I come for some reason.

I felt like writing something but to be honest I have nothing to write about. All I ever do is work and homework, occasionally I play some games or read a book but honestly I don't do anything. I guess I could post one new picture of Olivia. That has been the highlight of the past week.
HAHAHA all she does is chill in her little chair with, yes Mom that is one of the blankets you made for her.
It's been getting colder and colder here every day, I watched the temperature at work all day and it never got over 50 all day. It was GREAT! And we're supposed to get snow for the next 2 days, so I hope that happens.
My biggest new accomplishment has been my "piggy bank". Yeah I figured that if I put my extra money in a sealed jar I can't spend it with out breaking the whole thing. Hopefully I can get around to saving some more money, if any at all. But the bank really isn't a pig . . . or a bank really. It's an old peanut jar that I rubber cemented shut than covered about 15 times with duck tape. It should hold...I think.
Nothing really exciting has been happening in my building, I have yelled at a few more kids the past couple weeks, but that's mostly because they are mentally handicapped when it comes to owning common sense. Seriously it's not that hard to act like an adult. . . . . Some people's kids.

Takin a break

So in a quick break between massive mounds of homework, I have decided to do a quick post on the great huge wonderful news as of late. This past Sunday I received my first current temple recommend in years. And so to celebrate, Tyler, Magnum and I went out to do a session at the Manti temple. The first session for me in 3 years and 5 months. When we got there unfortunately Magnum's recommend had expired 4 days ago, so it ended up just being Tyler and I. It was great, it was my first session back and Ty's first live session. It was so nice to just go in and forget about everything else that is going on. I loved it. What made it even more cool, at least for me, was the fact that the first time Tyler tried to bring me back my temple stuff he brought the wrong bag SO I actually ended up with my Dad's old stuff and in return I gifted my stuff to Tyler. So from now on I will be using my Dad's stuff which is really cool, mostly for the one inch wide tie that I get to wear. It is epic.

"What a nice bear. He smells like strawberries TOO!"

Surprise post

I have decided to do one special post with a few of my favorite pictures of Olivia. In about 9 days she will already be 2 months old. I am still very happy about how everything has happened. I am so SO grateful for Vaughn, Amy and Addy and their acceptance of this beautiful little girl.

3 Season Territory

So it has happened, for the most part we have completely skipped fall. Utah's fall is about 2 1/2 weeks long then it's straight into winter. It has been amazingly cold lately, people have been having to scrape their windows in the mornings, but not I. Yes my truck is that awesome! But the past day or so it has been really nice in the afternoons around the time I get off work.
I do have a couple of pictures of some of the coolest/funniest things I have gotten or seen lately, I have to admit they are pretty amazing!!
It's been pretty boring and uneventful down here. I don't really have much to comment on other than that I love fall here, there's so many HUGE trees here that there are leaves everywhere! Especially on campus...okay so the huge bottle of colon flow on my screen is really distracting..just sayin..... but the whole campus turns yellow because of the amount of leaves on the ground. It's pretty cool.
This week end is Halloween and for the first time in a long time I really have absolutely no plans, in fact I plan on shutting my doors and locking my room one and not answering, even if people know I'm home. I'm so ready for a relaxing weekend of nothingness... well except for homework and football. I would like to have a weekend full of Fable 3 but I don't have a copy of it and to be honest it kinda pisses me off. I really REALLY want to play that. I love the fable games.
I was going to come home this weekend and visit but I decided that it would be smarter to stay and spend my money on food and part of the bill on my truck, though I have still yet to register it, yeah I don't really have 100+ dollars sitting around to pay the tax on it, so I am going to have to save for that one.
I know this post has been fairly boring but I figured that if there is a picture of colon flow on the screen I can type anything I want and it will count as a pretty epic post.
Oh and by the way, Giants=awesome! This world series has been quite awesome. I'm thinking of growing my beard a lot longer and dying it black in support of Brian Wilson (the closer for the Giants)

"Icky thump, who'da thunk, sittin drunk on a wagon to Mexico"

