Remember?

I went to the D.I. and bought a desk and an old fold-up chair with Breeann a while ago. haha we remembered that tonight and I thought it was funny. That was a good time, fitting that huge desk into my van somehow. Random. Then last night Kyle wrestled Sydney as if she was a man. Then he fell off the couch onto his head. haha I am glad for everyone that came to listen to my talk, and I'm grateful to everyone of you that made any sort of impact on my life. Every person I have met has somehow affected my life to give me experience to get to this point. I leave for the Missionary Training Center Wednesday afternoon, and I'm willing to bet I'm not going to have time to post again before that. Thank you all for everything. I'm going to miss a lot of you (some more than others haha) and I'm glad for any and all the support I've received from everyone. I wouldn't be going on a mission if I wasn't surrounded by the amazing people in my life. You know who you are, and I love you. God be with you until we meet again.

What Pre-Missionaries Do In Vegas

Adam and Stephen and myself were able to take a little vacation last weekend to Las Vegas to watch a lacrosse tournament. Not that we actually watched the games, but we had a ton of fun. We went to the Atomic Testing Museum and learned about the history of the Atom bomb, and got lost quite a bit. We made more U-turns in 3 days than I have in my entire life. We got to go to the Vegas Temple, and I was so glad we did, because we walked the strip and were hit with a barrage of people handing out cards with porn on them. We were blessed with the strength to not punch them all, say "Shame on you!," and run away. haha So we went into Walgreens and looked for some Pokemon cards to hand out to people on the street but they were way too expensive...so we didn't do it. We just ignored them. But next time...haha

Firearms Equal Crazy Fun

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go out by Utah Lake and shoot some pretty sweet guns with my buddies. Our convoy consisted of myself, Adam, Stephen, Miles and his cousin Brian. The guns themselves were plentiful, and I can't remember all of them but there was a .45 Ruger pistol, SKS 7.62 mm Carbine, Beretta 12 gauge shotgun, and of course we had a couple of .22 rifles. There were a few others, but I can't remember the kind of sniper rifle Adam had. It kicked like crazy though. haha Anyway, it was crazy fun. We brought along a bunch of old dishes, Christmas ornaments, DVD players, and a computer monitor to destroy - bestowing us with much happiness. Good times. We must shoot more often! Oh and we also bought some Obama trading cards that didn't survive for very long...haha I don't get it. You'd never have seen George W. Bush trading cards that weren't making fun of him...It's a strange world we live in.

A Very Fun Night

Last Night Stephen, Mckade and myself were roaming around Herriman and found a speed limit sign that told you how fast you were going. I pulled over and suggested that we see how fast we could run, like on a recent episode of The Office. Haha we started running and our first speed was 15 mph. We all got up to 16 but never 17...as we were taking turns this guy drives up to us and says "That's the coolest thing I've ever seen, you guys just made my day." Then he sped off. At 32 mph. It was pretty awesome.
