Let Me Reflect

Today....is a cleaning day. One of Jordan's mission companions from Arizona is coming to stay with us for a few days. Elder Biggs. So needless to say, I'm a little OCD about what my apartment looks like when people come over, so I am cleaning all day today :[ and making a nice dinner (hopefully it's nice) AND hopefully I have time to straighten my hair amongst that mix of events. It should be fun though to have Derrik here, he's one of Jordan's best friends, so a visit makes him happy. And when he's happy, I'm happy!
So besides our joyous next few days, I just thought I would share a little bit more about my thoughts lately. It's back to school time, people. Not quite sure how I feel about that. Jordan's family had a back-to-school barbeque last night which was a ton of fun! Hopefully I can get pictures posted soon, I'm sure Keisha and Lori got a ton of really cute ones! I love seeing my niece and nephews every chance I can get, they make us laugh and smile every second. I love them so much. But yeah, I'm a little nervous to go back to school. I'm taking 16 credits this time, so I guess we will just see how I balance school, family, and a hubby :] This is a first...but that's life! I'll keep you updated on our first day of school! (possibly take some pictures if Jordan will let me;)
I've also been thinking about my old college days with roommates and not knowing anybody in Dixie. It's everywhere on Facebook: people saying it's their first day, showing pictures of their bedrooms, bath area, first meal, first friends....ect. Kinda gets annoying...but fun for them I guess! I never really did that, I just had my mind set on school and that's about it, which may or may not be a good thing. I mean, I did miss out on all the fun stuff college has to offer, but all for a good cause I presume. (Although I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.) All together, I'm just SO glad I don't have to meet new roomies, change apartments, and pay 75 cents for a batch of laundry. I'm so HAPPY to be married and past that!!

Lastly, yesterday gave me quite a scare.

Mika rolled his truck.

I didn't have my phone with me, and Jordan came home for lunch and said that Mika rolled his truck. I told him no, cause Jordan always teases and sometimes I just can't take him seriously. But he said he was serious and I still didn't believe him, so he told me to go chech my phone, that my dad had been trying to call me. So I got my phone and sure enough, I had a few missed calls. Instantly a boulder forms in my throat. I call my mom and she told me that they were at the hospital and Mika was getting a Cat Scan right now. Then she told me the story about how him and Caleb Monson was mowing lawns that day, and he had drove down the canal bank by Flying J to where they dump their grass clippings. Well, they were coming back, and the dirt road had just been grated, and Mika hit some loose gravel and started to drift towards the canal bank. I think Mika got scared and turned the wheel the other way, over correcting, and flipped it down the bank on the other side. Well it rolled once and landed on it's top. The hood of the truck came down and the steering wheel came in towards him and he got knocked out cold. Caleb crawled out and came around to Mika's side and somehow pulled him out too and called 911. He thought he was dead, so once Mika started waking up, Caleb hung up the phone lol. Next thing that happened, Mika called my parents and they came and got them and took them to the hospital. Caleb had to get 2 stitches in this shoulder, and Mika had 4 staples in his knee, a concussion, whiplash, and a compressed disk in his back. After the hospital, he went home to rest and had plenty of visitors all day long. I'm SO THANKFUL he's ok. It makes so scared to think about how easily accidents happen. Everyday I think about my dad or Jordan, and how much they drive with work, and I just pray that they come home safe, cause you honestly just never know! But I think that the moral of this story is to wear your seatbelts! Both boys were wearing theirs! Honestly, ever since Mika was a little kid, he never gets into a car without wearing his seatbelt. He's so good at clicking every single time, even if the destination is just down the street. I definitely need to be more like him and wear my seatbelt. I guess some lessons are learned the hard way!
But with that said...it's already noon o' clock and I got to get cleaning! Hope everybody has a good day!
