Yet Another Kind of Random Post

So this is kind of going to be a hodge podge (I don't think I have ever had to spell that before) of a post. so last Sunday was my birthday. I turned 23. I always thought I might be a little depressed about turning 23...but I'm not. I am totally fine with it. In fact, I like it! I remember turning 9 and thinking how I really liked being 8 and didn't want to turn 9. 8 is special, it's when you get baptized, it means something...my sister has a set of Anne of Green Gables books and there were 8. in my eight year old mind this means 8 is special, apparently. I was just resisting the whole 9 thing with every excuse I could think of. It's almost always been this way, but this year, I'm liking being old for some reason. Anyway. That's my birthday thoughts.

Another thought is how nice people are in Provo. my brother and i were fixing my bike and we lost a tiny spring in the asphalt. We were searching for it and 2 of my roommates came home and started helping us look. Then my friend sean came up on his long board and started helping us. Then his 2 roommates came by and started looking, then another guy from my ward saw us and wanted to help. By this time I figured we would never find the spring, so we told everyone they could get back to their business and we went to the bike shop...again. my brother had been a tow truck driver and was all surprised at how nice byu students were because whenever he had dealt with them they were swearing at him. I was like, yeah, of course they are nice, dummy, but I liked that he actually had something good to say about them. 

Then, the other day I was driving my friends car and it just died at a stop light. I thought the battery had died, but I guess it was the alternator. Anyway, in a matter of seconds I had about 5 really good looking guys get out of their cars and start pushing my car. Then one of them turned my key and the engine started again, so I didn't get to talk to them...haha. But it was so cool to see these guys acting like they worked at Les Schuab or something, running around taking care of me and my situation! I'm just very impressed.
I'm excited for Thanksgiving next week! It should be a good post next week!
