Stress, Snot, and School

So, you might be wondering what all these things have to do with each other. Well, about a week before school started, I woke up with a sore throat, which lead to fever, the most snot I have ever produced in my life, which then went to my chest making breathing nearly impossible. After being highly medicated for 4 days and calling into work once, I am on the rebound with just a cough that won't go away. Stress, school started, need I say more. School started Monday the 24th and I wish it would go away as fast as it came. Before school started, Bradford and I went with some friends to Catwalk which is a set of suspended bridges off of cliffs running through a canyon in Glenwood, NM. It's about 2 hours away but it is such a pretty place and an escape. I have also added Derek's missionary picture I took before he left. An update on him...he officially is in the mission field in Virginia. I am not sure where exactly he is in Virginia but I know he is there. He flew from Salt Lake City on Wednesday morning and arrived in Virginia that afternoon at 4pm. My mom got a letter from him with some pictures so as soon as I get those I will post them ASAP. I am a horrible sister because I have only written him like 4 times. I need to catch up and buy some stamps and write the poor kid. Until next time...FAREWELL MY FRIENDS!!!

My cute Elder Brown...sigh

He's gone...

Sigh...

My little baby brother left for his mission on the 5th and I just barely got around to talking about it. I think my mom is still wading around in a pool of tears. I have got one letter from him and my mom forwarded an email she got from him to a couple of people. What I have got from it is that he isn't a big fan of the MTC and is ready to get out in the field. He said the shock has worn off a bit and he is able to concentrate more and absorb the things they are teaching. If any of you want his address go ahead and slip me a comment or something. And Kam, you leave me comments and I have no way to get a hold of you. Email me valerina50@yahoo.com. I will type out his letters or emails and post them when I get the chance. For now I better get back to doing my Microbiology homework...BAH!!!

Friends....

I need help...I can't figure out how to add a friends list to my blog. I am starting to get some harrassing emails from people and avoid being suffocated in my sleep I think I should probably figure it out. Any help out there?
