The Beginning of Blogging

So, after much thought & consideration, I have decided to start a blog. My sister Emily has decided to start a blog as well, and, after some encouragement on her part, I decided to join her in the venture. I have always kind of liked to write, so here goes nothing..or something, rather. I hope this goes well!


A little bit about what has been going on in my life…

Yesterday, I went to go get my annual sports physical done at the school, when out of nowhere one of the football coaches asked me to be the team manager. I have mixed emotions about the fact, because I’m not sure about how much time I’ll have, but on the other hand, it always has been something I’ve wanted to do, so I don’t know..And my parents have basically said that it’s up to me, so that doesn’t make my decision that much easier ( I’m known for being horrifically indecisive) I have until tomorrow night to make my official decision, so I guess we’ll see!

Today I believe the high temperature was about 105-107 degrees, very hot and uncomfortable weather that is best for relaxing indoors, or perhaps swimming or enjoying a Sno-cone, if one has the resources. Days like today are the days that one is ever so thankful for the invention of Air Conditioning. So today was a fairly normal day, nothing too eventful, aside from the fact that my mom & I were babysitting two of my nephews, Cody & Kyle (Emily’s boys). My parents had left to go run an errand, and right before they got home, I noticed that my house was gradually getting warmer & warmer. When I went to look at the thermostat, I was alarmed at the fact that the temperature of the house was about 83 degrees (It normally is around 75) I turned the switch down, in hopes of cooling my house, but there was no such luck. That was about the time that my parents got home, and I told them about our predicament. My dad took a look at our unit, and after about 10 minutes of examining & swearing, my dad decided to call a professional. A friend from church is a heat & air guy, so my dad called him up. Turns out he was vacationing in Colorado, & thankfully, we have a neighbor who is also a heat & air guy, as well, so he was summoned over. After a while of looking, he came to the conclusion that the compressor had gone out. I’m not really sure what all that entails, but I know that it isn’t good at all. The guy ever so comically pointed out that when the compressor went out, it more than likely sounded a bit like a jet engine taking off. With any luck, our house will be pleasantly cool by Thursday, so here’s hoping!

Oh yeah, it’s not all bad, both of my sisters ever so graciously are letting my parents and I stay with them! A last little note, I am getting all four of my wisdom teeth removed this Friday, so I’m not entirely looking forward to that, but hopefully it goes better than I’m expecting.

I believe I’ll end it here, I’ve rambled long enough.
