I broke up a fight today in one of my PE Classes. Weird how boys will stop fighting if you scream real close to them, but girls not so much. Luckily, today was boys.
I am having a hard time going to bed because it is October and that means baseball playoffs. The Dodgers are on the TV right now. SIGH. I need to go to sleep.
The week is kinda whizzing by. I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday already. Weird.
I don't have much else to say. I haven't done a whole lot this week. Sometimes no news is good news, right?

The Weekend of Traveling Back and Forth to SLC
Good weekend. Got to spend lots of time up in Salt Lake with the Bills. I was supposed to go down to Southern Utah and spend some time with Alyssa and a million of her closest friends, but with the way I was feeling on Thursday, I had decided not to make that trip. Instead, I will head down to Vegas on Friday to spend some time with her.
I am feeling much better. Crazy how anti-biotics can make one feel better, when one has an infection.
It was Conference weekend. For those of you that are not Mormon(A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints), Conference weekend is where the leaders of our church all get together and address us. There are two sessions on both Saturday and Sunday and we are able to hear from the president and prophet, Thomas S. Monson and the twelve apostles, as well as other leaders of the church. The talks that these amazing people deliver are inspiring and uplifting. If you are curious about what they have said at conference you can check out videos of the talks at lds.org. Also, if you are interested in learning more about my beliefs visit mormon.org
It was crazy and awesome hanging out with The Bills Family all weekend. We had girls night out on Saturday and enjoyed dinner and a movie.
There were lots of kids running around the house this weekend. I like them so much. I take lots of pictures of Oliver because he is still tiny and so dang cute.
Erin's birthday is coming up so we had a little party for her on Saturday night. It is tradition to have crazy singing for a Bills family member. The video demonstrates that.
Josh stayed at my house because he actually wanted to sleep and not be woken up by little children very early in the morning today. It was nice to have him, not only because I got to drive in the carpool lane on two trips to Salt Lake but because he is a pretty cool kid.
Well, off to bed. Way past my bedtime but I will survive hopefully!

Posting from bed...
...and it is glorious.
It has been a bit chilly here lately. It is kinda weird; it is like Fall just arrived on a particular day. I love Fall. It is my favorite for many reasons:
1. I sleep so much better in cooler temperatures.
2. Fall foliage makes my soul happy.
3. Football, duh!
4. Can you say World Series?
5. Hooded sweatshirts and coats make me feel all warm and fuzzy.
6. Slippers on my feet whenever I am home.
7. Going to Logan for the pumpkin walk.
8. Halloween and Halloween decor.
9. Thanksgiving. That is one heck of a meal.
10. Fall break
The only thing that bums me out about fall is that Winter follows.
So. I am pretty awake and have time to tell you the Gandolfo's story. It may not be hilarious to you at all but I kinda chuckle when I think about it. And I apologize in advance for this lengthy post.
So. We had half days on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, Kirsten and I decided to get Gandolfo's for lunch. We also took an order fo a co-worker, who wanted a "Damn Yankee" sandwhich. While looking on the menu I could not find said sandwhch, so I asked the person behind the counter if they still made that sandwich and this is the answer I got: "Yes we still make that sandwhich but we took it off the menu because some customers were offended by the name. They were also ordering the "Dang Yankee". "
I found this hilarious and found about twenty opportunites to say "Damn Yankee". Apparently, I am a heathen. Seriously people, damn is in the Bible. Silly conservative Utah!
I also thought that we better call Janette and see if she wanted anything or I may risk bodily harm if I re-entered the school with Gandolfo's and didn't bring her any. She did not answer but called back as Kirsten was driving us back to school. Of course, she wanted something so Kirsten had to do some amazing driving moves in order to get to the drive-thru, including dodging some of our students who were taking a short cut through the drive-thru. This mixture of cell phone talking and dodging students caused her to miss the ordering spot. I found this oddly funny which got me in trouble later. I opened the window and shouted at the students to get out of the way and told them that it is dangerous to drive while talking on a cell phone which is demonstrated by the missing of the ordering station by Kirsten. Funny, no? Kirsten also had to order awkwardly because when correcting the over shoot she backed up a little too far. I again found it hilarious and that got me in trouble as well. After finally getting through the drive-thru, we headed back to school with our food. I noticed some grade school aged kids walking and started to roll down the window to say something smart to them. Kirsten. Stopped me by locking the windows. I then proceeded to open my door. It was funny to me as I said : "like you really can stop me!". Funny, no?
The students who we harrassed in the drive- thru told both me and Kirsten that we were bad examples the next day at school. Her because she was driving and talking on the phone. Me because I didn't stop her. But in reality, I had offered to drive for Kirsten after we left Gandolfo's so she could eat her food but she wouldn't let me. The story would have been less hilarious and then she wouldn't have to try and place blame on me! Too bad.
End note: Kirsten makes life more of an adventure and I am glad we are buds!

Antibiotics=Nausea
My bum is sore again. Went to doc yesterday and he thinks it may be a little infected. Joy. Back on antibiotics and nausiated. I really look forward to being recovered. Let's hope that is soon. If you would, send some prayers up for me. Mom do not freak out. I am FINE!
Hope all is well. I had a great day. Ask me to tell you about a hilarious trip to Gandolfo's. It is a great story. Too tired to type it now. Maybe tomorrow.
