The fish is alive



So here are the pictures, as promised. But first, a few words from your sponsor...er...writer. Yesterday we had a blood drive, and I'd taken vitamins and eaten steak and legumes and stuff during the week, because my iron is usually too low to donate, so I haven't donated since the first time a year and a half ago. But this time, I was determined. So I was donor number 2...I got through the iron perfectly! Then onto actually donating. I had brought a book to read (Bridge to Terabithia...if you've never read it, it's worth your time. It's been one of my favorite books since 5th grade) because then I wouldn't have to focus on getting my blood sucked (Steven suggested that next time I do it, I read Twilight). Cuz honestly, I'm not so good with needles and blood coming out of my own arm...don't ask why I donate, cuz I have my reasons. Anyway, so I was sitting there minding my own business, occupying my mind, and then the machine started to beep. And I knew I wasn't done, because it had only been a few minutes. Long story short, without details, I had to then focus on what was going on, and I started to get a little lightheaded, and basically, they couldn't get any more out of me. It was really a bummer, cuz they only had abou a half pint. But they said it's still useful, so that's good. But now I tell people that the Red Cross sucked me dry and I have no blood left! :) Oh and I have a bruise and a big stabwound now. Oh joy.

Other than that, I've just been working and doing random stuff like playing chauffeur and doing stuff at home. Oh and catching up on sleep. Cuz I won't get much this summer either.

Pictures! Yay!

This is up by Weirs Beach, on Lake Winnepesaukee. YAY!

We found the REAL Rollercoaster Road!

And the caboose train! That was actually pretty awesome!


dumpster surfing...?


Michael likes to jump over things. Like our picnic table. I've got a funny video of him trying to clear the dumpster too. Oh dear golly.

YAY and I leave for Alaska on Thursday!

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

The end of an era

So in about an hour and a half, I'll take my last final at BYU until after my mission! Exciting! Bittersweet. This week has had a lot of ups and downs already. It's never easy saying goodbye, but it's harder knowing I won't just come back in September and see everyone again. Today was my last day on the job at Heritage Halls. Thursday will be my last day on the job at BYUB. Tiff and James both leave tomorrow, and Hilary and Courtney both left today. Alex left yesterday, so...after tomorrow I need to find people to play with that I don't normally play with. Oh well. On Sunday, I went over to Courtney's and Hilary's place, and we had a last hurrah before Steph left for home on Monday. She goes to Jerusalem next week! Saturday evening, I went to Salt Lake and met up with Emma Koller there, one of my good friends that I met at EFY when I was 14, and haven't seen her since...4 or 5 years ago! So it was awesome to see her and meet her boyfriend! ...
