Life Blowing Up In My Face

Well, as I've said before, don't work with family.  It's not a good experience.  Especially when you were warned before hand that this particular individual has not followed through on their word in the past.  You should listen to advice like that and it will keep you out of situations like mine.
Having said that, let me explain what is causing life to blow up in my face.  My uncle who has promised me so many things for coming down to tend his kids for him, doesn't know how to keep his word.  It all started by promising me the master bedroom since they weren't going to be home to use it.  I should have acted on that sign of untrustworthiness, seeing as how I never ended up in that room.  I got crammed in the smallest room in the house and told to stop complaining.  Now that they are moving, he started promising me certain things that would allow me to continue living down here and go on with life.  All of these promises are being broken as well.  First with being able to rent out his house.  That is out the window since he decided to try and sell it instead.  Next, he promised me a vehicle to use for the summer.  Now he is taking that with him, even though he won't ever use it.  He also promised to pay me back for money that I lent him.  This is also not happening, so all in all, I have no place to live, no transportation, i'm out almost 700 dollars that will never get repaid, and he's telling me to stop complaining yet again!  I hope that in the future I have better luck with family and being able to trust them, because this nine month experiment ruined my trust for anyone.

The View From Apple Valley

The drive up to Apple Valley from Hurricane is actually a pretty nice view.  I have never really stopped to notice it until now, so here are some pictures of the beautiful drive.  It does help that there is color back in everything and not just muddy or snowy now.
