Summer has just begun!

Alright, I think it's about time for another post, as I've been neglecting my blog for basically the entire summer. Updates: I've begun my mission papers and I'm working on those; hopefully I'll get them in by the end of September. That's NEXT MONTH. It hardly seems real that after years of anticipating this, I'm taking tangible steps toward my mission. In only a few short months, I could be half way around the world, or just a few hours away. I don't know yet where I'm going, but you can bet on it that I'll post here when I know :)

In other news, EFY and camp and such are finally done. I loved working with the youth of the Church this summer. They are amazing people, and I learned so much from them. I made amazing friends in counselors with whom I worked, and I'm glad to say that I still talk to many of them :) I feel like I just got home for the summer last week, and many people are leaving in the next week or two for school. Fortunately, Melanie is home for the fall as well, and I've got some good friends in the singles ward that I can spend time with during the fall. But before my thoughts get too far ahead of me...let me post some pictures from EFY.


Night of Darkness- SVU week 1


Envieth Not- SVU week 2


Feast Upon- SVU week 3, plus the Dixons (session directors that week)


SVU team! Plus the Dixons


That Awful Crisis- NH week 1 (minus the counselors...)


counselors for That Awful Crisis- Ryan, me, Travis


They Did Cry- NH week 2

That's a summation of the great people I got to work with and meet and love. It was a fantastic summer as far as EFY is concerned. It has just been a fantastic summer overall!!!

So lately...I went sailing this weekend with Mel and Brian and Corliss and Jeff. It was great- we were in an 18-foot catamaran with a 30-foot mast, sailing out in the Atlantic Ocean. We're hardcore. :) You don't even know! Haha. It's been good.

But I need to get back to other important things. Like catching up in my journal. And doing random projects around the house that I've begun but not finished yet. I've got a list a mile long of things I need to do before I leave for the mish, and I've already got two things crossed off...sweet! A couple more should be crossed off hopefully by the end of August/beginning of September. And besides that one, I have like 3 more to-do lists. Oh, I have to go make a doctors appointment...okay, I'm really going now. I'll be back a lot more frequently than I have been. Axel is coming this week, so we'll hopefully have some fun adventures!!! :)

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....
