Week 6 - 1 Day Left!!!!

hey Everyone. This is going to be short. I'm tired, exhausted, down, and not in good spirits. My damn roommate sucks and the snoring is not getting any better!! She kept me up from 2-4 am. I was so freaking tired this morning. We did Saddle and the hike was awesome. Soooooo tiring but well worth it! I was dead when I got back. I skipped yoga and tried to take a nap but that didn't happen. My phone kept ringing. Ugh! After that, I went to lunch. Lunch was pizza and I was so tired it was hard to stay awake at lunch. I ate about half of it. After that, I went and played tennis with Robin. Man, she's not very good! It's kinda funny playing with her. She's this awesome fitness instructor that's not that great at tennis! Anyways, we usually just volley back and forth but she wanted to play some games. I beat her twice!!!!! I was soooo excited! After that, I went to circuit training. By then, I was soo tired I could barely do it. After that class, I put on my swimsuit and took a nap at the pool. Dinner tonight was cafe salad which was good. It's full of chicken which i love. After dinner, I came to my room. It's 7:00 and I'm going to sleep as soon as I finish this!


I'm so sad. I want to come home but I'm going to miss everyone so much. I already cried once today when I was talking to Sharon. Tomorrow is going to be a really hard day/night. Tomorrow night i have to say bye to Sharon and Trevor and Friday morning I have to say bye to Deb and Paige. =( Ugh, I'm soooo sad! I love these people so much!

Week 6 - 2 Days left!!!

Hey Everyone! First off, thanks to Stephy and Grovesie!! I love love love your comments!!!

So, it's my last week and it's soooooo bittersweet. I'm super excited to get home but I'm going to miss everyone here sooooo much! I'm already getting upset! You just get so close with these people and you get attached! I'm mainly talking about the employees here at FR. I'm dreading telling everyone bye!!!!!! =(

Anyway, last night I fell asleep at 8:00 and didn't get outta bed until about 7:00 this morning! So I definitely got caught up from the night before! I wore earplugs to block out the snoring. Since I fell asleep first, I couldn't hear her. I did wake up once and she was going at it, but I quickly fell asleep! So, I was definitely happy about that! Today's breakfast was a muffin so I had cereal. The hike was Paradise Rim or Hilo. Ohmigod!!! The Hilo hike they drop you off at the bottom of Stop Sign, then you have to hike to Paradise Rim, climb the damn cliff, then do the Paradise Rim hike!! Oh man it was a killer!!! I burned 1400 calories which is a lot. I normally only average 1200-1300 so I was happy! After that, I came back to the room, made a couple phone calls and went to Yoga. That was good, but a little boring. After yoga was lunch. We had turkey sandwiches which i love! But lately, the food hasn't been tasting very well. I've only been eating about half. I dunno if i'm getting sick or it or what. After lunch, Paige and I played tennis. It was awesome, as usual. I love her sooo much!! and I love when we play tennis. We did really well today! Some people you just click with on the court!! We planned Thursday to leave earlier so we get more time. Now, we only get about 30-35 minutes! After tennis, I went straight to Cardio Intervals. The class was great as usual. It kicked my ass and I ran some in it so that made me happy! I burned 500. After that was total toning. It went great too. I think Sharon's gonna miss me. She kept laughing at me and talking to me. I said, "yourrrrrr gonnna missss me" and she said, "i know, don't remind me!" hahah I looooove her!!! I'm gonna cry like a lil baby when I tell her bye! She is amazing! After that, I skipped Stretch and laid out for about 30 minutes. Didn't get too much sun but it was relaxing! I went to dinner and it was lasagna and chocolate covered strawberries! Delicious! I did eat all my dinner. After that, I got in the hot tub for about 30 minutes, showered and now I'm in bed watching Biggest Loser! I'm exhausted. Tomorrow's hike is Saddle which is incredibly tough!!! Only the advanced and fast intermediate do the hike! I'm scared shitless!!!! I talked to Paige and she told me she left Deb on Intermediate for me!!!! That made me happy! :) See, I just love these people. I'm soo scared to come home. I want to because I miss everyone so much. But, I could definitely come back soon for another 2-3 weeks. I'm definitely planning on coming back in the fall. I just love this place! So, anyone that wants to join me start saving up! It's an amazing place and you learn sooooo much about yourself! Ugh, I'm getting upset. I don't want to leave sometimes! :( I'm so scared I can't do this when I get home. Oh man, I'm freaking out! I'm going to just stay! Kidding, but I'm shaking in my boots! Just like ol Stan! Eeeeeeeeek! Okay, I'm alright! I can't wait for Friday to get home!!! I can't wait to have Benny JJ and Brady Bear pick me up!!! I missssssssss them! :) Ahhhhhhh exciting! I talked to Kris tonight... I miss him!!! I'm ready to come home! This place just isn't the same!

