Dead Car!

I never knew fixing a car was soooo time consuming until I actually tried to fix one. On January 17 I spent all day working on my car with Bro. Deverauxe, and it was good at the beginning. We got the engine to turn, and we thought everything was going to work fine, but that was not the big problem after all. Long story short we tried to check everything and fiddles with all the parts, but in the end... a part of the engine pushed it’s way out the side of the engine and it’s a dead car now… it’s really a BIG bummer because I thought I was going to be able to drive it to school and back this semester, but it looks like either I pay for gas in the van or get a bus pass. I don’t know what’s the best idea but oh well. I learned a lot about an engine though, so it wasn’t all a waste of time.

Temple trip

Yesterday was our Stake Temple trip, and I though I should tell you about it. We were told to be at the church at 8:45am to get all situated and be able to leave by 9. I admit we (Riley and I) did get there a little late but everyone was just waiting around so it wasn't that bad. The drive there was pretty boring! Everyone brought Ipods/MP3 players and it was just really quiet, but we got there pretty fast and we were actually early at the temple.

We got our suits and got all in white and then all the other YW started to arrive. The chapel was filled with YW and we had a little prayer meeting and then we started doing baptisms. I'm pretty sure we had way more YW than they were expecting and it took a long time to get all the girls through. Riley and I were the last ones to be done in our ward group, so we had to rush to get dressed because everyone was waiting to get lunch in the cafeteria.
After eating lunch we just hanged around outside the temple. We took some pictures and just talked while we waited for the boys to be done with their session. The boys did take a long time and what I’ve heard; they had the same problem as the girls did.

Finally we were all ready to go and it would about 4 by now.. i think. Ardis, our driver and Bro. Tracy still hadn't had any lunch so we stopped at in-and-out and got food. I decided that getting fries and a milk shake would be good, but I was very wrong. I felt so sick afterward that I really thought I might throw up; my least favorite thing to do but it was bad! Luckily CJ started texting me and I had something to distract me or it really would of been an awful drive. While talking to CJ, we realized that they were about 20 seconds ahead of us on the freeway, and because Bro. Moore is such a good driver and drives the speed limit we were able to catch up! It was lots of fun, and I have to say driving home was a lot better than driving there, even with a stomach ach.

Missing Sarah

Aww, I miss you Sarah! Schools starting pretty soon and i'm so worried to find my classes, without you right there with me! I found this pictures and it hit me how much we were two peas in a pod. What were we even doing before we both fell asleep..? Not only did you make the house more fun, here at home, but i never relized how much of the cleaning you did! i feel like i'm cleaning all the time now... Anyways i miss you a lot! Esepially at night when i'm all alone in the bedroom. I wont admit it to mom or anyone becuse she's bound to move someone in or boxes or something, but i miss talking your ear off at night. Whew! just make sure you stay far away from those handsome guys for me! I love you Sarah!!
