Craziness in Provo

So its been a long long time since i have written in here! so i figured since i am on my lunch break and i have to be on it for an hour i would do some catch up!

Samuel started his classes for the Business program at BYU and is really excited about being in the program. It is keeping him busy, especially when you add on working at the MTC and his basketball and soccer games! The MTC is hiring him on full time this summer!! YAY!!! Which means he will actually make more money than me! he will be helping to develop a chinese learning program 20 hrs/week and teaching 20 hrs/week... plus taking 1 class on campus! so he is a busy busy person! somehow he still seems to find time for me :) He is also going to start volunteering his time during devotionals to translate english to chinese. He is really excited about that because it will help his conversation skills and vocabulary! He joined a few clubs, the Global Supply Chain Management club and the Business Management club. He got to tour the OGIO plant last friday and loved that!

As for me... it took me a while but i got a job mid december! i work for Stock Building Supply in the Insulation department... but i have yet to actually see any insulation!! i work in the office doing scheduling/billing/invoicing/filing/phones..... the list never ends!! but its a great office, the people are really fun and almost as sarcastic as my dad!! :) makes me feel right at home. The same week i got the job samuel and i moved to a much nicer place! its a small 8 plex, but we dont' pay any utilities, covered parking, 2 bedrooms... its smaller but perfect for us. the other place had too much space! and we have upgraded from sleeping on an air mattress and bough a new bed during the Pres. Day sales! so i am sleeping much much better now! This past week though we had a bit of a surprise! i woke up with some stomach pains, and as the day progressed they just go worse and worse. so i left work before lunch and made samuel leave class and take me to Urgent care. Well... after urine tests and blood tests and X-rays they found out i have an air pocket in my large intestines. (who woulda though air could cause so much pain). So now i am on pain killers/muscle relaxants that are making me very drowsy.. which reminds me... i need to take my pills......

ok... im back! so they make me really tired and by the end of the day i am just exhausted and want to sleep for hours!! but somehow i keep going!! I am also getting ready to run the REX LEE RUN again this year... and this morning i ran 2 MILES!! well... run/jog! but i am way proud of myself!

so thats our life right now! Mom came out to visit about 2 weeks ago... and it was good to see her! and i am coming home end of april for a wedding so it will be good to get back and see everyone! sadly samuel can't come with me b/c he has to work! miss and love you all!!
