I got a good job, I work hard for my money

Lyrics from the song I'm currently listening to, "Boot Scootin Boogie".

Anyway, yesterday was a fantastic day!  Chris got home from his mission:

It was awesome to be at the airport with his family and the Whatcotts for the excitement!  We went back to his house afterwards, and for a few hours, Chris just told us all about his mission.  I look forward to hanging out with one of my best buds over the next 33 days before I head out!  I get first date with him as an RM ;)

Yesterday was also kind of a wake-up call.  Since I got my mission call, I've had lots of things happen that I knew would happen.  John came home.  I went to Utah.  Temple.  Thanksgiving.  birthday.  Tiff and Sky came for Christmas.  Everyone left for school.  Chris got home. Now...the next big thing, literally, is me leaving.  I realized just how fast this next month is going to fly by.  Chris is home; this is something I've been looking forward to for (literally, 2 years) a long time...and now that's happened, and wow.  Time is flying by.  3 1/2 months ago, I got my mission call, and I thought it would be eternity before I'd be leaving, but now it's creeping up on me.  My lists of things to do are shrinking, my post-it wall is diminishing as I finish things, and I am taking care of a lot of things to get things in order.

On that note, I need to go finish my proposal for a paper for my English class.  I need to turn it in like 2 weeks ago, aka tomorrow, so I gotta get that done.  And I can't do it tonight unless I pull an all-nighter, because I have to work til 11:30.  Fun fun fun!  And it's snowing, so that's pretty awesome :)

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 ...

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....
