For all of you out there who have not gotten sick yet, I am envious of you. I just spent an entire weekend on the couch. Which my very kind husband basically neglected his life to take care of me. What a wonderful husband I have. Now let me recap the story, because I know you all are dying to know.
Friday night Jordan's parents took us to dinner at the Outback. So wonderful of them (they are basically the best in-laws anyone could ask for) Anyways, I decide that I want to order something new. I go with the Pork Sweet Glazed something or another. It was pretty good and I was content with life. Jordan and I had a date for when we got back to carve pumpkins. I found out last year that I am extremely talented at carving pumpkins. I had not tried since my senior year of high school, which ended with five stitches (which I had to compete cheerleading in) and that is a story for another time. Anyway, I put the design on my pumpkin and put one slice into that sucker.... and bam. Whoozy. I feel as sick as a dog. You know that feeling that you get when you feel like throwing up but it will pass? That is how I feel. So I lay down. The feeling gets super intense. I sit in front of the toilet. Camped out for about an hour. Jordan convinces me to lay on the couch and he will put a bucket next to me. I fall asleep. I wake up about an hour later, Jordan asks me how I am feeling....and bam. Throw up. I will spare you the details but pretty much all of my dinner came out, and I threw up about 3-4 times in one sitting. I am just thinking "is this how it feels to throw up? Seriously." I am shaking and my eyes are watering. Let's just say that I spent the rest of the night getting up to throw up the water I was drinking and dry heaving. What a tremendous night.
OH wait it gets better. At my school they have dances (kinda lame, whatever). But it is my last semester so I want to live it up. It is a Masquerade Ball, Jordan and I already bought masks, tickets, arranged everything, whole nine yards. I am totally thinking that this flu will pass. Little did I know that every time I got off the couch I would want to puke. Not to mention I got a fever. When was the last time I got a fever?? So we missed the Masquerade Ball. Totally disappointing. They take your picture and everything like a high school dance. I just wanted to experience one with my husband.. oh well. That day we also missed our oldest nephew's 8th birthday party (Happy Birthday Jax!!). We are terrible aunt and uncle... Sorry Candace we wanted to be there!
I also miss my brother's 27th birthday. (Happy Birthday Sean!) His birthday was Sunday and I still feel terrible. They have a 19 month old, and I did not want to chance giving him (or them) what I had. So I skip that. Jordan teaches our Sunday School class by himself... 19 kids showed up this week... I love you Jords!.... while I spend another day on the couch.
This is what I have to say to you Mr. FLU. You stink. I hate you. You ruined the one weekend where I had things planned. If you come again, you will not be welcome here.

Taylor Swift
Many of you reading this right now read my post for last week, so this is kind of a continuation.
So I am currently employed by my wonderful teacher Beth Hendricks. She is one of the advertising professors on campus. I am helping her come up with more youthful oriented lectures for class. The other day she was talking to me about Taylor Swift. And I am thinking to myself, "oh please don't make me do this." Although I enjoy Taylor Swift I have gotten the impression that she is highly over-rated. I mean I agree she is an entertainer, but when she starts taking awards away from Carrie Underwood for being a better singer, I would have to disagree....
Anyway, I am spending my morning researching T. Swift (which I am getting paid to do:]) And she is probably one of the smartest people in the world. Her name/brand is huge. She is partnering with everyone under the sun. Just a short list:
Target, Sony Ericcson Phones, Sony Digital Cameras, Comcast, Royal Carribbean Cruises (she is doing an exclusive concert for passengers when they dock in Cozumel, Mexico), etc, etc.
She is putting tons of content out there about her New CD, "Speak Now" like what each inspiration was for each song, including a song written about the Kanye West 'incident', and it is blowing up everywhere.
Although I have had my skepticism on this girl. Dang she is smart. She is what, only 20 years old, and has her name everywhere. She has probably the most amazing PR/AD/Managers ever. And she will not be going away anytime soon.
As an advertising student, I am thoroughly impressed. Taylor Swift, you have changed my mind about you.

Many wonders of the past week.
Ok, post number two. One for the books! There has been nothing too exciting that is going on in my life, but I feel like rambling about the on-goings of our lives here in Idaho.
For those of you who didn't know, I am no longer working at Chesbro Music Company. It was just an internship so it had to end eventually. But there is good news (as of today)! My wonderful teacher Sister Beth Hendricks has hired me to do a mentorship for her this my very last semester of college. It is a pay reduction, hour reduction, and work increase; but I am excited to at least be bringing home some of the bacon. Tomorrow it is off to the Kimball building to turn in my driver's license and social security card! Oh the wonders of working. After this semester you ask? Oh well let me tell you! I am currently applying for another internship with INL. For those of you form Idaho you know what this is. But for everyone else.. It is the Idaho National Laboratory. It is basically the place responsible for cleaning up the oil spill in the gulf this last summer. Kevin Costner (was it him?) has funded a scientist here and they pitched it to Congress (and much more wonderful thigns in the news) and bang, INL. They give 40 hour a week paid internships for 5 months. So fingers crossed people!
Now let's update you on Jordan. Right now he is studying for test #4. All of which he has had in under a week. Might I add that Jordan's long lost sister Chalai visited from Texas (with all her six bundles of joy that we surley miss) and Jordan has been cooped away even for that. Let's just say that my husband is having an affair with Psychology and I am missing him dearly.
And now for the grand finale!!!!
My dear cousins in California lost their mother to breast cancer this last August. I am deeply sorrowed for their loss, but so excited for what is to come. The girls have been somewhat interested in the church all growing up. They have never had a full submersion into it. After the death of their mommy who other than the wonderful LDS missionaries to come knocking at their door. Let's just say I got a phone call from them today asking when I would be in California so I could be apart of their baptism. What a joyous phone call I received. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Please pray for my cousins that they will become members of this wonderful church and they will have the courage to be baptized (who would have thought writing a blog post could make you cry).
That is all my dearies. Have a good week:)

School, School, School
School has officially been in session for four weeks. This is my very last semester (commencement on December 18, 2010) and I am finally getting that thing people call Senioritis. Tonight I am feeling the pull as I have realized that I have only completed 25 hours of my 160 hour project. Oh where does the time fly. Also, I am realizing that I am such a baby. Jordan had to drive to Rexburg to take a test (Cognitive Psych... Scary!) which leaves me home all alone. I keep hearing things moving around and weird noises. Maybe I am a little paranoid. Who knows. But I am wishing he is home!
On the other side of things, I just finished the second book of the Shiver trilogy. Have you ever read a book that you just keep thinking about it in your mind, and somehow you feel like you were somewhat a character? Yes, sadly, that is how I feel. I keep wondering what is going to happen next. But I will have to wait until July of 2011.
That is everything my dears. I hope my first post was everything expected and more.
