Crochet



While I was in St.George this past weekend I asked G-Ma Roam to teach me how to crochet because there were some headbands that I saw on TV that I wanted to make. At first it was kind of tricky because I just couldn't seem to get it started out right with the whole wrapping the yarn around and bringing it through and stuff. I finally got it down and they were not as hard to make as I thought they would be. Mine could definitely use a little more work until they are perfect but at least I can do it. G-Ma Hannig also helped me a little bit with how to hold the hook and such. It took me a long to to get the hang of how to hold it but after awhile it got pretty comfortable. Now I just crochet my life away in my free time. All my roommates call me Grandma, but I don't care. It gives me something to do! Here is an awful picture of kara and me wearing the headbands G-ma Roam and I made.

Spark



There is a little lounge in Provo called Spark that only has non-alcoholic drinks that Ryan and me always go to. Last night instead of us 2 just going we decided that it would be a lot more fun if we got a little group together and all went. It was super fun!! We all just hung out got lots of super good drinks and enjoyed each others company. After we went to spark we all just went hot tubbing and hung out. It was an over all fun night. Short post I know but this is all the updates I have for now. Except for like school and work but that's nothing special.

Ice Skating


Most people are out of town still for the Holidays so it has been quite boring lately. Tiffany and me have just been sitting at home every night pretty much being a loser. Last night we decided that we were going to do something. So Tiff, Kaden, and me all we ice skating! I have never been before, so I was pretty excited! None of us were really that great but we still had a lot of fun. We tried doing tricks and stuff. You know how the figure skaters do their cool turns and stuff. Yeah that didn't work out too well for any of us. One day I will be able to do sweet tricks. Bet was that I would not leave there without a broken arm or something but fortunately I left with no injuries.

First stick

I have been working at the plasma place for one whole week now. The training process as gone by so fast!! The first day was no fun at all. I sat and read for eight hours straight. I think i read more that day than I have read in my entire life time!! On Monday they taught me how to set up the machines. I had to set up 25 machines before I could be taught anything else. Once I got all 25 of my set ups I was able to start on DC's which is basically taking the needle out of the persons arm when they are finish donating. I started DC's on Tuesday and had to get 25 of those also. I finished with my DC's in one day. Today I started sticking people. I was so nervous to start sticking people. The first one I did I was shaking real bad, but it ended up going in smoothly. Afterward I was relieved I had done a super good job and it was not even as bad as I thought it was going to be. I just have 20 more sticks to go before I can be certified!! I am glad I pretty much know everything I need to know.

New Job

As most of you know I haven't had a job for quite sometime. Last week I went in for an interview at APX alarm for inside sales position. I have never done sales before, but I just thought I would give it a try and see how it went. Well I started training this last monday and the first 2 days went well. Then I woke up this morning and decided that it probably wasn't the right job for me. Justin had text me yesterday and told me to go in to Bio-medic(a plasma donation center) because his frined manages it. I went there this morning and talk to him. He said that everything looked great and I seemed like a great person for the job and I got it!! I am so excited to be working in a plasma donation center. I get to meet a lot of new people. It is going to be a lot of fun!! Thanks for hooking me up Justin!!

Mini Christmas Tree




You can't have a house without a Christmas Tree at Christmas time. None of us really had money to go out and buy a tree, but I really wanted one. I had a Job interview and I decided that if I got the job I would go buy a tree. I got the job so I went straight to the Chirstmas Tree lot. I only had $15 dollars so all I could afford was a little mini tree but it sure was cute. I brought it home and since I bought the tree my roommates had to buy the decoration. Later that night Kara and Tiffany went out and bought some orniments and lights and of course Tiffany couldn't have a tree with out tinsel. When they got home we blasted the Christmas music, made hot chocolate and decorated the tree all together. It is not the best Christmas tree ever but it does the job for us. After we decorated the tree we went and looked ar Christmas lights. We saw a house that had the whole north pole in thier front room. It was pretty cool!
