Back To Normal

Hey! Hope your weekend was spooktactular! We had alot of fun. We didn't do too much, but we spent it with family and friends so it was great. Here's some fun things that we've done lately and things that have been on my mind:

1. Cole's parents got a blu-ray player and we watched Australia on blu-ray on Friday and it was amazing! I love that movie. The next day we rented The Proposal. That was hilarious. I love Sanrda Bullock.

2. I have 5 1/2 weeks of school left! YAY!

3. I hesitate to tell you this (because I don't want to bore you), but last week I had a little stress-fest (and that is what threw me off the BFL wagon and made me really stressed!) because of a stupid teacher. First of all, he gave me and this girl I was working with a ZERO on an assignment that is worth 25% of our grade because we didn't do it in the right "format". So if I get a 100% on everything else, then I can only get a C in the class. UGH. He's totally gonna throw my GPA off. Also this same teacher happened to be the teacher that teaches a class I need to do "independent study" with for one class I have left that I was going to take during my student teaching. Long story short ....he refused to work with me. This meant that I wouldn't be able to do my student teaching next semester because of one stinking class!! I spoke with the chair of the department and my counselor and we were able to get things straightened out. I'm going to take a BYU internet course that is equvilant to the class I need. So in the long run, its better because now I don't have to work with that teacher.

4. I am doing my student teaching out at Century High School starting January 4, 2010! I'm nervous and excited. Its gonna be weird teaching at the school that I went to. I'm also happy because my brother, Dane, is doing his student teaching out there too!

5. Cole's sister was in town and we always have fun going shopping. I didn't buy anything. Although i do need some pants desperately, but I'm going to wait until I'm done with BFL in 3 weeks.

6. We have to set up soccer nets every Saturday for 8 weeks and last Saturday was our last week! Yippee! Now we can enjoy our Saturdays!

7. We spent alot of the weekend cooking and eating with Cole's family - Tortellini, Carrot Cake, and Enchiladas were a few items on the menu.

8. My little niece, Suzanne, had her baby blessing. It is so fun to see my own brothers and sister start their own little families and to see how their looks and personalities are just like their's.

9.Church was crazy because I'm in the primary and we are doing primary program practice. We had all the kids (probably 60) in a small room together for 2 hours. I don't know how the kids do it, cuz I can't even hardly sit there for 2 hours. Those little sunbeams were so awesome. They really sing their little hearts out. I just hope that they don't get shy when we actually have to do it in sacrament meeting.

10. Cole and I visited Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen for about 3 hours Sunday. I just love my grandparents! They make me laugh so hard. They tell the best stories. They have the best relationship and they are just amazing people.

11. We then went up to my parent's to eat some casadillas and watch the world series. Cole was so mad that the Yankees won again, but hey the Phillies came back and won tonight. Go Phillies! Before we left, my mom stocked me up with some nutritious goodies from their food storage.

Last week was very rough when it comes to BFL. Lets just say it was a "free" week instead of my "free day". But I am back to normal now. I have 3 weeks left. Wow I can't believe it! I'm gonna push it hard to the end. I'm also going to try to blog everyday because that reallllllly helps me stay on track. So I'm going to post even if I am really boring...Sorry.

MEAL ONE - 9:30 am @ BUTTERBURRS

Wellllllll... Cole and I wanted to make it a tradition to go Butterburrs every Monday for breakfast just to kick off the week. THAT tradition was short lived. We had horrible food! No cheese in my omelet, they put gravy on my potatoes so I couldn't eat those, Cole's eggs were not cooked, and worst of all he found a hair in his food! BLEH! That tradition was shot down. The waitress felt bad and she gave us 3 free rasberry twists so that was good. Even though I can't eat them.

MEAL TWO - 12:15 pm

Chicken Salad Sandwich on Whole Wheat Sandwich Thin - canned chicken, lf miracle whip, dijon mustard, sunflower seeds, onions, and cranberries. And I cut up some pear. MMMm! This was good. I love these new Sandwich Thins. They are great for making sandwiches. They are only a hundred calories, they are whole wheat, and you can used them as hamburger buns too.

MEAL THREE - 2:45 pm

Strawberry Protien Shake and a little pumkin and flaxseed granola.

MEAL FOUR - 5:15 pm

Two Rice Cakes

MEAL FIVE - 7:00 pm

Malaysian Pizza and Spinach Salad. This is my favorite meal ever! I made a spinach salad to go with it. It had spinach, feta, cranberries, sunflower seeds, and homemade balsamic vinaigrette. We made extra so we could have left overs tomorrow.

I'm too full to have a sixth meal tonight. I feel so good getting back on BFL. ahhh. I will definitely see you tomorrow. GOOD NIGHT!
