Life updates

Well, I first mus apologize for not updating as often as I thouhght I would.

First and foremost, Solomon and I have drifted to a point where we are really more friends than boyfriend and girlfriend. That's fine with me, I don't really care for long distance dating relationships anyway. :)

I have started working at Jimmy Johns Gourmet Sandwich Shop! I love it! It is just so much fun. We are similar to Subway, in that we make deli-style sandwiches, only our sandwiches come standard on our 8" Home Made French Bread (which we bake every half hour or so) or you can have it on our 7 grain Wheat, OR! You can make it an Un-wich! What is an Un-Which you might ask? Well, my friend, we can make any of our 17 sandwiches into an Un-Wich. All we do is take out the bread and wrap the sandwich in large lettuce leaves.

Another thing that makes us different from subway is, we don't have a bunch of cheeses to choose from, and if you want a sandwich with a different meat, say Turkey instead of Ham, we already have a sandwich with just that. So, no, you can't "Have it Your Way" at JJ's but that just makes it easier for us to make the sandwiches. You can add or subtract any of the veggies, mayo, or cheese, just not the meat (Unless you want a #5 - Vito or #9- Italian Night Club without the Capicola/Salami. We can do that.)

I have also started working with my neighbor, Michelle Howard, who owns her own buisness. Her company is called "Wasatch Walls" and we do faux finishes, Vinitian Plaster, and murals. Lately we've mostly been doing faux finishes using plaster, paint, and tinted paint glazes. My favorite so far is doing the metalic wall finishes, using metalic paint and flat dry-wall trowels.

What else... Oh, I am really enjoying my new singles ward. The Northridge Branch is fun, and our BP, President Smith, reminds me a lot of President Anderson from Chaffey Branch before the presidency was reorganized. I've made a few new friends, and the relief society presidency is really nice.

I have also met a guy. Yes, a guy. Matthew Bybee. Really, really, really nice kid. He asked me out my first week in the branch. We saw How to Train Your Dragon, and had dinner at a little italian restraunt off of Hillfield Rd. And funnily enough, I was the first girl he ever went on a date with. Say it with me, "Awwwwwr!" Yes, that made me feel special. :) We've been on a total of 7 dates since then. I planned date #5, we went up to Weber Canyon, had a pic-nic lunch, and made paper boats out of newspaper and sailed them down Weber River. Lots of talking and laughing -- key to a successfull date. I've already met his family, and of course they like me. His mom invited me to come with them tomorrow to see the 4th of July fireworks in Kaysville. No one will be doing fireworks on the 4th here, since it's on a Sunday, so Kaysville is doing theirs tomorrow, and Layton is doing theirs on Monday.

And just to wrap this up, I have been accepted into Utah State University's Art Program!!! I am so excited!!! Right now I have only been admitted as an art major provisionally, though. I have to get my GPA up to a 2.5 in order to say in the art program. The classes that I passed at Mt.Sac, that have been accepted by Utah State University only add up to a 2.12 GPA. Not bad, not bad, but not all that good either. Still, getting my GPA up to a 2.5 is possible, if I get a B or better in my classes, which I will have to do. I still need to take Biology, and Math, and I get to take Art History again (Prehistoric- Gothic), and I can take other art classes, too. So, I'm excited. I get to look at the class lists and find out what classes I can take for this semester.
