Mi Padre

Happy Father's day to the only dad I've met that knows almost

everything about tools, cars, baseball, emergency medicine, 

heating and air conditioning, and how to fall asleep anywhere

at any time.

Happy 8th Grade Graduation

I Have Gone Bananas

Remember before the summer started when I was looking for a job so I would have something to do? Well, I have two part time jobs and an internship to keep me busy. First, is the youth ministry internship at church. Then there is the scorekeeping job a couple nights a week, and finally is the job at Goin’ Bananas. It’s a new frozen yogurt and smoothie shop, and it’s cheaper and tastier than the other yogurt place in town. 

One of the most exciting discoveries of the summer has been figuring out how to get Netflix on the Wii. When I’m not working, you can probably find me sitting on the couch watching Medium. I just can’t get enough of that crime-solving psychic or her middle daughter, who is one of my favorite television characters of all time. This also allowed me to have a Medium marathon yesterday when I was sick.

Last Friday was the eighth grade dance. Robert was thrilled about having the chance to dress up. Apparently he does listen to me because he wore P.F. Flyers ("Shoes guaranteed to make a kid run faster and jump higher") instead of nice dress up shoes.

Mi Madre

Every day I catch myself sounding more and more like my mom. Sometimes it 

really freaks me out, but actually I'm kind of starting to like it.

My Mama is so pretty.

We Need Our Own Show

Here’s just a taste of the funny things that have been said by the Frias family this past week. It’s no wonder I missed home.

Newscaster- “The serial flasher is described as a white male, 20-30 years old, 5’5”-5’11”, with brown hair, and clean shaven.”

Robert- “Clean shaven where?”

Robert- “Can you bring me a drink?”

Dad- “You have iced tea.”

Robert- “Well, I only have a little bit left.”

Dad- “Pace yourself.”

After watching 127 Hours...

Me- “Is there really a need to translate this to spanish?”

Robert- “Seriously, what’s he gonna say, ‘¡Ay!’?”

My mom has multiple quotes. None of which would be funny to anyone because they weren’t there to hear her actually say it. Her voice is really the only reason we find what she says hilarious. Some of her quotes are things such as:

“Four please.”

“Raspberry.”

“Walmart is the biggest company in the history of the world.”

“Does anyone want a ham sandwich?”

It's obvious that we have the potential
to be the next big TV stars.

"For-ev-ver"

This school year went by ridiculously fast, and I couldn’t have asked for a better freshman year. Dang, thinking about everything that happened just makes me smile. Every day I felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. That feeling came with me back to Prescott because I’m currently sitting in my living room with my brother and mom (my dad is already asleep and probably has been since 8:00) watching the Sandlot after going to Easter Vigil and I can’t imagine being anywhere else.

I’m so glad to be back in Prescott, but then it hit me the other day that after I’ve been back here for a couple weeks, I’m going to start to miss my Utah family. Honestly, it might just be a couple days. This is the disadvantage to going to school out of state. No matter where I am, there are going to be people missing in my life. 

Okay, maybe I didn't feel the love when
the weather looked like this.

However, I did feel like I was right where I
was supposed to be when I was around these people.

Romans 6:9-11

We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him. As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life, he lives for God. Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as being dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.

In One Week

I will be spending my day with these guys...