Week 6 - 3 days left!!!!

Hey All!!! I have had a very interesting night/day. Last night, my lovely roommate snores like a freaking freight train! It was pure hell! So, by about 11 pm, I grabbed my blankie and headed to lobby. I was going to sleep on the couch in the lobby! I got settled in on the couch and almost asleep and Trevor wakes me up. He was like, what the heck are you doing in here? So, I explain that her snoring is atrocious. He's so nice! He tells me how awful he feels and comes up with a brilliant idea for me to sleep in the massage room on the table. So him and Eric take me in there and get me situated. It was funny. It was like they were tucking me in. haha Trevor even turned on the massage cd so I had soothing music. It was quite comical! But, I quickly fell asleep and had happy dreams. Despite a couple of times where I got a lil crazy in my sleep and almost fell off the table! I woke up and went to breakfast. It was eggs again. I ate cereal and was off to conquer Stop Sign one last time!!! I was soooo happy with the results! I started with vengence! And, towards the end, I didn't think I could beat it. Well, about the last half mile, I looked at my watch and realized I could actually beat my time! So I kicked it into high gear, Sharon got me running and I beat it by 2 minutes!!!! I was soooooooo happy! I literally hit my knees as soon I got there from exhaustion and excitement! As soon as I get there, the van is leaving to shuttle people back down to last mile to do the hardest part again! I literally hit my knees 20 seconds ago and they are yelling at me to get in the van to go back down! As I'm being forced into the van, I'm yelling at Sharon "I hate you!" I get out and head back up that damn hill. I walked half the way up with Deb!! My favorite guide everrrrrr! I was so proud of her! She ran a marathon this weekend and got first in her age group! She told me that mile 15-22 were as steep as our last 1.3 mile on Stop Sign! WOW! She's awesome! Anyway, I hung out with her and found out she was doing Intermediate all week so I was happy! I was afraid Paige would move her to 101 or Stop Sign. I made it back up that damn hill, turned around, headed down again and got to the van right at 10:30. I burned 1800 calories!!!!! Is that not absolutely ridiculous!!!!! I was dying I was sooooooooooooo excited!!!! After the hike, I hit my bed and took a nap! I was soo tired from not sleeping the night before I skipped yoga. Lunch was a burrito which I only ate about half. I didn't particularly love it but oh well. My first class today were Circuit Training. I decided to kick it up a little bit and burned 650 calories in that class! That is the most ever! I highest was 550! I was soooo happy! I ran the whole 2 minutes every time on the treadmill so I was super happy about that too! I was drenched in sweat. I literally looked like how they look on the Biggest Loser. It was just pouring off me! After that was Kickboxing. I also kicked it up a notch in that class and burned 620! That's also another record!!! I was just setting all kinds of records today!!! Anyways, I went to stretch, showered and went to dinner! We had chicken and wasabi mashed potatoes! probably my fav meal!!! After dinner, I went to the front desk and got ear plugs for tonight. I also went and sat in Trevor's office and talked to him. Sharon came in and we all hung out. I just love her!!! She is probably my favorite person here! I talked to them until about 7 and came to the room! I'm typing this and going straight to bed! I'm exhausted!!!! Bye everyone!!! Cant wait to come home and see everyone!!

Week 6 - Day 36

Yeah baby!!! I've lost 30 lbs!!!!!!!! I'm finally feeling skinny!!!

