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!

To be or not to be...

...in this case, it is not the question but rather the answer. Today in Church a talk was given that brought up something important to me.  I am a "list person".  I have so many lists, because that is how I stay organized.  The most frequent list I make is a to-do list, generally before I go to bed for the next day (yes, I still have nightly planning sessions, hahahaha, picked that up from the mission!).  But in this talk, the speaker talked about how we like to-do lists because we can check things off as we finish.  But have we ever thought about a "To be" list?  So that got me thinking.  And tonight for my scripture study, I was pondering over this and decided that I also needed to make a "Not to be" list.  And these are lists that will stay with me for life, as I will never be perfect and will always be working on becoming more like Christ.  Because that is the ultimate goal of a "to be" list.  So here is the result of my study: T...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....

Summertime is...over?!

Today is one of my last few days at my parents' house before I head back to BYU for my senior year.  The long road of college finally has a light at the end of the tunnel, and it looks reachable!  But this time next year, if all goes according to plan, I will be married and living in Brazil.  The last couple days have made me look back on my summer and think about all that has happened... So, this is going to be a long post, mostly because of pictures that are going to help me tell my summer 2013 story.  I came back to NH in April after winter semester ended, stayed for about a week and a half, and then I went to Brazil for 5 1/2 weeks.  And while I was there, some wonderful things happened..... Renato proposed to me at the Recife Temple the day I got to Brazil (the first time we'd seen each other in over 9 months), and I said yes!  So (finally) we are officially engaged and planning a wedding for July 22 2014, in Brazil! Our rings :) We ...
