For My Posterity

I had a talk with Cierra last time the family came up. She and Valerie were once again reprimanding me on my lack of blogging. I didn't think they were going to say anything to really encourage me to blog. However, I was wrong. Cierra said that my posterity would be grateful to her for making me blog. Now I feel guilted into it. So I guess I will occasionally update you on exciting events in my life.

Exciting event #1:
I got hit by a car! Allison, Hillary, and I were happily crossing the street (at a cross-walk mind you) one night when a car came from out of nowhere. I saw it when we first started crossing, but had no doubt in my mind that it would stop. So when I felt something slam into me causing me to roll on top of it, I of course screamed. I think the scream was more from surprise than anything, and I think it scared the drive more than me.

Thankfully I was able to walk away with only a few minor bruises, and a good story. I was definitely being watched over because he was going about 20, and I should have been reasonable hurt. The poor driver was going into shock, and I wasn't thinking very clearly. So in an effort to make him feel a little bit better I thanked him for stopping, apologized for walking in front of him, and then did a dance to show him that all my limbs worked properly. I think by the end of it I had him convinced that I wasn't hurt, but that I was insane.


Exciting event #2:
I am understanding calculus, and actually don't mind the homework!

Exciting event #3:
I had my first consultation for work! Now hopefully I'll be able to get some regular clients so that I can start to support myself again.

It's a New Year!

It's a new year, but not necessarily a new me. I'm hoping a few changes will come about in my life, but nothing drastic for now. I am not one to make new years resolutions, and after my last post I have learned to not make any promises about blogging. So don't expect any wonders from me in blogging this year.

Now that I have that disclaimer out of the way...

Christmas break was a wonderful break from living at the library. It was warm, relaxing, and spent with my wonderful family. However, I do have to admit that after two weeks I was ready to start doing something productive again. So here I am back a school regretting that. I guess you have to be careful what you wish for. It was harder than I thought it would be coming back to real life. I left this beautiful St. George weather...



And was greeted with calculus, physics, and this...


It honestly snowed for 24 hrs without stopping. It was becoming routine to help push a car out of the snow on the way to school. But I can't really complain, it's gorgeous, and I love the way snow makes the world seem like a quieter place.

I'm just going to post a few more pics from Christmas break.
Here is Christmas pond in Salem, UT. We took a detour to see this on our way up to Heidi's wedding.


Well I was hoping to post a few more of the actual fam, but apparently my computer is having issues so this will have to do for now.
Happy New Year!
