“I’m only here for the food!”

       Ok, so I am going to Florida tomorrow for a week and I thought that I should probably make a post before I leave. It has been a while anyway. I am SO excited to go to Florida and to have a family vacation. I will write a post about it when I get home and by that point I will hopefully have my mission call!! YAY!!! Any last minute guesses? Feel free to put your guess in a comment if you havent guessed already! I had everyone make 2 guesses one in the United states and one out.

     Alright, now I will tell you a little about what is going on in my life. Work is still going very well. I still love it and really enjoy being there. I will be honest there are days that I would rather do something else, but you probably get that with every job. Another coworker quit without notice. (I’ll call her D) That will make 3 in a month, and 4 since I started working there. I guess nobody gives 2-week notices anymore. Its strange really. I dont get it. Oh and I had a girl got fired the second week I was there too. So that makes 5 losses. Maybe I am bad luck…. Oh well. Anyway, D was over the wedding side of where I work. She was THE wedding consultant, so now we dont have one and we have 3-5 weddings this month I believe. Luckily they have someone that can temperarily step in for a bit. I thought about it, and were I not going on a mission, I would train for that job. I would love to be someone’s wedding consultant! I think it would be pretty fun. But oh well, I have other things I need to do. Anyway, the point of bringing all that up was just to say that I am already getting more hours! Hurray!! AND, when I get back from Florida I will be starting my second job.

         A lady in my family’s ward teaches swim lessons in her back yard pool and I am going to lifeguard for her in the mornings! I am VERY excited about it. I worked for her the summer after I graduated high school and loved it! Plus I will be getting 2 more dollars an hour than I do working at the Inn. So I have been very blessed in that part of my life for sure. I have figured out a sort of budget for myself and it seems to be working quite well. It may be thrown off a bit on this vacation, but we’ll see.

      Our dryer is not working. It hasnt been for over a week. Its been interesting kinda annoying. Mostly its not too bad but what bothers me is that “outdoor” smell. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Like when someone has been playing outside for awhile and they come in and they have a certain stench about them? Yeah, thats what my clothes smell like and it almost makes me sick. I am really big on smells and I almost cant handle it. Luckily some materials don’t pick it up as much. (It’s really not as bad as it sounds. I guess I just wanted to complain about something)

      I am in a new ward. And I really think I am going to like it. Its a little smaller than my regular ward because it’s summer, which means it will be easier to meet new people. A couple friends who kinda live around me decided that we should carpool so that means I will save some money on gas! Plus its nice to not have to go alone. Oh and today I sat in front of a young man with a beautiful voice. I quite enjoyed it. Afterwards I thanked him for sitting behind me and told him that he should every week. We’ll see how that turns out. I may have just freaked him out. story of my life.

       This weekend I went canoeing. I LOVE canoeing! But I discovered one thing about myself. I am not always very… whats the word… patient? Tolerant? when it comes to canoeing. I don’t know what word works best really so I will explain what I mean. OK, So we get the canoe in the water and the guy I was with asks me if I want to sit in front or in the back. The person in the back steers. Now, there is kinda a rule that if a guy and a girl are in a canoe, it is the guy that steers, so of course I chose the front. But I am not sure if that was such a good idea. Because my problem is some people just cant steer. (sigh) And then I get rammed into bushes. So next time I may just steer it myself. That way I don’t have to get frustrated with anyone. Its not good for my blood pressure. But one thing that is really fun that everyone should try when you go canoeing is to get a ball and have a contest to see who can hit the ball in the other canoe the most. I actually was not very good at it. All I could to was splash. Which also proves to be pretty effective. I was the official “distracter” Sounds intense huh?

          DW got a new motorcycle yesterday! For 200 bucks and it runs! PLUS it is a little bit less threatening and intimidating than his other one, so I may just learn how to drive it! Sweet huh? Also this weekend I got to ride a scooter for the first time. (the motorized kind) K and J brought it over to Gnome and Rizzo’s house and they let me try it out! It made me want one. So tempting especially when you think about what it would save on gas.  I wanted to ride on it forever! Until a bug got in my eye.

      Well, I believe that is it for now, I really need to pack for my trip. I havent even started yet.
