homework.

I have a lot of homework.
This isn't my homework.
It is just a lot more appealing than my homework.
I am sitting here listening to Derick and his friend do their math.  I'm not even in math but I get stressed out at the thought of being in math.  That is how much I hate it.  I hate listening to them try to solve their equations.  I think it is giving me ulcers.  Just saying.
While at church today I misplaced my phone.  It was absolutely nowhere to be found, and there were only about 3 possible places it could be.  I couldn't find it! I was, of course, pretty frantic seeing as I am a little addicted to my phone and use it for everything.  After checking all the possible places it could be numerous times along with the lost and found every 20 minutes, I decided I couldn't look around all day and I would just have to go home and hope it showed up eventually.  I got to my parents and began a rant about how upset I was that I couldn't find my phone and my sister told me about the amazing iPhone finder online.  I had no idea this thing existed!! I logged into my iCloud account and soon found out my phone was still somewhere in the church, and someone hadn't walked away with it.  What a relief.  I then was able to lock my phone and leave a message on the screen saying "if found please call this number.." I then typed Derick's number.  Sorry, for those of you who think this iPhone finder is old news, but i'm tellin' ya.  Technology is amazing! I then set off an alarm so someone would notice my phone, look at it, and then call Derick's number.  I set off the alarm over and over again not knowing if it actually worked or not.  It just turns out my brother in-law goes to the same church building as me, 2 hours later, and had been informed of my phone missing.  As he was passing by the stake president's office he heard an alarm go off and went inside to go see what it was.  The stake president gladly handed over my phone and said it kept going off and he had no idea what to do with it! What luck i've had.  I love apple and their amazing ways, and I love that my brother in-law happened to take on the challenge of finding my phone, and I love my sister for knowing about the iPhone finder.  Without them I would still currently be phone less. :)
Today was Derick's sister Janell's birthday party.  It was a lot of fun! If you can't already tell by my previous blog posts, I love family time!
Happy Birthday Janell! Don't worry.. you aren't that old! ;)

Favorite part about this picture? Jackson's shoes. 

After a month of getting our internet Derick and I have finally figured out how to get it to work.  Sort of...  my computer still needs to be plugged into the router.. or modem? I have no idea what it is called.  So, we haven't completely mastered the whole wireless internet thing, but it is a step!  At least I can get my homework done at home instead of going into work hoping it will be an extra slow night so I can get stuff done, or spend my whole day up on campus.   Not having internet has been kind of good for me.  I have definitely been more productive with my time, but I think it is a must during the school year. 

well, Until next time!! :)
