Money is good, work not so much

So, this is a very bright green which I am using to attract your attention. I will now get on with the attention-grabbing....talk. So, my dad has convinced my family to let me move into my Grandparents house, which is vacant because they are living in a "retirement" home type place. Anyway, no one is living there and they need someone to keep up the house (as it is quite large and very nice-although not huge but I like it). That someone is now me . This means that I will sadly be moving farther away into the tree streets. However, I have been asked to try and find another person or two who would like to move in with me so as to not seem that I am milking the fam for a cheap place to live and also to keep me company. I hate to make this sound like some sort of add because there should not be any pressure-it is just fine if you all say no because I like you all too much. Rent would be like $150-$200 and it is like right across the street from BYU (by the creamery on 9th) and also across the street from that elementary school and big park that starts with a K. It is close to many students so that is very nice. Anyway, there is the offer-take it or leave it. Either way, I am really going to try harder to see you guys more often because I love hanging out with you guys as you are my amazing friends. So count on that for sure.
I hope all of your lives are going well and that you are excited to start school. Which reminds me, Becca - when are you leaving? I must see you before you go. We should even have a big get to gether or something...although it seems to me that you all have been getting together a lot lately without letting me in on it so maybe you are against it.

Howie Day's autograph is quite amazing on my envelope

Howie Day is amazing I must say and the concert last night was just about the best one I have been too. It was really fun and he is so awesome and Deb and I got to meet him because we bought shirts and he signed my envelope and said a few words and he is funny...anyway, there are just no words to describe it or make it sound how it really was, so just know that it was amazing and I love it (and him). This blog is going to be short because all I have to say is that today at work Josh (who works at Stan's but not today and I have only worked with him once...he is quite the slacker and really weird, but still pretty cool) came into today at around 9 30 or 10 (probably closer to 10) and Leidy (that's right, like "Lady"-she is 17 and going to be a senior, but she is really cool) and I were talking to him and I went in the back to do something and when I walked back up to the counter I took a drink of water and when I sat the cup down Leidy and Josh were looking at me really weird(ly?) and I was like "what?" and they just stared and Leidy finally said "that's his water" and Josh said "yeah, I'm confused. That is my water". I was like "what? Are you serious???" and they both said yes. I honestly didn't think anything when I took a drink, I just took one because I had been doing so out of a green mug for quite a while - which is even more weird that I did it because Josh had water in a paper cup with a lid on it. Anyway, I was quite embarrassed and we laughed about it and I felt kind of bad and I told him he could get a new straw, but I think that he did not, which is just fine with me. But anyway, that is my odd story for the day and I have had way too much ice cream (somehow we wound up with a mint shake, a messed up butter pecan cone, and a fish burger...which for some reason was forced upon me and I am sad to say that I ate most of it (except part of the burger that was soggy and half of the mint shake which was melted)) . You all are cool and I am afraid I will not be able to see you very often because I have work like every day this week and mostly at night and on top of that I am exhausted every day because of work and school so when I get home I just go to bed...which is just sad. But I do miss you guys and I am sorry that I am too busy/tired to do stuff. I will work on it. (and I am sorry for the longness and also for all of the parentheses)
