May 9th-The house burnt down.
May 10-I didn't have a car to get me to Farmington and the parents thought it would be best for me to wait a while to come up to see the house. So I went and bought a car. I had gone down to Auto Max and traded in my car, (it wouldn't even shift out 2nd) that was basically done. They tried their hardest to get me into a car. They had me test drive many cars, worked with what I could pay a month. They even got me a loan with a big bank. Well I ended up just giving them $5000 cash and walked out of there with a Greenish,Grey color and a Stick shift.
2006 PT Cruiser.
May 11- Was Mother's Day. It is always a hard day for me. But I got through it.
May 13- I drove up to Farmington to see, and go through the house with my parents. The first time driving down the hill seeing the house was a little hard. It made it all real for me. I got a little teary eyed but pulled it together. Dad and I walked in the house. That smell, Ill never forget that smell. So strong. We then left to go do other things.
May 14- Chris the insurance guy came to look at the house and do the insurance stuff. Mom, dad and I ran around town and got errands done. Chris, Amanda and Brett came over for dinner to talk about everything. It was fun to get to know Chris a little better.
May 15-We got to go through boxes (I pulled everything down form the attic) I got to save a bunch of Aimee's (my American Girl doll) stuff. My baby Pictures were saved and I am so Grateful for that. Being in the house, and cleaning it out and looking through all my old stuff and getting closer.
May 16-We had 6 Missionaries, Brett and Amanda, mom and dad, me, and the Harris's, and Barney's stopped by to help us clean the rest of the stuff out of the house and into the big dumpster that we have gotten.
May 22- The last day of school. YAY!!!! A Week of no School!
May 23- Amy and I went to the top of the Sandia Mountains and watched the Sunrise. I went to Madrid with Matt and Eliska to eat and just go for a drive. It was Eliska's Birthday. Then that night I went to Red Robin for Amy's Birthday dinner. We then we went to the institute for a May birthday Party. We had 4 types of deserts and just sat and talked.
May 27- Jaden's Birthday!!! YAY!!!!! He is now 5!!!!! I cant believe it! He is 5 years old. So to Celebrate we drove up to Pogosa Springs and went to the Hot Tubs! 18 Hot tubs from 99*-113*! The smell was bad but man it felt good. Then we drove to Durango and went to the Bar-D. Man I am going to miss that place.
June 3- Back to school for 5 weeks, 4 hours a day, 3 Days a week. ESY is going to be fun.
A bunch of personal stuff has happened as well but for the most part that I am not going to share. But Through all this craziness I have tried to keep my head up and be strong. My parents are really doing good and they have put all of their faith in the Lord. There was always a special spirit in the home where I grew up. But that spirit in the house is gone. My parents rental now has that spirit. Its been a hard and difficult road but we are getting through it. We have everything we need and we are grateful that Brett wasnt hurt. Everything has worked out! So grateful fopr everyone that has done for my parents.
Congrats on your new car!
