So this weekend I was helping move some furniture at my parents house and while I was out in our garage I found two boxes of my books. It was really nice because I found two books that I had thought that I had lost. I had looked all over for one of them because Alli wanted to borrow it and I knew I owned it but I didn't know where I had put it. I had totally forgot that I had put some books out in the garage. Mostly they were school books and church books but there was some novels as well. I was so happy I found my books! :D

Dragons... (just for you Karen :P)
On Monday I had a bad day at work so I went to walmart because walmart always seems to have something that makes me happy. As I was there I was walking around and saw this new animated movie. Now I am addicted to movies and animated are the worst. Also I love dragons and everything to do with them. I own so many dragon books and and Karen is always making fun of me for it. But this movie was called Dragon Hunters so i just had to get it. Now Karen really made fun of me and just called me a nerd but what can I say I am addicted to all things dragon. I watched this movie and it was not the greatest but I still liked it.
I really may have a problem because right now I am reading a novel about dragons in an Asian like society. I also have a whole series on dragons that I have yet to start but I bought just because it was about dragon. I have more dragon books than any other type of books in my library. I don't know what it is about dragons that is appealing to me. I know that they are not real but I have always dreamed of having a pet dragon that could fly me around everywhere. I also don't usually like it when they make dragons a just a mindless beast or when dragons are all bad. I like to think of them as intelligent and having the ability to chose between good and evil.
I know I am a nerd, and yes Karen I am expecting you to tell me as much. maybe someday I'll grow out of my fascination with dragon but as for right now I am a dragon nerd but it makes me happy.

Group Projects
For my Junior Design class we are doing a group project in effort to teach us how to work in a group on a design project. We are designing a cabin which I was excited about but I am learning that sometimes people get ideas in there head and just don't listen to others. Now I am sure that I do this too but it has been way frustrating so now I am just sticking to my assigned area and will just let the others worry about their areas. I was trying to help give advice since we just built a cabin but they just didn't really listen to me so I'll just keep my comments to myself until they ask or they are just doing something that I know wont work.
I am in charge of the site work and soils. It is not to hard I just got a survey area up on Kolob close to where my families cabin is located. It is an area that interstate is building a subdivision at so it was all surveyed out. I am now trying to find soil properties so I can figure out what we would have to do if we really were going to actually build there. I know a lot from when we built our cabin so that is good. Once they get the structure designed I am going to have to try and figure out how best to place it on the lot that we have chosen and then figure out the run-off water plan and how to handle it around the cabin. I already kind of know how I am going to to do that but the small detials are what I have to wait on until I get the building design. So I have come to realize that sometimes when working in a group that you will have to just wait for others to get something done first before you can do what you need to do.
We also have to create a 15 minute power point presentation every two weeks and so show what are group is getting done. I am suppose to show what I have done but I haven't done anything really because I have been waiting for others to get there work done so I really don't know what to do for my part of the presentation. I will probably just make something up and just BS my way through it for this week and next time actually put the real data in.
