I Lived!

Well, I lived through the first week of classes mostly unscathed. I learned a lot already! I was a pretty overwhelming week, full of new and interesting things and experiences. I learned how to wash my hands and clean my unit. I also learned where to put my chair in relation to the sides and location of the teeth I am looking at. I also got to be the patient, it was alright and we didn't really do anything major so it wasn't scary at all. It was really tiring, but I have made a lot of knew friends already, and I think it will be fun but hard.

On Saturday my mom, grandma, aunt Chris, aunt Dana, Jaimie, and Payge came up to Pocky. Cydney had her first college cross-country meet. She did really well, 16th in all, I think, and 4th for ISU. After the race my grandma took us out to lunch. We went to Red Lobster! It was awesome, we were all excited, being poor college students and all:)! It was really fun to see them, I really miss not being home and around them. Oh, and a special thanks to grandpa for buying lunch!

My home away from home!

Funny binkey!

BACK TO SCHOOL

As you know I am in the dental hygiene program at ISU. It is really hard and time consuming. So what I am saying is I am practically falling off the face of the Earth for about two years. I might not blog as much anymore, but hopefully Cameron will take over to keep everyone updated. Wish me luck, and if you need your teeth cleaned I can do it after this semester, I really will need volunteers so just leave me a message!!

Crane Reunion

Well, this weekend was the last hora before the dreaded start of the semester! I actually started school Friday, but Cameron doesn't start until Tuesday. Cameron got to float the river in Lava, that is where the reunion was, but I was in school. It looked like a lot of fun and I am sorry I had to miss it. Cameron, John, and almost everyone else had some cool battle wounds from the river! That night we had a volleyball game at camp, it was really fun. Then we just sat around the fire and talked, played, and just enjoyed each other's company. The next day we got up and went for a day swimming at Lava. We played volleyball, again and a lot, went down the slides, and played in the pool. Nate did crazy tricks off the platforms, but he is crazy like that, darn kid;) Then we went back to camp. We ate, and then we had another "friendly" game of volleyball, by that time everyone was starting to get really mouthy and talk a lot of trash, Zack and Cody;) It turned out really fun, we always enjoy getting together and just hanging out. We had to leave early Sunday because I had homework, dumb I know, and Cameron had to work. We were sad to leave because we were having so much fun. It was a great last weekend to end on!

Reunion, Fair, Fires, Berries, and Shopping

It has been the craziest week, really the week to top all weeks this time! Before the Kunz reunion, my grandma McCleod came down to say hi. My dad built a fire pit in our backyard so we had the inaugural fire! We also helped my mom get her room ready for school. Monday, my mom and I went over to Logan. We met my grandma McCleod for a day of shopping. The first order of business, shoes for clinic, not my favorite item to shop for on account of my freakishly small feet! We found some in the kid's section of Shoe Carnival, I also got some nicer shoes, as well. Then we went scrubs shopping. My mom and grandma went nuts, I got a lot of really nice pairs. We then went to see Momma Mia, an excellent movie I might add! The next days were filled with going to the fair. Tuesday we went to the derby, we even convinced both my parents to go with us, my mom has never been. It was ok, no fire or roll-overs though. Wednesday was the parade. Thursday, we went to everything from 4:00pm on, the hypnotist, illusionist, and rodeo. Friday, we got up early and went huckleberry picking with Cameron's family. It was fun, and we got alot of berries, considering Cameron ate them faster that I could pick, love ya babe! Then we had a weeny roast with the Cranes. We snuck into the rodeo to see Cameron's cousin Tyson ride a bull, he stayed on for about a second, bad draw I think. Saturday, we had the lunch and auction. It was one of a kind. They are really funny, and crazy people. I was glad I got to meet alot of Cameron's Dad's family, I didn't know past the immediate family on that side. Then we went back to the fair for the singing competition. It was really good, there were alot of really talented singers, I would have hated being a judge. Then we just chilled and hung out with my mom, this is the last time we will see her for a few weeks because school is starting for all of us. It was a fun last weekend in Bear Lake!

Kunz Reunion

Yet another reunion. This time it was the Kunz, my dad's family if you didn't know. We had a hot dog cookout at my uncle Griff's house on Friday. We had fun just sitting around BSing with each other. Then on Saturday we went to the lake. We had a potluck lunch, and then headed down to the lake for some fun in the sun. It was really nice to just sit in the water and talk. My cousin Jared had fun dunking Tarhea, his girlfriend's son Cameron, and me, we couldn't dunk him. Then Tarhea and I talked in the lake while the Camerons and Boedenn went in and played in the sand. That night we took a jeep ride over to Griff's house to see my cousin Monte. He had bike trouble so he didn't get into town till later Saturday. It was so fun to see all my family, we are really spread out. It was weird to not have my Grandpa or RoseMary there, but it was still a really fun reunion.
