Move Move ......

So I decided to move out of Provo. I moved New Years Day and I'm finally all settled in. I have a nice 2 bedroom apartment that has nice modern appliances and furnishings and its so nice to come home each night. I'm close to all the shopping necessities (Walmart, Target, Old Navy, Famous Footwear etc), movie theatres, gym, etc... I've had some absent minded nights where I get lost driving home (I know) and then I remember oh yes I moved!!! I'm also excited to now be attending the Tongan Branch (that my bro is on the Branch Presidency) so I'm expecting at least 3 callings. So new place, new ward, new year lets see what happens!!!!

PS I know my blog is not as fun as Leise Ngakuru but I'm trying really I am... Soon Leise will have to get a job and cut back on her leisurely activities!!!

Some pics of my new place!!!

Utah Winter .............

So the snow is here with a vengeance. My biggest fear about the snow is driving in it.

Snow story #1
I've already run off the road and smacked into a big rubbish bin. Then this nice couple stopped to help me and as I got out of my car I closed the locked door (yes locked) so there was my car, engine running, doors locked, hard up against a big rubbish bin. The nice couple drove me home to get my spare key and then drag me out of the ditch. I was still too scared to drive (and the nice couple new it) so the husband drove me to school and his wife followed us.

Snow story #2
I teach at BYU and on the 1st day of school I was running to class in the snow with ladies heeled boots (I know not the most practical but very cute). I ran into the building with a slippery floor hit the first step rolled my foot in my boots and started to fall, I grabbed the rail but my gloves (woollen with cute buttons but yes not practical) didn't grip and I rolley polleyed down a flight of stairs. Here I was lying on the ground, cut my lip, brusing up a storm, and hoping my boots are still in tact. Two nice students helped me up (they soon realized I was heavier then they thought :) and went to class late, with a cut bleeding lip saying "WELCOME TO ELANG 105".

Snow story #3
Today my car was buried in snow so I couldn't move forward or back. I brushed off all the snow then shoveled around the car and still nothing moved. I did this for 15 min sweating and peeling off my snow clothes and finally I was able to just punch the accelerator and book it out of there. When I got into the car I turned on the AC (cos I was hot as) and drove to school passing at least 4 other people in my same predicament.

I'm getting better (less fear) and smarter (wearing appropriate shoes) in the snow, however I STILL HATE THE FREAKING SNOW!!!!!

Time to blog ...

So I've decided to blog and keep some fun memories for posterity sake (whatever huh ...). I've really enjoyed reading my friends blogs (Kjell, Ande, Leise to name a few) and they have given me some courage to start me own. So here goes nothing ..........
