Utah Trip

I've been promising my friend all semester I would come visit him in Provo. He goes to BYU, which is my mother school, which is about 4 hours away...so its not really just a drive down the street. But my roommate mentioned that he wanted to go to ESPN gameday, which is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity, so I told him I would go with him if he went. To make everything come together....we decided to go. Here is what happened:

Need i say more......NO

Friday night was crazy. First of all, I didn't get any zzzzzzzzzzz's. I stayed up all night so I could get a good position at Gameday. Dalin opted out on not coming, and I don't blame him. He has to wake up at 6 everyday to work out with the football team. So saturday is his only day to sleep in. My friend from Liousiana called me and said she and her roommates were goin, so I decided to go with them.

This was a good time, I got to be on National TV...I'm pretty much a superstar now. But staying up all night drained me intensely. The next day I spent the day with my baby bro dal. We hit up red robin, which was absolutely delicious. My cousin Mike and his son Brett, and my cousin Payton randomly showed up there too so it was a good time. After that we headed to the football game.

The football game was reallllly fun. No BYU didn't win, actually they got destroyed, but the atmosphere was amazing. We had great seats, thanks to Dalin. It felt like we were right in the action. But we were just one in the million fans that were there.

my Bhudda

The anwswer is no...i am not a Bhuddist. but studying philosophy has taught me that there have been many men throughout time that have been inspired by God and have been given light and knowledge about our existence. .

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment"

I have most definitely had a good life thus far. I have memories that will never be forgotten, memories I do not want to forget...such as:

.
.

v Going to work with my dad and believing he was actually letting me drive the tractor
v Riding horses with my sibs in the pasture and around the feedlot
v Going to the fire hall, playing pool, darts, and sitting in the fire trucks with pops
v Gong to a countless number of sugar bowls and cheering on the bro’s
v Heading to the ice rink and playing British bulldog
v Swimming all day everyday in the summers

v Friday Night Lights- post game parties

v High school
v Hanging out with the sibs
v My mission, where I was blessed beyond measure, and still receive blessings to this day

It has been these past experiences, and many more, that have helped shape who I am today. But it is who I am today, that is most important. We must move on.

My life in the shell of a nut

In case there are readers out there who know nothin, little, bits and pieces, or even a lot about me, either ways, your going to get "discourses" about my life. Maybe you might get bored, you might even learn new things about me. If I leave you hanging on something and want to know more, then you can ask...i might tell :) And i'm going to give hints of what my next post is going to be.......fireman

SHOES ARE ART

These are the wonderful shoes that are currently in my closet at school. Now don't get me wrong I got tons more at home, but these are the essentials that I need with me. 2 pairs of dress shoes, training shoes, 2 pairs of basketball shoes (love my purple Kobes), sandals, and a couple pair of tennis shoes. I have to contain myself. I could easily spend $200 dollars a month on shoes...but dont worry, i dont!! we alll goood!!

Fall Baseball

Baseball has been pretty good this year. I have found my swing and everything has been falling in place. I'm playing for the Spartans and we have a great team. The guys on my team are great, and we get along, which helps win games. Our record is 2-1-1. IF you don't know what that is...its 2 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie. Our tie should have been a win, we were winning the whole game, but the team came back in the last inning and tied us, we were so mad, but those kinds of things happen in sports, and you gotta live with it.



Our loss on the otherhand...well we just didn't play too hot. It was a night game and it was really cold. I play in the outfield, and it was reallllly cold out there. Anyways they hit the ball on the ground to me, so I ran to it as hard as I could. That was a mistake cause my muscles were cold, and I pulled my quad. So after that inning I pulled myself out of the game and let a team mate on the bench who doesn't play alot take my place. And he did a good job...proud of ya Spenc. We have a game tomorrow at 1, its going to be fun. It needs to end before 3:30 though so I can go do baptisms for the dead at the temple. Wow this is getting long, i'll shut up now. BYE

The Little Ones

The three oldest grandchildren....the only grandchildren, thus far of course. I would have to say they're pretty good kids...cant say anything bad about them, cause the're mom is probably going to read this...jk shells!!!!!!!!!!

