yippee!!!

i was able to donate blood today! i haven't been able to donate because my iron count has been way too low. but today was a good day, and my iron count was 13 something, and i filled my bag in 4 & 1/2 minutes! yippee!!! wahoo!!! i know, i know....i am a dork. but i really love donating blood! and was excited that i could donate today. i had to wait until after work...so i didn't pass out again at work....but hey, it's all good. i donated! and that is my happy news today...for being monday.
in other good news.... ryan comes home on thursday. :) i believe we still have plans for friday. i am not entirely certain because he still is out of contact with the rest of society. but it is still good news. saturday will be a great day. it is the secondhand serande concert at thanksgiving point. lis, mary, and i are going. and on sunday, lis & i are singing a duet of a patriotic nature for our ward. bishop & bro. chambers asked us yesterday. lex, lis' niece is going to accompany for us (hopefully) and it should be really good. lis & i blend very well together so i am excited for it, or maybe it is just nerves. oh well. either way, this week is looking to be a good one. :)
