Full month

So... October was a very odd mixture of amazingness and absolute horribleness.

~ This really cool guy named Robbie Hopkins started praying about courting me

~I came down with Swine Flu (yes, the real swine flu that everyone's freaked out about. However I just thought it was a horrible cold)

~Robbie chivilrously and gallantly took care of me while I was sick



~Went back to work as soon as I felt able. Mistake. I overdid it.

~That Friday Robbie talked to my Dad and on Saturday said he'd like to court me. I said I'd like to be courted by him.

~That next thursday my home in South Dakota caught on fire and was severely damaged. Thank God my family is fine

~That Saturday, due to stress and over doing it, I started passing out at work.

~Robbie took me to the Dr. who thought I had a blot clot, so we went to the Emergancy Room for 9 1/2 hours and after they did a cardiac MRI (heart scan) they announced nothing was wrong and at 2 am let me leave.

~That Monday my aunt Susan passed away.

~Thursday went to the Viewing in Ohio and met up with my family who drove out from South Dakota

~ Saturday evening Robbie suprised me and my family by driving up to Ohio. He stayed in a hotel that night and spent Sunday with us. :-D

~I drove back to school in the van someone gave my parents which they in turn gave to me

~My family went back home and my Dad was diagnosed with walking Pneumonia and my mom has had some health challenges as well. No word yet on what is to happen to the house: Either rebuilt or demolished.

~Sunday went shopping with my friend Svitlana and gave myself a minor concussion by hitting my head on my new car door. Didn't know I had hurt my head so bad, so Svitlana and I continued to make dinner for 30 people in a group that meets every Sunday. Was fun, but I was exhausted by the end of it.

(Sam, Svitlana, Robbie and me in the park the day after I was in the Emergancy Room)

~Have spent the week trying to figure out which assignment to work on first, as I'm now about half a semester behind on schoolwork. And Finals are next week. Booh yah.

So.

Now you know why I haven't written for so long.

Been a teensy bit busy. :-)

Well, having given you an overview, I think I will go do some reading then go to bed, as I work a double shift tomorrow. *sigh* Saturdays are simply not what the rest of the college world cracks them up to be. ;-)

p.s. the story behind the last two photo's is that I was wearing that scarf that Robbie is wearing in the photo's. Svitlana and Sam were taking pictures with us, and Svitlana is from ukraine. So she and I were playing with tying the scarf on our heads like married Eastern European ladies or Gypsy ladies. So then I wondered if Robbie would look like a Pirate if I put it on him. He did, and I decided to see how I'd look if I wore his had. So... this is him looking like Will Turner or Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. ;-)
