The past month was quite a fiasco. It all started on July 23 when I flew out of Long Beach air port, thinking i was ready for the time ahead of me. I had no idea. Boarding the Jet Blue Airliner, I sat in my seat near the back of the plane. After a calm, normal flight next to two kind older ladies, I landed in the Salt Lake City airport. I turned on my tracfone to find a missed call. Hmmm... I wonder who it was. I see the name on the screen as I open the cheap flip phone as my sister, Alyse. She was coming to pick me up so I could help her move out of her apartment and into a new life in North Carolina. I open it up to realize it is saying i had a missed call from her, so i return the call. She had stopped at a little place off the freeway when Tommy, her adoring husband, could not figure out how to restart the car. After getting help from AAA, their car insurance, they were back on track. They pulled up about 5 minutes later.
We got back to their little apartment in Provo, and they showed what they needed me to do to help them clean up for the rest of the day. they would be moving out by Monday, and we could not even think about moving on Sunday. This meant hard work for 36 hours besides sleep, eating and occasional card games. After we retired for the night, Alyse decided that she would teach me her and Tommy's favorite card games, The Bean Game and Killer Bunnies. In the Bean Game you have to imagine being the best possible bean farmer and get money. Killer Bunnies is a game in which you attack other players' bunnies to obtain "the magic carrot". We played these games for an hour or two until we got tired and prepared to retire for the night. I did not go to sleep that easily though, since I slept in their 90 degree living room. The fan was pointing at me, but all it was doing was blowing hot air at me. I had to make do, so I just went to sleep. I woke up the next morning and we moved all day with Tommy's Family. We had in n out and then i went to south jordan for the sunday. The next day was EFY and it turns out that one of my best friends was IN MY GROUUUUPPPP!!!!!!!!!! I had so much fun you have no idea. Then the next week was Volleyball camp and that was fun too. Kevin Sagers, Futti Tavana and Ryan Boyce were my coaches. They were super cool. THen we had a Family reunion and then it was super fun too. Then we worked for Grandpa Myres and then got some good money. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good summer. Thanks mom and alyse for everything and the phone
