Big Steps!
Tonight I start off on a new journey. It is one that I have been looking forward to and I am finally getting the guts to set the plans rolling.
Would You Like Fries with that?
I am working at McDonald's in Mesquite...well one of them and I am quickly becoming the Drive Thru Queen! Okay so maybe my skills aren't that impressive yet, but for only three days and being able to take orders and stuff with minimal supervision is pretty impressive. AND I clean dishes and make parfaits and salads (well eventually) I did make 5 parfaits tonight so whatever! My hours are the later shift hours so that will be fun and basically that is when I am most awake anyways. My feet are killing me though but now I have the proper shoes and some foot gel pad stuff so I should be fine! Also I work with Morgan Jobst and I am pretty sure it is awesome. Everyone is so nice and helpful and it is really a fun experience so far.
Friday we had a surprise party for Barbara at Logandale park, it was pretty awesome and although we didn't get to watch any movies, we did play a ton of fun games and we had awesome frosting wars and water fights. I think almost everyone got frosting on their face/hair and water squirted on them. Of course Oliver went and dumped two bag fulls of water on me...and neglected to return to the favor to jason who has squirted him with water too. Robert and I wrestled over a gun, he did squirt me a couple times, but I ended up with the gun so in all due respect I have to say that I won. He is pretty strong though and I had to really try haha but I STILL GOT IT!!!!!
This past week I was out in California taking Erica home from Nevada. I came home on Wednesday after picking up Barbara who happened to be in Huntington Beach....yeah I managed to get lost and ended up near San Pedro Harbor...I turned around and found the PCH than a short while later I found Barbara. It was a fun ride home and I am glad we got to spend quite a bit of time together. We saw Alice in Wonderland on Saturday and tomorrow morning she is leaving to Rexburg since school starts on Tuesday for her...I am really going to miss her. That woman is my best friend and it really sucks not seeing her, even though we talk all the time.
I need to go and talk to President Leavitt. I have to get the ball rolling on some things and I know he can help me with them. I have a lot to think about and a lot to plan for and I need some guidance. He will know what to do. I am so excited though for this year. I have a feeling a lot is going to be changing and soon!!!

Miracle League!!!!
This Saturday is the Miracle League Opening and I am going to be a buddy for two of the three games! I am so excited about it and I am just THRILLED that FINALLY after like 6 years the field is up and running and that I get to be a part of such a wonderful organization! Helping people with disabilities to play America's favorite pasttime....seriously how wonderful is that?!
I invite everyone who can make it to 101 South Rancho Drive, Las Vegas, NV on the 10th to come out and enjoy it! You can sign up to be a buddy (only wise if you plan on coming to games to help play) or if you are just visiting you can watch and buy a shirt or a hat and just enjoy the wonderfulness of it all!
I can bet you there won't be a dry eye in the place when Dan "the Man" throws that first pitch! He has been practicing and I have heard that he has quite an arm!
YAY MIRACLE LEAGUE!!!!
