Good bye Jasper :(

I am so sad right now. I have a puppy named Jasper. With me moving I, unfortunately, can't take him with me. The city of Orem, UT only allows 2 dogs per household. My aunt and uncle already have 2 dogs, so I can't bring Jasper. If I didn't believe that this was such a good move for me, spiritually and temporally, I would not be going for this reason. It hurts so much to have to get rid of him. I only got 6 months to know this puppy, and yet, he has been such a joy to me. I got frustrated, irritated, mad, etc. at him, multiple times, but he's a puppy and would do puppy things. But his personality is so funny, so loving, so loyal. He is my guy, my friend. He sleeps with me and keeps me company when I'm alone. I'm heartbroken that I have to do this. He is such a happy puppy. I don't want to do this, and yet, I know that this is a good move for me. I know that it is a small, inconsequential thing, but I could use your prayers right now. Not just for me, but for my puppy. I think I may have found him a good home. It's an older, retired gentleman, who is used to Cocker Spaniels (Jasper's breed). He will have the time to give him the time, love, and attention that I couldn't really give him. I think that that is part of my problem, I didn't give him to much time. Mine was tied up in school and homework. Even though...I have loved the time that I have had with Jasper. Well, just keep us in your prayers. I love you all!

New Happenings!

So I guess it's been a bit since last I wrote. Not much has happened, and yet a lot of major decisions have been made. I go to school most everyday and have homework coming outta my ears. It's insane. I have 1 week left, then finals week. I have projects, papers, and homework. All stuff that will make me a much happier person to have finished. I have 1 major project all done and turned in, now I have 3 more to go...whipee!!! I'll be so happy when this term is over. It's kicking my butt. Spring term has always been rough for me. I'm all learned out and need a break.

I'm getting that in the form of I'm moving to Utah on the 13th of June. My aunt and uncle, Bobby and Peggy Muench, just recently adopted 3 siblings. As both of them work, and a baby sitter all day would be crippling financially, I was asked if I would like to be a nanny, of sorts, for them. It comes with free room and board, and they'll feed me! Plus I get to know my new cousins. It's a very exciting time for me. I'm really sad that I'm leaving Oregon. This is my home. It's where my family is, where my friends are. It's killiing me to be leaving them. I don't get to see them as often as I would like, as often as I'm used to, but I had the option of seeing them once in a while. Now, the distance will be too far for me to get out to see them. I don't believe that I will be able to see them until Christmas time. We'll be having Christmas at Lisa's house. However, I do believe that this move will be good for me. I'll be able to grow more as a person. i'm making a decision to do something that is really hard for me to do. I don't want to do it, but I know that this is the right thing for me to do. I'm hoping that I'll be able to meet others my age that'll help me to grow more in the Church, who'll listen to me and help me to understand the things that confuse me, that I don't fully understand. I've been working so hard on improving myself, and there is so much that I don't know, don't understand. I've been working on being able to go to the temple again. I'm so close, I think that all I need is the interview =D

Mom and Laura get here the 7th of June. I'm so excited about that. They'll be helping me pack and move everything. Holly and Gabriel are moving as well. They'll be going to Texas with mom and dad. I think that that is the toughtest part of this move for me. I'm going to be separated from my nephews. It already kills me to only see Elias once in a while. I see Gabe every single day. This will be the part that makes it the most difficult. I don't like that I can't see my nephews everyday, or as often as I would like. They are 2 of the most important people in my life. I love them like crazy. I'll be able to talk to them on the internet though. Webcams are amazing inventions. I recommend that everyone goes out and buys one, then we can all talk on the internet and not feel so far apart.

In other news, I had to sell my car. The transmission was starting to fail on me. It would go into reverse but it wouldn't stick. When I pressed on the gas, it sounded like it was in neutral. I ended up selling it for $400. I wish that I could have gotten more out of it, just for the sentimental reasons. That car was my grandma's, and it was given to me after she passed away. I have a few things of hers left, and that was something that always reminded me of my grandma. I know that it was just a car, and that they are somewhat easily replaced, but it was a special car. It's sad to know that she's gonna be taken apart and sold for her parts.

But isn't this a part of growing up. Doing things that are difficult? Moving, selling something important, going to school. These experiences have changed me for the better. I am finally moving in the right direction. I finally have my head screwed on right again. I know who I am and why I am here. I don't know everything, but what I do know, I know to be right and true. I have many more difficult moves to make in my life, but I think that these experiences have made it possible for me to now face them head on, to face them courageously. I know that I have a Father in Heaven who will help me to get through them. Just yesterday, my teacher told me life isn't fair, it isn't easy. It isn't, but I know that not only do I have everyone I know rooting for me, praying for me, helping me to improve my life, I also have a Heavenly Father doing the exact same thing. I am truly blessed to have the things in my life that I do. Life is only going to get better from here!!

Today bites

So, I'm getting ready to go to school, and I realize that my wallet is not where it's supposed to be. Nor, is it anywhere else it shouldn't be. I think I may have left it on the bus, but I called lost and found, and of course it's not there. I'm hoping that it gets turned in, if I left it on the bus, and not messed with. I'm hoping that there are still some honest people up here.

Spring Break!

So, winter term is over!! I got 3 A's and a B. I'm pretty stoked about it. Now we have a full week off before spring term starts. So exciting. Next term is going to be a lot easier. Only 3 classes instead of 4. I'm going to be trying to find a job. I'm going to need one for the summer since I'm not going to be taking classes, plus rent and all them other nasty bills are going to need to be paid...yucky. Also, my car has decided to not work right. My transmission is trying to go out. Right now, it's still working (sort of). My reverse no longer works. It'll go into reverse, but if I press the gas to get it going, it sounds like it's in neutral. It makes finding a parking spot extra fun. It's gotta be in a place that I can pull forward lol. It's going to be an interesting next couple of months.
Well, I gotta go,
Love you all
*Peggie*

AHH!

OK. So I think I may go insane sometime between now and August 1st. Just so you know.

Set the Date!

On August 1st, or there abouts, KendraCay Kiger and Matthew Tabbert are getting married. We're all very excited. When I know some more details, I'll post them. We love you all and we're all very happy for Kendra and Matt. I know it's not a great picture, but it's the only one I have of both of them together =D

Japerudy!!

We got ourselves a new puppy. He's 8 weeks old, a blond cocker spaniel, named Jasperudy. He is so cute, soft, adorable, and cuddly. We named him Jasperudy. His parent's owners named him Rudolph, Rudy for short, because he was number 9 of 9, and they were all born at Christmas time, so they were all named after the reindeer =D We liked it, but it wasn't a favorite. We wanted Jasper, so we combined the two and now he's Jasperudy! He's so cute. He's technically Kendra's but we all help take care of him. He's still just a baby, so he's into everything, and he likes to chew on things, especially stuff he shouldn't be playing with lol. Can't wait to see how he turns out =D
