So seeing how I've been like M.I.A for the last 6 weeks or so from blogging, from church for a few, and from school for about a week, I figured I'd let you all know I'm still alive! I'm here, just trying to get over having mono! Yea...NOT! Oh well, part of life, and I have been getting some much need sleep! Other than all of that excitement, here's a quick little glimpse of what's been going on this year (sorry no pics--I've been sick and the other's are on my mom's camera and I just figured while I was laying here I'd do a quick update, so no pics this time). Anyways, here it goes:
--Started back up at school at Weber State the beginning of January--majoring in psychology with a minor in health promotion. I love school and it definitely keeps me busy. I'm able to take one class on-campus, an institute class, and then two online classes this semester, so that's nice; and I'm glad that I'm able to be up on-campus for at least a little bit!
--I had my hearing a few weeks ago for my social security disability case (since I haven't been able to work due to my health circumstances...I'd honestly love to work and wish I couuld, but since I can't). I applied in April 2009, but didn't get approved and had to eventually go through to the court hearing. Well, I had my hearing the beginning of this month and I was approved! The judge told me at the hearing, so it was a great relief and such a help for myself and my family!
--For Valentine's I got to have a couple fun events...First, we had a little Valentine's party with all my family. My older sisters and their families came over and we had pizza, the kids played a couple games, then the kids all passed out valentine's to everyone, and we decorated heart sugar cookies. It was fun! I was thinking how the kids always have Valentine's for each other, but they don't always get to see each other to give it to them so I wanted to have a party and my mom was all for it--she got all the stuff and made everything (I felt bad I couldn't help but I stayed in bed up until everyone came...lame, I know). Second, our stake did this fun party for all the adults, the Saturday before Valentine's, so my mom and I went to that. It was dinner and this huge 60s show (singing and stuff from people in our stake impersonating the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Monkees, the Temptations, and so many more)! It was great!
So it's been a pretty busy, but a good year so far!
Sometimes you just need to sleep for a week or two! I'm glad you are recovering. And whoever turned you down for disability is ridiculous! They should try living with ED. Glad you finally got approved. Your V-Day party sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteMono! Just what you need. NOT!
ReplyDeleteWay to go on your schooling. You're always keeping busy with that.
And yeah for your social security. That's gotta be a relief.
Holy Moly girl... you've had a rough time lately! Hope you're feeling better. Let us know when we can come say hi! Oh and congrats on the disability stuff, you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteJackie, my darling, let's go on a vacation! We should go somewhere warm where we can just relax and forget about the troubles of the world. Oh, and good food is a must...so maybe a cruise? :)
ReplyDeleteSorry it has been such a rough few weeks (months, years....). Know that I will keep praying for you, as long as it takes.
