A study was done that antibacterial soap is not anymore special than normal soap. If you scrub enough with normal soap, you will be fine. So if you are worrying about your soap, don't. You will be fine if you wash for at least 20 seconds.
Another thing about antibacterial soap is that it gets rid of all the bacteria. Some bacteria, we need. Believe it or not, bacteria is not always bad for you. Good bacteria is called, Normal Flora. They help your immune system so you can fight of bad diseases. If you use an antibacterial soap or hand sanitizer, you are getting rid of not only pathogens, but normal flora. Now, normal flora is not only found on the skin, but it is found in the intestines to aid in the normal functions of the digestive system. Bacteria is important!
I am not saying that being clean is bad. I love being clean. I wash my hair everyday, I brush my teeth after every single meal, I am a clean person. BUT don't go so clean that you rid your body of it's normal flora. A good thing to remember is balance.

Traveling
I really want to go on a trip this summer. Last summer we went to Seattle. It was so much fun. My favorite times were with my mom and brother in the car on the way to Baker City or in the hotel, people watching from above. I also liked going on the pier and eating ice cream and shopping. The alki beach was fun as well.
We also went to Las Vegas this summer and it was enjoyable. My grandpa lives in Mesquite and we went there to visit. We went to the rainforest cafe in the MGM hotel. We saw lions from the ceiling. Their paws were so cute. It was so cool. Then we went to the M&M world and Coke factory. We had a lot of fun shopping there.
We went to Denver last month and it was alright. The drive was really scenic. My cousin had a MET competition and she didn't win, but we were still proud. The funnest thing about the Denver trip was being able to walk to the candy store with mom and andy. The weather was so nice and perfect. We also went to a really good pizza place and had a melt down about how we wanted to go home because of the stress of the dogs. We almost got kicked out of the hotel because the dogs were barking all night. We tried to take them to a doggie hotel, but their shots weren't updated.
Since gas is so high, my mom doesn't think we will be able to go on a trip this year. But I don't think so. I think that we will be able to go somewhere close like the Grand Canyon or the Oregon Coast.
There is a Switchfoot concert in Denver, my mom really, really wants to go, but is worried about the gas situation. I just hope that the gas goes down so that we can go. She is also stressed about Andy and the dogs. I hope that we can go soon.
If you want to know about some really awesome songs, check out Switchfoot. They are one of the greatest bands known to man. My favorite song at the moment is Yesterdays. It talks about funerals and death.
So if you read this blog I would really like to know what your favorite state is and what your best experience was in that state. My favorite state is Virginia, because I was born there. Coming in 2nd would have to be New York because my parents are from there. :)

The iPods at school
We got these new ipod touches at school in November. November 5th to be exact. And I guess they are really cool but there are a lot of problems. Like;
-They do not hold a charge. We use them all the time and they run out of power fast.
-The halls at school are so horrible. People are always looking down now and bumping into others. It gets really annoying.
-I think there is going to be a drop in test scores because instead of listening in class, people are playing the word game with each other.
There are good things about them though. They have an awesome calculator, they are good for researching at the tip of your fingers, and the word games are pretty fun.

A big long post
One thing about being a teacher is being able to discuss things that you want to talk about or find interesting. I want to start out being a 5th or 6th grade teacher, but I would eventually want to become a high school math or anatomy and physiology teacher. I think that it would be fun to explain and teach all day about science, math and the human body. I guess that makes me a nerd. But I don't care. I am proud of being smart.
The reason I chose to go into education was because I wanted to do everything. It seems like when you are a teacher, you can teach everything to your class. I also wanted to make an impact on people's lives in a positive way. It will also allow me to have benefits with a substantial paycheck to live comfortably. Last of all, the vacation is amazing.
On Saturday I went to the vet clinic and this little chihuahua came in with a broken leg. It was coming in for a re-check. So we did a radiograph on it's paw and it looked worse. We did the radiograph through the cast. It was horrible. This dog's arm was totally decayed when we took the cast off. It was black and just disgusting and sad. I guess the broken bone blocked the blood supply to the rest of the arm, so It had to have it's arm amputated. I felt so bad for this dog. His name was Rudy and he was crying. It was such a hectic day and the doctors were so rude. I watched the amputation. It was so fascinating.
Then on Sunday I was asked to help with the primary class and it was so fulfilling. The little 5 and 6 year olds are so cute, but they are at the age where they don't like to sit and listen. They are smart, but they are a handful. This is why I want to teach older grades. I don't think I would be able to handle little little kids. 4-6 grade is a good age. I am going to be doing service learning at the elementary school by my house. I will be helping kids read and do math. This is going to give me a look into the world of teaching.
I just want to say that I love my family and I especially love my parents. They are everything to me. They have always been encouraging and good people. I get emotional when I talk about them. When my dad died, it changed my life forever. I will always miss him more than anything. We had a special bond. We still have a special bond, nothing will ever take it away. I still feel my dad at times when I need him. I talk to him when I need to and even though he cannot talk back to me, I know that he wants to hear from me. There are a lot of special events coming up like graduation and college orientation. I know that he will be there when I walk across the stage.
One quick story I wanted to say about my dad was that one time we were just sitting and my dad went to the store earlier in the week. He said that he had seen this device that takes away fur from couches and he described it "as having wheels and a little compartment for the fur." So we looked and looked for it at different walmarts but we could not find it anywhere. Finally, he just summed it up that he had dreamt it up and he wished it was real. Well the following month, my dad and I were at walmart and we found it! We couldn't believe it. He said "I knew it was real! I can't wait to tell your mother!" It was so funny and It will always be a moment that I will remember.
That is why I love my parents. We are so close. We do everything together. We have had tons of moments of fun. We understand each other. We know each other like the back of our hands.

