LOST!!!

No I am not lost, I know I am in Utah, working as a janitor at Jordan Hills Elementary. I mean the TV show that starts the 21st of this month. It is the fifth season and apparently there is only going to be six seasons. Well I never got into the show on TV until I moved back to Utah after last summer. Tawnya had gotten addicted to it while being with her roommate and her family. When I moved back Tawnya introduce it to me and we started with season one trying to catch up to today. It has been an exciting adventure. We finished the third season before Christmas and Tawnya had reserved the fourth season at the library, but she got the fourth season for Christmas. So this past week I have been watching it with Tawnya's roommate, Shauna and her sister, Jenny. It has been fun but some really late nights. Last night we finished it at 2 in the morning. Totally worth it!!!! I know you probably think I am a loser, but now I am ready for the fifth season to start. The hardest part will be having to watch only one episode a week. :) Sorry people I am busy every Wednesday starting the 21st. :) Maybe you should try and get "LOST" too. :)

Time to Return to Life

This Christmas break has been much needed. Nobody ever wants their vacation to end, but much to our chagrin, it always does. I have had lots of fun these past 10 days. I loved hanging out with my nieces and nephew, and also the Bators' entire family! I got home early on Christmas eve. For a few years now, Christmas Eve has been our family Christmas party where we just give out all our gifts so the grand kids can go home to santa. Everyone was there, including Shaley, (Howard's fiance at the time) and the missionaries, which has been a tradition for as long as I can remember. Howard got married on the 26th and it was a blast. There were a lot of people out for the party and it seemed like everyone had a great time. Tawnya was the DJ and helped everyone get their groove on. The 29th was a fun day cause I was able to go to Timberwolves game, which wasn't all that great, but they did win, so what else can you ask for. The one thing I would have changed was having Mad Dog Madsen play in the game, just for those of us who love LDS Professional sports players.

New Years Eve I spent it at my second home where we did fondue and a talent show. Then when people started to get tired, we had a dance party and it was a hoot! A hoot and a hollar! New Years day was spent watching the Rose parade and football! WAHOO! I spent the evening doing laundry, packing, and spending time with my parents. It was just my parents and me home, so we curled up in their bed and watched two movies that got us all bawling until almost 1am. Good Times had by all. Now it is time to drive back to Utah and get back into my real life where I try to make the best out of my whole situation. That situation being single, in a world all about MARRIAGE! Being single is not bad though, don't get me wrong. I love not being responsible for anyone else, but I wouldn't mind some change in my life. 2009 is all about change, so let's BRING IT ON! 2009=ALL ABOUT ME!

Baptism by FIRE!!!

This last week was a crazy one for me because my boss went in to have some tests run on his heart and has found out he has a thing called ''sudden death syndrome".  This means that his heart could just stop working all of a sudden and he would die.  Well, he went in for surgery on Wednesday, last week, and had a defibulator put in.  This is so if his heart does stop beating, he will receive a shock to his heart, to start it back up again.  We all thought he would be back to work this Wednesday, but I just found out that he will be out for the rest of the month.  This means I will be taking over his morning shift and one of our high school students will be locking up the building at night.  I don't know very much about how to fix the problems in the school, or how to order things, or put in work orders to the district, but I am learning a lot and now I need to learn faster.  It gets frustrating at times, but what job doesn't?  My district boss came in to see how I was doing today and told me that he has full confidence in me and knows I will do a great job.  I guess my supervisor, who is the one that is teaching me everything, has told the district boss that I am great, I just need the training.  I have only had one class for training, and that was last week when my supervisor found out I hadn't had any training.  So I think it is definitely safe to say I am being baptized by fire into this job.  I am praying for the snow to stay away for this month because I will have to be to work at 5am to get all the plowing done.  AHHHHH!!!
