Life

Well things are looking up! I have a job. No I'm not cleaning toilets!....anymore. Ahem, anyways, I am officially the custodian for the MTC lobby! Yay for me! You should all come visit the MTC and see the glory of the sparkling clean lobby! So there's my income. My bishop is really nice and awesome but he isn't you, Daddy. I'm still missing you all like crazy. Yesterday I missed Chase really bad and I just want to tell him that I love you! You are a crazy little man. And you tell really cute stories and jokes. My apartment just had our monthly cleaning check and we passed. So that's good. Yeah but the velcro I use to hang pictures on my walls has an unfortunate side effect....ripping off the paint! Haha yeah. So I'll have to fix that up when I leave. I can't wait to come visit in two weeks! Oh Dad we didn't get me new tires! And what about tire chains?! I don't know how to drive in snow!!!! I'm going to DIE!!
So I'm trying to think of new stuff that has happened to tell you guys. Annie went on a date. Cole and I went to Lagoon and also the Museum of Ancient Life and guess what Stef? We bought Triops! And hatched them! And they are cute! Except then when Annie was cleaning the kitchen she knocked over the jar...so now we only have like 3 left. And they are all named Speck. Oh did I tell you all that the "year-round pool" is really freakin cold? As in when they say heated they mean they just set a glacier down and let it melt and throw ice cubes in it every day. That's what Utah means by "heated pool". But the hot tub is toasty so that's nice. Ok well that's about it! Love ya!

Settling in...

Ok. So it has been at times both fun and really really REALLY LAME!!! I feel like I am finally living here. I have showered in the bathroom. More than once, don't worry. I am finally washing my sheets right now and have worked out how to use the laundry room. I have been to all my classes twice. I have gone grocery shopping for myself! I have applied for jobs. I have my own cupboards and a shelf in the fridge. Oh yeah, it's pretty nice. Oh, and I have rearranged my closet about three times in order to make it the most efficient and aesthetically pleasing as I can. And it's cold!! Only in the mornings though. And yes Mom and Dad, I have indeed hurt myself. I have a bruise on my finger where it got jambed in my dresser drawer and I have blisters on my feet and a miscellaneous assortment of scrapes and cuts as usual. So nothing new there! My classes are all really good! The teachers are all really funny! So that's exciting. So far everything has been going...ok. I love you all!
