Thursday February 13th was..a long day. One case after another and no time to eat. I ran out of there hoping to get to the fitness center in time before it closed for the day which ment running on an empty stomach. 45 minutes later I was on famished Fiona! Still having groceries to pick up, I made the 5 minute trek to Walmart. While there I got a kick out of watching all the men crowd in the card isles agonizing over which cards to get, and then awkwardly get in line. it was hilarious and adorable at the same time:) So I text Jenna about my Walmart entertainment only to get a response that ends in " dont eat diner tonight. im serious"
Don't eat dinner!? At first I thought this was some cruel fat joke haha so I drove home, with my stomach grumbling the entire way. Once home I questioned Christa about these odd orders I had received! And then... a pizza man showed up at our door!:) One pepperoni pizza from Pizza Ranch specially ordered for the 2 of us with a pepperoni message that read "I Love You" from Erika and Jenna. From one set of college roomies to the next. we loved it!!! It was the perfect surprise:) AND THEN to add to my surprises I had a box waiting for me on the table. I eagerly opened it to find a box full of valentines goodies from Teresa, including a Chocolate man:) hahaha greatest valentine I have ever received. You rock Teres!:)
Friday Feb 14th. I slept in. did 4 loads of laundry. cleaned and organized my room from top to bottom. packed my over night bags and headed to Lester for a home sing at the Assisted Living in Hills, Minnesota. And then.... after the singing, Nicky, Lanna, Lachelle, Kari, Lynelle and I headed to Hu Hot Mongolian Grill for a Valentines girls night out:) I had never been there so not only was I stoked to be with these lovely ladies but I was finally getting to try THE Hu hot that every one raves about:) Let me tell you... it exceeded my expectations! My eyes were bigger than my stomach and I walked out of there with the fullest belly Id ever had but it was completely worth it:)
Feb 15th dawned a snowy day. Anyone wanting to go to Tremont for the wknd was to meet at Sharis at 7. And you can best bet I was there!:) Taking my vehicle and the Meyers Suburban we set off caravan style and 8 hrs later we arrived in Tremont:) This was another first for me! ( so many firsts!) That evening was a supper and singing in the FH. After dessert was over I took off for Eureka for a surprise overnighter at Ev and Ems:) Not only was I stoked to see them, but my beautiful Brielle as well:) The little stinker is growing like a weed! 5 teeth total now and taking steps!?!? Where has time gone?? Needless to say Auntie Tress got a lot of loving time with Breezy:) Another thing to LOVE was the official announcement of baby #3 in the Mark Sinn Family! Lord willing I will be an auntie again in September thanks to Ev and Em!;)
Sunday I spent the morning in Eureka and then at noon I left for Tremont to spend the afternoon service there. Seriously..the most beautiful AC church ive ever been in! Its so homey, warm and welcoming I loved it! Silverton... I see redecorating in our future...
We spent no time lollygagging after church as we had 8 hrs ahead of us. Thankfully the snow had stopped and we had clear roads the entire way:) It was such a wonderful weekend and im so thankful for the opportunity to travel the miles to visit brethren of like mind and like faith. we are so blessed:)
This week has been a relatively relaxed one with only 1 test and 1 quiz down and 2 more to go. Clinicals today were slow and manageable( which I am thankful for :) ) I do enjoy the busy days don't get me wrong but theres something nice about being home by 2 and having the entire afternoon and evening for homework and procrastinating;)
* oh and another perk to my week was receiving another valentines day box, this time from my parents!:) The eagerness to move home and be back with my family is building by the minute! 24 days till spring break but whose counting...? :)
