Yo!

Well I don't really know where to begin... Lots has happened since my last post.

I got my diploma, sorta, I got all my work done and the graduation ceremony is on Thursday, so I get to wear a cap and gown and such, kinda fun, getting to experience what I missed. I finished my last test last Thursday, June 19th, and got the results Monday morning, the 23rd. Turns out I passed with a 90% on my test, way to go me. Since then I went to the DATC and have begun the registration process... I'm going to look at taking Radiology and Automotive Technology.

Back up a day or two now. On Sunday I went to church, way to go me... I mentioned it already but I felt it was important enough to mention again. I have thought honestly about this Mission business... I also read a book that Ali suggested to me, The Alchemist, it talked about following your heart and putting faith in God, it helped me a lot to reach a decision... I am going to do the same and put my faith in God and leave this small world of mine. I've told my parents about this Mission business, my dad figured I would but my mom seems like she's against it. Katie, Angie, and Drea all kinda helped me to get that push to do it, all in their own way..

My family returned from Idaho, not much has changed I guess..

Fredy is just about done with his 1990 Nissan 300zx TT, just the last few adjustments and it's good to go.

I had a chance to talk to Lindsay on Monday.... I guess she and her step-mom got into a full on fight, not just an argument. We asked how each other's lives are and I told her she's never apart of mine anymore, then I went on to tell her all thing things she's missed in just the past week... Finishing school, buying a car, work work work, Fredy and Shaelynn splitting and getting back together, my family leaving and returning, my brother going to jail, starting college and last but not least... Thoughts about going on a Mission. When I had first said that she just kinda kept talking saying that she'll do better to keep in touch and then she was like," woah woah woah hold up go back! You're thinking about doing what???" I told her again with more of firm tone, she then said, "If you go on a Mission, I'll marry you the second you get back!"

We talked some more, she told me she was going to be leaving her friend Whitney and Tyler's house, since her uncle doesn't like the idea of a guy being there, and moving to Lehi, about an hour drive in my 300ZX, she said she's going to be staying there the week and possibly moving there.... with the other possibility as Florida by the end of the summer... She said she doesn't want to leave me here but she can't ask me to just up and leave everything going on here just to move to Florida with her. I told her it's not a big deal, I move a lot and my roots are made to be uprooted, she still said no, especially if I was thinking about going on a Mission... She could just stay and wait at her mom's house in Tallahassee, Florida till I returned.

We talked some more, we talked about her 240SX, and how I'm going to sell it if she doesn't come to work on it and see me. I kept offering all I had to her, but she just kept saying she doesn't want to take everything I'm working so hard for... she doesn't realize that I'm working hard for her and by not accepting anything I do, it hurts more then ended up with nothing. Anyways, she wants to drive the Nissan 240SX, but we need to work on it, which I don't want to do unless she can commit herself to doing it.

We talked some more about us talking some more, about her actually getting back to me when I leave messages and calls... She said she knows she needs to do better about that and that she'll try harder... so far it's pretty much the same... Even with all this freedom she's newly acquired, she doesn't use it to get to me, what does that show? Even when I don't have freedom, I'm breaking my back to do anything that would get me closer to her... Maybe we just don't mean the same to each other..

Anyways I don't think anything else is going on. I am getting the Datsun in two days, hopefully I'll be able to make that my daily driver, fix up the 240SX and make that drivable, and then my parents won't care if I keep it. I want to keep it, but only if Lindsay becomes a part of it, if not, then I'll just sell it to Donnie at work.

Later yo's.

Christopher.



PS, I've come to realize that Ali is an amazing person, we have very great conversations, very challenging and engaging. She's a lot of fun and I hope we're friends for a like time like I've been with Shaelynn. Just felt like I'd throw that in there.
