I called Anne last night, she told me I had to post a new blog! I'm behind the times I guess. Well Lately my life is just work and home. I took the semester off to decide on my major and figure out how to finish all of the requirements to continue with school. So I put all of my time into my job. It's hard, and challenging. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells with the nurse in charge of my shift... she's definitely an insecure rotten egg... the sad thing is I'm not afraid to stand up to her, but she doesn't really allow me to talk with her about any issues we have with her.. ug.
A few ladies have passed away since I've started, I miss having them around, but they better be happier where they are now then where they were!
Ok, So I've realised I don't really talk about Dan much. I thought I would make a blog describing his likes, and so forth so you guys that live far can get to know him better (considering the fact that I live with him, and will become more like him someday).
Dan works at Paragon Medical, as a machinist. He helps makes medical devices for all of the hospitals in the world. LOL; He likes the outdoors alot; I remember when I first started dating him, his mom asked me if I liked camping. She said "good" when I said yes because Dan's family goes camping every year for thanksgiving. Dan's favorite part about that event is the pie. Everyone in the family makes and brings tons of pies, atleast 3 pies for each person. Dan will eat as much pie as he can get his hands on! Pie for dinner, breakfast, lunch, you name it.
Dan loves cars. He thinks about them, dreams about them, drives them, washes them, talks to them, names them... now i'm even dreaming about them. He takes any chance he can to explain parts in the car and how they work whenever we are together for long car rides or eating a meal. I laugh when he says, "do you hear that sound that car making? what do you think is wrong with it?" What's even weirder is that I'm actually learning enough to answer him. I like learning about it, but I don't like spending all day working on cars. Dan just got rid of his yellow charger and bought a much cheaper Subaru wrx. It's bright blue and he's doing everything he can to up it's performance. So far he's gotten on ebay about every night for the passed 3 months for parts, and has gotten : A new turbo, intercooler, breaks, up pipe, down pipe system, catback exhaust, shocks (two way adjustable coil overs), fuel pump (250cc), fuel injectors (750cc), boost control solenoid, cold air intake and tons of other gadgets to get the car to run faster and better and faster and better. For his birthday this Sept I bought him new wheels, (no kids, I guess we can spend money on hobbies :) he wants to paint little tiny parts of the car pink... that's funny, he painted his break calipers pink... (check it online if you wonder what I mean.. I posted a picture of ones that are blue, picture in your mind HOT PINK.)
Dan also is a major tease, but only when he knows you pretty well. He likes to observe situations before becoming apart of it. He loves joking with his younger brother Joel, and takes pride in the relationship he has with him. He calls his mom "UHH" and she answers to it. (I guess that's mom in Guarani.. a language from his mission to
well...Maybe if you have questions you want to ask, I can post more. I don't really know what you would want to know.
PS. I've got a lot of time on my hands, and I'm wondering if any of you have some advice on hobbies I could do, or projects that are fun. If you have anything that you do that is exciting to you, or things you see on the internet, let me know! thanks!

yeahh!! I am so proud of you!!! I loved your blog! As for hobbies... i know we talked about it but i will put some of it in writing. Books are a good way to pass the time and feel like you are doing something worth while. I loved the fablehaven books and just started the series, The Uglies, this is a pretty good one as well. You neeeeeddd to read the twilight series as well. Another hobby I love is making hair bows and stuff like that. Anyway, it is late and I need to go to bed.
Well, I do have to disagree about the twilight thing... sappy love stories aren't my type. BUT, I have picked up a lil photography thing, I also do crocheting, learning new recipes and trying them, window shopping for things I'd never buy cause they're too crazy lookin, but still fun to think about and see, and I love ebay-ing. It's way fun to see how much people will pay for your crap. Or you could learn to play an instrument, might be fun! Or, take a engine repair class ;P
Almost everything you wrote about Dan sounds EXACTLY like Ryan!! I wish they got to hang out more often...oh well, someday.
IM SO GLAD YOU FINALLY POSTED!!! I really miss you and when you guys post it makes me feel like I get to be with you a tiny bit. Im so sorry the head nurse chick is so depressive but it sounds like you've got her number and she's not liking it! I would love to call you so email me your phone number. davidson.rebecca@gmail.com
Also..hobbies..pictures are great, especially if you have a great camera and can go to a park and just take random shots. People usually don't mind but you have to ask if its okay sometimes with kids and stuff. Anyway..the cool thing about pictures is that if you find that you are really good at it, do it at ward parties and before you know it, people start asking if you do family photography and how much you charge. Its also really fun if you have photoshop and know the cool tricks that it can do with layering and stuff.
Another thing is digital scrapbooking. My friends wife does an online course at digitalscrapbooking.com (Emma Powell) and the things she can do are AMAZING. Go check it out and see what you think. I agree with Laura tho..looking around on Craigslist.com or Ebay is quite entertaining!
Oh! You are an artist..painting is really cool. Its a hobby that I picked up just recently and had no idea I was good at til I did it. Im earning a lot of money doing it too so give it a try. ITs a little spendy getting the brushes and paints set up but soooo fun.
Actually, I can't remember the last time I had free time, but I guess that is cause I have too many hobbies, reading, gardening - you can do it indoors during the winter - I like to crochet and embroider - they take a bit to get started, but after that, it is great! blogging is fun! love you
