Fun at the Park

So my new job is going well, and we're going to be having a breakfast party on Friday, which also means I have to go at 4:30 which I'm not too excited about, but it'll be fun. I don't have to talk to the annoying girl too much. I feel a little bad for not trying to make better friends with her, but it's too early for that. We work well together, though, and I think I already know more than her, because she's beginning her third week, and whatever. Makes me feel in the know.
When I got home from work last night, I walked in to find Clark, Eric, and Creg all talking with Leesa. A little later, Eric, Matt, Aaron, Leesa and I went to the park to draw in chalk, and do some general playing. We played the lava monster game, chicken, gladiator on the balance beam, and sat on the jungle gym for a while. I got to know Eric pretty well, and we all had lots of fun. I hope this becomes a trend!
Also, I got two letters from Tim, which were really great to get, and a package from Mother, which was also amazing to get. Also, for all those who know him/care, TLK or Kyle as he is sometimes called, came into work a couple days ago, and I think he's coming back to work for Gayle. He looked great, and you couldn't even tell anything was different. By the way, Mom, I think I should start arranging my trip home for August so I can get time off, and get a ticket back to Utah. Love to all!

Video Tour

Here is a video tour of my house. I find it's a lot better than just a photo tour, because you get a better idea of what it looks like. I forgot to mention the sweet moss color of my door and house, and the awesome Strawbetty Shortcake poster in our room. I hope you like it!

Happy Birthday and Mothers Day!

Carlie, you're 17! That is totally blowing my mind!!! I hope 17 is a great year for you!


Happy Mother's Day Mom!!! I was thinking about you all during church today because it was the underlying theme. The real theme was service, but motherhood fits into that pretty well. There was a post secret that said

And I want you to know that that goes for me too. I love you so much, and I am so lucky to have you in my life!

Other news, I got a library card, and a nasty sunburn yesterday. We had a dinner party with a bunch of random people over, and had a great time. My new roommates (Amanda and Sarah) are super cool, and it's going to be fun living with them.

I'm Back!

After an absence from the Internet, I've made my glorious come back. And thank you to all those who were going to harass me for not writing, and remembering that I couldn't. I hope this satisfies you.

Today was my first Sunday of the BYU 84th ward, and it was pretty awesome! I've never had Relief Society first, so this will be interesting. My bishop is a former NBA player, and he is 6'10. He is also super nice, so I can't wait to get to know him. We walked home with a guy named Robbie, and we ended up just hanging out on our part of the sidewalk. As time went on, more and more people congregated with us, so we had a group of like 12 random people from our ward. It's pretty awesome. We have a break the fast at 4:30 and a ward prayer at 8:30 that I think I shall attend. There are a ton of cool people in our ward, so I'm way excited. I also got to know my roommate Amanda better today, and she says Y'all really often, and it's really cute. I have a feeling we're not going to get very well acquainted with Sarah and our kind of roommate Trisha. They are dating brothers who live at the Colony too, and we haven't seen much of them this week. It will most likely become a trend. But they're cool.

I'm going to get a second job this week, and I hope to start working it by the end, whatever it may be. I'm going to start running every morning around 7:30 or 8, because this whole sleeping in thing and never leaving the house is a drag. I'm going to go give plasma with my friend David on Tuesday. I tried to make him promise to drag me home if I faint, but he said he'd just leave me. I guess I'll just have to not faint, which I can do.

A digital tour of my apartment will follow shortly. Now I must go bake rolls.
