Well this has been such an interesting week in regards to Adam. So I thought I would share some of my insight with all you readers about him and well me....
First of all, Tuesday. My mom and I are at work when we get a call from my dad. He says he doesn't feel well so my mom leaves work to take him to the doctor and he ends up being checked into the hospital, where he still is at this moment. After work I go home and finish the second season of HEROES. (this is where my story gets juicy, but without much detail) I left my room and went to find out what the younger siblings wanted for dinner. Let's just say that the good child was working on her math homework like a good little chillun' and the other one...well we'll just say that it was awkward. Mac and Cheese! (only a few will understand this!)
Second of all, Wednesday. I come home from work and pull into the driveway to find my younger brother attempting to jump our sweet old truck. I honestly don't know what he wast thinking because he does not know how to drive a manual, and the one person who could teach him how is in the hospital...what an idiot. I love the kid, but come on.
Same day, Wednesday. Heather and I were watching TV in my mom and dad's room when Adam came in, grabbed the cordless phone off the bed, walked to the bathroom, and proceeded to talk on the phone while he....well you get the picture! Yeah.... definitely Cloroxed that phone!
Third of all, we are going to skip right over Thursday and go to Friday. I come home from work at approximately 2:45 to find no Adam and no Heather. I start the search for Heather because she has to go to piano at 3:00. Adam's one simple job was to be there when Heather got home from school and take her to piano. Around 2:50 Adam shows up, I find Heather across the street at the neighbors house. Its turns out Adam left Heather a note that he would be back at 2:45 to take her to piano and she should "just go over to Densley's". Come on Adam take some responsibility. I told him I would take Heather to piano. He peeled out of the driveway and sped off in Ramona, the olds, at about 45 miles and hour... Well that brings up the next subject. One that truly tears my heart out.
Same day, Friday, current moment. Heather and I have been having a splendid day gallivanting around the valley. We have gone almost everywhere, from the dollar store, to Roberts, to Cafe Rio. Well at our final destination, Macey's, I get a call from Adam and he wants me to hurry home. I asked him why he wasn't at the game yet and he tells me that he ripped the car door off. I laughed because the thought of Adam ripping a car door off like the Hulk came to mind. I asked him how and he said he wasn't going to tell me. After a series of conversations I find out that he was backing out of the garage and ripped the car door off... Well this is my theory of anger, I need to step up on my soap box for a second. " ADAM.....you don't' rip a car door off a car unless you are backing out at a high speed...a regular speed of backing out would not rip a car door off. Apparently you are and idiot and have injured my dear sweet Ramona. So Adam, if I was your mother I would ground you for at least 3 months!" Okay I am off the soap box, but where is Adam now you ask? Well of course he is where he wants to be, at the girls basketball game. EWWWWW!!!! If another child broke the garage door, ruined a car, and left their little sister home they would be home all night long!
All I have to say is whatever.... Adam one day karma is going to catch up to you and it won't be pretty.

I am NOT a college drop out!
So... being home ain't all that bad. Except......
No I didn't drop out of college and no I didn't get kicked out of college. Here's an announcement... "World listen up.... I Jenny Worthington am home from BYU-Idaho until April. And then I will return to college and get myself edumacated."
You see world, BYU-Idaho has a track system, summer-fall, fall-winter, winter-summer, you know whatever it may be. And I am on summer fall track. It's true the track system seems weird to most of the world, but I quite like it aside from the fact that everyone seems to think I am a no good young adult that is doing nothing with my life. But the truth is.. I have a plan and am working on it!
So there you have it.... I am not a college drop out!

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now!
Well...this little blurb goes out to all you people who ever have to go to the bathroom really really bad, but have to keep on holding it!
Tonight my family and I went out on a little adventure to the movies and out to dinner. We saw bedtime stories, a funny family film which I totally and completely enjoyed. Then our family decided to go out to dinner to Archibald's which was absolutely delicious. The only problem is that I am addicted to fluids...mainly water. I drank three glasses of water and one glass of raspberry lemonade, resulting in me really needing to you know, to the bathroom.
Let's just say that all the way home I got a really hard time about how I should have gone before I left and I will admit that they are right, but a girls gotta go when a girls gotta go.
One last thing, a word of advice if I may... Go before you leave.

Home Again
I moved back home last Friday. Weird! I n my mind it seems that i am only home for the weekend and will be going back to my dear sweet Rexburg any day now. But, this is so not true. I am now home in snowy Utah until April, don't get me wrong, I love it here. But, I am going to miss being able to do whatever I want and having a life. I am already bored. My daily schedule consists of waking up, going to work at 9, coming home, eating dinner and going to bed. Wow...exciting! No really I like my job and work with a lot of really nice people. But, I need to find a new hobby to keep me occupied while I am here in Utah, so if anyone has any suggestions make sure to let me know!!!

