an adventure

Yesterday was an adventure. Here it is! It started out with my waking up at 8 after going to bed at 2:30 (yes, I'm still blaming you Sam). That was probably the least fun part. I like sleep. Maybe. I found out that my sister and brother-in-law along with their sonwere going up to Salt Lake to do some running around, and they asked if I wanted to go with them. Of course I said yes. This is Tweety, Taz and Bug (I love making up random nicknames for relitives, so fun!). They live down in Anabella (near Richfield, UT). He actually drives a long haul truck for a living. Anyway, I don't get to see them much, so I went. Wait! Before we left, we went over to Rosanne's. They had an old table saw they wanted to get rid of, and Taz just happend to need a new table saw. I love it when things work out like that (especially since Taz had a trailer hooked up to their jeep and drove it home that night). Walking home, here's Bug and the Cute One having fun. They love playing together!

This is Taz. and Bug is giving the Cute one a piggy back ride. So cute!

Anyway, we went up to Salt Lake. We passed by the new temple they're building off Bangater Highway. It makes me happy. First errand we did was to go to some car place to buy a part for their jeep. The window doesn't go up and down anymore (or something like that). Driving up, we saw this group of salesmen in a huddle talking, and Taz said to Tweety "Quick! Go inside before the vultures get to you!" Yeah, car salesmen get a bad name. Maybe they really are that bad, I've never bought a car!

After that, we decided that some of us didn't have breakfast, so we should get something to eat. We went past an IHOP, but the wait was 10-15 minutes, so we decided to put our name on the list and go to Circut City while we waited. Taz and Tweety were buying a laptop for their daugther's graduation present. I mainly stopped Bug from destroying the store. Oh, I also bought a CD.

I love it!

After we finished shopping there, we went back across the parking lot and dropped off our stuff. Then we ate lunch at IHOP. Yummy! I havn't eaten there in a while. I didn't get anything breakfasty (maybe I should have), but it was good. And Bug got an animal balloon:

It's a horse!

After that, we went down to Ikea. This was really excited. I'd never been, but I heard it was fun to walk around at look. It was fun! I really wish I had money and a house/apartment to put stuff in. Oh well. They did have this cool station that Bug played at while I watched him (Taz and Tweety went off to look for something or another and got lost).

After Ikea, we rushed back to Orem, because I had a work meeting at 2 pm. I was late. Whoops! I really tried! After my meeting I actually had to get stuff done, like cleaning my room before my dad left and laundry. I forgot to switch my clothes from the washer to the dryer, so I had to go to work with a wet shirt. Oh well. It dried soon enough.
