something in the water?


so the past couple of weeks have been a roller coaster. thanksgiving break was great! a much needed break. it was an off year at my house so all of the siblings were at their in-laws. so this meant that it was just me and the parentals. the original plan was to go to st. george and visit grams and gramps, but that fell through. i was sad, but at the same time happy. i think i just needed to be at home. the saturday after thanksgiving we had family pictures, a rare occurrence in my household, but because jordan and laura are moving to atlanta, they wanted a walker family photo. i was surprised how good they actually turned out. we had a great family lunch afterwards.
well after thanksgiving break it was time to get back to school. it is that time of the year, finals are going to be the pits. my apartment has had a number of breakdowns this week, some were sick, some stressed, and some emotionally drained. but of course there is something to be learned with all the trials of the week. i learned that the trials of others can be even more beneficial to you. i have learned a lot this week. i am so grateful for the way our savior teaches us through others.

in other news there was a huge windstorm that hit davis county. i didn't know about it till a while after it happened, it sounds like it was crazy town. i was kind of sad that i missed it, i am glad that everyone is okay. its amazing how a disaster can bring people together. there is supposed to be another big windstorm tonight. hopefully it isn't too devastating.

two more weeks.. then it is christmas break. utah state made it to a bowl game! it is in boise, and i am going. so pumped!

Oh the life of a college student. It really is a roller coaster, isn't it? As much as you don't want to get involved in roommate drama, it's pretty much impossible. My guess is that you are a major calming influence in your apartment. That is truly one of your many gifts. Can't wait for you to finish finals so we can hang out. Love you!
