Injury

Sorry I haven't updated my blog for ever. I have been so busy lately, but all of a sudden I find myself with all kinds of time...
I am working for Brad for all of you that don't know, and on Tuesday we were out at a job at the ledges, (which is on the road that takes you out to pine valley). My alarm didn't go off that morning so I was late to work, so I just drove my truck out there. So after going back and forth from the shop to pick stuff up they forgot, I finally arrived. I was only at the job for 45 min probably and then it happened. Brad needed a 90 to connect on to the pipe so I was running over to get one. I went to jump over a big heating ac pipe with a sheet metal connector thing on the end to get out of the ditch and i didn't get my left leg high enough. it caught on to the metal and riped my leg open. I thought I just scratched it, so I looked down to check it out and couldn't believe my eyes. you could easily see 3 inches of the bone if not more. I immediately froze, I didn't know what to do. Brad, who was quite a ways a way glanced up and said "oh it's just a little scratch, keep going", not realizing how bad it was. Then the heating and ac guy saw it and came over to help, along with brad who came over to look. They got me out of there and up to the truck, where they realized that they didn't have a first aid kit or a clean rag or anything. So James, a kid I work with, and myself got in my truck and drove to the work med building down by Costco. The whole time James was freaking out, and I was totally calm.
I got 21 stitches in all, 8 underneath and 13 on top. I now hold the record for most stitches at the work med building. Surprisingly my leg wasn't bleeding hardly at all the whole time, it picked up a little more as we got closer to the work med building, but it really wasn't bad. I would have to say the worst part of this experience was when the doc had to numb my leg. He kept poking me with a stupid needle right where the skin ripped off.
But now I can saw that my first time ever getting stitches , I went all out.

Unfortunately the pics just don't do it justice. It was so much worse. You could see layers of skin and the bone. It was really bad.

E.F.Y.

Two weeks ago I went to E.F.Y.! It was so much fun!!! I loved it!!!! it was my 5 year going. I had so many fun and spiritual experiences! It was amazing! I love E.F.Y. so much because of the spirit you always feel and the people who there with you! It is so cool to be with so many youth who have the same standards as you and who are all striving for the same things! It is so awesome! I think one of the coolest things is when you see a change in people. When you have someone in your group who may not have a testimony and isn't sure the first couple days, but then through out they week you start to see a change in them, and by the end, they seem so strong. it is so cool!
My favorite part of E.F.Y. is definitely Thursday!! Thursday is the spiritual day of the week. You wear your church clothes all day, and the young men and young woman split up and go to different classes. Then later that night everyone gets together and the session director talks to you, and then everyone sings the efy medley!! It really is so awesome! As soon as the music starts the spirit just hits you! And it is so amazing to be in the room with a thousand or more youth singing this song! Wow!!! It really is so awesome!!! Then you go to testimony meeting which is always my favorite!! the spirit is so strong and everyone is crying... Yeah.. it is awesome!!!
When I get my pics I'll put some on my blog!!

The End!!!!

ONE MORE DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! AND ONLY TWO DAYS TILL I GRADUATE!!!!!!!! (Cause Wednesday isn't a school day, we just go for a couple of hours and sign year books)

Summer!!

Only two days of school left!!! I can't wait!!! Finally, after all of these years of waiting, I get to graduate!!!! It's crazy cause so many changes are taking place right now. Yesterday was my last day at the chocolate factory, so I won't work at all next week (graduation!!!), and then the following week is E.F.Y. Then the week after efy I start my new job. I am so excited for every thing! It is going to be hard at first, but I am ready for the next step!!

Oompa Loompa no more

So just the other day, on Tuesday I believe, I put in my two weeks notice at work. I am really glad to be done working with chocolate, but it is kinda sad to leave. Just because I have worked there for three years and I enjoy working with the people there. But now I get to graduate and start a new job and learn all kinds of new things. It will be fun.
There are only 12 days left of school!!!! Not counting weekends. I am so excited to graduate. I can't wait. I am done with high school. Except I have to make a senior portfolio, which really sucks. It is due next week I think and I haven't even started it yet.... yeah.... that is going to be a lot of work.
