So where IS grandma?

I thought I'd better give a quick update before I am so far behind that I can't remember what is going on. I am in Utah. I arrived at Becky's Wed night. I spent Thur with Derrik while Rachel had surgery. The surgery went well and she is recovering steadily. Fri I was with Rachel while Derrik went to work. Sat I visited with Trish for a bit on my way to the USU basketball game. I did detour to visit Mom and Dad for a few minutes before the game. My escort picked me up and we were off to our pre-game activity. Amy Petersen took me to the ag chili cook-off. Then off to the game
I have to go now. Jami just arrived at Rachel's room. I will continue later.

GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I just attempted to add to this post and post it and...............................I lost it. I am soooo bummed. I can never remember what I wrote and it will never be as good as last time. But I will give it my best attempt.

Back to the important part--------the USU basketball game. So Amy and I went to the game and of course the Aggies won. They are now ranked 17th in the nation. They have the nation's longest home winning streak, I believe it is 31 games and they have an 18 game winning streak overall (the longest in the nation) and tied with Oklahoma for the most wins in the nation at 23 wins 1 loss. I must make note that the Aggies beat the Nevada Wolf Pack once this season and they are so ready to do it again. That is if Reno will have enough courage to show up for the game. Love ya Lance, just sorry that your boys can't keep up with my boys on the hardwood.
And that is all the sports report that you need. Go Aggies!!!

So I visited with my parents Sun afternoon then stopped by to visit Jami for a bit before heading back to Becky's. I'm so grateful that Becky and Todd can tolerate weird Aunt Marilyn and let me stay with them. And they don't get mad at me for keeping them up to late at night. I know they will be so happy when I am gone so they can work on the sleep depravation that I am creating.

There is some talk that Rachel may go home Wed. Depending on Rachel and the weather, I am hoping to go home tomorrow or at least say good bye to Rachel tomorrow and go at least to Tremonton tomorrow.

Rachel's room has a fantastic view of the valley. I sat here just a bit ago and watched ominous, dark clouds totally roll across the valley in a matter of a few minutes. And then it started to snow. Rachel made the BIG move out of her bed and to the chair so she could watch it snow. Yep. Within minutes, the snow had stopped and the skies were clearing up. She was so disappointed.
