School isn't so bad---time consuming yes, but what else would better be filling my time now? and besides i forget how much I love learning! and I missed my girls more than I thought i did! I love the warmth of arizona! I missed the endorphins from Zumba! and the hollywood-esque feeling i have driving in my convertable, top down, sunglasses on, driving by a row of palm trees and ginormous houses! life is really really good right now and I hope I enjoy the ride!<br /><br

things i consider to be amazing! So saturday before the hustle and bustle of the grocery shopping for my brother's farewell began I made a promise to myself I would check out the Farmers Market in Salt Lake-since I've always wanted to go. Well it is amazing! and i'm going again this weekend BUT not only did I find these absolutely GORGEOUS sunflowers </span><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0gEsSDPbXtUijCEHNwqrfVHOBK2LWNgzS-lU4tUlzNypCuoMAGfwF5C_NqXLi2pAzFAKsHbz_cOtEEaFB11tJYlVfSQf-SUDde_8vB0-O9ZaYDoTSEmLFMzG6VQbTjJdwqc7sr4eJ3qU/s1600-h/IMG_7632.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 125px; height: 83px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0gEsSDPbXtUijCEHNwqrfVHOBK2LWNgzS-lU4tUlzNypCuoMAGfwF5C_NqXLi2pAzFAKsHbz_cOtEEaFB11tJYlVfSQf-SUDde_8vB0-O9ZaYDoTSEmLFMzG6VQbTjJdwqc7sr4eJ3qU/s400/IMG_7632.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369839701266958322" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;"> for the centerpieces BUT an added bonus when I got to shake hands with President Utchdorf!! </span><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://newsroom.lds.org/Static%20Images/Newsroom/photo/med_Uchtdorf_large.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 137px; height: 170px;" src="http://newsroom.lds.org/Static%20Images/Newsroom/photo/med_Uchtdorf_large.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;"> yeah really! I was such a nerd about it though---i was standing there just looking at him thinking to myself 'I know I know him....' and then my eyes got real big as it dawned on me why his face was so familiar I just stood there mouth gaped open staring at him while my hands were busy texting my brother (who if you note from the previous blog is an even bigger admirer of President Utchdorf) when reality came back to my and I continued on my way still in awe-that is until my brother asked if I shook his hand. Feeling dejected at missing probably my only opportunity ever to meet him I continued around the farmers market absentmindedly until there he was again! I knew this time I had to say something so trying to be subtle I just asked if I could shake his hand---he cordially held out his hand and smiled.

style="">my car---well it. . .it just didn’t start. and at the most convenient time to right when i was headed to church. I was almost stranded at home thankfully my roommate Holly hadn’t left just yet (blessing #1). But what to do about my dead car. like i know anything about cars--if i did mine would certainly be treated better. luckily Holly had a friend come over that night for dinner. he just happens to be a race car driver and used to be a mechanic (blessing #2). He diagnosed the battery and offered to take me to the store to buy one right now but I told him not to worry about it and I would go the next day. Thankfully Abbie could pick me up for our 7am class (3) and she was gracious enough to also take me to Autozone to buy a new battery (4). which I was so determined to install myself. Too bad after an hour of research and an hour of trying (stupid corroded battery terminals) in the heat feeling defeated I had to resign my efforts and call for help---thankfully my home teachers had just come over the on sunday (5) and one of them said he could come jump start the car (6). autozone said they could replace it sicne i bought it there (7). back to autozone. the manager Chris recognized me again and teased me about coming back. (which made me smile) but tony helped change the battery. I got a chance to talk to tony while he changed the battery (yeah after watching him there was no way I could have done it on my own) He used to play for the raiders and almost married a mormon girl from Logan Utah he is from a small town in Nevada. He has 7 kids of his own and a bad shoulder-which is why he is no longer a football player. Talking to him was a nice distraction from the list I was complining in the back of my mind of what I needed to be doing.but somehowe I made it to my(8) class </span></span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:100%;" >to let off some steam and look goofy for an hour.<span style="font-size:130%;"> and ultimately I did get at least something done.<br />The next day I was headed to the cadaver lab </span><span style="font-size:130%;">early to meet up with Abbie and some friends to review----jump in the car---dead. my first thought was like---'yeah, no, this isn't happening--not again!' my next thoughts were a swirling composte heap of panic about how to fix this-I felt stranded, overwhelmed and I had MIDTERMS to study for (okay so they were a week away but still). I was supposed to be at school in like 5 minutes </span></span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:130%;" > [</span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:130%;" >(9) </span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">afterthought </span>it was a HUGE blessing that I wasn't late to a <span>class</span>]</span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:130%;" >. Abbie was already there. feeling defeated and on the verge of tears I walked back in the house. I asked holly about the jumper cables she said she had. but turns out she doesn’t. she suggested asking the neighbors. So at 9am I bothered the neighbors. they didn’t have any---‘ask the gardner’---so I bothered the gardner. he didn’t have any. neighbor comes back out—‘oh wait I do have some’ but not knowing how to really<span style=""> </span>used them I couldn’t get the car started. after a mini panic (and several pleas to a higher power for help) holly graciously offered to give me a ride to school (10) and again Abbie a ride home (11). thankfully holly had another guy friend (she has a lot of guy friends she likes to cook for) came over for dinner and he jump started my car before my hometeachers even had a chance to come over </span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:130%;" >(12)</span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:130%;">. back to autozone. where I met steve he was quiet but he too almost married a mormon girl. I don't know how the mormon subject kept coming up---okay it was probably the utah license plates.<br />after about an hour he diagnosed the car-the alternator. he said he’s pretty sure they would have the part (13). I asked if he knew some place I could get it replaced. and that is where chris came it. chris recognized me from my two time visit the day before and he said he could replace it for me (14). what are the odds---I’m really blessed (did you loose count cause i almost did). car better.</span><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">so now that the week was half over i buckled down to study.