I'll update more later!


Sunday 8:06 pm

Hey everyone! Saturday night was really fun! I went to Chucks and actually didn't eat all my calories! I was proud of myself! After Chucks, we went to the movies and saw The International. It was really good. After that, we all came home and went to bed. We were going to lose an hour of sleep so we all wanted to go to bed early. I had to be at breakfast at 7:30 to eat with Kris before he left.

Well, it's Sunday morning now. I got up at 7:30 and met Kris in the lobby. We hung out and talked to everyone for a while. He lost 56.5 lbs in 8 weeks!!! Isn't that crazy??? I have been begging him for two weeks to show me a picture from his week 1. He finally emailed it to me this morning and I about died!!! He looks soooooooo different! I immediately called him and freaked out! Anyways, we met back down in the lobby again, hung out, and then said bye! It was so sad!!! I was crying. It was terrible. Actually, Denae and Sharon were crying too! We gave him a "wall" goodbye. We follow them outside and stand on this brick wall and wave goodbye. Yeah, it's really corny but sweet! We sat outside for awhile and talked and cried. Yeah, it was a pretty depressing morning! After that, I sat in the lobby and worked on a puzzle and hung out with McKel, the front desk girl and Denae. Yeah, they're my only friends left. Kris was officially the last friend I had here. =( Ugh! I could cry thinking about it! Anyway, all afternoon I spent in the lobby working on the puzzle. It was actually pretty fun! I like doing puzzles and I get to talk to everyone! I went to dinner at 5:30. I think FR is losing their touch. They were 25 minutes late with dinner! We had "warm pasta salad with vegetables". It was good besides the veggies in it! After dinner, I hung out in the lobby again, talked to Sharon some more and then hit the room. I called to check on Kris to make sure he was still alive and driving. He was in Arizona. That was my day! Pretty boring and depressing, huh? Lets just say, I'm definitely ready to come home!!!!!

Week 5 - Day 34

2:30 pm

Well, today I got up for breakfast. It was cold cereal which I love. It was freezing cold this morning and rainy so I did not do Stop Sign. I went back to bed! Which is terrible now I feel like a lazy bum!! I finished watching my movie today. I went to lunch at the regular time which was hummus. I hate the damn hummus. I was calculating up my calories and I actually get to eat 875 calories tonight at dinner! But I'll probably only eat 800. I'm excited! that's sooo much food at Chuck's!!! I'm looking forward to going to Chuck's tonight for the last time. I love that place! Today at lunch, I was trying to convince Chris to move to Illinois and work on our farm! haha I think he thinks I'm crazy!!!!

Week 5 - Day 33

Hey Everyone! Sorry I didn't write yesterday, I just wasn't in the mood! Anyway, Friday was a good/tiring/sad day!! We had french toast yesterday with strawberry and peaches in between the 2 pieces with a strawberry-peach sauce on top instead of syrup. it was sooooo good!!! oh i loved it!!! i told katie how good it was and how she needs to keep making it!!! anyways, after breakfast we had the hike, Camelback. I really like Camelback. It's a fun hike. Last time we did Camelback, I did really well. But, today, I was just dead. It kicked my ass and it made me mad!!! My ankle was killing me from yesterday's fall. My body is exhausted. I'm frustrated!!! Anyways, I did make it through the hike. We actually had a faster group than normal so we climbed this other huge hill! I almost didn't do it but I'm soooo glad I did. I'm going to post all the pictures from the past couple of weeks that I haven't done. Anyway, after the hike, I was beat. So I took a nap. Lunch was chili topped baked potato. it was alright. the potato is huge but there's not much chili on it. anyways, lunch was fun. chris and doug make me laugh! after lunch, i sat outside by the pool with chris and we just hung out and talked. the classes today were circuit training and hip hop. i went to circuit training and it was good. doug was yelling at me when i was on the treadmill "come on betsey kick it up, lets go a lil faster!" haha it was funny. then, when i was on the eliptical, he'd say "what level are ya on" i replied 10" and he yelled "i wanna see 12" hahah it was so funny! definitely kept circuit training interesting!!! it was a fun day. after that, i skipped hip hop and did open gym. after that, i came back to my room and got ready for dinner. i actually fixed my hair and dressed up. i had 3 different people tell me I either looked really pretty or they loved my hair! So that definitely made me feel really good about myself and put me in a great mood! dinner was a boca burger and corn on the cob. I LOVED IT!!!!!! that's my favorite meal here!!! after dinner, chris wanted to go to GS and that's always good with me!!!! So we went and it was great as usual!!! I'm going to miss GS so much when I get home!!! After GS, we came home. I put in a movie and watched about half of it and went to sleep! That was my day! It was a good day but tiring!

