The Indian

The story of the Indian and I is a pretty short one. Back when Garit was living at the Kathan house the Indian was a lustful icon to all that lived there. The neck of destiny mesmerized even the strongest men. But its powers go far beyond my knowledge. Unfortunately the neck is so powerful I cannot show it.... After Kathan moved, he was left in the rain so I took him in and he has protected me ever since. If you guys want to fill in on the story before I got him that would be great.

Suprising Lessons

It's funny how a person's day turns out. I went to school thinking it was going to be a typical day. I stepped into my first class to find out that elder Uchtdorf was speaking at the mckay event center. we all got out early and those of us that wanted to go see him talk could. I only cought the last half but here were some cool things he said:

• He loves institute and aviation. They both get you closer to heaven.- This made me chuckle.
• How we act today will effect future generations.- This made me think about the upcoming election and the vote on proposition 8. So much that is happening right now is going to effect our children, what they learn in schools and others outside of church will be greatly effected and to be honest, I'm terrified for the outcome.
  
• Fear not to do good.- Today it seems like service has been the main theme. In institute, we talked a lot about the low of consecration. Sister hepworth told a very touching story about her brother who fell 15 feet on his head and neck. He went into a comma and the doctors said he had 8 blood leaks in his brain and would not survive. after many blessings he is out of the hospital but completely paralyzed. to make a long story short, he needed a new fridge and couldn't afford it. sister hepworth and her husband prayed and prayed. then last week they received a card with a check of 1000 dollars from people that heard about her brother. In the note they explain that since the accident they have thought and prayed what they could do for him but got no answer until last week. It was such an amazing story and the spirit was insanely heavy in the class room. She also quoted a magazine that I found really interesting:
  
• "5 of the richest people in the world have the combined net worth of 1 trillion dollars. 3 of the 5 = 48 poorest countries in the world's worth."

Today gave me a nice round house kick to the face. Lately I have been so caught up with my own problems and money issues. This world needs more charity and service and it starts with each of us. come on now, give a little love people.

Tabby Tartar

Over the summer I spent a couple of weekends out in tabby. It is pretty much my dream town. It is nestled snuggly around rolling hills with a population about 300. Just being there makes your blood pressure regulate itself. Jeremy and his family own a ranch out there. Heres their website and heres a couple pictures:


This is an elk lodge that the Stringhams built over the summer.

The inside of the lodge.

This is the Stringham's beautiful home.

I don't think he liked us hanging out with his pals.

My new pad

I pretty much have my room set up. All I need now is desk chair and ill be set! haha

I'm Back!

So I finally have internet again so here I am getting my blog on and I just noticed that I am ironically wearing my blog shirt...

Last week I moved to a pretty sweet/cheap apt that is down 800 south in orem. It's pretty sweet that I could walk to school if I feel the need to. But given the fact that its going to snow soon I doubt that will happen. I have lived here for almost a week and the only thing unpacked is my computer.. and thats on the floor hahaha. I almost couldn't get my bed down the stares but after some ninja kicks and a broken door frame it was a piece of cake.

School is going really well. It seems like I am finally getting into the college "grove". Last year I was always so stressed but this year it looks like I am getting pretty good grades and just enjoying being in school.

I feel kind of sad moving out of my brothers house, I know they need the extra storage room but I was really enjoying their company spending what time I had with the kids. I swear they can make me laugh like a dork better than anyone these days.

I have been so tempted to play wow again. I think it's because the new expansion is coming next month. Although I have been looking at the age of conan and that is looking pretty sweet. It looks pretty bloody though. Eh, I don't know. I torn between an old love and a new flame....

How would you like to wake up in the middle of the night and try to tell time with this bad boy? http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/lights/59e0/

I honestly almost pee'd when we were playing with oranges, it was sooo funny... I love that kid


Me and Jer at the manti pageant earlier this summer. I think he likes me or something...
