I love November. It's gone by fast, but it has been such a tough and inspirational month. Today has been a crazy, wild day. Especially my week! So I'll give you a small update, since I don't have pictures I'll just explain with words.

Monday - I had to work, and didn't go to FHE. Caught up on chilax time.
Tuesday - I went to school, got last minute put-together's for projects and tests and notes and such. Came home, and vegged, did homework, and went to hot chocolate Tuesday with Jenna and Josh. It was such a fun time! After that, Austin and Nick wanted to hangout, and so we headed over to Nick's house where we met up with the guys and hungout and watched Hitch. It was such a blast! Didn't get home 'till late into the night! Hehehe!
Wednesday - I had work off, so I woke up and got ready for the day, went to Institute where I had like, the BEST lesson from Brother Hatch, EVER. Then Abby, my mommy, and baby all headed to the doctors for my yearly check up. Just in case you were wondering, I've been getting a lot more headaches and pulsing pain in my neck, and we haven't had an MRI for my cyst since 2009, so he wants me to head to the headache department, and they'll want a scan of my brain, and since they're doing that my doctor wants a scan of my whole head and neck but the radiology department is booked like a month out so we have to wait :/ Kinda scary, but nothing I haven't experienced before. After that it was straight home to finish taking care of baby, homework and chilling some more.
Thursday - Happy Thanksgiving!! :) I woke up, straightened my hair, and headed over to the church to have lunch with my mom's side of the family. It's so fun with them because the family is so big, all my cousins are about the same age, and we're all just so close even though we don't get together very often! :) I absolutely love it! We had great food, laughter, stories, pie, and cookies :) After which, I hung out at home and watched One Tree Hill (cause I'm obsessed). I didn't go BF shopping because I had work early the next day.
Friday - I worked all day, and then came home and did some homework, and then I went and hungout with Jenna and Rachel! :)
Saturday - I worked and then went home, finished up MORE homework (have I said that word enough yet??) then I got together with Rachel and then we headed to Jenna's house where we then left to Provo to go Country Swing dancing again!!! It was soooo fun :) So much better than last Saturday! I felt I knew the moves better. I met so many awesome dancers and just had fun learning tricks and dances, and line dances, laughing, giggling and dying to breathe. I can't wait to go again! Hehehehe

And here I am Sunday, I slept in, curled my hair, and went to Church! :) It was good. The Sacrament talks were fabulous and I went with my hip friends Abby and Jenna! :) I even met with bishop for a new service project I have to do before Christmas! We're putting together stockings for missionaries in the Salt Lake City south mission!!! A grand total of 200 missionaries!! It's going to be great though :) Then I came home, cleaned the kitchen, started on homework and then Jenna came over to do homework with me and we're still doing homework :) lol

It's been a good, long week, and I'm glad it's over. This week is hump week! That hard "memory" days are overwith, and all I can think about is Friday and how I get to start counting down to Brady's homecoming!!!!! :) So stoked! ALSO, 2 more weeks of school and then finals, and I'm done until January!! Then I'll be going Spring, Summer AND fall, graduate and by then, Brady Babe will be home!!!! :) Woohoo!! Happy Happy Girl!!!

Have a good week!
