Do you like how the paper is in its little blue bag on the ground, HAHA!


So all you Medskers out there (and anyone else who wants to play), who sings the song?! Its quiz time! No using the Internet, you just have to know off the top of your head! Next blog post I will post who sings the song, hooray!

My life has basically consisted of work lately. And making cookies! And hanging out with Mike! At work I have a lot of fun usually. I have saran wrapped my bosses office twice and "BYU-ed" it once (blue streamers and a sign). And I get away with it. Its great. I really enjoy working at the front desk a lot. Sometimes its a little stressful, but for the most part its really fun. There is a bagger named Garrett, and he is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! He is autistic and he is just he cutest ever. Yesterday I was singing the Subway "5, $5, $5 footlong!" song and he sang it with me. He is so fun. He was standing up at the desk and I had just pulled off the last piece of tape off the role and I said "Garrett do you want the last piece of tape from the roll?" And he said "uh.. sure." So I gave it to him and about 10 minutes later I said "Garrett, can you go get some carts outside please?" And he said "Yeah, but what do you want to do with this piece of tape?" He still had it! Haha! It was so cute, I told him he could throw it away. He is so fun. One day he did his hair combed to the side so Lindsey (my friend) and I both told him his hair looked nice and he smiled so big and just lit up. SO cute. The other day my friend Justin and I filled an office in the back full of crates, and during the night a stack of them fell in front of the door and the people who came in the morning had to go through the light in the ceiling and get the crates out that way.. I love my job. Most the time. I am not sure what else to write, so this will be the end of my post. Love you all!

I have spring fever so badly! I cannot wait until it is nice and warm and I can go outside!! Mike will start softball in the summer and I am excited for that so I can go watch him play some games sometimes in his nice little softball or baseball pants whoo whoo!! It will be so nice when its warm and I can start running again!

CAR!

Okay everyone, I am sorry I am such a slacker!! I will try to blog more. I was going to post pics with this blog of my car, but I decided then it might never get done, so I will post the pics whenever I take them. I will just write the post right now. So the weekend before last, my dad and I took off Saturday morning and headed out... CAR SHOPPING! I had a car I wanted to check out in Centerville. So we headed to the place where the car was at, and I looked at some other cars and also that one. It was a really pretty color, but it had said it was an automatic on the Internet and it was a manual. Not that I have anything against manuals, I just don't want one. LOL. So we thank the guy for letting us test drive some of his cars and leave. We start heading northward and hit a couple other lots and just kind of look quickly. Then we go to Murdock Chevrolet, and we walked in the doors and can you say BEAUTIFUL CORVETTE?! Now can you say FOUR? Oh man, I was drooling all over those little babies. So we walk in and the general manager, Mike, comes up and shakes our hands and says hello. He hooks us up with a guy named Tommy who asks what kind of car I am looking at. I say I want to get a Chevy Cobalt, so he pulls out a nice one that was on the lot. Totally tricked out with the sound system, XM raido, new wheels, everything. So I took it for a drive and I really liked it! So we went in to talk prices and apparently he had mixed up the numbers of this car with those of another one, so the car leaped like 3,ooo in price. I was pretty upset. So he brings over his sale manager, and we talk to him. His name was Trent. He asked us what price range we were looking at and we told him, and we said even if it was like a couple hundred more we could work with that, and he went back and looked at his inventory and brought out the names of two cars. One was a Hyundai Elantra, and I didn't want that. And the other was a Chevy Malibu. And I was like.. well lets look at the Mailbu. So Tommy pulls it around and it was a gorgeous sage green color. So we look at it and I take it for a spin. And I liked it more than the Cobalt! It was a bit bigger, so it was more roomy and I just liked it more. Not totally tricked out like the Cobalt, but it still had a nice stereo and gas mileage and stuff. So we go back in, and we start talking prices with Trent. And the price he got it down to was like 700 more than what we had told him. And so my dad got really mad and they were kind of arguing, and my dad says he wants to speak to the general manager. So Mike comes over and my dad is explaining his frustrations to him, which are valid, and I was frustrated too and I just didn't want a car anymore. So Mike goes back and says okay this is what we can get you the car for and my dad was like "Okay I said a couple hundred, you guys keep showing us cars and then raising the price like this, etc etc" and Mike said "What is a couple hundred to you? is 200 a couple hundred?" And my dad says yes and so they work it out and I feel like crying because I hate people fighting and I end up getting the car and 3 free oil changes and he offered to fill up our suburban. That is my car story.
Last weekend, I went to Mike's.. in my CAR :) :) and we went to the Draper Temple Open house, and it was SO GORGEOUS! Wow, it was so pretty wow wow wow! It was so pretty and the feeling was jsut amazing. After that we went out to eat at Johnny Carino's and that was some excellent Italian food. We also went to Circuit City then we went back to his place and watched some "How I Met Your Mother" and then we ate dinner and took his two nephews and his niece swimming. That was so fun! They are all so cute, and they like me more than Mike. LOL. They are really fun kids. This week Mike and I are going to the Logan temple probably to do baptisms, so that will be fun. After that I hope it is good weather for a hike or some rock climbing.
A lot of you have been wanting to see a pic of Mike.. so here is a pic!
