Bubbly Toes

Hello! First post since last week, but hey. So I woke up this morning and 2 thoughts crossed my mind. The first one being IT IS SUPPOSED TO SNOW TODAY! The second one ONLY 8 MORE DAYS!

Yes my first thought of the day was it is suppose to snow today. Every once in a while I will ask Dallin Lewis how chill we are? I say Dallin how chill are you? Then he sends me a weather report, because that's just who he is. I love it, he will be on the flipping TV by the time I get home. I am almost certain. Well anyway so I asked him that and he knows I love snow and he told me a slight chance of snow today and I took it and ran with it. Now look at it, it's not much but it's definitely better than nothing! I love it, I hope it snows until I leave every day for lot's of snow! I mean think of all the fun stuff you get to do in the snow. Skiing, snowball fights, sledding, throw snowballs at people, do doughnuts, and just have tons of fun! It's probably one of the best things ever I think. Sometimes people don't like the snow, well I can't get enough of it! So bring on the snow baby. I won't get it in Cali so I need to fill the canteen in a sense.

Second thought 8 more days. That thought speaks for itself, and it amazes me that it's this close. The farewell talk was on Sunday and luckily I got through it and felt I did ok. It was so much fun to see everyone again, and I am glad to have that out of the way. Only 8 days left I hope to make the most of it! And you can bet i'll be loving the snow!

0.0% Smooth

So todays post goes out to all those fella's, me included, who no matter what I try can not be smooth. In anything at all. First off and the most obvious, with girls. I can not be smooth. Ya know occasionally I pull something off by accident but wow it amazes me how bad I can botch something. Like when your going to hug a girl and you step in and you feel her foot beneath your shoe. Or when you try to say a pick up line and you say it wrong? Yeah these things are a daily basis for me now. It's terrible and the harder I try the worse I get. And to anyone well any guy who reads this and thinks "man that will never happen to me" I laugh. It probably will happen too you and probably just because you thought that it will happen twice. Karma friend karma :)

Next thing, tonight playing a Madden football game with my brother in law, and i'm up 19-0. I'm playing with my Broncos and looking unstoppable. Then reality hits, 2 quick interceptions a few quick scores and he's up. He later wins me by 10 points 31-41. Then I realized my problem I had JAKE PLUMMER in the game! Jake Plummer is terrible and I realized at that moment that it was not my inability to smoothly close out that game, it was Jake Plummers fault. He's no good and I should have benched him.

Anyway so keep it smooth, and it will work out better for you probably. Well I hope so at least.

Oh by the way today was another edition of Muffin Monday! I got together with John, Ellen, and Kim Cheney and we made some of the most scrumptious muffins I had ever tasted. Peach Pecan Muffins, but don't let the name fool you they were so good. We then delivered and I can't wait for next week to do it all over again! Hooray for muffin Monday.

Also it's a big week, with Thanksgiving, the Utah-Team down south game, and i'm speaking in church. It could get messy so let's hope that all these events go good. :)

Happy Days

For the past week, there has just been a lot of enjoyable times. I guess it's just one of those things that when your feeling good your feeling good. So i'm just going to tell you a little bit about happy times.

Wednesday-As in a week from today, I was able to go to leaf relief! You may be asking what the devil is that? Well once a fall all of the people in my ward and whoever wants to come gets together just to go and help pick up everyones leafs. It's actually fun and was made especially fun because John Fisihetau came and helped. Ya know service is actually really so fun and I truly enjoyed but were not done. After that I went over to Johns and watched him open up his mission call! He is going to Apia Samoa! It was so great I had never seen John the way he was the night, just he was so happy and I am happy for him! Go get em' Elder!

Thursday-Mmmmmmmm, that's about all I can say. I was able to go see the MHS production of Cinderella. That was actually so fun, it was great! I was able to see a lot of my good friends, actually most of which were in the pit. But big shout out to Alicia Voorhees. Wow she was so amazing, and just wow. So yes but more coming up about this later.

Friday-Yes, well first off Dodge came home which I always enjoy. I didn't have work so it was just a good Friday. Played a little Zilch with Dal Pal and Rog (A dice game) then just chilled. Ya know I can't even really remember what we did but that doesn't really matter. I can already tell you that it was awesome cause whenever me and Dodge get together it's a good time.

