Stuck

Yesterday I worked that morning shift at the post office which requires me to take the mail truck down to the main post office and pick up the day's incoming mail.
My co-worker Mellissa Wise was with me and due to the somewhat crappy roads we took the alternate route back to the school so as to avoid any trouble going the normal was which involves a hill.
As we start to pull away from a stop sign (that we abviously stopped at) the truck wouldn't move. I put it in reverse, back into drive and tried to drive forward again but nothing. I did this several times before I finally gave up and told Mellissa to get in the driver's seat and push on the gas while I got out and tried to push. Well the moment I stepped out of the truck I slipped and gripped the door of the truck so that I didn't fall. I finally made it to the back of the truck and started to push as Mellissa pushed on the gas. It did no good as my shoes had no traction and I was just sliding everywhere.
A few minutes later a man in a blue pick up stopped, hooked chains up to the mail truck and pulled off of the ice as Mellissa and I laughed uncontrollaby. What an incredible start to a day.

Martin Luther Weekend

What a weekend! I left Cedar City on Friday afternoon at about 5:20 (right after work) and Meat Beau, his girlfriend Lauren and her roommate Erin in Spanish Fork at The Pizza Factory for a double date. WOO HOO! Haha. It was totally fun and we luaghed way hard the whole night. Saturday I went to lunch with my bestest best friend Brittany Mower and it was so fun to see her! (her ring looks a lot better in person by the way :) ) And I am really mad at myself because we didn't get a picture together! Stupid not taking pictures. The rest of the day was just a lazy day which was nice because I got to read a little bit of my book for English...which is interesting...And then Beau, me and Beau's roommate Layne went over to Lauren and Erin's house because they made us dinner and p.s. it was really good. Beau and Layne's other roommate Jeremy was supposed to come, but he didn't want to because he's lame haha. Anyway we just hung out and then watched a movie and then Sunday Beau and I went over to our friends' Brielle, Tauna, and Lindsay's house and played games and ate cookies and had a huge good time.
Today is Monday and it's snowing really bad and I hate it because we were planning on going to the sundance film festival today to go and stalk celebs, but that plan was shot to hell! Haha. Anyway...it's been a really fun weekend. One that I so desparately needed! Please pray that I won't die driving home tonight!

Love and Marriage

I've decided that I've got to blog often or I will forget to do it again. :) So my esbestest best friend in the whole world Brittany Mower got engaged this week! Holy crazy! I remember working at the post office with her towards the end of her time there and how she would always say that she would never get married. "Brittany" I would say. "When you move to Salt Lake you are going to find a guy and fall in love and get married". She would then proceed to say that she hoped I was right but didn't really believe it. Well Brittany, IN YOUR FACE! Haha, but this is a good in your face because you've found "the one" haha. I already miss you! I guess I better get on the ball and start dating so that I can find my "one and only" and then we can be married friends.

Here I am once again about a week later. Not bad considering my blogging past. I have now come to my senses and realize that this semester is going to be rather difficult. I have English 2010 utopia/dystopia that proves to be interesting, but a lot of reading. Reading isn't a bad thing, I'm just very slow at it. I also have intro to human biology:anatomy and Physiology. Just looking at the title makes my brain hurt! and then of course there is the one and only University 1000 taught by the psychotic Jill Wilks. Can anyone say tranquilizer? Holy cow! If she talks any louder I swear I'll go deaf. But I do have my sanctuary classes: Dance and Institute. without those, I might in fact go completely insane (I'm not too far from it).  Other than school nothing else is really going on right now. The post office continues to pay crap but it's a good work environment. I'm going to apply to a restaurant on Monday called Cafe Orleans. They moved right next to the candy shop on main street in Cedar, so wish me luck on that.

I have just been called as the FHE grandpa in my ward. Let me explain. There are 5 FHE groups in my ward each headed by a "mom" and "dad" and I am over the moms and dads with the FHE grandma who is engaged and getting married in March so someone will be taking over her position shortly. Student wards are funny.

Anywho...to all of you fellow students out there I feel your pain and for those of you who are not students any longer, No more homework no more books etc.

Holy six months batman!

So, it's been six months since I've blogged...my bad! I forget that I have this thing. But to update you all in the past six months (without writing a novel) I started school at SUU in the fall of '07 and love it here. I must admit that I didn't like it much in the summer because no one is here in the summer, but once school started it was a blast. I passed all of my classes this last semester (WOOT) and I am continuing on my journey to finish up my generals (I will only have two more after this coming semester). I still work at the post office on campus and have so much fun. The pay conitues to suck...a lot...but I get weekends and holidays off so I can't really complain a whole lot.
I recently had Lasik surgery and absolutely love it! Being able to wake up and see is amazing and the fact that I went from legally blonde...blind (haha) to 20/10 vision is a miracle in and of itself.
Well...that's my life in a nut shell. My "love" life is non-existant, but I'm gonna be brave this semester and ask people out. (Ideas for cheap or free dates?)
I hope all is well with everyone and I will try and do better this year at my blog. No promises though :)
