Relaxing at Home

I figured since I still have a few weeks before I enter the "real world" and have to actually get up and go to work every day, it would be the perfect opportunity to spend some time at home with my family and just relax. So, that's what I'm doing the beginning of this week.

I came home last night, Sunday, just in time to play some Bingo in Westside with my mom. I love playing Bingo but it's just so frustrating when you don't win! :) And that's just what we did... we didn't win. But it was fun anyways. It was so fun that I decided to do it again tonight in Vail! And once again I did a lot of not winning. But oh well. Grandma Kock told me when the night was over that it's probably a good thing that I didn't win because then it wouldn't encourage me to gamble. I really thought there was no way that I could go two nights in a row and not even win one game. But oh well I guess.

Today was a great day, though. I did my usual sleeping in late and then headed over to Grandma Kocks. Of course she offered to make me some lunch which was GREAT! Fried eggs, toast, and ham. What more could I ask for!?! We watched some Game Show Network (my favorite) and I worked on some Sudoku and Word searches and things while she made some food for Bingo (which I gladly tested for her). I didn't leave without some things for my apartment either. She gave me some plates, silverware, and a bedside table... I love hand-me-downs :)

Then, when she had to leave for town to get ready for bingo I headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Jons'. We had a good time catching up and talking about my new job and apartment and things. I also got to see all the cards Grandpa received for his 80th birthday card shower (over 60 Grandma said!!). I didn't make it out of there without having an ice cream break either. Good times with the Grandparents!!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do the rest of my time at home. Hopefully get some time in with Aunt Doreen and Uncle Nick, as well as my parents and my Jared. Jared has his Grand Opening for his Amway business on Wednesday night which I hope goes well!

Then I'm back to Omaha by Thursday morning for a doctors appointment to be sure that I am healthy enough and all that jazz to work at UP. Wish me luck ;) Then....... Friday morning I get my wisdom teeth out. EEE!!! I'll let you know how that goes. Trent and I have made a grocery list of the foods that we need to pick up so I have food to eat afterwards. I'm pretty excited about the tomato soup, applesauce, yogurt, and, of course, the ice cream!! And I'm certain Trent is very excited to get to take care of me. :) He is the best boyfriend, and even took a day off of work to bring me to my appointment and then hang out with me to be sure I'm alright the rest of the day. I'll let you know how it all goes. Wish me luck!