Week 5 - Day 32

7:45

Well, I didn't get much of a nap. Susan was finishing packing and I was talking to her most of the time. Its soooooo sad. I do not want her to leave! And, I'm getting sad thinking about Chris leaving on Sunday. UGH! I just hate this! Anyways, lunch today was some black or white bean soup (something like that) and a tomato and onion sandwich. I only ate the bread. After lunch, Susan left which sucked. Chris, Clare and I sat in the lobby after and talked to Sharon. I was telling her about my crazy hike today! Paige and I went to the park today at 1:45 like usual. We had a blast! I just love going. I ended up burning 575 calories in 45 minutes! That is just absolutely crazy!!! It's so funny. When we have about 3 minutes left, Paige will say, "ok, 2 more volleys" and then after 2, she or I will say, "okay one more" well, those 2 turn into about 10 because both of us don't want to quit!! Anyways, we both had a great time and I had to run straight to treading. I freaking hate that class. I was already exhausted from tennis and now I have to go to treading. UGH! Anyways, I was talking to Paige about how I can't get my heartrate up as high in class than I can when I play tennis or hike. She told me to go down a level or 2 and increase my RPMs. I normally do a Level 15 with about 65-75 rpms. She told me to level to a 13 with 85-90 rpms. Well, I did that but still only burnt about 450 and my heartrate was high but not as high as normal. So after class I was talking to her again and she told me I have outgrown the bike and have to move up to the treadmill or eliptical. so i'm definitely dreading next weeks class. Anyways, I gave treading every last ounce of energy I could possibly exert so I quit for the day and went to my room. I literally did not think I was going to make it through my shower. Yeah, i was that tired. So I took a nap and almost did not go to dinner I was so tired but my stomach was telling me it was time to eat. Treading makes you extremely hungry afterwards and i only had bread at lunch and nothing else so I was dying. i was going to eat a orange but i did not even have the energy to eat it. I know I sound pathetic but I challenge all of you guys to come here and do what I did today! it was pure exhaustion! Dinner was really good. It was stuffed chicken and wild rice which i love!!! After dinner, we went to GS for Clare's last time. They shorted us 63 calories for the day and the dessert was 157 so I could get a small GS which was awesome! I got peanut butter cup and cake batter!!! We talked about having game night tonight but I was so tired. I'm going to bed as soon as I get done typing this which is 8:00 my time! I'm dyyyyyyyying!

