New Roommate!!


Our two roommates "JJ Adventures" moved to another apartment so that our friend Kylee (who was living by herself) could move in with us. I can't tell you how HAPPY we are!!

rebellious behavior

One of the first nights being back we decided to double pierce one of our ears. We iced our ears, sterilized the needle, and through the ear it went.  Except for of course mine didn't work the first time so I basically had to do it twice. Ouch.. Lets just say it didn't feel too good. After a couple of days I took it out. I wasn't too big of a fan and i probably will never do it again, even though it was quite funny at the time. 

Me being the baby I am.. I had to have my "silkie" with me
tada!!




Cupcake Disaster..

Caitlyn and I attempted to make cupcakes.. don't they look yummy?

Park City/ Karli's Cabin

Walking main street.. I look like a giant. 
We saw the tightest ice tree so we had to stop our car and take a picture. hah

Christmas!!

The famous top of the stairs Christmas morning picture. Chase and I look so happy..



Surie got a toy cell phone for christmas and after she opened it, she didn't want to open anymore of her presents. All she wanted to do was play with her phone. It was hilarious.

St. George

The first week in december I drove down to St. George to figure out school for next semester. I have loved being home with my family, but I miss living away too so I'm really excited to move back in January. 

We went to a ugly sweater party.. don't mind the random guy in the back?

Robyn didn't have an ugly sweater.. so she got punished. :]

We put Christmas lights around our apartment window. They looked so cute!

We tried making jello shapes.. they didn't work out so well..


Thanksgiving- Cabin







On thanksgiving we had dinner at grandma Suki's house and then headed up to my favorite place on earth... the cabin! Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without the cabin and the tradition of cutting down christmas trees, and most importantly being with the family. My Dad, Sadie, Tyson and Julie, the Olsons and the Tidwells were missed by us all. <3

Farewell







On November 16th it was my friend Brady's farewell. Brady is going on his mission to New Zealand. It was the first time all of our friends were together since we left for school, so it was really fun to see everyone and hang out with them for the weekend. Brady is one of my best friends and he will surely be missed. :[

update

The past two months have been nothing short of craziness. Being sick and in the hospital, not  being able to eat, becoming best friends with tums, worried visitors, more doctors appointments than I can count, moving back home, dropping out of school, sleeping more hours than Im awake, trips back and forth from the 801 to St. George, one of my best friends leaving on a mission, and my t.v schedule of the food network channel, ellen, heroes, samantha who, CSI: (all three), my own worst enemy, the hills, NCIS, 90210, gossipgirl, private practice, night rider, eleventh hour, greys anatomy etc.. (thank goodness for tvo) has kept me pretty busy. Due to this craziness I have been  a definite blogging slacker, but here is an update on my not so college life..
I was really sick in St. George for a week and a half and wasn't getting better, so when I came home for fall break my mom took me to my doctor. They thought I had pneumonia and put me on a super strong antibiotic called cyproflaxin. I started taking it and soon after I couldn't stop throwing up. It got so bad that anything I ate or drank I would throw up two minutes later. I got so dehydrated and I hadn't peed in 24 hours, so off to the hospital we went. When we got there they hooked me up to an IV and took my vitals, drew blood, did a cat scan, took x-rays and got a pee sample in a way that I will never forget etc.. etc.. Soon after the doctor came back with my test results and turns out I had fluid around my heart and my kidney function was at a 5 when it should be about a 1, which means my kidneys were functioning at only 8%. They admitted me to the hospital where I stayed that whole week. This was my first time staying in a hospital and lets hope it was my last. Im pretty sure the doctors and nurses hope it was my last time also because I was such a brat. Long story short, they couldn't figure out why I was sick or what was causing the kidney failure. I was their own "medical mystery." After keeping me on fluids the whole week, my kidneys were finally getting better so I was able to go home! I was so excited to get out of there and be done with them taking my blood about a million times, not to mention everyday at 5 in the morning. But actually it didn't stop there. I had to be back to the hospital for more blood tests, check ups to go to, more appointments to doctors I had never heard of before and all of which they pricked me and took more blood. Lets just say I still have bruises and marks on my arms. All in all, after a month of being sick and a conference call between all of my doctors, they were finally able to figure out what was wrong with me. Turns out I was in kidney failure because I was taking Ibprofen and the cyproflaxin while I was dehydrated, so it was too much for my kidneys to handle and so therefore they were shutting down. But interesting enough thats not why I was sick. I have pancreatitis, which is inflammation in the pancreas, other than it can be really serious and dangerous, I don't know too much about it. Im doing a lot better now, and Im thankful to those of you that visited me, called daily, sent flowers, brought me magazines, attempted to bring me food, fasted and kept me in your prayers. It means a lot, and it really showed me how truly and deeply loved I am. 

I have pictures but Im a little embarrassed because I look like Kung Fu Panda in them. My Aunts think they are funny and think that one day ill look back and be able to laugh at them.. but that day hasn't come and Im still not over it. Maybe in a few weeks it will pass and ill be able to post them. 

Yes we are in college..


I cant help that Im really funny?... haha
The other night we went water ballooning. Although some might ask other wise because of our immature behavior.. we are indeed in college. haha
