Taking the Good With the Bad

So lately I feel like there are lots of things to be greatful for, but there have also been plenty of things to make me want to never get out of bed. It pretty much started last week with school. I am seriously beginning to think that this semester just might be the end of me. I am in my fourth week and things are getting really crazy. On Thursday I submittes the right project on the wrong topic. GREAT......so glad that I busted my butt getting it done to find out that it was not on the right subject !!

The second mishap came on Friday and coninued on through Saturday. My grandmother turned 90 this past Saturday and so my mom and I decided to go to St. George to celebrate her birthday. I have been asking for so much time off work so decided I could not drive with my mom on Friday and we didn't want to go Friday night becasue the cajon pass might be closed. Brilliant plan - My mom will drive up Friday morning and I will take the 30 seater aircraft straight into the 2 terminal airport located in St. George.....YAY!!! All is well and my flight leaves pretty much on time. Then about 50 ft from the ground in St. George, the pilot ascends rather quiclky back into the air and heads back to Vegas except that at that time we had no idea what was going on. We then arrive back in Vegas at 11pm vegas time where Unites Airlines tells us due to weather conditions we could not land in St. George and because it is weather related United is not responsible for compensation meaning your destination ends here.....really great. Anyway, 5 hours and a rental car later I arrived in St. Geroge at 5am....yes you heard that right!

My weekend was fun...it was nice being with family and spending time with Grandma, however, I am still catching up on sleep!!!

Now to top it all off, I am sick for the third time in a month.......I think I'm dying!!!

Good things, though, include: My brother being on a Mission! I am turning 22 in 3 days! I will be going to Disneyland on Sat.! And, I am loving my Harry Potter class. It is the only thing that keeps me going to school!!!
