Happy Birfday James!

Yay today is James' birfday, and he's 22 and OLD. Good thing he's engaged. Or else I'd start to worry about him being the oldest person at BYU who isn't married! :p

Last night was a fireside with Elder Bednar. It was an awesome fireside, and his talk was so good! I watched it at the Belnaps', actually, which was enjoyable. They're like another family, kinda likethe Grays. Even though it was only Sister and Bro Belnap, it was still enjoyable. We watched the fireside together, then had ice cream. I also saw some of Carolee's wedding pictures from last summer...she looked so gorgeous! And I talked to her on the phone briefly, which was awesome, as I haven't talked to her in almost a year! ALso yesterday, I went to church in the Nashua 2nd ward, where Papa Gray is the Bishop now, and I don't know about half the ward. But hey,it's all good! It was really good to be back. And to see old friends. And make new ones. Life is good! I'm goign to camp with our ward in July, which I think will be fun.

Another thing about being home... I forgot about the adjustment it is to move! I started working at Hannaford again, the day after I got home, and they've given me a ton of hours...way more than I thoughut I'd have. So having that job is really a blessing. And I've got a couple options for work in the fall, too. THat's good. But yeah, the adjustment. At work, I keep seeing people who look like people I know from Utah. Then I realize that and get excited for a split second until I realize that they aren't, because I'm not in Provo anymore. Another thing is that I can't just drive 10 minutes out of Nashua and be in the middle of nowhere. I actually miss that. It never crossed my mind that I would, but I do. I was driving yesterday, just aroud town, and thinking about this, realizing that I miss the "wide open spaces"! I love the trees though. I guess you can't have it both ways. But it is a big adjustment this summer to driving from city to city in southern NH and Massachusetts, and not being out of a populated area. Tomorrow I'm going up to Laconia with Steven,though, and that's in the middle of nowhere. So that will be good I think. I will get to see Lake Winnepesaukee!!

Well, back to cleaning my room. And de-cat-ifying it.

  2. ok karen, it's 10:30 pm here and I just about jumped out of my seat. The first part of your blog must be a joke, because we are like family and don't know anything about any girl in James life. I was just visiting your house Monday night and didn't smell any whiff of engagements. Please tell me it was a joke! I mean, we would be happy and all for James but we'd better find out straight from the horses mouth and not via little sista's blog!

10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order... 1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags. 2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?! 3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us! 4. people who smell bad. nuff said. 5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick. 6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah. 7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom o...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

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....
