It's great to be home for the holiday (Thanksgiving). Saturday I drove out to California with my niece and nephew (Alexia and Andrew) and watched "Kung Fu Panda."

Sunday morning was so beautiful I was able to go for a walk. I also got to hear my little brother Daniel report to the High Council and speak in church. Most of my family remembered my birthday and served me cake and ice cream. Dad gave me a copy of his life story that I asked him for and we watched "The Errand of Angels," a new DVD about sister missionaries serving in Germany.

Monday was a fun day. After hours of coercion, Alexia persuaded us to go swimming in the freezing cold pool. My excuse was that I forgot to pack my swimsuit but I found some shorts and a t-shirt and went swimming to appease her. We were all freezing from the start but we played whirl-pool tag and warmed up quickly. I ended up being the last one out! We went to the library and got some books and DVDs. Alexia gave us an FHE lesson on Gossip.

Tuesday...I renewed my Driver license (which expired on my birthday) and I had to take a test I wasn't expecting. Luckily I passed. We've got so much zucchini that I made zucchini bread.

Fallen in love

Well, I've been back from my mission for nearly 6 months and I'm still working on my "normal" social skills while trying to be anything but ordinary. I've come to the conclusion that I've fallen in love with dancing. I say fallen because I can't help it. It's so much fun! I don't even need social skills to dance. I could swing dance all day if that were practical...too bad I've got to eat and sleep some time too. LOL. Okay, I'll admit, I love eating also.

A few things I learned today

Today I learned that the original Hebrew meaning of "fear" as used in the scriptures "to fear God" is: "awe," or to hold God in reverence.

I also learned to Beware of the Jolly Rancher. Happy and friendly as they may sound they can be dangerously sharp! Trust me (I know from experience).

I am addicted to the computer/facebook. It's one of those things I have to check every day and my excuse is...it's my way of keeping connected to the world without going out into the world.

It snowed all day today so I decided against walking to work. It was cold! Let's just say that I'm glad I can steer with my knee so that I can sit on my hands while I drive.

First, an Update and Introduction

My name is Evelyn Job. I grew up in Riverside, California and now I live in Draper Utah where I got a job as a van driver at Draper Rehab and Care Center. I absolutely love it. I'm working with Seniors and they have so much character that is easily overlooked.

Yesterday for instance I asked about a man named Lawrence, who I hadn't seen that day. George said, "He took a trip." I said "Oh, where did he go?" He said "Floor-ida." I thought he meant the state but he was saying that Lawrence took a trip and fell on the floor. LOL It made me Laugh Out Loud.

I am renting a room from the greatest family ever (Akagi) and I live about 1.7 miles from work so I can walk it's great! Draper is beautiful and I love it this time of year when the trees are turning orange and red and they look like they're on fire.

Well, that's all for now I'll try to keep you updated though.
