Who knew...

...you could have touching moments at the library?

Jake was home studying for finals so I thought I would take away this cute little distraction and go to the library. We picked out a couple of books and sat down to look through them. After a couple of minutes, a lady came by us with a group of handicapped boys to read books to them. Most of the mothers that were around quickly grabbed their children and went somewhere else. Not me. I watched Evelyn as she studied these boys, young men really. She grabbed one of her books, walked over to one of them and sat down right next to him, flipping through the pages of her book. A huge smile lit up across this young mans face. The lady told me that he loves little babies. He gave Evelyn a big hug, shook her little hand, waved and said hello. Evelyn giggled with delight. It was such a precious moment for me to witness. There was nothing different about these young men to Evelyn. Nothing to run away from. 

These were new friends that she wanted to share her love of books with. 

A weekend, library outing, and runny nose

This weekend was so great besides the fact that we were all sick. Jake didn't have any programs he needed to work on so Evelyn and I had a lot of time with Jake. We both love spending time with him. It was a quiet weekend. Even though we were sick we managed to get out of the house for just a little bit and go to the library (Evelyn's second home) when we knew a lot of people wouldn't be there. You can tell Evelyn is in her element when she walks into the children's section and starts pulling out books to flip through. The rest of the weekend was spend taking lots of bubble baths, and Jake and I taking turns being runny nose police.  Boy does that girl hate having her nose wiped! I love when we get weekends like this. Spending time as a family is my favorite thing to do in the entire world. And when the time comes along when Jake isn't busy with homework, we grab it and go! 

People Placed

You know those people who you know you were just meant to meet and have them be a part of your life? Heavenly Father has a funny way of placing certain people in your life when you need them. Well I believe that these two have been placed in my life for that reason. These two have been there during my first college years when you are on your own and sometimes feel alone, been there for my first real relationship and heart ache, first crush on a teacher, all shared the same creepy stalker, first talk in a singles ward, first time practically living in the library studying, first and certainly not the last CES fireside on marriage, first finals week....the list goes on and on. These two know me better than anyone else besides my family. I am so grateful to have met these two wonderful girls. They have always been there for me. I can't wait to live with them again up in Ogden as we continue with our medical careers!

Nerd

I never thought I would be this excited over a new library card.

But I am. I know I'm a nerd. Who loves to read.

Everything.

Done...done and DONE!

Yes!! I have finally finished this horrible week full of all my plethora of tests! It feels great!
I went to the library to study at 9:30, took a test at 11:15, then another at 11:45, then studied for my bio med test till I couldn't study anymore which was around 2:45. When I went to go take my bio med test, the lady that was there in charge of checking you in and what not, very nicely told me that she wouldn't put me next to the girl with the clicky nails. Ha ha uh thanks! So I get onto my computer and begin my test when I hear this crazy loud, annoying clicking noise! This girl was typing like crazy with huge fake nails on. Blast! Kill me now! Yes I was impressed at how fast the girl could type but seriously?!? Usually I can take those tests in 15 minutes....ish... but this time it took me twice as long! All I could hear was the stupid noise her nails made as they struck the keyboard. But I did well with all three tests! Heavenly!

Am I gonna start studying for finals? Nope. I'm going to be lazy and watch movies and read books! Hurray for being lazy!

New living quarters

It's that time. Time when the library becomes my not-so-permanent residence.

Today was a long day! School, work, took a Patho test, then did a four hour study session at the library.

At least I got to see a beautiful sunset.

• Bio Med test tomorrow
• Patho test Wednesday
• Bio Med test Thursday....or Saturday

Finals are starting to look like a breeze compared to this week!
