The Change Jar

One day sometime last semester I was walking down the stairs in the Ricks building on the Brigham Young University-Idaho campus. I go up and down these stairs almost everyday. (It's the math building.:) That day I walked down the first set of steps and saw a penny on the floor and then saw another at the bottom of the second set of steps! And I thought to myself, "I'm going to start a jar." So I turned around like a weirdo and picked up the pennies.

 And here is it. The Change Jar!

We always see change on the ground outside or in stores or locker rooms or wherever and I never pick any of it up. Who does that? But when I saw those two pennies in a row I decided to pick up every change I see and put it in a jar and use it for something good when there's enough in there. Service money. Today I found a whole QUARTER and a penny in the locker room! :D

TA-DA!

 Tom still has two pennies that he found to put in there too. Looking good!

Once Upon A Time..

The other day I remembered something from when I was younger. I don't know how younger... I must have been in high school. Or younger.

I was sitting on the chill sack thing in our living room all by myself for some reason one night. Everyone was getting ready for bed though. So that's why I think maybe I was in high school because I wasn't getting ready for bed yet. Eli is three years younger than me and he was getting ready for bed. I remember Eli came from his room and or the bathroom because Mom must have been in his room with Stanley. And either Eli didn't see me or he chose to ignore me. But he came out into the living room and turned around in front of the couch and knelt down and prayed. He didn't pray out loud or anything but he was saying his night time prayers.

How precious! My sweet little brother praying out there. He was so cute. :') And he still is. :)
