I'm back!!!!!

My week without the computer is up! YES!!

The missionary week started out well. I would get up early, do my "spiritual" stuff and everything was going pretty smooth. It was hard to constantly see the computer and not be able to do anything on it. A few days into the week I got sick and so I pretty much dashed all the "missionary rules" except the computer one. But everyone kept asking me questions about the computer, to fix problems and how-to stuff (you'd think I was some computer genius with all the problems and questions I get) and it was SO hard to not be able to get on it and fix them. I'm a hands-on person and sometimes people can be SO slow when I give them instructions that several times I thought I would just DIE. But I didn't (as you can see). And then one day there was something that I had to do ON the computer for Alex, or at least, to send to her. So I decided that I would not get on the internet all week (except this one time to try and fix a problem). And that went pretty well as well. And so my week is up!! And I survived!! I feel like I held my breath for a week and just let it out. I LOVE the computer!! It's great to be back!! But really, it wasn't THAT bad.

Oh, also, about my wisdom teeth. I got an infection two weeks ago. It started hurting on a Sunday and I just thought it was stiffness. The next day I went to Singles Ward FHE and came home early because it hurt so bad. When I got home I was swollen huge. We went to the doctor the next day and, for sure, it was an infection. He had to open it and flush it and I almost passed out!!! It hurt so bad!!! He didn't even flush it a second time with water because I was in so much pain. So I got more pain meds and antibiotics for the infection. I had to keep the wound open so it would heal inside. A painful process but its all healed now and I'm better!!

And I think that's it!! It's good to be back!!!

Signing off (for a week)

I'm going to take a week off from the computer. (gasp! NOOOOO!) I don't know if I'll be able to make it or if I will just pass out from the struggle but I'm going to try. It's for this missionary challenge thing a friend did for seminary minus a few things (to find out more, click here). It's going to be kinda hard but so worth it. Wish me luck and I will be back in a week to report (if I'm still conscious, that is).

The weeds always look bigger
on the other side of the fence

All the time I weeded today the chickens kept sticking their head through the fence. So funny because there aren't any weeds next to the fence but they would do it anyway. So we decided to give them a reason to actually do it.

Last Girl's Camp

So, July 8-11 was Girl's Camp. It was my last year. :( But it was GREAT!!! It was such a care-free, relaxing time!! I loved every minute of it! We did so many fun things. We did crafts, skits, sang camp songs, talked, and laughed.
We went to Beaver Mountain and stayed in the yurt. All the leaders and girls in the yurt was quite an experience. The last night there was constant laughing for probably an hour. We just couldn't stop.
We also went on a 5 mile hike. It was BEAUTIFUL!! But kinda painful because I had a bruise under my toenail and got a blister the size of a quarter. But the view at the end was worth it.

Such fun, such great memories.

...heard this?

Have you ever heard the song "Any Day Now" from "Fiddler on the Roof"? It was what Perchick was going to sing to Hodel after he proposed to her. Originally it was going to be "Now I have Everything" but that was taken out and replaced with "Any Day Now." It was recorded but taken out of the show before it was filmed. I just love this song!!!

Enjoy!!!

Wisdom Teeth update

So, its been a week since I've had my wisdom teeth out and what a week! The week was full of nauseousness, pain meds, a swollen face, soft food, a stiff jaw, sleep and movies.
Just a little info - all four (4) of my wisdom teeth were impacted!!! Talk about "ouch." But I'm off the pain meds!! My jaw is just a little stiff and can open it about... hmm... maybe 1/2 an inch.

But I'm almost not swollen!!! HOORAY!!!!

Wisdom Teeth

So... I'm going to get my (4) wisdom teeth out tomorrow. I'm SOOOO SCARED!!!!! The doctor, because I'm... older and because I have all four, didn't spare me any info on what could go wrong. And my siblings that have already had them out have had pretty bad times so I'm not looking forward to it. But the good things is that, since I went to girls camp last week and didn't get alot of sleep, I will be able to sleep - ALOT!!! And I get to watch ATON of movies.

I just wanted to tell y'all - I'M SUPER NERVOUS!!!
That's all.
