This week!!

Okay so not much has happened this week. I guess a lot has happened, but not really a lot... I don't know what I am talking about. I'll just start at the beginning. So last week I went to Vernal right? So Tuesday afternoon after I got to Vernal, my mom took me to her see her new classroom. She is the computer teacher at Ashley Elementary, the same school I went to for 3rd and 4th grade. Its now a K-5 school though. So anyway I went to Ashley when it was a ghetto old building, the same one my dad went to, but this summer they tore down that building and built a new school building where the old one was. So I went to check it out. It made me super jealous of the kids that got to start school the next day! I want to go back to elementary school!! Those were some fun days! Looking at the school was a blast and hanging with my mom was fun.
Wednesday morning I went to the dentist. He had to fix a filling that fell out of my cavity. It felt gross to touch it with my tongue before he put the new filling in, and I decided that I definitely do not want to be a dentist. I mean my mouth is probably gross to look at and its also probably one of the cleanest you would find! I dont really know what I was thinking but I just dont know how that man can look at people's mouths all day long. I would get grossed out. So that was fun and then I got to go and hang with my mom at school and see some of the lil nastys in computer class. It also takes a special kind of person to be a teacher. I spent 30 minutes with my mom and witnessed only a class of 4th graders and I was praying for it to be over! I couldnt spend all day with those kids. I would yell at them and they would hate me. So I guess teaching is out too.
So then it was Thursday. I didn't have to work so I drove back to Cedar and took a nap. The drive was really boring and I was super happy when it was over. I slept from like 2 pm until almost 6. Then Hillary, Karlee and I went to the store to get some things like milk, and some stuff to make dinner with. So we came home and made dinner and then we were just watching TV and I started falling asleep! So I went to bed at 9 that night and it was the most blissful night of my whole life!!!
Other than all of that I have pretty much just been working and sleeping. I have Institute Monday and
Wednesday mornings at 8 in the A.M. and it has been killing me! I get up and go to class until 9 then I come home and sleep until noon! I should work on trying to stay up but maybe that can be next weeks goal. Anyway I guess that is all for now. Peace and blessins Peace and blessins.

V Town!!

Okay okay so here I am again in Vernal. I never was here and lately I feel like Im here every week. I have just decided today that I love Cedar and I love Vernal. But I also hate them both. Vernal is my home. It always will be. But that rebellious teenager in me wants nothing to do with it. I do love it though. Cedar is also my home. I hate it because its so far away from my other home but its home too.

Also. THE WIND IN VERNAL BLOWS COOL AIR!!!!!!  I always used to hate the wind in Vernal because i thought it was hot. Then I moved to Cedar. That is hot wind. It sucks! The air conditoner in my car broke so i had to roll down the windows the whole way here which was fine because like i said. COOL WIND!!! Anyway that was my adventure for today. Plus lots of road construction so it took me the full 6 hours to get here instead of 5 and a half like normal. Oh well. It was fun. I jammed out. End of story. More later. Peace.

Another Week...

So my days off from work are Tuesday and Wednesday right... So I feel as if the week starts on Thursday instead of Monday. So Today was my Monday and it pretty much sucked as all Monday's usually do. I had to go to work of course which really wasn't so bad  but I learned something while I was at work that upset me. I also am just a stupid kid and sometimes I wanna just hit myself in the arm and say "Really Alan? Did you really just do that?" Nothing horrible happened I just feel stupid. I seriously wonder what I am thinking when I do things sometimes. Like really? Wow. Anyway enough of that. Everyone makes mistakes and all you can do is just get over it. Not a big deal just keep on trucking.
Besides that Nothing much has been going on. Its been exciting watching everyone move into the apartments around us... Kind of annoying when every grandma in the state is supervising the moving but whatever... I have gotten sick of bossy grandmas that arent even my grandma. It has sucked not being able to park in my normal spot, but Im excited to make new friends.
I also signed up for an institute class. I cant wait for it to start but I have to miss the first day because I will be in Vernal. I have a dentist appointment next week so I get to go home on Tuesday. Im super excited about that! Its been like a month since I went to Vernal last and I am just a real happy kid that I get to go again. My brothers will be starting school next week too so I get to see all that excitement LOL
Anyway I guess that is about all for now. Sorry that I never really have anything interesting to say, but thats my life. Peace out.