Week 5 - Day 32

11:39 am

Hey Everyone. Today so far, has been quite the day. I woke up feeling tired and blah. And when that happens, I do NOT want to hike. I was just not in the mood. In fact, I almost didn't hike. I contemplated staying in the gym and then thought, that's no fun. I decided to hike but wasn't in the mood. When Paige gets up to explain the hike, she says, "it's a very challenging hike". Well, mentally, that just got me down and i thought, i can't do this. i literally just didn't have it in me. Clare was doing 101 today so I jumped over there with her. Well, my good ol buddy Deb (the hiking guide) runs over, grabs my arm and says "absolutely not you are NOT doing 101. you are going with us" i'm like, noooooooo. she literally dragged me out the door with her arm through mine and forced me to do intermediate which is Volcano. I have heard horror stories about Volcano. I'm just not mentally prepared for this. It was the most difficult hike I have ever did in my entire life. Physically, emotionally, mentally. It was ridiculous. I stumbled in a cactus and got it stuck in my big toe. So my foot was sore for most of the hike. Then, towards the end, I completely wiped out and fell. I rolled my ankle so now I have a sore ankle. When I fell, I was soooo tired and emotional, I started crying. Not from the pain but from everything building up. It was the first hike where I literally did not think I was going to make it. I know I say all the time on the hike, "oh i'm dying.. or oh i'm so tired" but this was completely different. I was completely spent. By the end of the hike, I had absolutely nothing left. I got back to the van I checked my calories. I burned 1750 calories. That is the most I have ever burned on a hike. That is literally half a pound which is amazing. When I got back to the van, I almost started crying again when I told Deb about my calories. Its just really emotional when you complete something so amazing and yet, feel so exhausted. We got back to FR and all my friends were hanging out in the lobby. They all heard about the cactus and were checking on me which was really sweet!!! Danae came up and talked to us and she heard about the cactus and was checking on me!!! I was thinking, Man, News travels fast in this place! I was talking about how I fell and it seems like everyone fell today! Susan and Jeanette both fell 2x! So I felt better about that. I talked to John (in reservations) and I get a new roommate on Sunday which sucks. I don't want a roommate. UGH! Now i'm laying down and i'm going to take a nap before lunch. I'm EXHAUSTED!

Week 5 - Day 31

Welp, another day has gone.. it was a half good, half bad day! i woke up in a bad mood. i started out on the hike in a terrible mood. and let me tell ya, when you start off a hike in a bad mood, it's going to be a long and exhausting hike. well, the hike sucked and i was exhausted afterwards. when we got back from the hike, susan had a text that her aunt died. so she has to leave. well, i'm very very upset. i don't want my roomie to leave me! now im going to be all alone on my last week... i'm so glad i booked my ticket for friday and not sunday. anyways, after the hike we skipped yoga and aquacise so we could hang out. then we went to lunch and she gave everyone the bad news. after lunch we sat outside by the pool and talked for a while. we headed to the room and i watched her pack for a while. i went to the classes today. i felt like a dork. sharon came up to me outside in between classes to see what was up and i started crying! sheesh... i'm pathetic. but i quickly sucked it up. anyway, when we were telling McKel about susan leaving and how i'm upset, McKel told me she'd be my new friend next week! hahaha anyway, after all the classes, we showered and got all dressed up and Me, Susan, Chris, Doug and Clare went to Red Mountain Spa to eat dinner!!! It was so good! I drank 3 beers and was a lil drunk! Chris drank 2 glasses of wine and got giggly. it was so funny! we had a great time! after dinner we played Taboo which was also fun. After taboo, Chris, Susan and I layed in the lobby and just chatted and reminisced. It was fun. Chris promised to take care of me for the remaining 3 days! haha anyways, that was my day. pretty depressing but it got better towards the end! tomorrow is gonna suck! i don't wanna say goodbye.... i hate saying goodbye to people!

Depressed!

Ohmigosh. We got back from the hike today and Susan had a text from her brother. Her aunt died. She's flying back home tomorrow and not coming back!!!!!! I'm soooooo sad!!! UGH! She leaves Thursday and Chris leaves Sunday! I'm going to be alll alone next week! ohmigod!!! I'm about to start crying right now!!! :( :( :( :(

