I'm a Mormon

I haven't blogged in FOREVER!! This has been a pretty interesting semester... It's finally Spring in the 'burg! We were so depressed because the first month or so of the Spring semester, it was snowing, and raining. But now its finally nice out. We went to Comedy Improv, and we got to go back and meet the cast, which included KIRBY HEYBORNE, Lincoln Hoppe, and Corbin Allred. All of them are popular LDS actors and stuff. It was hilarious, it was in the form of Whose Line is it Anyway. And they are all really nice. The Nashville Tribute Band also came this semester. They are working on a new CD called The Work: A Nashville Tribute to Missionaries. It was AWESOME!! My roommate Morgan sang in a show called We've Got the 90's. It was pretty cool too! The other pictures are from various places around campus where April and I walked around experimenting with photography. I am so looking forward to going home for a few weeks, and then heading to work at DISNEY!!! 29 DAYS!!!

So, I have been inspired by Morgan to start blogging again! A lot has happened in this Winter semester!

Back in Idaho

So, I am back in Idaho. I flew out of Atlanta on December 31st. It was a LONG day! I flew out at 6:10 AM eastern time and Landed in Salt Lake City at 10 AM mountain time( Noon Eastern time). Once I got to SLC, I had a 2 hour wait for my ride. And I finally got to Idaho Falls at about 4 PM mountain time. I was going to be staying with the Murray's for a few days, so when I got to their house on New Year's Eve it was party time. I showered and then took a 2 hour nap. (Just a side note that I spent the night before I flew out with Rande, so we stayed up all night because we were going to be leaving her house at about 3:30 AM anyway.) After my nap, we decorated cakes for the "Food Network's Extreme New Year's Eve Cake Challenge". It was so much fun!!! So I had a great couple of days with the Murray's, other than being sick most of the time. Sister Murray insisted that I go to the doctor on Sunday morning, and I had a double ear infection, sinus infection, and I couldn't breathe very well. But thankfully I have a wonderful family out here, and they all took care of me. It was just as if I were at home. I am so grateful to have such wonderful people out here that look after me. I would be in a boatload of trouble without the Murray's and Hill's. Classes have been going pretty well. I like all of my classes thus far. And I love my new roomies!! We have been having lots of fun together and getting along great!! I am missing home like crazy, but I'm glad to be back at school. I am going to be better about updating my blog, I know I say that on every post but this time its true!

I am such a SLACKER!

I have to get better at updating my blog. It's the only way that I will remember things that happen... lol, this is basically my journal! Anyhow, not much has been going in the wonderful life of Hanga. Just doing the laundry and hanging out with Gretchen. And helping around the house in any way that I can. I've done a lot of rearranging around the house. I rearranged the kids rooms twice in the last 2 weeks, and I am hoping not to do it again for awhile. Eileen is unhappy with her room now, so I guess that's the next project... I'll actually have something to blog about after next week. Eileen and David are taking the kids to Disney World and I get to go with them. We leave sometime Thursday morning, and we'll be back on Tuesday. I am really looking forward to it! I can't wait to go! I've been going to physical therapy to help with my leg, and last week I was cleared to stop going! My physical therapist said that she thinks that my ankle is strong enough for me to just keep working it on my own to strengthen it. It's still going to take some time but for all intensive purposes, I am healed! These are some pictures that I took of Gretchen and Dallin. And also some pictures from Gretchen's birthday. We had a little family party, all of us and Grandmom and Granddad came over. It was really fun!

Home....

This is Gretchen and I on Granddaddy's golf cart! That is definitely the fun activity for the kids on the compound. We go borrow the golf cart and ride around the compound. Jed and I have made a couple of movie on the golf cart, check them out on FaceBook.
This is our recreation of Lehi's dream. You can't see the great and spacious building or the man in the white robe but they are there.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!! Amelia started kindergarden and Stella is in 2nd grade! I'm glad I was able to be here on Amelia's first day of school... I think they are enjoying it! We certainly enjoy the peace and quiet of having everyone at school!
I took David's fake leg and painted the nails on it while he was gone one day! I also painted the nails on his gator leg. I painted those blue and orange to match it! It was hilarious. I did this a couple weeks ago and its still there! Its still funny whenever I see it!

So I've been home for about a month and I am loving it! I am still wearing my boot, I go back to the doctor in about a week and a half and hopefully I'll be able to go without it then. I haven't been working, because of the whole leg thing. I spend most of the day hanging out with Gretchen, and doing the laundry. I don't know what Eileen is going to do when I leave. I've spoiled her by doing the laundry and someof the cleaning most everyday while she is out running errands and stuff. Everyone now refers to me as SuperNanny these days. It's kind of interesting... Dallin is actually real to me now! See, before I came home I hadn't seen him and i didn't know that he existed. But now he does!!! He is the sweetest baby! I love him tons! I also have my little buddy Gretchen back! I missed her so much!!! I am enjoying my time with Estella and Amelia also! We have tons of fun together (when everyone isn't fighting that is...)! Last week I helped Nancy set up a recreation of Lehi's dream! It was really fun to do. I have also been going to Institute, which is pretty fun! We are studying Book of Mormon which is what I just finished studying at school, but it is a nice refresher. Well, that's it for now! Sorry its been so long, I didn't think anyone read my blog so I've been slacking. But I've been informed that everyone does read it...

5 MORE DAYS!!!

Well, really more like 5 1/2. I am super excited to come home!!! I was going to post everyday for the last 10 days before I come home. But on day 10 I had a little mishap. Last Thursday, I went to the park with Zach, Maddy, and some of Maddy's friends. The group we were meeting decided to play football, but we decided to play basketball instead. I had worn flip flops over to the park, because we were going off campus and I take advantage of any opportunity to wear flip flops. Anyways, when we started playing, I kicked them off. Zach and I were on a team and he passed the ball to me. I missed it, of course. And I chased after it. I ran onto the grass and apparently it was wet. I slipped and fell. When I landed my foot sort of went underneath me, and then I heard a really loud pop! It was terrible. Everyone ran over and started analyzing the situation. They all decided that I should go to the ER. By this point, I was in terrible pain and I didn't really care what they decided. Needless to say, in my 2nd trip to that hospital in 2 weeks time, I sprained my ankle and broke my fibula. I am in one of those stupid boots. I go back to the doctor on Thursday to have my leg x-rayed again to make sure its healing ok. If its not, then I will be put into a regular cast. I was already scared to fly home by myself, because I was scared I would get lost or something, but now its even worse. My new nicknames are The Hobbler, The Cripple, Crutchy, or the Gimp, among others. Everyone is having tons of fun with my crutches. The boys love to tickle me, especially now that I can't get away. I will post some pictures soon!

So its been an adventurous couple of days... I can't wait to get back to GEORGIA!!!
