An Angel in a Silver Toyota Sedan

-

I moved to Tremonton this past weekend, and it came with a lot of changes. It marked the end of an era: no more living with roommates. Instead, it’s the beginning of something new, a step closer to marriage with my fiancé. We spent the past couple of days getting settled in. I unpacked everything in my craft room, spent time with my fiancé and his dog, and spent some time on Sunday relaxing. I saw a rainbow when I left for work this morning and it felt like a little reminder of my awesome weekend. 

I can't be in the car without some kind of background noise, and since none of my favorite podcasts post before 7am on Mondays, I queued up the Jeremy Renner memoir I've been listening to. It's about his accident a few years back! I was locked in and cruising at about 60mph down the quiet backcountry road, heading toward the highway. Out of nowhere, a car coming from the opposite direction flashed its headlights at me. I was so confused. Was something wrong with my car? I immediately slowed down to check if my headlights were on, then I wondered if I had my brights on or something. I noticed that nothing seemed weird on my dashboard and was annoyed that I slowed down for nothing. I rounded a curve just before the road met the highway, and I immediately understood. 

Lying in the middle of my lane was a dead deer. If I hadn't slowed down to puzzle our what the flashing lights meant, I would have hit it at full speed with no time to react. Thanks to my angel in a silver Toyota sedan I just enough time to swerve safely into the other lane to avoid hitting it. 

I would not have been able to see the deer until I was practically on top of it. After the imminent danger was in my rearview, I had a moment of immense gratitude for the warning that person gave me. Who knows what would have happened if I hadn't gotten that warning!

Yesterday I went to my grandparents house to go and see their new dog. While we were there some of us started playing their Wii, and the rest of us watched a movie. While I was watching the movie my dad walked into the room and said," Connor is here." I couldn't believe what I was hearing so I said, "What?!!....um.... I mean so what? Who cares?" Then my aunt smiled and sweetly said,"Sunbum, will you go and get me a glass of water from the kitchen?" "Uh, sure." I answered. So I walked down the stairs and saw him. I gasped in horror when I found that in fact my dad wasn't lying to me, he truly was there sitting on the sofa where I had just rested my butt on, then I realized that his dad was Home Teaching !!! I pulled myself together and ran past the living room where they were sitting (he was facing my way so of course he saw), and into the kitchen. I fumbled while trying to pull a glass down as fast as possible, and accidentally made a...

Girls V.S Weeds

On Tuesday I saw the most interesting thing while I was weedin g the front yard. Needless to say I couldn't resist Blogging about it. As Caterpillar, and I sat pouting about being subjected to the dread chore of weeding, and making a game where we each took turns telling each other how much we despise weeds when our neighbors garage door started opening. After it so rudely interrupted our pity party, I turned around and saw pink Van's walking toward the opening door, I was going to be nice and say,"Hi, Mrs. K." but I stopped for a moment and waited until she came out and then I saw," Oh. Um...That's not Mrs. K, it's her son Nathaniel !" I have no idea why I stopped before I said it, but I'm very glad I did. And that it didn't become one of my many embarrassing moments. After that close call I sat in ants on accident. Yeah, Caterpillar and I had ants in our pants, and up our legs! Then we danced around the yard trying to get them out. ...

This is a question that I have been pondering about for a while. Please give me your opinion on this question. When you tell your family that you don't like somebody, and you have almost completely deluded yourself into thinking that you don't, but you know deep down inside you do like them. Does that count as lying to yourself, and others?