Daine is the oldest, he takes after me and likes to lose his teeth. Brody is next in line, mini-doug, then baby Summer, who was born in the winter.

Anyways, look at these cute kids. How could you not love them?

Dear girl across the room,

When you saw me talking to an imaginary person...the truth is, I actually wasn't talking to anybody, or anything, but I was singing a song in my head. I may have accidently let it get out of hand as I started mouthing the lyrics. And although I pretty much sang the whole song like this, which happped to be Taylor Swift, I am completely ok and totally sane. I zoned out, give me break!

I did notice the way you were looking at me...how long you were staring at me I do not know. You were looking at me as if I were crazy, and i can promise you, i'm not. I may have had an imaginary friend when I was 4 or 5, but he left me for another little boy when i got older. I was totally singing a song. So next time I wave to you that everything is okay with me, wave back instead of giving me a "i feel sorry for you" smile, so i dont feel bad the rest of the class.

<3 the boy you thinks is crazy

nEW phone finallyyy

Check it out yall!! havent gotten service for it yet, but thats coming soon. Im hungry.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

in case you were wondering about the pink....october is breat cancer awareness month. organizations and parties all over the world use this month as a time to offer charitable donations to help those recover, and also for research. So bust out your pink and show the world that you are a true supporter!!

BILLS

Everyone knows i love sports. its good fun entertainment, and i love to play sports too, probably cause i'm good at them...no lies!! And football season kinda just started, four weeks ago. so i thought i better designate a blog to my favourite team, the buffalo Bills. I really enjoy watching them play, they are not exactly the best team in the NFL, they are more one of the worst teams, but miracles happen, right Vince Papali? Marshawn Lynch 23 is my fave running back. unfortunately, he had some trouble with the law awhile back and missed a few games....but he is back. so watch out world!!! i want to go to NY and watch them play, it would be AWESOME...whose's in??

Conference

It seemed like the tie theme for conference this year was red...did anyone else see that or was it just me? Doesn't matter. Conference was really good, if you heard it, you know what I mean, if you haven't heard it, you will know what i mean. I can't say that there was one talk that really picked me off the ground and dropped me in marshmallow heaven where everything is perfect, but all together they were brilliant and touching. whether it was a speaker that was saying this or the spirit whispering it into my head, but you always get that feeling that you can do better. I feel like I can take more charge in my life. I know what is right and wrong, and i know what i'm suppose to choose. but sometimes people get the upper hand and i choose wrong over right. lately i may or may not have let people influence me too much. i know that i shouldn't let anyone dictate how i should live my life. if i do, i become the lesser man. and of course, i want to be more of a greater man. the end

PICS SOON

Yup!! I'm gettin a phone with a camera on it so I can start taking some new pictures of me and my wonderful life!!! I guess I could just get a normal camera....different story for a different day. I'm excited to get it obviously, since i'm blogging about it at 2:30 in the AM's! It should be here early this upcoming week. The sad part is, is that I am getting a new number too, and that is always a hassle. Its a hassle enough to switch numbers going to Canada, then to the USA, then back and forth etc... But it's not really a big deal. I'm not going to lose sleep over it! Oh ya and my phone is kinda like a hybrid...two in one sort of thing, three in one actually. I can put music on it instead of taking my touch out of my SUV, as well as take pictures...and use it as a phone.

Holy Saturday

Conference today...yay!! I've been looking forward to this weekend for a time of relaxing and rejuvenation (if that word works...idk). And a time to catch up on my homework too. Not that I'm behind, but sometimes its good to get ahead. Conference has been really good today. I had the chance to go to conference...had tickets!!! I've never been. So why didn't I go? I just didn't. I will someday, but I wasn't feelin the travelling. Sometimes its nice to just stay put, eat during the show, lay down with a blanket, chit-chat...you get the picture. Hopefully my blog doesn't suck. Which it might until I get the hang of it...my apologies.

The beginning....

This all seems very foreign to me. This first post will be a test, just to make sure that everything is working fine and dandy!!!
