New Car!

Okay well here is what's new, I bought a car. a nice little Toyota Paseo, its a 1992, it has 196000 miles gets good gas mileage so far, I am going to be taking it to Kanosh this weekend. we will see how it drives.
I noticed this morning that it pulls to the left. I need to have it aligned. I also need to have a chip in the windshield fixed. and then it needs to pass safety and emissions.
which was going to be tight on the wallet but thank you government for taking to much out of my pay check and thank you for giving it back, I will now be able to fix every thing on the car with out having to worry too much about spending too much.

I am thinking its going to be a good car.

I need a name for it though. it came with a name but it just doesn't fit....

funny story....
so I have been on a bike and bus for the past many months right?
I have not been tardy to work in four months.... and then the day after I get a car I am tardy. how lame and embarrassing is that?
plus to day was the mark for when I would be able to have two more points pulled off my record.

I will write more later.

In a Nut Shell

today is Tuesday. this past week end I went to Overton for Jaren Gates home coming talk. I left on Saturday. I took the Aztec shuttle, it was nicer then the st George shuttle but the running times are less flexible. so it has pros and cons. I think next time I will be taking the st George shuttle just because the run times are better.
So on Saturday I had Parris take me to the shuttle stop got on and drove the five hours to ST. George, Nadia was planning on coming and getting me but was not able to so she had one of the guys from the singles branch pick me up. his name is Allen Fabbi. he is a cool kid. getting ready to put in his mission papers just waiting for a few more interviews.
the shuttle got in to ST. George at about six thirty and Allen showed up around seven fifteen. After we got back to the valley I dropped my stuff off at Treve and Anna's where I spent the weekend. I got to play with Sophia for a little while it was great. I then met up with Barbara Becker at Maverick and after purchasing some sugar and caffeine we went over to Chase Hauvers new apartment behind the Overton Post office. we sat and talked till about eleven thirty about old times it was pretty darn fun. Sunday morning I woke up at nine thinking it was ten and got ready for church. I then realized that I was going off of Utah time and played with Sophie for a little bit. I then walked down to the Overton Chapel for Jaren's ward. he gave a great report. he has changed a lot in the maturity level but he is still the same old Jaren.
we then went over to his house for tacos and salad. we then watched some old movies that Chase,Jaren,Patrick Hull,Brad Bloodsoe,Dustin Spreuge, and Oliver Hauver made back when they were 12-14. it was pretty fun to watch. we then went to ward prayer and had cobbler for dessert, afterwards we stayed in the Gym and played line tag, Smurfing, mafia and freeze tag. It was a really fun evening. Monday Morning Chase was kind enough to take me to the shuttle drop off in ST. George, at Five AM. he is my hero. I had such a hard time staying awake. I then Rode the shuttle to meadow where I met up with Mom Madison and Duncan. I bought two Work and the Glory books from DI for Madison, I was able to give those to here while the shuttle stopped for a break in Meadow.
When the Shuttle got to Orem, I waited at McDonald's for the 830 Bus and took it home. I then lazed around the apartment for a while and eventually went down to the hot tub. it was great. FHE got cancelled and so I watched NetFlix all evening.
at about ten Parris Texted me and asked if I could follow her to Lindon to drop Darla off at the Auto Shop so that her Header could be replaced. we drove up there and as we neared the exit parris took off in front of a car and I missed the exit. I then went to the next one and flipped around. we then drove back to her apartment and I rode my bike home. I went to sleep at about twelve and got up at five and am now at work.
I wake up between 4:45 and 5:05 and catch the 811 bus at 5:26 I then ride my bike from the UTA Transfer station to work and usually get here around 5:40.
I then wait about ten minutes for people to show up and then the drama starts.
So far today its been okay.
I mostly sit and wait for any questions to come in.
and that is my weekend in a nut shell.

a pretty big nut shell if you ask me.
so I wonder why we use a nut shell to summarize the size of a story.... why not a pea pod?
what other small Item/container type thing could we use to summarize the size of a story?.

well that's all I got for now.

Blog ya later.

Long weekends

Is it just me or does it seem like you need a vacation from your vacation? I really am sick of traveling I used to think it would be fun to have some kind of job that would take you all around the world or all across the United States, I have come to the conclusion that I would not like it in the least little bit.

I Just got back from Nevada for the fifth time in a month and a half, I hope its a while before I head back down that direction.

It was so good to see friends that I have not seen in a long long time. It was nice to feel at home again.

well the weather is clearing up so I am going to go on a bike ride.

blog ya later.

Random

Well I have changed my schedule back to six am to two thirty pm, I now need to find a second job so I can start making money that will stay in my savings.

I went to the hot tub this after noon and just relaxed, it was great. now I am going to go to the office and grab a cookie.

oh dang, the cookies from Glenwood office are just perfect don't you wish you were here so you could have a Nice warm Chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven? well for all I know you could be eating one now, or even something better( not many things are I can only think of a few) The ladies in the office make a new batch every twenty minutes or so. the cookies are so very satisfying. I have had two today.

As I was eating the cookie I walked around and took some snap shots of the place. I like it here, I guess I must since I have been here for a year and a half.

the weather today isn't the best but its nice to get some clouds every once in a while.

I love the smell of rain, there is just something about the smell that is so unique. I have yet to meet some one who doesn't like the smell of rain.

work was okay today I got to do some research for my superviser and listen to some calls to find out if our agent did what she should or if she messed up. from what I found out she did pretty good.

not sure what else to talk about now so I am going to upload some pictures. see if I can get this figured out.

here is the hot tub that I spend a lot of time in. I love this thing, you hear the most strang and interesting stories from people sitting in here. its a lot of fun. although some things just shouldn't be talked about.... any where...

here is a picture from the back side where there is a pond, I wish they would put some gold fish in the pond but one of the office ladies said it would kill the fish.

a different angle on the hot tub

here are some pictures of parris as she was making dessert for dinner group, she was trying to make some chocolate shell bowls for some Ice-Cream, we used to make these during our fancy Valentines dinners. :)

this first picture is right after we melted the chocolate and parris started dipping, the chocolate was just a little too hot and the balloon popped.

here is what was left of the chocolate bowl....
the rest of it made it to the floor :)

and thats all that I have for today.

blog ya later.