Tid Bits
This week I have learned a lot.
First of all, did you know that when you lose weight your feet shrink so that your body is stable? I know, I was baffled at this also. It doesn't make much sense to me seeing that in ninth grade I had feet two shoe sizes bigger than they are now? But, this is how it was explained to me. I was still growing then and I have since stopped growing. Still makes no sense, but whatever.
Second, a good haircut can make a world of difference. Yes, Amy and I went out on a whim and both cut our hair. And...I absolutely love it! I feel like a new woman.
Third, as tragic as it is, it's still funny when your roommate drops their cell phone in the toilet while the toilet is being flushed. Yes, this did happen. My roommate Sharlee flushed the toilet and when she turned around her cell phone proceeded to fall from her pocket into a sea of water and human waste. It continued down the sewer system to make friends with dead fish, poop, rotten veggies, people's spare change, and anything else that makes its way into the sewer. As sad as this is, I think its hilarious that Amy told me to go help Sharlee. What am I supposed to help her with? It was already to late by the time I arrived on the scene, Sharlee's cell phone was long gone, but we flushed the toilet one last time for good measure. Oh Sharlee!
Fourth, boys will never get the hint. Good hints, bad hints, nothing. They will never get it! (someone should tell them!)
Oh life!

Simple Pleasures, SImple Minds, My simple life!
Oh simple pleasures...
Upon arrival home from church I came to the realization of how simple I really am and how the simplest things make me laugh harder than they probably should. My day began with a very simple laugh. I was slumbering away in my bed when there was a knock on the door, and I sarcastically yelled "If its someone coming to get fast offerings shoot them." And of course it was and after this remark left my mouth I realized how truly awful it was and that that would just be ridiculous, so I made a small chuckle to myself of how lame and rude that was. I realized how much I am not a morning person and hate being woke up.
Then I decided that I was hungry so I proceeded to eat Steele's left over ribs from Applebee's and I realized that ribs aren't something humans usually eat for breakfast and yet I was so happy about it. Yet again a very simple pleasure for my simple mind. But as the day went on things only got better.
I began to get ready for church and my roommate Elaine was getting dressed and wanted to wear my ever so professional looking sweater vest. She asked if her outfit looked good and I just had to laugh, it looked truly ridiculous and I am still laughing about it as I think. Oh hilarious! (no offense Elaine, but honestly!)
Then I was listening to the relief society lesson and the girl in front of me started sniffing the Bubblicious gum the teacher had passed around to see which kind she wanted. Don't get me wrong but I don't want a piece of bubble gum that's been practically up someone's nose, and she deliberated about it for like 5 minutes, that's a lot of time to be sniffing bubble gum!
In Sunday school Jordan's stomach kept growling super loud which brought a grin to my face, but I personally loved when Elaine was talking about Adam and Eve and her concluding sentence was "And that's how we began." I don't know why but I started to tear up with laughter and it just made me extremely happy (not mention giggly).
I won't go into extreme detail about all the simple things I love and how hilarious some things are to me, but I'm not sure if its normal for someone to laugh over an answering machine message for a good half an hour. (oh heaven's Charlie Zollinger!) Or if it's healthy to laugh about plunging toilets. If college kids should really love watching cartoons and ninja turtles, drinking vanilla milk, and playing candyland, but all I know is its the simple things in life that bring me so much joy.
Simple pleasures for simple minds!

The Lord's Constant Hand
I decided since its been a really long time since I updated everything it was about time I did. Well, a lot has happened the past few weeks, well actually months. I've been increasingly busy with school and absolutely love it here at BYU-Idaho. Being here at this school has been more than a blessing in my life. While being here I am constantly reminded of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and His great atoning love for me. I feel the spirit daily and know with all my heart of the truthfulness of God's eternal plan for me. Each week as I attend our campus "devo" (devotional) I am reminded of all the people and leaders of the church who are so in tune with everything going on in the world and know exactly what to say, teach and exemplify to help me specifically.
I have learned that I can turn to the Lord for anything, everything and know that he always has a hand in what I am doing. He created everything so who better to go to than Him when I have questions or problems with anything, including homework.
A cool experience I want to share is only part of what is testified to me daily as I rely on the Lord for strength and guidance. Me, being a freshmen didn't know that I should not take a class at 7 am. I am not a morning person and I know better than to sign up for an early class, but I insisted on doing it. I signed up for a New Testament class on Tuesday's and Thursday's at 7am. For the first few weeks I really struggled to stay awake during class and was constantly tired and would do the typical head bob. The final straw of all my frustration was when I realized I forgot about a test for the class. I decided something needed to change and that I needed to be awake and alert in order to obtain the knowledge I wanted so badly. Late one night I humbled myself to go to the Lord with what seemed like a silly problem to me. I kneeled down next to my bed and went to my Heavenly Father in sincere prayer asking for help to stay awake so that I may learn in my early morning class the next day. The next morning I woke up and kneeled again asking again for His help. Remarkably, with a lot of effort, I stayed awake all of class and have every class since. I continue to learn and grow and recognize my Heavenly Father's love for me more and more every day. I'm so grateful that I can go to Him for anything even when it seems silly and meaningless to me, I know that my Heavenly Father cares and will help me in ALL that I do.
I wonder often where I would be without the gospel and know that I would not be anywhere without the Lord and His love for me individually and his love for my family. Each and every day I am grateful for the many blessings I have and the gospel truths of which I know to be true.
