Over the River and Through the Woods

I have meant to update this blog with some great bits of home trivia. But a lot has happened recently, and so I have been a little bitty bit preoccupied.

Right now I am in Lake Jackson (about an hour from Sugar Land) visiting with my grandparents. I'm only staying til tomorrow afternoon, but it has just occured to me that they may not know that. :/ So, after dinner I will drop the bomb... they hate it when I leave. I know it's because I'm the only link they have left of my mom. They miss her more than I do, I think. Sometimes. I miss her a lot, though.

Anyways, at least they feed me good. Grandma hasn't made any cracks about my weight yet, though I may be speaking too soon. She loves to tell me how "pudgy" I've gotten. I'll admit, I'm not a size 4 anymore, but then again, most people told me I looked too skinny to begin with. I have tried to lose some weight, to get back to my former glory days of high school. But, that hasn't gone so well.

An update to the last post- I did fine on my final exam. Surprisingly. It scared me because I really saw the finality of a final exam. There was no more room for error. You either made it or you didn't. I needed a 60 to make a 69.7 in the class, which I was assured by many people would be curved to a C. And guess what? I made EXACTLY a 60. Pretty scary. My dad isn't sure it's going to be enough. I just role my eyes at him. He can be so pessimistic sometimes. My grandpa says that it's not the grade that matters, just that you pass the class. In this case, he is exactly right. But, final grades will be posted sometime next week, so unitl then I have to sit here with my stomach full of knots, waiting for my results.

And as long as we are updating- remember my post on singleness? Well, if you couldn't tell, since I posted it, it had been on mind a lot. So Tuesday night I completely lost it. I cried more than I have ever cried before. Over a BOY. A boy that I haven't even met yet. A boy that I don't even know for sure exists!! It was a scary thing for me. But I do have such wonderful friends! Hannah, for letting me explode all over the phone. I love you Hannah-bell! And Jamie and Emily, who sat with me for over an hour pulling out scriptures and hugging me and reassuring me. We even stopped studying stat- not that that was difficult. I am now no longer an emotional wreak, but then again I haven't really talked seriously about it to anyone yet, so I don't know how I'm really feeling.

I feel like I always think about my old friends whenever I come back to Sugar Land. I wonder how they are doing and what their lives are like. I wonder if they've changed at all. I wonder if they ever think about me, when I feel like I think about them all the time. (By the way, I just typed that sentence withOUT looking at the keys!! YAY!) I miss high school sometimes. I get nostalgic for it. It was so easy. And stress free. It was one of the best times of my life, looking back on it now.

So, with that, I bid you farewell from Lake Jackson, the land of enchantment (their saying, not mine). I will be back, as a LOT is happening this coming week. Trips to the zoo, packing for school, visiting Ryan and the gang in Dallas (yay twins!). Sooooo. Yeah. Exciting.

I love you oh faithful blog reader, who rejoices with me in triumphs and cries with me in my sorrows. You know who you are. And I love you. A lot. :)
