Yep another post.

Today I was out for a drive and I remembered that the cap to the over flow bottle to me radiator ha gone missing. Which most likely means I lost it. Anyway, I called my Dad to tell him and he said I needed to go get one today. Alright, now I am not car stupid so I knew this wasn't going to take to long. So I headed to car parts store in town. I asked the guy if they had any caps. All he could get me was the whole overflow bottle. I really didn't want to pay 15 bucks for something I really didn't need. So I was off to find a junk yard. The closest one was Rigby. I didn't know where it was so I Texted Brother Boren. He called me and asked what I needed at a junk yard. Well I told him and he got me all hooked up. The place that I needed to go was owned by a guy in his ward. When I got there this kind brother went out and got a cap and all was fixed! Thanks Brother Boren.

I am not a Blogger at heart.

So I am not a blogger at heart. As you all can see it is hard for me to remember to blog. I do enjoy to read other peoples blogs. So I feel like because people share with me that I need to share with them. I will just give a short story or two from the semester.
I live in an old apartment here in Rexburg. I have lived here for 3 years of school. I have grown quite found of it. The problem is that it is falling apart. Well really we just have a couple of nasty problems here. Earlier this semester our managers, who live right below us, started to notice a leak flowing into there apartment. The leak was coming from our bathroom area. Sick I know. Well they called some folks to come look at it. They found that the pipes were struggling. As Frank our owner gave the okay to get that fixed. That meant that we were going to be down one bathroom for two days or so. Once they ripped out our shower they found a surprise. MOLD!! Ya the black kind. Did you know that stuff can kill people. Well this was making the project turn into a crazy mess. The fix it guys called Frank to tell him they would have to rip out the whole bathroom. Frank told them to just cover it. Yes that is what I said. He just wanted to cover it up. Our manager told him that we knew what was going on and bad things would happen if he didn't fix the problem the right way. So after some thought he told them to take care of it the right way. Good thing because I am sure really bad things would happen to him if he wouldn't have. That whole mess took about 10 days to get fixed. So for 10 days all 6 of us had to share one bathroom. Yes the bathroom that has mold growing on the walls. The housing office knows about that now so we will see if something really happens with that. That is just a taste of how this semester in this apartment went.
Alright so I think you all get to deal with just that story. I can't tell all my stories in one day. Remember I am trying to write on this more often.

This is just a picture from the Basic Skills trip I went on this semester. I was a TA.