Week 5 - Day 30

Hey Everyone. Once again, I had a fantastic day!!! I really do enjoy life here! And, I have the best friends! I literally laugh all the time! Anyway, today started out like normal. For breakfast, we had a parfait. It was better than the usual parfait, but, it doesn't fill me up like the normal breakfasts do! Anyway, after breakfast, it was time for my FAV hike!!! Third Ravine!!!! AND, it went awesome!!! I stayed with fast intermediate the entire time! I was so proud of myself! AND, I met a new guide named Megan and I love her!!! She's really hyper and really positive. We got along fantastic! She was with me the entire time so it worked out well! After the hike, I was flying high! I was in the best mood ever! I went to yoga and I can tell I'm getting better at it. After yoga, we all hung out outside. It was soo nice outside! We are just loving the sunshine! We went to lunch and lunch today was a turkey sandwich! Katie (kitchen worker) is awesome! She remembered to make my sandwich plain before I even asked! After lunch, we hung outside again! Then we went to the park for open gym. It wasn't as much fun as I expected. Paige and I played with this married couple and they weren't very good. I didn't burn as many calories as normal. I'm going to quit telling people how fun it is that way Paige and I can play by ourselves. hahaha that's terrible, huh?! I wanna play sometime with Chris! He is really good! And he hits hard! I think we'd do really good playing against each other. After open gym, we got back about 5 minutes late for our first class. I ran into cardio intervals late but I had a lot of energy. I decided to hop on the eliptical and give it a try for this one class. Well, I hear its a killer. I think, "ahhhhh, i have some energy, i can tackle this machine. lets try it, why not!!!" well, let me just tell ya, that damn machine kicked my ass!!!! it was good though! i actually think i prefer the treadmill over that eliptical! anyways, after that class i went to total toning! It was the same, hard but good. I decided to skip stretch so I could shower. I ended up talking to Susan the entire time. hahaha and we called Chris a couple of times. It's so funny. He's in the room right above us and the walls are SOOO thin here you can hear anything! Well, I went up to Chris's room and called Susan and had her talk in a couple different tones to see if Chris can hear what we say. He thinks we're CRAZY. Its so funny. BUT, we talk about him and sometimes don't want him hearing... sooooo.... hahahaha well, i showered and went to dinner. Dinner was enchiladas and chocolate covered strawberries and both was awesome!!!! After dinner, we sat outside again and talked to Chris. We then went upstairs to Chris's room and he played his guitar a little bit for us. After that, we came downstairs and turned on the biggest loser and just hung out. It was a good night! I'm ready for tomorrow! Sometimes, I get kind of mad. During the day, all these funny things happen and I want to mention them in the blog because they'll make everyone laugh but I can never remember them by the end of the day! OH well!

Week 5 - Day 29

Hey Everyone!! Despite my parents leaving and breaking my heart, I've had the best day! I am in an awesome mood!!! This morning I got up for breakfast at 7:00. We had an Egg McMuffin which i kind of like. I give it about a 5 out of 10. They use egg beaters, which I like, but I need some cheese to balance it out! Well, of course, you don't get cheese here!!! Anyways, I ate it and went back to my room. My parents and I were going to hike on our own today so I didn't have to be ready until 9:00. So I went to breakfast at 7:00 am in my pjs. My game plan was to go back to bed. Well, I got back to bed and couldn't SLEEP!!! I was so mad but oh well. So I messed around, got online, booked my plane ticket home, and just hung out. I went down to the lobby early to work on the puzzle and kill some time. They showed up at about 10ish and we went to Chuckwalla! I'm sooo happy my mom finally got to do a real hike with me! They both loved it which was awesome!!!! So that was really, really fun!!! After the hike, we ran some errands and went to Subway!! After that, I took them to Golden Spoon!!! They finally got to taste it! And.... they loved it!!!!! After GS, we headed back to FR. It was time to say bye :( Ugh, I was dreading it.. I loved having them there so much!!! But, it is nice to get back to a routine! I like my schedule now :) Well, Chris told me last night he wanted to say bye (which i thought was so sweet!) Anyway, We got back to FR and I called Chris. He came down and said bye and then I said bye and I had to go to class.. :( I didn't cry. I was very proud of myself!!! I think my momma was about to cry too! haha after they walked out, I was walking to class and Chris was standing outside and I was like, "I NEED A HUGGG" hahaha he thinks i'm crazy! Anyway, I went to Circuit Training. It went really good. I really pushed myself. I forgot to wear my watch today so I was mad about that. I went to Kickboxing after that and I gave it everything I had. I literally beat the shit outta that bag! Inbetween classes, I went to my room to get my calorie watch. I burned 575 calories! That is the most I've ever burned in that class ever!!!! I was soooo happy! And, for some strange reason, I am in a great mood! I've noticed I'm always in a good mood here! I don't know why. I mean, I'm a relatively happy person but I'm never in a bad mood here! It's strange... Anyways, I went to Stretch today, which is something I never do anymore. But I'm going to try to do that all week. It is really relaxing and it feels good! Anyways, dinner was potato salad and bbq chicken! The chicken was awesome!!! The potato salad, not so much... Oh well. After dinner, we played Taboo and once again, had a blast!!! Now I'm back in the room and watching The Bachelor! I'm not sure about this show anymore. I've heard some bad rumors about what's going to happen!!!

