so when i firs got home i spent two weeks in wichita with my sister and her son and her husband. it was a great time and i really enjoyed it. a week after i had been home, i went to graduation at the high school, and then i went to mission prep class because 20 year old girls are allowed to go. usually it's just the guys, but this time the laurels were invited, and so i went, and i was one of the oldest people there. the laurels were people that i was a youth leader to at camp and i remember them at camp and youth conference, and it's just hard to imagine them as the laurels. i guess that i'll take what i can get now days. so anyway, there was this guy there who i had never seen before, but i guess he was an rm who went on his mission to ogden utah. i didn't even know his name, and i didn't talk to him at all while i was there.
i got home that night and i was hanging out with my family. i got a phone call and it was from this guy. i don't even know how he found out who i was. it was very odd in my opinion. he asked me if i would like to go out on a date. i said that i needed time to figure out my schedule, because i was looking for work at the time, and so he said that he would call back that wednesday around five. i knew when i hung up from the call that i would have to leave my house before wednesday at five so that i wouldn't have to talk to him.
so wednesday rolled around and it's around 3:50 and i'm getting ready to take my little brother into town, and then i get a phone call. it's him. i still don't know his name, i don't know where he is from, and it's really scary. so we talked. i told him that i wasn't going to date him because i didn't know him. so he decided that it was get to know you time. he knew that i was a byu student and so he told me about his mission. what he told me was that he met a girl on his mission out there, and after he got home he went back out there and got engaged to her. they were engaged for a week maybe, and then she called it off, and two weeks later she was engaged to someone else. i don't know why he shared that with me but oh well. it was then that my mom shouted loud that it was time to go, so i left.
i went on my mini mission, and i was in story city. as i was going there the thought came to my mind how funny it would be if he were there. i laughed to myself and kept going. yeah, i saw him at the open house on saturday. suck! the sisters were there though and they protected me and elizabeth from him.
after church on sunday they told us the real story. the girl that he had "met out in utah" was actually a missionary out here. she served here and was attention deprived and so he gave her the attention that she wanted. his family encouraged him in his endeavors, which is wrong. his father even gave him a blessing saying that he would marry this girl. she was a missionary, which is so wrong. when she went home he waited for a few months then went out there. she agreed to the engagement, but then she came around to her senses. i then told them about the mission prep class incident. i was laughing kind of hard about all of it because he didn't talk to me at all while i was there. at first i kind of felt bad, but now i'm okay with it.
so that is the story of the creepy stalker man. i'm pretty shocked myself. here i was thinking that i was going to go on a boy fast but i found myself bombarded with all the weirdos out there. don't worry caleb, i survived this stalker, i'm sure that i can survive all the others that will probably come.
well, i gotta teach tomorrow, so peace out, and i miss you guys. i love you all and miss our parties. i've seen five movies since i've been home: prince caspian, indiana jones, kung fu panda, the incredible hulk, and get smart. they were all pretty good. get smart was like watching the screenplay for michael scott's movie, only it wasn't catherine zeta jones, it was anne hathaway. it's a good one. you should check it out.

the mini mission of awesome and the creepy stalker guy!
so i was reading the post from last night, and i realized that i spelled allisons wrong. i guess my mind was worn out. so here goes for tonight. yeah, i posted last night at 3:45 a.m. that was great fun.
the mini mission was pretty cool. i showed up on friday and i went to story city. it's an hour away from where i live. the sister missionaries were pretty cool. i met with them and elizabeth about half way through friday. it was kind of boring because it was there planning day, but that was okay because i was really tired. so elizabeth and i talked. it was the first time that we've seen each other since we left byu. we caught up on all the business of non college iowa life and so forth. things look like they are going well for her.
so that first night there the coolest experience of the day was being able to hold a baby racoon. this family rescued a baby racoon from the floods and are raising it. she's pretty awesome and her name is velvet. i got to hold her for a while and then she started to climb all over. so she ended up sitting on my back and sucking on my thumbs and fingers for some of the night. it was cool. that's where those pictures on facebook come from.
saturday was a pretty busy day. i really enjoyed it though. there was a parade in story city and we handed out flyers before the parade. the church was having an open house for 72 hour kits and family history. i managed to hand out a few flyers and that made me pretty happy. after the parade it was the open house. i played piano for that. it was the first time that i've played piano since i came home from utah. i thought it was pretty fun. it was around this time that my bandaid fell off and my chunky knuckle was exposed, so jackson got me a new one. i then started annoying her by showing her my knuckle and shouting out chunky knuckle. it was pretty swank.
we went tracting that night for around 20 minutes. during that time one sister and i placed a book of mormon. it was pretty cool. she seemed really interested. then the sister gave me the option of knocking on a door, and i decided to give it a try. it went very well. i talked with this lady about joseph smith, and gave her a finding faith in christ card. she was really interested, but because of the parade, she had family in town and was hanging with them. she and her family have been out to utah a lot and enjoy the salt lake area. so she took down our information and gave us hers and then we decided we should leave because there were tornadoes out and about.
two other really exciting parts of the day were when the sister took us to the antique carousel. i rode on the carousel, even with my skirt on. it was swankin'. the sister's also took us to this awesome place we call slide mountain. there were three huge slides there and we played on them for a while and then we moved to the playground right next to it.
all in all, it was a pretty good mini mission. on sunday when we went to church, the leaders came into the classrooms during the third hour to announce that the main roads into town were closed, and that we would have to find a different way home. when we got out of church they had closed off most of the downtown area and were starting to close residential areas. they had taken the motor out of the carousel, and the football field and everything was pretty much under water. i used to come to story city to practice for marching band competitions, and to see the football field under water was odd. it wasn't an inch of water, it was probably aroun four to ten feet of water. it was high. but no worries, i'll write about the flooding probably tomorrow, and i think that i'll have to write about creepy stalker guy another time. my mom is sick and i have to teach her class on sunday. i gotta look at the lesson.
see yah later.

chunky knuckles the og(original) and volume 2: the reckoning!
so about two weeks ago i started to work the night shift at the factory across from where i live. i had just gotten off work, and the next day i was going to go on a mini mission. i was ready to go to bed so i was rushing everything. i went into the bathroom and started turning on the lights so that i could take a shower. underneath one of the light switches is a box full of a myriad of different things. i flipped on the switch and as i did, i felt i huge pain on the knuckle of my ring finger, right hand. i look down and blood is pouring from my finger. i looked for what could have done that and in the box was a razor. i looked at the razor, and i could see the chunk of skin that was supposed to be connected to my hand. suck! it was so gross i had to wake up my mother and show her what happened. EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! so it didn't stop bleeding until two days later. i took my bandaid off during the mini mission and showed jackson the chunky knuckle of doom. i couldn't stop shouting out chunky knuckles. it was really funny. i will have to write about the mini mission tomorrow.
so tonight for the reckoning. i was at work and i was running this thing called the turret, which cuts different designs into metal. i was working and i chopped open my knuckle on my right hand pinky. blood gushed from it, but i didn't have a bandaid, and i couldn't go and find one. so i just wiped it on these really gross gloves that i have to wear. it was one of the sickest experiences of the night. i think that i got hepititus from it. (just kidding, i don't think i did, but these gloves are disgusting).
and now for the !. also while i was working tonight, i was lifting sheets of metal. it looks like i met wolverine from xmen and he decided to cut up my left arm/hand. yeah. today was long i guess is the good word for it.
i'll write more tomorrow. but for now, peace out kids! shout out to the chatfields and the flanagans and the allisions!!
