One event and then your day is compeltely different
I was walking out of work to get my bike to head to class. I wanted to get there a little early because I wanted to meet up with Kent (since our classes are close to each other). I took a short cut to my bike on some dirt, instead of the sidewalk, and the next thing I knew I was standing up after hitting my face right on the metal bars of the bike rack.
I tripped over a sprinkler and landed on my nose. People saw it happen and came over to try to help me. Of course I busted up into tears! That's just who I am. Every time people are worried about ME, I break down. Anyway, the guy who saw it happen said that I should go to the Health center and that he could walk me there (I'm tearing up now just thinking about it) and then the girl gave me a hug. Sometimes people are so nice.
I told them no, I think I'm okay, but I've never broken my nose before so the first thought was I'm probably going to have a crooked nose in the rest of our family pictures! (haha) That made me sad even more.
So I biked quickly to Kent's class and waited for him. I told him what happened and he was so worried, he wanted me to go to the health center too. I needed to calm down and then I would decide what to do. I went to the bathroom and it wasn't as bad as I imagined. I washed my face with water and went to class. While in class I texted my mom to see where I could go to get my nose checked. She said anywhere and was worried, but I didn't call her until after I got home.
Call Center work was in half an hour and so I tried calling them, but they wouldn't pick up, so I biked over there and told them I think I broke my nose. At first they were like, "You're nose is the easiest bone to break in the body." I was like, "okay, so I want to get it checked out." They said I didn't have to come in and that I could just have a sick day! Hallelujah. First day of not going in when I'm scheduled. It feels amazing! I only have 6 more days of that place (until I'm done)!!
I went home and took these pictures. You can kind of see it in the top and then the bottom picture is of me with an icepack.
Moral of the story: I will be fine and I remember thinking, now my whole day is going to be different just because I tripped. Remember to stay on the sidewalk.
3:19 a.m.
This is the latest I have ever stayed up. 2a.m. is normal to finish homework around. 3:19a.m. is not, at least for me. I started homework at 4p.m. and took a break at 11p.m. to go to the bathroom and go home and talk to my husband, then at 12:15a.m. I got back to work.
Midterms are the worst. But have a happy Wednesday!

Goodbye Fall
Hi.
Today was one of the last days of fall, I have a feeling. Things are getting colder and darker. I'm glad I was able to appreciate the color fall brings to Idaho.
I walked home in the rain and tried not to splash in the puddles. When I got upstairs and into the apartment, I heard Backstreet Boys and smelt some delicious food. Kent made dinner while listening to Backstreet Boys. Oh that man is my favorite.
By the end of this week we will be half way done with this semester of school. I have started looking for classes for next semester and that semester doesn't look very fun either. We are grateful for school. But it's hard at times.
One thing that we have been doing for a while is taking a walk on Sunday. It's so refreshing to get outside and notice the beauty of things (before they all die) and just talk. We are closer because of those walks.

Fall Colors
I. love. the. fall.
The only problem is that it comes and goes way to fast! There is not enough time to take pictures and appreciate the color. But I'm trying to as much as I can.
