cowboy boots, belt buckles, and country dancing

So my time at home has flown by, and it's just about time for me to leave again! I leave tomorrow morning, bright and early, to head down to DC. Friday will be filled with sailing, hopefully. I'd better bring sunscreen, or I'll get to EFY as a tomato.

I haven't done much since I've been home. I worked a total of 4 hours at Hannaford...that'll be a small paycheck tomorrow, though I won't get it for 3 1/2 weeks. I did some painting projects at the Youngs', though, which has been helpful to my financial state! They're great people, so it was fun to hang out and catch up with them too. It's always better to work for people you like! I've attended the Singles Ward a couple times, and it's great to see old friends and make new friends! I'm looking forward to going there weekly in August and the fall. I really love that ward, and I'm glad to be back!

Other than that...oh, I've taught Steven and Michael some country dancing that I know, so they're pretty pumped and want to "own" everyone at EFY with our sweet moves. Now I just have to break the news to Jazon... :)

Well, I've got a list of things to do, and it's a mile long, so I really need to go cross more things off of there. I'll be back in a few weeks! Oh- yeah, I think I'm going to leave my computer here during EFY. Less to lug around and worry about, and I won't really use it anyway.

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....

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 ...

Rocks Rock!

So just out of curiosity, and because I had a couple minute before I have to head to work, I went on ebay and searched for a rock hammer. They are way cheaper than I thought they'd be! One of these days, I'm going to invest in a good one. But probably not until post-mission, as I technically won't need it until then anyway. Unless for some reason I take it to Alaska...hmm.... idears! Anyway, I took a geology test today, and it was a breeze. I love having a 4-credit class that I love and have an A in...partially because I love it, and partially because it takes some stress off of my math class, because this will balance it out. Though I'm not doing as badly in math as I thought I was! But i guess we'll see how this next test goes, which I think I am going to take on Saturday. It's going to be a busy weekend! James and I have quite the adventure planned for Saturday evening...just wait for pictures :) I hope it works out, because it'll be a hoot! ...
