You all will be excited about this. No, I did get engaged. I mean, I haven't even been on a date! But. I did just have my first job interview, which I'm excited for. It's the position at the Bookstore on the School supplies level. (I think I'll like this job.) The interviewer, Leonard Something (I didn't catch the last name), was really nice and it wasn't tooth and nails to talk to him. It wasn't the best conversation, but it went well. That is till he asked me if I had questions...And I froze. I couldn't think of a single question to ask. I mean, it is a pretty straight forward job... Oh well, I'll know by Friday.
Oh and if this means anything, I checked online again about the job. The position I interviewed (7:45-10:45am) was gone... That either means I wowed him with my personality, or they have so many people applying for that time, that they had to take it off... Bummer.

True Gibson
For Family Home Evening this past Monday, our "family" combined with others and we played Ultimate Frisbee. I wasn't doing too well: My throwing needs help and they always seemed to think I was either taller than I really was or I run fast, either way they always out threw me. So when I was getting desperate, the frisbee was just out of reach, instinct kicked in and I threw myself towards that plastic disk. When I hit the ground, it wasn't to nice to me, I came away with bruises and scratches. The worst one is on my elbow, and I bruised my right ribs pretty badly. For those of you not showing pity but wondering if I attained my goal of catching the blasted thing. For your information, I did. However, the ground had no mercy and knocked it out of my hand during the landing. So yes I did catch it, but no I was not able to play it.
I continued playing since there was no gushing blood, and helped score the winning touchdown. All in all, my side won, and I even understand that some of the guys on the opposing team were in awe of my fantastic dive. So all in all, it was a very good game. The right is right after it happened and the Left is a week old. It will probably leave a nice scar.

Fourth of July
Long time, I know. So two weekends ago, Jeff and Mel invited me up to The Birds Nest (family cabin up in Idaho) over the 4th of July. It was fun, and the "cabin" had two buildings, a barn, horses, an
d a huge backyard. I was shocked at how big it was, since I grew up with Grandparent's Gibson and Larsen cabins (small to medium where houses are concerned). But, I loved it. We actually drove to Idaho Falls (Yes I thought of the Simpson's) where Grandpa Ray had his birthday (though it's really in December) which included a family reunion. I would like to tell everyone that I was not just a sack of potatoes that sat around being shy and doing nothing. I had very important role actually. My very hard and taxing job was to push the camera button to take the family picture. Phew. It was really hard.
This cute little kid, Jake, had a sucker (in his Left hand) that he was enjoying. Well
as most of you can already assume, he was sticky. Very very Sticky. For some reason, he touched the grass and if you look closely, you can see grass blades sticking to his hand (right hand). He was staking his hand trying to get rid of it which is why his hand is up in the air. Even as I was taking these pictures, he dropped his sucker in the grass, grabbed it, and stuffed it grass and all into his mouth. He was then trying to spit out the grass which was now in his mouth.
After we cleaned up the party (7 pm), we started the family caravan (about 6 cars) headed west and then North to Donnelly (?). Around 2 am after 4 deer and an hour and a half riddle, we finally drove into the driveway of the cabin.
On the fourth, everyone was groggy (some of the kids stayed up the entire drive from Idaho Falls to Donnelly) and slept in. Well I did till about 10am. The entire day was pretty slow, but we did do the annual family Olympics. All the kids were able to participate, and ultimately I too ended up playing soccer. I didn't know my skills were so rusty! We were not able to go see the fireworks since the mosquito population was out to eat us alive. So we were content with watching old family video's in their home theater (!). Mel was SO cute when she was little!
Since the children weren't able to do the annual family parade we were able to do so on Sunday. After church, the kids started making preparations for the floats. This entales hooking up a four wheeler to a trailer and having everyone pile into the back dawned in floatation wear. Here is one of the cute ones, it's a Star Wars float. Jeff is so great. but my favorite is definately Darth Cheese-Grater Vader. There was another husband wearing a grill as a vest.
On Monday, Jeff and I headed home. We had quite and adventure in Boise. We added about 30 minutes to our overall trip just to see the hospital and capital building. What fun!? On the way, between Boise and Salt Lake, we passed a Jelly Belly truck. Jeff laughed when I snapped a picture. I mean, how often do you pass a Jelly Belly truck on the freeway? Now you see my point.

June 30th
Today, I decided to take Becky Creason's advice and went on a walk, to explore Provo (within walking distance of course). So my journey took me down University Ave. (south) East on Center and then north on 3rd E. All in all it was a nice day (a little warm, but not hot). Here are some of the pictures I took. This is the tunnel that is on University Ave. They are building a new high rise which means the sidewalk is unusable, so this is where I walked.
This old sign is on Center St. It says "5 cent cigar".
Interesting. An office building set up all these flags on their lawn (not all of them, I saw some still bundled together and leaning on the building. But it was pretty impressive to see. Everyone is getting
ready for the fourth of July.
ready for the fourth of July. One place that I didn't take a picture of was this printing museum. It closed at 2, so I wasn't able to get inside. But one of these days I will go. It looks interesting.
Next is this house on 3rd E. I just liked it because of the architecture and the plants. The bird bath helped too.
Finally, this is for Jeff, but I guess there are two cherry tree's growing on 3rd E. I was pretty amazed since I have never seen cherry trees, not to mention ones that aren't apart of orchards.

Work...not yet
Thank you to everyone that is answering my question about job searching and applying etiquette. I know I sound down, which I am, but I understand it will take time. Just how much time?
I let two pass by, one was a delivery truck driver. It only would allow for 15 hours at 7.25 pay (which is not bad, it's the time clock that I let it go). The other is a donut cake froster. This one would be perfect. But it is only for 9 hours which is pretty pointless. I might as well give massages for five minutes at two dollars a pop; three for ten minutes. But I don't think they allow side businesses in apartments. Or I could be a consultant for Mary Kay or something. Oy! I'm just getting a little bored being attached to my laptop 20/7 just waiting to see if any new jobs open up.

My new best friend
This is the new addition to my room. I am actually sitting right in front of it right now. It's blissful. Ahhh... Jeff was able to give me a ride to Wally World where I was able to get this box fan for 15 dollars. And I am loving it! Who needs boys when you've got a fan? Just kidding. I mean it would be weird if I tried to get married to a fan... I'd get strange looks.My roommate also appriciates this new friend. She walked in after class and said, "Wow! it's way cooler in here. Thanks for buying a fan Dana." Okay so maybe she didn't say that word for word, but it was close.
