  Pretty please?  Oh well, only 2.5 weeks till I get to go home again!  It’s hard to have been home for so long, get into a routine and keep thinking “oh there will be plenty of time to get to (fill in the blank)”, but really, there will be time to do everything over Christmas Break. 

I just saw Rent.  The music was absolutely AMAZING!  I will see more movies over Christmas Break, especially since there is an amazingly HUGE theater that just opened like 15 minutes from my house.  There is also a neato scrapbook store at the same place that I will have to check out over Christmas Break!  AND, the best news EVER, AN H&M IS MOVING INTO THIS SHOPPING THINGIE!!!  WOO HOO MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!  Now, if i could convince them to build IKEA!!

I cooked thanksgiving dinner today, the WHOLE SHE-BANG!!!  It turned out quite nicely and I’m glad to announce that I am “marryable” now.  Spread the word.  PRINCE WILLIAM, I know how to cook a whole Thanksgiving dinner, we can now be married (don’t tell Kate Middleton). 

more to come, now I am distracted!

LOVE!

The transplant was/is a complete success!  The kidney is actually working better in mom than it did in Uncle Bruce, if you can believe that.   Man, I’m so amazed and so very thankful!!  U. Bruce was released from the hospital yesterday morning and they released mom this afternoon.  I was planning on going back to school today, but since mom got out so early, I felt I needed to stay to take care of her…just counting all the medicines is crazy enough!  It’s so hard to fathom this gift of grace and sacrifice, I actually burst into tears when I was writing an “update” e-mail to all of our family friends, it’s just so emotional. 
Okay I’m going to go study, then head for bed…I’ve had a migraine all day

Thanks for your kind notes and all your amazing prayers!!

LOVE!

The transplant was cancelled for this morning and moved to tomorrow morning.  I don’t know the specific times, but U. Bruce will go in about 7:30 to start his and mom will probably go in at about 9:30ish! 
I’m so excited!  I won’t let myself be scared! 
Okay I need to go to bed if I’m gonna leave this house by 6:15 tomorrow morning!! 

LOVE!

Ground Rules: The 1st player of this “game” starts with the topic “5 weird habits/facts of yourself” and people who get tagged need to write a xanga entry about their 5 weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “You are tagged” in their xanga and tell them to read yours.

1. I like soda best when the can is refridgerated and then poured over ice, I’m telling you it’s tastes BETTER!!

2. I’m petrified of going up the stairs at my house when I’m the last one to bed and I have to turn all the lights out. I always picture a creepy guy reaching through the spindles and grabbing my ankle

3. I bite the insides of my cheek when I’m nervous or bored..it’s gross i know, please don’t think less of me!

4. I believe that every letter has a sex, for example A is a girl, B is a girl, C is a boy…I don’t know why! Numbers have a sex too! 

5. Sometimes I pray out loud with my mouth full, especially on my way to school every morning. I hope God doesn’t mind, I’m pretty sure He doesn’t, but yeah.

I tag Cecilia, Amanda, Reb, Katie and Phillips!!

LOVE!

ps I can breath through my nose! Praise Jesus! It has been like 2 weeks since I could last say that. This skill also allows me to taste food…wahoooo!!

Feeling better!
Just got off the phone with an old friend. Old friends are good. I’m sad that growing up hasn’t been that great for all of us though. It’s hard to know what to say when people you know and loved are faced with sticky, complicated adult situations. What happened to the good, happy kids I used to hang out with? I barely know these people anymore, but still I grasp at that laugh we shared, or to that tiny spark of a person that they used to be, the person I knew so well that is still there if you look hard enough!
Enough philosophizin (perchance a new word i just made up)

3 days till the transplant!!!!!

LOVE!

Update: Still sick, but I got an antibiotic shot early this afternoon and it’s GLORIOUSLY working wonders already…I’m like 5 steps up from the miserable I was feeling just this morning. Even though that shot hurt like a “MAMMA JAMMA”, I will do that from now on…none of this taking pills for 7 days crap…shoot! I just said “crap-shoot” haha.
In other news, WELCOME BABY ALEXANDER! My precious cousin, Annie and her crazy hubby, Lyle, had a baby girl today. She is yet to be named, but I cannot wait to meet her! Praise the Lord!!
Pray that I do well on this anatomy test pretty please!

LOVE!

Still sick, I guess the bronchitis was a particularly nasty strain. I’ve been sick for almost a month. Pity party….table for one please
I should be studying for my anatomy exam right now. Taking tests when you are sick, in my experience, does not result in earth-shattering grades. Oh well, I’ll do my best. Next week at this time I’ll be home! Hopefully I’ll catch up on sleep while I’m there.
Please pray that I get better before I go home, mom can’t afford to be around a sickie like me right before, during and after the transplant!

LOVE!

Off to bed!

LOVE!
