little brothers and allergies.

Good afternoon! It's been a slightly adventurous week here in Nampa, ID. I've been getting a lot of stuff done for college. I recently cleaned out my ENTIRE closet and ended up packing a large suitcase and tote full of warm clothes for BYU-I. I'm pretty excited. I have gotten some pretty good deals on everything that I have needed to get. I still have to find a laptop, backpack, comforter, books, and cooking stuff. I still have quite a bit of time, almost a month, till I leave so I've still got plenty of time.

So I had a couple funny things I was going to share. They have to deal with my little brother Logan. Logan is an amazing little guy. He always knows when to hug you when you are sad and how to make you laugh. He is such a hunk. Well anyways, the other day I was talking about going away to college. When I told him I would be living all the way in Rexburg he started crying. He was quite upset and told me that was too far away. I told him it was going to be ok because I would come back to visit him often. Then he asked "Will you bring your kids with you?" Oh man, how did we go from a college to kids. I guess it is all connected in the 6 year old brain. Then he proceeds to tell me I have to find someone I love so I can get married and have kids. Then he leaves the room. He come back in with a pile of money. This pile contained over $15 so I knew it wasn't his money. I asked him where he found it and he just said "Oh, around the house." I knew it was his older brothers' room so my mom called them in and they saw the money and tried to grab it back (since it was theirs). Then Logan started freaking out and crying again as he said, "No guys! I'm saving that money for Melissa's wedding." I tried so hard not to laugh. He turned to me and said, "Wouldn't it be horrible if you had to pay for your own wedding? You would have to save for a long time!" Oh Logan. He cracks me up.

So this week I have developed some allergies. I had mild ones last year but it's totally hitting me this year. At first it wasn't too bad scratchy throat and a little congestion on Sunday/Monday. But now I am congested, have a sore throat, watery eyes, headaches and an ear ache. Grr. It's not much fun. I have had to cancel two voice lessons and maybe three. I really need to have those so I can rock my audition at BYU-I. Well hopefully they just go away because all the medicine I have tried is not working.

Anyways this week will be awesome. My dad, parker, and nate are going off to scout camp. It will be nice for them to get away. Nate has been gone for the past two weeks to other camping adventures but he likes getting out of the house so its good for him. Hopefully with less people I will be able to get even more done for college.

Well that's about it for now. Adios!
