What has been going on? hmmm...

my adventures from when Lauren drove down here from Ohio and when i went up to Idaho to see Rebecca will be posted in time. until then...
what has been happening in my life lately? well...
i sent Elder Hagler his package almost a month ago :) he should be getting it within the next couple of weeks, i think. well, that's the goal.
i absolutely love Wednesday night institute! i always learn so much and know that if i can't apply it in my life right now, it will be applicable in the future. Brother G is an amazing teacher!
i have been in alignment for the 3rd week in a row! i only have to see him every other week now, as far as i know. that saves me SO much money and i love how much better my back feels! i'm all about fixing the problem and not just cover the symptoms. i love my back being popped, but he hasn't popped me once! it's like magic. lol. i am so thankful for how well my body is healing. and he refers to me as a ninja ever since the first day we met and i mentioned it to him. hehe. he's pretty awesome.
i love making chocolate chip cookies :)
KT and i watched Alice. it's a scifi for Alice in Wonderland. yeah, we're nerds. yeah, we love it. hehe.
i registered for my spring 2010 semester! i'm taking a natural disasters class, doctrines of the gospel, chinese, this problem solving class, and propaganda in the world class. i'm super excited to get back to school! not so excited for the work load, but it comes with going back up there i suppose. lol
Sammi and i have been kinda working out every weekday morning. Joy sometimes gets on me and makes things a little more heavy whether it's pushups or situps or something. haha. it's fun though.
Matty is looking for a job right now and i'm crossing my fingers for him! i love that kid and he really needs to get out of that house...lol
i go to the Geddies every Tuesday night to put my two cents of help in. this week i made sure that the girls practiced piano, the table was cleared and dishes set up to wash, and i even went over on Wednesday to help Katelyn finish studying for her history test. last week i helped them sort the basket of socks. that was quite the adventure. haha. but once i made it into a game, the girls seemed to like it a little more. we finished in less than 45mins! woohoo!
i miss my isabella like crazy.
i was also missing someone else on and off this past week. i don't know why. calling this person is harder than it used to be b/c of this whole timezone thingy.
i got girl scout cookies! haven't eaten them yet, but that's besides the point. lol
my sign language is expanding by so much! i love it!
i might be getting my wisdom teeth out within the next week or two or three! i'm terrified. i've never had surgery and i'm not a big fan of drugs so that should be interesting...
i realized that i am flattered but am not a big fan of people saying, "what would/will we do without kris around?" it makes me want to stay longer to help. i was so close to stay in rexburg a couple of weekends ago and i was tempted to not leave here for a couple of other people. all i want to do is help! i enjoy making people's lives a little bit easier. you know? it makes my heart smile :)
my friend and i were becoming closer again after a little bit of a rough patch with his girlfriend, but we had a "determine the friendship" thingy tonight. i didn't want to ask b/c i didn't want to be told the answer that i already knew. i rambled until i had almost nothing to talk about just so i didn't have to ask. but the question finally came and his answer was what i expected. he didn't know where our friendship stood. i told him the ball was in his court and he/his gf (since she seems to be in control these days) had to make the decision. i needed an answer. i couldn't be put in that washing machine of friends-and-then-not-and-then-friends again. it kinda hurts and is confusing. he said that it's a no-go. then we walked away fast and without any words to follow. i yelled out that saying goodbye would be polite. he yelled back 'goodbye coward (something or another)'. coward? i eventually got the question out; i wasn't the one that ran away faster than a child for candy, without looking back. it's okay. it has happened quite a bit with people in my life over the past 6 months or so. i can deal.
KT and i should be looking for jeans this weekend and i need to go through my stuff to take and not take to college with me.
oh!! i found a ride up Rexburg, thank heaven! it's with Brita. i kinda know her from singles ward last summer. she's fun and really nice.
Shelly and the kids and i bought a bunch of different plants and trees and planted them last week! i've never realized how much fun that is :)
i have to go to bed now so that tomorrow can be another wonderful day!
i hope you have the happiest of dreams!