Work
The doctor is so rude. He slams doors in my face and he is arrogant. Ugh.
The other day, a dog came in with a ripped off toe nail and there was blood everywhere! We put him in the exam room and gave him pain medication and after he was put in the surgery room, the exam room was covered in blood. It was very gross. You know what really got to me though? I was helping with the surgery and no one else was mopping up the blood. There were people just standing around. I get so annoyed when people just stand there and do nothing. I am just a pee on in this place.
I don't want to have a job where I get messy all the time. I think I would make a great teacher. Other people have told me that too. I want to teach elementary school.
Anyways I will talk more tomorrow or the next day.
I am going to go baptize for the dead tomorrow at the Jordan River Temple and I am very excited.
-Peace.

I love you daddy
One time I was at a Cobra Starship concert with my family. My dad said that I should go and have fun in the mosh pit, so I went in with my friend. I had a really bad anxiety attack and started to cry. My dad took my hands and started to dance with me and made me feel better. After having fun and dancing and singing along to the music with my mom and dad, I had another anxiety attack and we had to leave the concert early. As we got into the car, my dad went in the back seat with me and had me lay on his lap. He also got me a sprite and comforted me. I love this story because it makes me feel happy and it shows what a wonderful father my dad is.
One day, I got asked to Homecoming. It was my first dance with a boy. My dad was so excited, when ever I got asked to a dance, my parents went nuts. They had to plan everything. But this particular dance, I was not excited at all to go with this guy. We went and looked for dresses and I had a melt down in the dressing room. My dad felt bad and he told my mom to try on a purple dress to make me laugh, but she wouldn't. So he took the dress and put it on and it was really silly. I was so thankful for that moment. My parents said that I didn't have to go to the dance with that person and the guy ended up having sex with the girl and she was pregnant after wards. He was a bad influence and he was really ugly!
Me and my dad liked to do puzzles together. We would stay up really late on weekends trying to get them done! We modge podged one of the New York City sky line and it was so much fun. That is so special to me!
My dad always took me out on daddy daughter dates. One morning he took me to Mimi's Cafe and we got some Crousaints and eggs and ham. We always had nice talks about school and church. I am so happy that my dad took the time out of his busy day to dine with me.
Before church when I was about 8 or 9 my dad would paint my nails on the kitchen counter. It was so much fun because would always do it perfectly.
When my dad went to school for esthetician school, he gave me facials and pedicures and manicures and he even waxed my legs!
My dad cross-stitched beautifully. He taught me how to and we would sit as a family and watch movies and cross-stitch together.
One time we were going to try to make home made tempura vegetables, my dad bought the batter and started to make it and they were not turning out right. The batter is supposed to be used for deep fryers. We just used a pot of really hot oil. I am so lucky that my dad was a chef. When my mom worked and he was home, he would make us lunch or dinner and it was so delicious. We had Pasta with broccoli and it was in a butter sauce. For homecoming one year, he cooked dinner for me and my date and he made chicken kabobs with rice. And we cannot forget the home made breaded chicken with rice or pasta.
I am sooooo thankful for the special moments I had with my dad. There are so many. Too much to count. I am happy that my parents are awesome and together forever.