Nothing really to call home about

This latest post was actually written at work on a yellow legal pad. Yes my job can get so boring and slow that I have time to write a whole post.
After this past weekend which was great minus 2 things; A) I didn't watch any football .. .. I know my life is so hard and sad B) I couldn't get on the internet to do homework. I have decided I'm not sure what I want to be doing and/or where I would like to be doing it. Part of me wants to stay here and keep working and see where this job can take me (which is probably no where further than living permanently in Ephraim). Yet after some thought this weekend and a few really good conversations with different people, that's probably not the smartest thing at all. Lyric had a great point, this is a good job but not a career for me. Though it is nice that they want to give me all the extra training and pay raises, cause I'll never complain about that. And I really do/don't like it here. I mean it is a great town, it's nice, and quiet, very friendly...just a good place but I'm an hour or more from anyone or anything. Which I would be fine with if I was married and raising a family but well..surprise I'm not right now. Sorry I had to spring that surprise on you. And because I'm not I would actually like to be closer to everyone else for now.
And now I have started to think twice about what I really want to do for school. I don't know if teaching history really is the route I want to be taking. I got talking with a really nice older lady at work the other day and she was asking me what I was going to school for and I told her the past 2 1/2 years I was working on being a history/social sciences teacher but then I remembered the night before I was going over some old physics homework and I remembered how much I liked that class, so I also told her I was thinking of going into physics also (though I'm not sure why I said that cause I haven't really thought that until recently). She then made a comment that is very true, history teachers are great and it's a good subject but they are a dime a dozen. Every football player forced to choose a major chooses history. It's easy, everyone knows it. I realized she was and still is right, more than any other subject (except for maybe dance) I have met TONS of history majors. Though I love history maybe it would be smarter for me to look into something else. She also made a point that I remember reading about, that there aren't enough people going into the sciences and it's a very open field of work and in need of a lot of college graduates. That's always nice, to be able to have a better chance of getting a career out of college in the subject I just graduated is the reason I am going to school.
So I have been thinking of going into physics now. What I would do...I'm not sure. Maybe I'll become Sheldon or Leonard from The Big Bang Theory.
Sorry this post has been a little boring and a little more serious than most others, so now it's time for some very interesting good stuff!! Big announcement..... we got a new rim poster in the bathroom at work! Yeah we did! Now I'm not so bored if I ever go in there hahahaha

Love it

Poker night, need I say more? Every Tuesday night at 9 p.m. nothing else matters (well almost). We gather in a tiny room and play for hours, tonight we played for 3 hours tonight. I love it.

That's all

The day of days

The year was 1985 and there were good things all around. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd were traveling through time, Sean Astin and his friends were all known as The Goonies. Whoopi Goldberg was winning awards for actual good movies. We still had Magnum P.I. and the A-team keeping us safe, thank you Mr. T. The Kansas City Royals were baseball world champions and Pete Rose was still allowed to play baseball, and the 49ers beat the Dolphins in the super bowl. Yes it was a good time to be alive.

Yet there is another thing that is far more pressing that happened in 1985 that for me was quite important. It happened in October on the ninth to be precise, yet my memory is fading so I could not tell you the time. It was in a small hospital in the city of American Fork, Utah. A young mother gave birth to her second son. Me, that’s right me.

Yesterday was my 25th birthday and I was blessed enough to spend it in Ephraim, not the ideal place for ANYONE to spend their birthday. It was most definately the last place I thought I would be spending this birthday if you would have asked me a few years ago. But it happens and thanks to Lyric it was a great one. To start the day Lyric showed up with breakfast for me, doughnuts and a coke, and we just hung out and watched football for the morning, around 1:15 we headed over to the football game. A little after half time I got really tired so we came back to my apartment and took a nap for quite some time, I think we slept for about 2 hours it was nice. After that I cooked us dinner, steak baked potatoes spaghetti squash and rolls. It was a good one. Then we just hung out for a little bit then took off to the homecoming dance. We were there for a bit then it was getting late so I had to get Lyric home so she didn't die driving home through the canyons. That and I was getting way tired again. Needless to say.. it was a great birthday, so thank you very much Lyric.

I do wish I would have gotten two things that I am going to have to eventually buy for my self, those things would be .......
