I had a realization today about what kind of person I really am.. i really like to live by my work or school. I am not a commuter. I don't know what the opposite of commuter is but that is what I am. This all started when I was in the seventh grade and we lived a block from the Jr. High School. I woke up at 7:50 and made it to school by 8:05. Since then and minus a few years in high school, I have lived a block away from my school and work. I now live 10 minutes(5 long stop lights) from UNLV and I think it might kill me. I didn't realize how lucky I have been my whole life.

Another new thing for me that is going to take getting used to is locking my door all the time and having a key to get into my house. I don't even know when the last time I even had a house key in my possession. For some reason, I have lived in many houses where we leave the doors wide open all night long. We got some pretty good wanderers at the Buddha house at weird hours of the night and I've woken up to strangers on my couch in the Canal House. But I never felt that I was in any harm. It makes me have anxiety when I can't trust everyone in my town. I guess it is just more things that I have to get used to on this mainland.

Aunt April will always be the funniest person in the world to me.


So what do you get when you give about 21 kids these awesome sticks with padding on them? One rad game and Aunt Beth telling everyone not to hit anyone else in the head.

We went to the Beaver mountains for a family reunion on the Dotson side. It was really good to see everyone. Tyson brought his 3 kids along. We were staying at a trailer that belongs to Dick and Toni but we got to the trailer at night and had no idea if we were in the right trailer. Since everyone is so trusting in these parts and trailers open with knives we just opened it right up and went to sleep really wondering whose trailer we were in. But in the end it all worked out and we were in the right place. Well some people went to sleep. Well some kids went to sleep. I don't think I can sleep with 3 Faye's in a bed again.
