BOOM

| | |

first, i just ate completely fermented pineapple.
and more than i should have to.
i didn't MEAN to
and one would think i would have figured it out sooner.
i just thought the grapes they were in the container with made them taste funny.
HA
i figure mom would have noticed when she put it together this morning. 
(ok, yes, i'm almost 24 and my mother still packs food for me everyday
i'm sure it's more common than you think, right?!)

anyway...my stomach feels queeezy..blechk

this past saturday we put the garden in!

it was an all day family project.
i did the tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers (my least favorite)
FRESH GARDEN TOMATOES ARE MY SUMMER DELIGHT! a MUST HAVE!
we also have summer squash
zuchinni
red, yellow, and green bell peppers
jalapenos
poblano chili peppers
green beans
and for the first time this year we're trying:
sweet potatoes
strawberries
asparagus
and carrots (at my request because i want to pull them out of the ground!)

anyway. i'm excited  for
the "fruits of our labors"
:)


this past weekend i also had a breakdown.
my parents are troopers because MY frustration becomes THEIR frustration.
mom says i'm like a time bomb and they never know
until it builds up to much i burst into tears and let it all out.
the cause: kevin will no longer be able to make it in august.
so my new years resolution for a marriage in 2011 is out the window.
and so are all my plans i had.
my big question: WHAT NOW??

i'm doing much better since sunday.
kevin had his english test scheduled today.
though his mom has been in the hospital for the past 2 days,
i don't know if it all went through as planned.
he had to give her his blood for a transfusion.
BYU sent him a letter stating his application will be good for
 January of 2012 now.
they don't want him to have to rush all the visa/sponsor/housing/whatevers for august.
i won't be going to colombia for my birthday.
it's been decided that it would be better to put the money toward
bringing kevin out here for a visit.
especially since we have to wait for January now.
i want him to come in july.
his first U.S. of A. experience!!
and he could be here for the 4th!
i'm very very anxious for it.
i can cope much better when there's a plan and end goal.


lesson re-learned: My life is not run on

MY TIMETABLE.



BABY NEWS!!!!!
 Dacy found out she's having a boy!
(the chinese gender prediction chart
is always right.)


new goal: i've started reading The Biography of Thomas S. Monson
Q U A L i T Y.

I'm also reading A Million Little Pieces (very different from the book above)


both fascinating.



to keep in mind...

 in the words of Katy Perry:
"...after a hurricane,
comes a rainbow..."

(yes, i did just quote katy perry. let's all get over it now.)