Week 5 - Day 28

Ohmigosh, I cannot believe it is week 5 already!!!! I can't believe it.. Time is flying by!!!! Today, I woke up at 8:45 for breakfast and was definitely feeling a lil rough! I ate breakfast fast and then headed right back to bed. I fell back asleep until noon when I finally got up and showered. Mom picked me up at 12:30 for lunch at Subway. haha I think they are getting tired of subway by now!!! I was so excited. I got a salad and it was only 300 calories! I had an extra 100 calories to spend on CHIPS!! My first bag of chips in 4 weeks! It was awesome! After subway, we went to 2 malls and walmart to buy some things. After that, we drove around and I showed them the entire stop sign hike! They couldn't believe it! Dad said there was no way he could of completed the entire stop sign hike! That made me feel better! hahaha at least I can beat him at stop sign! anyways, we made it back to FR at 5:00. I talked to Danae and arranged for Mom and Dad to eat with everyone at FR so that was really good!! We had the awesome pasta tonight that I love!!!! It was just so nice to have my Mom and Dad there and see how I have been living my life for the past month. We skipped dessert and went to Golden Spoon. I was pissed. They were closed!!!! I have been talking about this place non-stop and they were closed!!! After that, they brought me back to FR and I headed to my room. I packed up a lot of clothes I'm not wearing here and stuff I don't need and am sending it home with my parents. Chris and Clare are leaving this coming Friday and I'm dreading it. I had saying goodbye! I refuse to make friends with anymore new people this week because saying goodbye sucks so bad!!! Anyway, That was my awesome, amazing weekend!!! I loved it!!!!!!

Week 4 - Day 27

Hey Everyone! I have just had the absolute best weekend ever!!! I LOVE my parents being here!!!!!! Saturday, we got up and had cereal for breakfast. Saturday morning = stop sign hike which SUCKKKKKS! I woke up not feeling too well... I was afraid my sickness was coming back! During the stop sign hike, Dad started not feeling well and getting weak. I still wasn't 100% so we didn't do so hot on Stop Sign. In fact, we didn't even finish. We did get to the first stop sign which is 3 miles. So we turned around and walked back to the car for a total of 6 miles. So, I was pretty happy with that considering we are both sick! After that, my mom took us both to the doctor. Dad had a sinus infection and I had a bad cold. They were worried I had influenza which would put me bedridden with no exercise for a week! Thank God I tested negative for it. He did tell me I should of came in on Thursday when I was my sickest. And, also told me I should not be exercising if I am feeling as sick as I was. But anyway, I got some drugs and am feeling better! After the doctor, we ate at Subway which was good as usual! After that, the parents went back to the room to nap and I went back to FR. I just hung out, cleaned my room and watched a movie. I got ready and we went to Chucks for dinner! That's always a good time. We sat with Chris, Susan and Clare. After dinner, me and the parents went to the movies and saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It was soooooooooooo FUNNY!!!! I loved it! The other 3 just went home, they weren't feeling so well. After the movie, I went back to FR and met Susan in the lobby. Her and DeAnne were renting a car and going to Mesquite to gamble!!!! I immediately got excited and said HECK YAH I'm going too!!!!!!! So we took off to Mesquite and gambled the night away!!! I got sooooooooooo drunk it was awesome!!!! I had a blast!!!! I actually did really well at Blackjack. I walked away winning $50!!!! I just had a blast!!!! We didn't get home until 5 am! It was crazy walking into FR wasted drunk! Of course, Trevor met us at the door. I was trying to hide the drunkenness!!! haha So I crawled into bed at 5 am!!! It was a gggggggggreat day!
