What's up Homies????

What's up Homies? My name is Nickelcrack Harper. I like long walks in the snow, my favorite color is pee green, and my ultimate goal is to milk a cow. Now, for the long awaited update...

I have some excited news to share with everyone about my job. I won the Manger of the Year award. I am very humble and will not brag but my friend Kim believes strongly that I deserved this award because I am an extremely hard worker and always put 100 percent towards improving upon an already great management.

As for my house, I just finished up my Christmas tree. This is one of my better trees this year. On one side, the lights do not work, and the other the lights are very bright. Tank kept laying on the decorations so there is probably drool all over the tree. Very Christmassy! We also laid the concrete slab in our driveway and finished putting up a fence. Our home is looking better and better. I love it up here!

We just got our first letter from Dallas now that he is in Mexico. Poor guy is living in a shanty that is made up of dirt floors with no plumbing. He has to shower with a cold bucket every morning and do his laundry by hand. He has already had to eat cow stomach and fish (he hates fish). Luckily, he is with a companion that does not speak any English. This kind of forces him to learn the language quickly. His letter made me grateful for everything in our lives that we take for granted. We are all very blessed.

I have been a traveling feen this year. Earlier this year, we went to Vegas with Kim and Jake. It's always entertaining when we get together. Let's just say that the boys weren't too happy with Kim and I. But we had fun! We caught a couple shows, shopped, and laid out.

My family and I recently went to Florida for the Florida State-BYU game (BYU lost, tear) but the weather was beautiful and I laid out and got a tan. [pictures inserted here]

We then headed up to Savannah, Georgia. It was full of amazing architecture and historic buildings. A little known fact: It is the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low. She is the founder of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. A little corporation that I'm sure a few of you have heard of. I hope that one day I will be able to consider myself a girl scout. Knots were always hard for me.

After Savannah we headed up to New York, NY. A few of my friends were a little jealous to say the least. We caught a Yankees game. I couldn't miss Derek Jeter's booty in his baseball uniform. My dad went on his mission here so it is always fun to go back with him.

We also made it to Cancun, Mexico. We got to stay at this all-inclusive hotel where ate lots of amazing food, played in the ocean and saw some incredible ruins! I took lots of pics of this trip....

Lastly, I want to say how much I love my friend Kim. I have this picture of her by my bed so that she's the last thing I see when I go to sleep and the first thing to see when I wake up. Some people think it's a little creepy (kim even) but it just shows how much I love her. Here is the picture.....




That's all for now peeps, let's hope it's not another year before I update again!
