There is a HUGE puddle in the middle of the road on the back way to the sand dunes, I have only seen in dried out once in my life. So we went around and the fields surrounding it are empty because people go four wheeling out there all the time, the mud was so slippery and gross, I was too chicken to do much, then we drove out further and found some smaller puddles and my dad told me to go through them fast so I wouldn't get stuck, with mud flying everywhere and my dad laughing, it was so fun! There were about 3 of them, then we drove back to the HUGE puddle and my dad told me to do what he said, so I did, I went to the middle of the field, turned the wheel as far as I could and floored the gas, HOLY COW!!!! My tires were spinning and mud was flying everywhere, then he told me to turn the wheel and go the other way. It was so fun! My jeep was so dirty. When we got back to the house I parked it so the dirtiest part was facing the road, well that night we had a huge rain storm and it washed the drivers side off, and I didn't want to drive around with a half clean/half dirty jeep, so I froze my butt off spraying the mud off. I was going to wash it before I went to Page, but it's a good thing I didn't, the roads between Kanab and Page were really icy and I got dirty water all over it(people in Northern Utah probably know what I am talking about). When I got up for church today there were dirty icicles melting off where the tires are. But I diffently need to wash it soon. If I didn't have the back wiper and fluid on the back I would have gone crazy. But it was FUN and totallly worth it!
These two pictures are christmas morning. We really don't take a lot of pictures christmas morning, so these are kinda dumb.
Christmas was a fun day. Chris woke me up a little after 8. When we were kids we had to be up at 7. So it's nice as adults to sleep a little longer. Trent, Chris, Emily and me all got nintendo DS's, so that was fun. Cory gave me a "boy" game. It's a monster truck game, I just thought that was funny. But it's actually a fun game. Then he gave me 2 fire fighter t-shirts, a sweatshirt and a beanie all for Lake Montezuma/Rimrock department. I'm excited.
My parents gave me more than I expected. I didn't get a dog though! :( But I know why.
I went to Page on saturday, it was fun. I didn't leave as early as I wanted to. But I was there for a few hours, I wish I had been there longer, but oh-well. I don't want to wait as long to go back down there next time. At least I know there is a next time.
My grandma let me look through a little journal/scrapbook that she is going to give my uncle Ronnow one of these days, it was so interesting to look through there. My mom has one too, but it's in storage so I've never see it. But it has a letter from my grandma Dorene(she died 2 years before I was born) to my grandpa from a time she thought she was going to die, it was a real tear jerker, but good. I think my grandma Dorene sounded really neat. It was only a few sentences, but I loved it, so I got a copy of it, because it was to my grandpa, not one of her kids. Then there was a tribute to her written by my aunt Jeannie for grandma Dorene's funeral. I thought that was really good. Funny and good. I love reading things like that.
That trip was a good trip for me. I always love going down there. I guess I've always had a connection with my grandma(even though she's my step grandma- she will always be a real grandma to me). I personally think she's awesome!
I found out today that the Hurricane's singles branch will stay at 1 pm, YEAH!!! I'm excited. I hate 9 am church. I just can't do it. I've tried it(every 3 years of my life) and now that I am on a night shift, it's just to hard to suddenly change my sleeping habits. It's crazy.
Ok, one more thing before I go, my grandma and me were talking about blogs and how she can't get on private blogs, she kept calling them blobs. Not really realizing it was a g not a b. And as I was trying to leave she told me who all to tell she loves, she went down the list naming EVERYONE, then as I was walking out the front door(clear on the other side of the house) she yelled some more names. It was funny! She cracks me up!
