It's been a while.

So it has been a good while since I last wrote. Since the last time, I have gotten in a car wreck. That happened on the 8th of December, and it totaled my car, but its easy to fix. So no worries there. Im just driving around a rental that I am liking alot, so it is going to be hard to give up on Thursday.
A few residents died at work, Its the season of people leaving or dying, so our census has gone down a ton. So some of the CNAs have had to go home early all the itme. So that has been fun, NOT!!!! Just the passed couple days, starting on Christmas, we have had 3 deaths in 3 days, and its all been on the floor I mainly work on. So it has been a little hard to get used to not having them there after so long of me working with them. But oh well. It happens, and life goes on. I am getting used to people dying, and not taking it as hard as I did when I first had to death with the death of a resident for the first time. I love my job even though it does have crappy days, and I do have to work holidays, it does pay off because I am helping people who cant help themselves, and I love some of the residents.
So now, me and Brad are down to 39 days until the wedding. Which I think is so crazy!! It's amazing how time flies. I am getting so excited, but also so nervous too. We areent quite ready for the wedding to be here, but we still have 39 days. I go to an interview with my bishop in 2 weeks to get my temple reccomend so I am so excited for that. Im excited to be a part of the Sawyer family. They are all so awesome and I love them all so much. I am so glad I have gotten along with them all from day 1. They are just like my family. I think that is all the updating I need to do right now. So there you go..

the weekend!

Ok so Thanksgiving I had to work, but it was ok because we were overstaffed so I went home until 5 and worked 5 to 9. So it wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be. I had my dad's side of the family over before I went to work, and it was kindof enjoyable seeing them because I only see them 1 or 2 times a year even though they live in the Salt Lake area, we all are just not that close. I went to work, and after being sent home I went to Brads brothers house and had a little Thanksgiving over there. The food was good, what I ate of it because I was so full. I went back to work only to feed my residents and throw them in bed, and then left again. After I went over to Brad's dads house and had some pie over there, and we played the game "Signs" and that was way fun. I went home after that and went to bed. I lvoe Brad's family. I have gotten along with them from day 1 and they are just like my own. The rest of the weekend was just spent woring, and when I wasnt working, I was either home or with brad. On monday, which was yesterday, Brad was sick, and I went over to his house to spend time with him for a bit, and then last night we went to "Forgotten Carols" with Micheal McLean. For those of you who havennt seen it, I think you should. It is the best play. You can hear the meaning behind the words, and its just great. For any religion too. This is my 3rd year of seeing it and it just gets better and better each year. I actually closed my eyes and felt the meaning behind the words and started crying in all the songs. Like I said before, I highly reccomend it to all. That was my short weekend, and I now cant believe that its already getting so close to Christmas. The year has just flown by. AYE AYE AYE
