I have always loved being with my family. I rarely pass up the chance to spend time with them. There are times that I get so mad at my sisters or brothers that I wish I hadn't chosen to hang around, but for the most part it is a blast! Now that we are all grown and spreading around the state, it's not often that the whole family is at the same place at once. The high schools, jr. high schools, and elementary schools had the UEA/Fall break this last weekend. Because all the kids and my mom were out of school the family decided to get out of town for a few days and go to Cedar City. Analaine had a game on Thursday and Saturday. This is wonderful minus one little thing... I wasn't there. The colleges in Utah don't have UEA. There is a fall break but that isn't until the 16th of October and it is only one day. So while I was spending time in class on Thursday morning, my family headed out to support Analaine. I would have gone down later in the week, but I had class Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. (Now that the semester has been going I realized I shouldn't have taken a Saturday class.) I haven't ever stayed at my house alone before. It is nothing like being down at college and staying in my apartment alone. My family is supposed to be here when I am; that is how life should be! The first night was rough but after that I was fine. I was able to get a lot of things finished on Friday and I heard every word of the Saturday afternoon session of conference!
I was also able to spend time with a new friend of mine, V. It has been fun getting to know her. We spend hours talking and don't realize how much time has passed. This is rare thing for me. I usually just float through life. I haven't had a lot of close friends. But this is why life is good, finding those that leave footprints!
