Another Day, Another Dollar, and a broken finger.

So it has been awhile since I have written on here. Not so good for me. Anyways, for those of you who don't know, I have been working at Petsmart for the last month. Now, unfortunately, I am going to have to quit. This makes me extremely sad because this is the first job I have actually liked. I know you're probably thinking that I'm psycho for liking a job in the wonderful retail world but I'm not. I have made some amazing friends from working there. Also, I get PAID to pet and greet, and play with dogs, kitties, goats, rabbits--whatever may come through the door. That is a dream job for me because I LOVE animals. However, I am moving on to bigger and better times in my life so leaving my job makes everything worth it.

Now, onto the broken finger. If you have a weak stomache I suggest avoiding this part. A few weeks ago, my sister and I were horsing around in our backyard. Then I knew that she was going to spray me with the hose. So, to avoid getting cold and wet I tried to run inside. In the process of that, I lost my balance and grabbed the door jamb to catch myself. It wasn't a very good idea. At the exact time I grabbed the door jamb, my sister slammed the sliding glass door shut. As you can probably guess, my hand was in the way of the door. At first I was shocked. I didn't know what happened. Then I looked at my hand, saw the blood and my brain registered the pain. Let's just say that I have NEVER screamed so loud in my life. I started hyperventilating and crying. My mom came running and grabbed me and put my bleeding finger under cold running water. It took at least 2 hours to get my finger to stop bleeding. We thought we would have to go to the emergency room but my mom convinced me that I'd be alright. Instead I got a blessing and then had our family friend who is an EMT come and look at it. The blessing didn't help much except for calming me down. That's alright though. After about two weeks, I decided that I probably should get my finger looked at and the doctor took x-rays and said that it was cracked in 3 places. None of the cracks are on a joint though so that is good. They are located on the tip of my right hand ring finger. It hasn't been a plesant experience but I have been managing. If you must know, I have actually been pretty excited about the fact that I have broken my first bone. It's kinda cool.

On August 21st I will be embarking on a new journey. I will be transferring to BYU Hawaii!! I can hardly wait. Everything is in place and ready to go. I am especially anxious to make it down there. I am nervous but I know I'll love it!
