Since this past Friday, I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off but what else is new? Friday I officially moved out of the Castle House and it was bittersweet. I love the Castle House, and my roommates have been absolutely AWESOME! I could not have asked for better roommates for the past school year.
I've been in Salt Lake visiting with family and enjoying my the time I have been able to spend with them. I found out Saturday that the fan on my laptop has bitten the dust. I usually wouldn't care, but I am taking 2 online classes this summer, and a computer is necessary for me to graduate in December. So, today I went to Best Buy and bought a netbook. So far so good. The only downside is that I keep remembering what programs I need to download before I take off in the morning. It is also taking me a bit longer to type because I am soo not use to a much smaller keyboard, but I am happy that I was able to get everything together prior to leaving.
This morning I awoke to a call from PB. Man, I love that woman. She values honesty and is not afraid to hear an opinion. I love it!! I know quite a few people who don't care for her, but that's their problem. She has always treated me with respect and has never once belittled me. I have valued my past 3 1/2 years working for her. I have enjoyed working with her. She constantly amazes me.
It seems lately that just about everyday I am reminded of how grateful I am for my parents. They taught me right from wrong and raised me in the Gospel. They have been patient and loving when I make poor decisions and trust me those happen more often than not. I can proudly say that at my age (which I will not mention my exact age) that I have a very good relationship with both my parents. They are my dearest friends, and yet they do not forget that at the end of the day I am their baby girl. The one that wasn't suppose to make it due to a rare genetic lung defect. My parents help keep me not only sane but grounded as well.
Later this afternoon, I was reminded at how lucky I am to have the sister that I have. I know that she is not perfect....shoot I am definitely not even close to being perfect. Sunshine is a good kid. Yes, I will most certainly worry about her while I am in India (that is what big sisters do!). I am soo happy that she is not mixed up in stuff that I see others her age do. The Lord could not have blessed me with a better sister.
I was able to speak to two of my three brothers. They gave me their over protective brotherly advice. I will say that it warmed my heart. Both of these brothers are married and have families of their own to worry about, but they take the time to call their sister to warn about all the dangers that lurk aboard. I have three of the best brothers in world.
So, I think that I am packed. I might repack a bag or so. I am afraid that one might be a little over the weight limit. I hate weight limits when it comes to packing for overseas trips. I am worried that the one bag will be over weight so instead of weighing it, I am writing this blog per my good friend's request. :)
I really hope that I haven't forgotten anything. I'm sure that I have knowing me. Don't worry I will keep you updated as I travel tomorrow via Facebook.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this endeavor.
