RIP Grandpa Nielsen (Pop)

Thursday evening-
I went home and cleaned the house. Then I watched The X Factor & Grey’s Anatomy! Suki and I ended up not going on Skype. We got revolution monopoly in the mail! I tried to get everything ready for our camping trip. I didn’t really end up going to bed until about 11pm.

Friday-
We got everything gathered together for our trip then we headed to the grocery store quickly. Then off to Bryce Canyon. It was a fairly nice drive and we got there around 1pm. The in-laws and us just walked around a few shops and got to know the place a little bit more. Then we had ribs & baked potatoes for dinner. We played a little Yahtzee and sat by the fire; it got really cold at nights. Spencer and I decided to put our air mattresses in the Pilot to sleep in at night.

Saturday-
It wasn’t too bad sleeping in the Pilot but I had to get up and go out in the cold so many times to the bathroom that it got frustrating. Also my nose was always cold. We had “garbage” for breakfast. Basically that is all the leftovers thrown together but they’ve changed it into potatoes, cheese, eggs, and bacon. It was delicious! The camp showers were really nice! Then we decided to go look at some view points and go on a hike. We decided to walk peek-a-boo loop, we didn’t walk the whole thing but it was fairly nice. I’m just not used to walking so much so I was dying. Once we got back I took a 45 minute nap. Then we played monopoly, Spencer won like usual so then we stopped. I had a fun time but there were something’s I wish had been different but you can’t always change things. We just kind of laid around for awhile then built a fire and played rumbikub. Then we decided to sleep in the RV with the in-laws.

Sunday-
Sleeping in the RV was much better! I wasn’t as cold and there was a bathroom right in there if I needed to get up. Then we had hot chocolate and got ready for the morning. We hung out and then started to pack up all of our things. Then we headed out to walk some of the rim. It wasn’t too back of a little hike. We saw a baby lizard and held him. And of course Spencer did a few dare devil things but we all survived the trip. I was sad to leave but I was ready to be home in my own bed.
I found out on the way home that our ward boundaries are going to be changed on the 14^th… it will be good for our ward but I always am afraid it might change everything! I miss my nursery kids!
Then I also found out my Grandpa Nielsen (Pop) passed away. I’m glad we were able to see him a month ago. He wasn’t doing very well, they found out he had cancer in his throat and he just didn’t remember things very well. But it was good to know he had his sense of humor still when we were there.

My parents were heading up there this weekend but sadly didn’t make it in time but they will be there for his funeral. It was his time to go though. Then we unpacked everything and sat down to watch TV.

Monday-
I slept really good last night! Then I woke up to go do the laundry. And Debby Ryan posted her version of Taylor Swift’s “We are never getting back together” song today! I love it; check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7EahpPP7UM&feature=youtu.be
After laundry I got ready for work and watched some TV. Then when I got to work I talked to my boss for a little while about a few things. She said some really nice things about me. She things I’m really great at my job and said she would never want to lose me =]
Then the FedEx guy that comes in pretty much everyday said I don’t want this to sound weird but your face is looking really nice. You have the same problem as my daughters but yours is looking really nice.
I’m really confused because I haven’t had problems with my face for awhile until recently I’ve been getting more pimples (yuck). And how does he know what issues I have with my face, he seems me everyday but that doesn’t mean he knows my face. I said thank you with a smile because he said my face looked nice. I’m just really confused what he meant by my problem?
Anyways not too much happening at work just going about my day and figuring out a few things.
We are having free papa johns pizza tonight! Woot Woot
I love my husband very much and can’t wait until work is done so that we can have a nice Monday evening together.
I can’t wait until my hair stops shedding so DANG much, its ridiculous how much I’ve been shedding lately.

Happy October!
