New fish.

Hunter came home with three new fish. Two gold fish, and a Beta. Let's hope he has better luck keeping fish alive than my Roommate does.

This morning I woke up and almost lost my dinner(At that time in the morning I don't know what it is your losing). I felt worse than a wet log in the mud. Maybe that doesn't sound too bad, but I wouldn't like being wet in the mud. I chugged a glass of water and convinced myself to go to sleep.

So, this morning when I woke up again. I got ready quick, and got in the car. We went to Alta. Oh, my, coldness. It was -5 degrees. We went down twice, dad sold our passes and we left. Off to Costco! We ate every taster we could, Mm, mm, good. Thank you Costco for saving the day. Then we headed home. Sierra and I got ready for the day, even though it was a little late.. I Loove getting dressed up! Is that safe to say? While being at college I have been lacking on the getting dressed up department. I value my sleep, and when I can stay asleep for a half hour rather than get up and ready.. Well, I take that option. So I have been wearing tennies, jeans, t-shirts, ponytails, and barely any make up. Yeah, I'll work on that..

Um.. Oh! So Sierra and I were going to go to a stake dance tonight.. Psh! Who does that? I'm not a huge fan. We're still going to stop by, but our plan is to come back soon after and play games, watch movies, eat, and play with the family! :)

(Good news. My Best Friend _____ is engaged.)(I don't know if I can post her name yet. It's very recent and her news to tell.)

Paint 2

I love animals. Sorta.

Exhausted much?

It's a little after four, I have roughly four hours till I go home and sleep.

I'm having a really hard time staying awake. I've almost fallen asleep about three times. I can't fall asleep! That would be terrible.

I watched a movie, then I put in another movie, but worked on finishing three projects I brought. I finished all that I could. Then I put in another movie. Right now, I'm on movie four. So far I've watched Night at the Museum 2(I've tried watching it so many times. I'm having a hard time getting through it.), Wedding Planner, Aladdin, and now Despicable Me.

Proof. I just Leaned up against where I'm sitting and practically fell asleep. I just did it again. Oh heavens.

Grandpa coughs and it startles me back awake. Sometimes I look over, and can't see him breathing, that makes me nervous too.

I always crave sleep. Four hours.

Night Four.

I'm here again. In Orem, that is. Another sleepless night.

I didn't know if I'd be coming today or not. You see, a blizzard hit today, it was Not fun to drive in. Because the roads were so snowy/icy my aunt wasn't comfortable driving home from sitting with grandpa so I was going to be off the hook. My dad went to pick up my brother and sister from a friends house and ended up calling to say that the roads were okay, as long as you were careful. So, I got into my comfy clothes, packed my lappy, DVD's, snacks, a few projects and was on my way.

Half hour later(normally 10 minutes) I made it to the Rehab center my grandpa is at. My aunt gave me the run down of what's been happening. She left shortly after that. I talked to my grandpa for a minute, it was great. I could understand what he was saying, he gave me a hug and told me he loves me. He does that a lot. He doesn't remember me though.

I got situated and put in a movie. Grandpa was still awake, I told him I wasn't leaving and that he could sleep. He said, "Okay." Then before I could sit down he grabbed my hand and said, "Let me give you a hug in case I don't make it." Gave me a hug, and said I love you again.

What does my grandpa mean "..in case I don't make it." How come he said that?

What about this one?

Morning.

Dear 5:00A.M.,

I haven't seen you in a while. I didn't really plan to see you for a while.. to be honest. I feel like we just don't get along very well. You know? I guess I just don't feel like we connect as well as we used to, I feel we are drifting apart. You make my eyes droop and get all sleepy on me. you make me lose my appetite. You make me feel terrible. You are Ruining my relationship I have with my cozy bed. Maybe some day in the(far) future we'll be better friends. For now.. Let's try and give each other space. Thanks.

Till We Meet Again,

Jerrica Ciel Osmun.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Uah! I'm awake. Don't worry. So far I'm on movie four of six. Yaaa! 13 going on 30, The incredibles, Up, Night at the Museum 1&2, and of course Despicable Me. Good list huh? Ooh, and as you can see I redid a lot of my blog, AND I played around on paint for a bit.. Here are my creations so far.

Night Three?

Hello everyone. This is my third time pulling an all nighter to sitting with my grandpa. It usually goes something like this. Ten o'clock, get to Orem and get comfortable. Midnight, first movie over second started. One-thirty/two, start third movie. Three/four, you guessed it start fourth movie. Five, start fifth movie and fight staying awake. Six, getting a lot more tired. Seven, talk with grandpa a little if he's awake and walk around. Continue to walk around till eight. I find that Usually I'm alright staying up all night, as long as I have movies and stand up and walk around when I get tired. Wowee! Those last two or three hours are quite hard.

I've learned a lot from these few times being here. One, my sleeping/eating schedules are so off. I never know if I'm supposed to be sleeping or awake, and I forget what time of day it is. Before I go to sleep in the morning, or when I wake up, do I eat? My stomach feels like it's eating itself. Maybe it's just the transition. Hopefully.

