Out of Reach

I had one of those moments today that just make you shake for 5 minutes after. Linda went downstairs to get some makeup or something and I was helping watch Violet. Violet went after Linda, and I wasn't able to catch her before she started tumbling down the stairs. She was okay after, but it was the longest 5 seconds of my life. I wish my reaction time was just a bit faster, but I was a foot short of being able to catch her. I was shaking for 5 or 10 minutes after, I swear the first couple of seconds happened in slow motion.

Last night I just couldn't get any sleep. I got like 4 hours, but other than that nothing. I suppose I'm still a bit over excited about Linda and everyone being here. It rained a lot today, I'm just glad it wasn't windy. It doesn't even feel remotely like winter here at the moment. My ride was late today so I missed the sacrament at church, I was going to attend the other wards but I totally forgot! I wanted to sleep so badly, but for the most part I managed to avoid it today. I did a little during Relief Society when we were talking about the signs of the second coming, but not too much. I had to walk around the halls a few times and drink a lot of water. I also got to talk to this guy I know, his name is James, he used to be my home teacher. He says he isn't very good at talking to people, but I don't see it. I find him to be really interesting. He's one of the very few guys I actually like talking to. He also gave a talk in sacrament meeting today, it was pretty good.

I'm still adjusting to our new puppy. She is still too hyper for me, I don't spend much time around Panda right now. It's going to take time for my heart to warm up to her. Part of me still feels like my space has been invaded. I'm sure the cat feels somewhat the same. I'm just going to have to be patient I guess. I'm just not that into her right now, though I admit she is cute.

I napped today and hung out with my nieces and nephews. The whole family was here tonight, all of my brothers and sisters and their children. I now have 2 nephews and 4 nieces. We had home made minestrone for dinner tonight. My mom is a master at making soup. Actually she is a master at cooking in general in my opinion.

Anyway, nothing much to write about other than this. It is my friend Ronnie's birthday today. I'm not sure what he is up to right now though.

Saying Goodbye Sucks

So it's been about 2 and a half weeks since my sister and my nephew came here to visit. Today they left, it was pretty sad. I had been dreading this day for the past few weeks because my nephew is so cute and I love it when my sister comes here.

It's been really nice having them here. My nephew is so cute, he has these bright blue eyes, and he just started walking. It's fun to watch him walk around and interact with people and toys. He takes 3 naps a day, he slept in my parent's room for the first few days because they were on Tabernacle Choir Tour. Once the got him though my sister and Jax started sleeping in my other sister's room. Sometimes my sister would being him downstairs to the place we made into a little living room. We had toys downstairs and he would walk around saying hi to everyone and was being so cute. I have gotten used to having him here so when he had to go it was really weird.  I already miss when he would talk to people, make noise, and interact withe the TV, that was really cute.

Anyway, so today has been pretty dull for the most part. Earlier I said goodbye to my sister Jax, and Justin. We all gave each other hugs and said goodbye. I remember the defining silence that ensued in the house after they left, it was SO quiet, and a little creepy as well.

I just went back downstairs like usual and did my thing. I have been starting to watch Star Trek again the past few days. I am currently on TNG, I'm actually saving the original series for last. It's been fun watching it again.

Other than that I just did the usual, read, listened to music, surfed facebook, got on Destiny Online, talked to friends, etc.

I am still typing up the entry about my ward activity, I don't know how long that is going to take me to finish. It should be up by the time I get this entry up finally though. it should be right below this one if you see it. I type all my entries in Google docs first because sometimes I don't have time to post them right then, or I feel a bit lazy.  I should really work on that bad habit of procrastinating ha ha.

I mostly kept to myself most of the day, going upstairs only about 3 times to eat something.  It is really weird without my nephew being here.

You haven't really missed much between the time I got home from my ward activity, and today. Just the usual has been happening, family stuff, hanging around the house, etc.  I'm really hoping to go to Harry Potter when it comes out, I hope I don't have to wait long.

Anyway, I guess that is all for now. Knowing how lazy I feel right now I probably won't post this for a couple more weeks probably. Sorry if that really does happen. I will make sure to change the date on the entry and put it in it's proper place though. I like things to look natural like that.

Jax

So my nephew was born a few days ago. He is so adorable! His name is Jax. I really want to see him in person but I live so far away from California. I hope I get to go there soon though.

Nothing much has happened other than that to my memory. I have been just watching anime, reading and stuff like that.  I really wish I had more to do.
