So ok I know most people don't read this but well...sorry it's been since DECEMBER when I last wrote. I know I'm a bum. Winter quarter really kicked my butt. It was busy with traveling, honor bands yadda yadda. Now it's finals week and things are pretty calm and now I get to relax for a week or so and get back to the grind ( Read more... )

So everyone who stays in hotels read this. GROSS! What is even grosser, I stayed at one of those hotels last weekend! So for all of us who stayed at the Millennium hotel last weekend...hope you didn't drink out of the glasses!http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/

Thankfully I do NOT need surgery. I have a seriously sprained MCL (the ligament on the inside of my knee). I also have bruised bones due to my patella dislocating when I fell and the bones slamming together. He said that I was very lucky and had my knee just gone a TEENY bit further the MCL would have probably torn or I would have chipped my bone. ( Read more... )

Happy New Year! While everyone in the house is frantically preparing to head into Boston I'm sitting here in my pjs! I'm a little sad that I can't see Boston but Jodi and I are going to see at least one movie! :-) There is just no way I can walk ( Read more... )

So we made it to New Hamster as Landon (the 7 year old Dills boy) called it on the way here. We took two days to get here which I turned out to be pretty grateful for because my leg started to bother me at the end of each trip. We drove through some pretty big cities including NYC. That's the closest I've been to NYC! Sadly we just drove through ( Read more... )

So I moved my seat to be the 'front row' thinking I'd have more room. HA! Right I would have been better off leaving it so I could kind of stick my leg in the aisle. There was a wall right in front of my seat so my foot got to ride crammed at really awkward angles for the entire hour. At least the flight was only an hour! I did get wheeled around ( Read more... )

So i have to get an MRI. Big surprise. I can probably get an MRI tomorrow if I wanted BUT I can't get in to see an Orthopedist until Jan 10th. So why should I sit around when I have perfectly good plane tickets to take me to visit friends? Deauna swears I won't be a burden. I hope not. I mean really I CAN shower and dress myself (a feat I ( Read more... )

So Wendy's wedding was finally this past weekend. It was an absolute blast and truly beautiful! Her and Chip's friends from Louisville were great and it was really fun getting to know them. The rehearsal and rehearsal dinner went well and the dance lessons were fun. I did have to force the groomsman I was paired with to dance. Poor guy. The wedding ( Read more... )

So I have now purchased a total of FOUR cameras in the last calendar year. I know crazy right. My very first camera was a Cannon digital elph. It was only like 2.4 megapixels or something with 3x optical zoom. But it was a good little camera and took lots of photos for me. When I found out I was going to China I knew I needed an update. So I ( Read more... )

So winter break is almost finished. We're in the last few week stretch. Ok ok so there are three full weeks left...I guess that means we're exactly halfway there. It's been nice sleeping in and reading a lot. I haven't been practicing near as much as I should ( Read more... )
