Good-bye Arizona, Hello Utah! And a few car problems along the way!

Soo!!! We're here! We made it to Utah!! Finally!

It was a really long trip and a frustrating one too! My car broke down right outside of Beaver! We were sooo close to making it all the way! So, we tried jumping the car, but it didn't hold a charge for very long, so we ditched the car and went the rest of the way to Pleasant Grove. It didn't help that I was already all wired-up and jittery from a 5-Hour Energy (Which tastes like battery acid....if battery acid tasted like anything) My parents are trying to figure out what needs to happen this morning, but I think it will end up at a mechanic.

Quinton and I did a really good job at driving, I think! Quinton almost had to beat up this guy that approached our car while we stopped at a gas station, but he just needed to use my cell phone to call his daughter. But it was a pretty good day, all in all. I can't believe Quintonio and I drove for about 14 hours and I only took a ten minute nap on that drive!

I already miss everyone down in Az... I wish I could've taken you all with me :(

Hello New World Out There That Will Soon Be Mine to Claim!

Hey! So, if you haven't already figured out, we're moving! I thought it would be kinda interesting and maybe a little tummy-tickling to write about my new experiences in good old Utah. 

Just to clear a few things up, yes I'm LDS (Latter-Day Saint...or Mormon, but that's kinda slang. So to you, I'm LDS) but that is NOT the reason my family is choosing to move. Ever since we moved to nice-n-toasty AZ (roughly about 7 years ago), we've wanted to move back to our family. And now seems to be the opportune moment! I'll be a Junior next year and much to my dismay, I will not graduate a Jaguar with the rest of the people I've known for 6 years....huge bummer. But! There is a silver lining to this big puffy cloud! A lot of my family now lives in AZ... well just my two sisters, brother, sister-in-law, father and all of his family. So I will have reasons to come and visit. Rest assured I will keep haunting people who probably are looking forward to me being gone! :) So, feel free to follow along on my journeys!!

P.s. We don't move till the end of June....which is in about 10 days :D