Saturday-Big lineup. Went and played a little basketball with Eric and company. I love basketball and it was fun to get to go play again. Then straight off to the Utah game, where we pounded the Cowboys 50-0. And about Coach Witt's onside kick and whatever else, some people were all ticked because they felt he was running up the score. All I have to say is whatever. The game is on and if you are the superior team you are the superior team. I have been on both sides of a blow out and is it fun? no not a chance, but still you count on a Conference opponent to come to play. So come to play and don't get blown out. That's all I have to say. Now that night I went to the play again. Yes twice and it was just as good the second time. Alicia did amazing again and we were able to make Jonathan (Dodge's little brother) laugh while on stage. Standing ovation and wow. Call that one what it is, amazing.

Sunday-Who doesn't love a Sunday where all you do is chill with Family and friends. Ate a delicious dinner with the fam, went to a singing fireside, then John and Ellen came over to get me letters for Brocks package. Ended up just chatting and having a good time.

Monday-Normal day except that it was MUFFIN MONDAY! A new tradition between Ellen, John and I. Where we get together every Monday I have left and make muffins. This last week was Pumpkin Chocolate chip and next week will be a surprise. Then Preston came up and we chilled till the wee hours of the morning just doing what we do best, chilling. I loved it I wish Preston came up more so I could do more chilling.

Tuesday-I got to play frisbee which automatically makes it a good day. I went to Southwood and just was able to chill with Ell Bell throwing the frisbee around. Then went to Savior of the World which Spencer Hunter was in. Man I give big props because it was so good. I recommend it if I can do that and wish you would go see that. Do it.

Wednesday (Today)-yes today has already been a good day. For one I am now 3 weeks away from the mission today. And although a daunting thought I couldn't be more excited. So I woke up and just knew, then as I proceeded downstairs I saw a letter from my Mission Pres.! It told me that I will need to buy a bike when I get there and told me a bunch of other stuff about the mission. Like I got a zone map and then a bunch of info sheets and other things that my Mission Pres wants to know about me! I am pumped.

Yes a good week I would say. I have just been able to smile all week because it's just been awesome. So don't even worry about it :)

I WANT MY TURKEY DINNER!

So I start this post off with a question? What ever happened to Thanksgiving? Has the American society just abandoned all hope of being thankful for something? Let me tell you what I am talking about. November 1, 2 radio stations in the State of Utah started to play Christmas music. Those to radio stations are FM 100 and Kosy 106.5 The thought that Christmas music is being played right now at this exact moment in time is driving me nuts! Secondly I walked in a couple of stores the other day and there are Christmas decorations up! Big signs talking about Christmas, Christmas trees, presents, wrapping paper, and everything that goes with the great holiday of Christmas.

Now i'm not disrespecting Christmas I am just respecting Thanksgiving. I mean maybe it's just because I love the month of November I mean who doesn't? What with Ski season, and Basketball season, the Utah playing the team down south, Thanksgiving and snow? The fact that it is also my birth month helps but how can you go wrong with all of that fun stuff?

Now that i've rambled a bit, I am just going to ask let's show Thanksgiving a little love. It's time to be thankful and remember all of your blessings. Oh and today I am thankful for the fact that way I am down to 24/25 days depending on how you count. Woooo! Having just read Prestons blog I liked what he said about Pippen's line. "I don't want to fight in a battle, but waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse" I feel like Preston and Pippen just reversed, I want to serve a mission, and just get out there. I am tired of waiting. I just hope what they say is true, good things come to those who wait :) And remember be thankful and remember Thanksgiving this year.

31 days and counting.......

So let me tell you something to you about something. So when I got my mission call some two months ago it was an eternity before December. Well at first it was, that first month was as slow as molasses in January in Antarctica. Well pretty slow ya know. I was just wondering how on earth am I going to make it to December 5th?

Well standing here at the end of month two I am wondering where the time went? It was so fast and I am looking back thinking of all the fun stuff I was able to do! Such as chill with my friends, play frisbee, be with my family, and watch sports of course. It was such a fun time and just being myself. I give big props to Ellen and Brooke for being so chill and saving me more than once and John also. Preston and Rog to be with on weekends. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Now I embark on that third and last month. Looking at all the fun stuff ahead such as, JAZZ BASKETBALL, Ski season, Utah football, hopefully a trip to the beach, and a lot of time with friends and family. Squeeze some frisbee in there and this month I would imagine goes by faster than the last. All I can say is December 5th is coming fast and I wouldn't have it any other way. California, Santa Rosa here I come.......in 31 days that is. And even for that matter Provo, Utah here I come.....in 31 days. Then California, Santa Rosa. :)
