06/19/87 Graduated High School!

6/19/1987

I did it!  I graduated.  All these months I've been waiting and out of nowhere it is here!  I don't even know where to begin.  i probably don't even remember it all!

Saturday Joel, Andrea, Brian and I went down to the beach.  It was cloudy and a little chilly but we had great fun anyway.  We went to Joel's beach house and ate lunch and then played volleyball on the beach, went in the water, took an ultra long walk, played games, let a toilet flush for half hour and then ate out.

It was the last time I got to see Andrea.  She went to Girl's State and won't be back.  It was really special.  I never realized how much people cared until recently.

Tuesday I had my last back appointment so Monday and Tuesday I did a swim workout.

I called Andy and talked to him for a few minutes one night.  I've gotten to see Karen loads this week which was great.

I went to wiffle ball at church on Tuesday and played my final YM/YW game!  Wednesday Tonya came from down south.  She stayed until today.  We went to Relief Society.

Thursday was packed with Graduation practice and Graduation.

After school Chuckie, Dina, Joel, Tonya, Eugene and me went to have pizza together. We talked about old times and people and places and the future.  It was a very happy time. In fact, graduation was really happy for me.  I'm so exciting to me moving on!  I don't feel a loss.  I know they'll all be there for me if I need them.  I was really surprised at how upset some people were.

Mike Fanelli's even seemed a little upset that I was going.  Brian Rappa surprise me with the kiss I never got after the prom.  Don kissed me goodbye and Time, Joel and Mike just gave me a huge hug.  Tammy and Karen and I did real well and none of us cried.  I'm not sad though.  Not now.  Of course the party ended at 1:30 a.m. and it took me until 3 a.m. to load my suitcase.  After 3 hours of sleep and writing all my thank you notes I'm still surviving.  Hopefully after I transfer I'll get a little sleep.  I'm really excited about getting to Utah though.

I want to make new friends and do great it school.  It would be great if I could lose some weight but that's not a priority right now.  I like me and I have to convince myself of that.  That's it for now!

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

08/20/25 Max out of pocket reached early again...hospital here we come

As is customary, within 7-10 days from returning from a trip we go to the hospital.  We stayed out of the ocean -- while we were in the Bahamas -- in order to keep Andy healthy. (We have determined that he has been getting infections through his swollen legs or cuts on his feet.)  Andy did not get infection from being naughty! haha BUT he somehow picked up COVID!  What the heck?! On Sunday last week (Aug 10) he started having a scratchy throat, voice. It got worse and most of last week he had laryngitis.  That resolved itself and he was feeling pretty fine. We had a full Wednesday. Around 9 p.m. he said he was feeling a little funky/woozy, whatever. Off?!   We went to bed and his temperature reading was still below normal but he was having body aches and shivering. We tried to sleep but he was clearly in pain and tossing and turning.  About 1:00 a.m. I got up and checked his temperature...100. Hmm. I looked at his legs and it looked like he might possi...