God Bless America!

So I know that Hillary and my mom are probably the only ones that read this blog of mine but Im going to write this anyway. Last week a boy from my hometown was killed in Afghanistan. I didn't know him personally but he was a senior in high school when I was a sophomore so we went to school together. I don't know his family. I know nothing about him except that he died to protect me and my family. So this has made me think a lot about the things I am thankful for. I have kind of made a little list. I know that this does not even begin to cover the things I am thankful for but they are the big things.

MY FAMILY
I am so thankful that I was born into a family that has so much love for me. I don't know what I would do without my mom and dad. They are the biggest examples to me and I hope that when I grow up I be as great as they are. They have taught me things that have helped turn me into the person I am today and I love them so much. My brothers are also great examples to me. I love all three of them sooooooo much and I really look up to them. There are also many grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins that I cant even name that are also equally amazing and I love all of them as well.

MY GOD
I am freaking proud to be a Mormon and I don't hide it. I am so thankful for my church! I love it and I dont know where I would be without it. I know that the church is true and that families are forever. I know that when we are all dead that I will still be with my family. There are so many aspects of the church that I could mention here because I am thankful for them all. There are not even words to describe how I feel about my beliefs. Happy. Joyful. Excited. I dont know. I get so happy every time I read my scriptures and find something I never saw before. I learn something new every single time. I am so thankful for the Prophet. I know that he gets direction directly from God. I love to listen to his voice and the voice of all the 12 Apostles because I know who their words are coming from. I am thankful for missionaries and the work they are doing. I am so excited for others to know the things that I know. I am thankful for my church because it is something that makes me happy and I know that it is the only true church on the earth today.

MY COUNTRY
 I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

I am proud to be an American. I am so thankful that I live in a country where I have so many freedoms. I think I take that for granted occasionally. I dont realize that there are people in the world that can't say, do, or have the things that I can. I am thankful that my parents are also proud to be Americans and taught me the importance of being respectful during things like The Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem and to stand when the American Flag comes by during parades. I am also thankful for all the men and women that fight for the freedoms that I enjoy. Im thankful for the ones that have died to protect me.

 Like I said there is so much more that I could talk about right now. I could list a million things that Im thankful for. Socks, food, water, beds, blankets, cars, walmart, school, friends. It would take too long to say everything. But I guess thats all for now. Peace and blessings.

Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee!

The last two days have been an adventure! Hillary's family came down for a few days so we have been hanging out with them. Last night we went to Tuacahn and saw Grease! It was awesome! Then this morning we got up and went swimming with the kids and then went shopping in St George. It was quite the adventure. I love how people drive in this state. Other than that not really very much has been going on. I mostly just work and sleep these days. The other day at work these two lil Mexican kids told me I was pretty and it pretty much made my whole life. They were so cute. Anyway I guess that is about all for now. I'll try to be better about this whole blogging thing. Peace out.

Stick Shift :)

Yeah Hillary taught me how to drive her car tonight. It was an adventure for sure. She said I was doing really good but I was freaked out so we had to cut the lessons short. It was fun though :) Also I broke my car the other night. I broke the hood release cable when I was checking my fluids and battery. The next day when I was getting out of my car at work, I kicked the handle too so that sucked. I had to take my car to get fixed today but they had to keep it over night since they had to order the part from Salt Lake. 165 dollars is no big deal... Kind of it is but whatever. I dont know how to fix it so thats what happens... I was mostly just glad they could fix it and that I dont have to worry about it anymore. So I get to go pick it up in the morning. Good thing I also get paid tomorrow... Anyway besides all of that its been a pretty non eventful week for me. Found out what I mean to people and I think Im just gonna quit trying to please everyone because its not working and Im not happy either. Im just gonna do what makes me happy and hopefully that will be enough for everyone else. If not, oh well. I guess thats about all for now. Peace and blessins Peace and blessings.