I think we have a cycle going on here, broken hip, hospital, rehab, pneumonia, hospital, rehab, pneumonia (slightly). Do you agree? In all honesty, I do Not like this cycle. Do you realize what's next in the cycle?? Hospital. I am not okay with that.

My grandpa is so strong. I love him so much. I'm grateful for the time I have to spend with him, even if it's like this.

December 25th Anyone?

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Well, I have a few stories to tell.

Christmas Eve, we went skiing. It was So fun!! While Sierra and I were on a lift we discovered this bar over our head, when we pulled it down it was apparent that it was like a seatbelt/safety bar. Like on a roller coaster kind of. Then.. we realized we could hang over the edge of it. While "Hanging around" (hehehe, I'm so punny..), I had a brilliant thought come to mind, "since we can lean over, let's practice our spitting skills!" I told Sierra of my brilliant plan. Well, all I can say is, Third times a charm right? The first time I tried, I ended up spitting all over my pants. The second time, I spit all over my skis. The third time, I hit the snow. After finally hitting the snow, I decided I was done. Sierra is Pro.

Oh, Sierra fell, a lot. I only fell once.

Today is Christmas. As usual we all got up early, well actually, last night we debated on what time we would be opening presents. After about fifteen minutes of kind arguing it was set that we would get up and open presents at 7:37. Sure enough, 7:37 rolled around and I was woken up by my little brother Isaac. Who-Rah. We took pictures, opened presents, it was Great. Might I add, my amazing father gave my mother Just Dance 2 for the Wii. I think that may have been my favorite gift of all.. It's quite entertaining.

At 1:00 I was scheduled to sit with my grandpa until 6:00. We all went over and visited for a little while, then everyone left except for Sierra and I. It was nice to be with him, even though he doesn't remember we're there half the time. I miss how he used to be, but hey, he may end up coming back around and being his old self again. Anyway, Sierra and I watched two movies while he slept most of the time. It was peaceful. After he ate, the CNA's got him back into bed and we left.

Overall, I love the Christmas season. I love spending time with my friends and family. I am so grateful for the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the gospel in my life.

I wish you all the best :)

He said, "I still have hope."

Oblivious.

Today my mom and I went shopping. We only went to Seagull Book and Walmart, however, we spent about three hours out and about. I hadn't really given much thought to getting ready this morning, so I was wearing a t-shirt, red dance warm ups, my nice black coat, and a glittery blue head band. Not too attractive. I also was in dire need of a shower. Alright, on with the story. We walked around Walmart for about two hours. We saw lots of odd balls, some creepers, etc. Many colorful people. While waiting in the line to check out, I was staring off into space just thinking about how complicated life can be. My mom looked over at me and said, "You are so oblivious." I responded with, "What?" She then explained how she's been watching guys all throughout our Walmart adventure check me out. Oh my heavens. I had no idea any of that was happening. I mean, I thought I looked like a walking grease ball of death! So, there you have it, I'm oblivious.

Home

There's just something about that word that brings warmth into my heart. Even though my house is not always warm, there's a light that comes from it. I love being home. Actually, scratch that, I love being with my family. Where ever my family is, that is home. We are all so different, yet so alike. While being at college has been very fun, and quite the learning experience, it has also helped me realize how big of a part my family plays in my life. Whenever I come home from classes, I talk to my mom about what happens, now my room mate gets to hear. :) When I get a good grade on an exam, I tell my parents and hang it on the fridge. I still tell them, I call or send a short text, but we have no fridge to hang them on. When I feel bad about something or just want to talk, I hug my little brother or talk to my sister. Now I go on runs, or write. On occasion I will talk to my sister. A lot has changed in my life recently. I love my family more than I ever have before. I don't know where I would be without them.

Merry Christmas!

Now here's a question you can answer for me.. What should I major in? Jessi saw these beauties and said Graphic design. I absolutely Love paint :) Oh by the way.. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Grandpa Osmun

Grandpa Osmun? No, no, no.. It should be Grandpa O. My Grandpa O is amazing. I remember a few years ago my brother Dallin and I went to my grandpa's house for the Sunday morning session of conference. Okay, actually in reality I didn't want to go so I made my brother Dallin come with me. When we got there and settled down in grandpa's comfy chairs, he made us breakfast. When he brought us what he had made, it smelled heavenly. Grandpa had made us his oatmeal concoction. It had, oatmeal, cream of wheat, brown sugar, and bananas in it. It was then that I realized, grandpa needs us. He loves us so much. I never really particularly liked going to his house up until that day. When we sat and watched conference I liked it. I loved the feeling. I loved how excited he was to see us when he opened the door and how he happily made us breakfast just for us. Ever since then I have loved to visit my grandpa. Whether it's having him over at our house for dinner, visiting him while working, or going over after school. I have loved visiting, talking to, and seeing my grandpa. Another thing, My grandpa gives The Number One Best Hugs! I love my grandpa So much.
