I need a new life...

Work started out pretty good today. I had some friendly passengers who were pleasant conversation; An old anthropology professor was on board, and totally remembered me; And a railroad crossing sign came down on my bus. See, pretty good. But then I had some annoying/rude passengers, I had to switch buses, my stomach hurt, I was behind schedule ALL DAY, and I left my book on the bus. So it's official, I'm sick of my job. I REALLY REALLY need to get job in my major field now. Today was just the motivation I needed.

On a more unpleasant note, Max was fired on Friday. He is sort of a lose cannon. One day after work he was giving me a ride home and started asking me about my love life. He then proceeded to tell that all I need to do is bat my eyelashes and I can have any guy I wanted. Also, after I got back from Yemen he said I had been very missed and was very loved. He can be very off-putting at times but he was always nice to me. His wife also works with us and she's also very nice and is also a fan of me. (I apparently like to use the word 'also').

Also, Mary came to town last weekend and We went to Lagoon with some friends of mine. We had fun. Here's a couple of pictures from that fatefully fun night.

Updating My Life

It's been a very busy past few weeks for me. Things have been kind of crazy. I moved at the beginning of the month into an apartment with my friend Crista. We've been painting and cleaning and we both work and she also goes to school, so it's been a very slow process to say the least. My sister Mary came down for conference weekend from Rexburg and helped us do some painting as well. She's a good couple inches taller then either of us, so she was much appreciated.

I also had the opportunity to go to the Timpanogos Caves with a couple of friends. It was a really nice hike and the caves were amazing and the scenery on the way up was amazing. We actually went twice. The first time we went we just happened to show up on the only day in the history of the park that they were offering admittance to the park and cave tours for free. Tickets were sold out by 9 am. Needless to say, we didn't get to see the caves but we enjoyed the hike anyway. Then later on that week we went back and were able to see the caves. Here's some pictures.

Inside the Caves





We also had the chance to drive up American Fork Canyon. It was so beautiful this time of year. I LOVE all the fall colors. Being from California where there is very little change in seasons, has given me a great appreciation for all the colors of fall.
