The Story

There once was a young boy that though he was young, he had led a stressful and tumultuous life so far. Yet he was a strong willed and determined young boy and sought to make his life the best it could be no matter what it took. After a great struggle and having to give up and leave the person he thought was going to be his help and guide down the path in life; but he realized by doing so he stood a chance of being happier down the path eventually. So after many days in a saddened depressed state the young boy began to have hopes and the courage to find another that he may want to be his help with his travels.

After a few unsuccessful attempts at trying to find a new person to share his adventures with our little hero was about to give up hope; but then after a random message sent to an old acquaintance, he found a girl that changed everything. She was more than he not only hoped for but also expected; smart, funny, adventurous and to top it off beautiful. He was so elated that they spent almost everyday together running and playing and enjoying their time together traveling down this path. Then one day came a decision the young boy had to make, would he stay on the path he was on or hop over to a new one that could possible provide a better future for him and his eventual family. After much debate he decided to switch paths. Though they were apart the boy and beautiful girl tried to continue traveling together but the distance proved too hard to handle for the young boy and after a lot of dumb choices he decided that it would be best to travel alone and try and forget the girl and how happy she made him.

For the next few months the young boy had many many trials and struggles traveling down his new path. He ran into many scary creatures barely escaping with his life and sanity, he fought with the issues of hunger, sleep deprivation and illness but his will was strong and he continued to forge ahead. Though he faced many hardships and many distractions he still could not shake the memory of his past with that girl. After a long while he came across another traveler down this same path. Quickly he and this new found friend were traveling side by side and making each others time there on the path a little more enjoyable. After a while our young boy and his new adventuring friend began to take more and more daring adventures until one day the boy felt like he would like her around more often. After a while the two were together almost every day heading down this long and winding path.

One night after a long day of walking and working their way down the path the young boy and girl fell asleep talking on the side of the path. That night he had a dream of him self, many years in the future. He saw him self coming home to a beautiful house on a sunny afternoon and as he walked through the door he was greeted by a couple of small children around the ages of 5 and 6. They came running up and calling him "Daddy" gave him ahugs around his legs and wanted to play. As they worked their way into the kitchen his wife stood with her back to him cooking at the stove. "Hello!" The dream self said with a smile. As his wife turned around to greet him he was hit with a surprise that was unexpected. It was the first girl, the one that he had worked so hard to move on from. She smiled back to him with that gorgeous smile. Her stunning green eyes staring back at him through locks of her beautiful brown hair that had fallen out of place. The boy was frozen in place, he couldn't move. This was a surprise to him, so much that it pulled him out of his sleep. Realizing there was someone asleep next to him he figured it was the girl from his past, but as his eyes adjusted he realized it was his new companion. For the rest of the night this poor young boy struggled with falling asleep. Finally after hours of restlessness the small wind up clock next to him rung it's tiny bells. Usually this sound was annoying and hard on his ears but this morning it brought relief. He could get up and start clearing his mind with the days laborious task of continuing down the path.

For the next month of travel the only thing our little adventurer had on his mind was his old friend. No matter the circumstances there was always something there to remind him of her. It got to the point that he was starting to get depressed at the thought of not having her around. But unfortunately this attitude and behavior started to reflect outwards and his new traveling partner was starting to take notice and worry that something was wrong. Though he wished he could tell her he continuously about how he was feeling he knew that would make his new friend feel unimportant.

After a while of traveling with his new friend the young boy couldn't help it anymore he had to do something, so one day he sent his friend from times past a little piece of mail explaining how he was feel about life and everything that had happened. Unbeknown to him the old friend had been wondering how he was doing. The mail had caught her off guard also. So after months of absence they decided to talk and see how each other was faring down their respective paths.

This brings us to the current spot in our young traveler's life. He has come to a fork in the path, up one path he may be able to work his way back to his old friend, the one he had continually been happy with but would have to rework how his career would pan out. Down the other he would continue with his new friend, not sure if he should be traveling with her or not but knowing how to work towards his career. This has become a critical part in our hero's life, not knowing what to do or how to do it, he stands at the fork. A piece of mail in one hand and new friend on the other.

Now all that's left is to make a decision.........

Summer time

And the living is easy. Countless bbq's, fires up the canyon, camping and all sorts of hoodwinks. Summer is most definately here. It was 91 degrees here in Ephraim yesterday when only a couple weeks ago it was snowing. Rediculous! The town has started to flood a bit and all around town there are pallets of sand bags to help as it gets higher but I am not worried for my apartment.
Back to the summer thing, as of now only 3 weeks into summer Alva and I have already done 4 bbq's and 2 fires in the canyon. A good start. We have about 35 lbs of charcoal in our closet so there is still lots of cooking to do and in no way am I depressed about that. Living with Alva has been a good time, hands down one of the top two roommates I have ever had.
I am tyring to locate a camera so that I can document and post pictures through out the summer so that there are pictures to assist in the story telling but so far no luck in finding one. The only thing that could make this summer better are not being sick at the moment and more paintball. I know I could play a lot but driving all the way up to provo every weekend gets expensive for someone as poor as me.
I do wish I was able to take a break and go on a vacation this summer but the vacation I get will come at the end and I get, or should I say HAVE to take a week off of work to go do training for next school year. . . .yay . . Worst summer vacation ever. But atleast it will be a break from work for the first time in a long time.

This has been a pleasant post hasn't it? I know right? I must be sick, I mean it seems like all I do is complain and have issues.
.

Don't worry I have another post to make that isn't about the summer and the good parts of it. So for now ... enjoy this one.

Bye
