My Poem

Well I decided to write a poem for Jordan. We've been dating for a while now, so I decided to bust out my poem moves and see what I could come up with. I liked it. Though I would share it with the blog.

The Last Five Months

The Last Five Months have been the greatest of them all,

Because of a girl whom everyone though was kinda tall.

Not tall for me, unless she wear stilletos,

But she won’t wear those, cause she’s not from the ghettos.

It’s a girl named Jordan who I met up in Rexy,

And Dang I must point out, that she is pretty sexy.

But its not just looks with her beautiful brown hair,

Its her compassionate love, and that she always seems to care.

She hated me at first, because for some reason I was cocky,

I guess I talked about myself like I was some star like Rocky.

Rocky the Boxer, and not Rocky the sweetest ninja ever,

I love her sense of music, which helps her be Miss Clever.

She’s wanted, she’s hot, she’s everything I’m not,

Which will help me in the end, so that I don’t rot.

I love her so much, she always brightens up my day,

Who would want that, oh, I know, someone that’s gay?

Gay as in fag, not gay as in happy,

Because if I was gay, Jordan would give me a slappy.

She keeps me in line and will always make me better,

And when she gets really cold she wears my big sweater.

I like it like that, then I smell her all night,

To ask for that forever, I think I just might?

So when would Jordan and I fall for each other,

I think its already happened, but don’t tell her brother.

I love you so much, thanks for the last five months of your time,

If your by my side forever, I promise you’ll never whine.

From April to August

Sorry Guys, I know I am bad at this. I keep putting it off and putting it off and well....I can't put it off any longer I guess. As you can see it is August now. I am back at home for the first time since returning from my mission in 2007, so it is a little different adjustment, but it is getting better.

First of all, School has been really good to me. I came out with some good grades this last semester, and feel that I am planned to graduate around Fall of 2011. Which doesn't seem that far away after I have realized how fast the two years that I have been home have gone. It seems like the older I get, the faster life gets moving. But I am grateful every step of the way for the experiences that I have been able to have at BYU-Idaho, and thank the many tithing donors that make the college experience cheaper and literally make it happen.


Second, my cousin Ashley was married this past weekend. It was neat to be in her sealing room and feel the spirit from the Sealer sealing them for Time and All Eternity. They are two people who are meant to be together that's for sure. A little forgetful at times, especially during crunch times, and for the sake of them I won't mention ANY of the MANY things they forgot that day, but they made it happen, and I am happy for them.



Third, I am dating a girl as well. We have been dating for about three months, and her name is Jordan. She is from Pocatello and is just a little "burst of sunshine" in everyone's life. I think the more I date the more I realize what I want and things are going well. She is going into Exercise Science and wants to be a PA (Physician's Assistant) so she is a great student trying to get into the PA Program they have down at ISU. I am grateful for her and how she helps me be a better person each day, what more could a guy ask for right?

Fourth, for those of you who don't know, my parents split up about a month ago. It has been very different and something we wish wouldn't have happened, but it has given me a whole new perspective on love, and I am so grateful for each of them and what they have done for me in my life, and the great examples they have been to me. We all go through trials, some are tougher than others, but I know that's why we are here. I couldn't ask for better parents to guide me through life's journeys and I love each of them very much. I know what I need to do to complete that journey as well. The Lord is in control in everything I do, and I am grateful for his love as well as the sacrifice made by our Savior Jesus Christ. Only through him can we return to live in the presence of him.

Totally love life right now. My brother is now home from his mission and it has been very enjoyable for him and I to hangout together like old times. We were able to go to the Temple with my cousin during her sealing this weekend, and the spirit was so strong there. I haven't felt the spirit that strong since I was on my mission.

Seriously loving life and I am really starting to realize what is important in life these days, and it boils down to one thing: Family.


This is Danielle's Daughter Ellie. She is so spoiled as a baby, but aren't all the oldest spoiled at first? haha. She is so fun when she is happy, but it's awesome to be her uncle, because once she starts crying, we just give her to her mom or dad. haha.

A Semester Full of Championship Victories

I know, I know. I'm horrible at this. Forgive me please.

This is the last picture we took as a family. Well...an FHE Family that is. We had a good time with our FHE sisters this year, and we had some good memories that will last for a longtime.



Well Winter Semester has ended two weeks ago, and now, it's all about Summer Semester. Just to recap a few victories and priceless moments that i enjoyed during Winter Semester.

Number One:
This is The BYU-Idaho Wildcats. We took the Championship for the Winter in the Intramural League up here. This is right after winning the title. We won by 20 in the final game. It was a great game.

The game we played the night before was more of a Championship Game. We won by 3. We were up 8 with 3 minutes to play in the Semi's and I fouled out and our other point guard fouled out. So we were kind of nervous with no ball-handler in there, but we pulled it out.
Our Coach isn't as hardcore as he looks. He got rocked in his playoff game the night before and had to get stitches. So for that he is wearing a patch above his eye. Sweet victory #1.


(this is a video of the introduction)



NUMBER TWO:

University of North Carolina. A team picked to win the championship before the season started, and they had a few let downs during the season, but picked it up where it matters. UNC beat Michigan State in the Title Game by a similar margin of victory. They might have 3 underclassmen (who aren't seniors) leave early to go to the NBA. But they have a good recruiting class coming in. It will be interesting to see if they pull it out in the end.

Dont worry, that championship shirt that they are wearing right there, yeah, I bought it. $18.00 and free shipping. I couldn't turn it down. I might be the only one rocking it on BYU-Idaho's campus, but I will rock it with pride. haha.

Number Three:

Number three, or better said, number 23 (Lebron James) is still in the making. The NBA Playoffs start today and Lebron and company are looking good. But now it doesn't matter what you have done in the season, it's all about showing up at the right time in the Playoffs. They went 39-2 at home, almost tying the record set by the Boston Celtics team of Greats, (Ainge, Johnson, McHale and who can forget, Bird). Things are shaping up well in Cleveland. But its gonna be a challenge. They say three is a crowd, not here, three victories by three of my favorite teams would be DELIGHTFUL.

Baby Ellie's Big Day

Well I'm an Uncle. It's Official. Today was the blessing of Ellie Lynae Thompson in Idaho Falls. This is just one of the pictures of this adorable little girl. I wish I could take her home sometimes and just not have to worry about when she has poopy diapers or is hungry or fussy; and I could totally handle her. haha.

But it's amazing to see the change in the enviorment that this little baby has brought to my family as well as my sister and her husband. It strengthens everyones testimony that we really did live somewhere before we lived here on the Earth. I remember teaching a few people right after they had their babies in Guatemala and it definitely gives people a whole new perspective on life and what is really important. The TV and everything else makes us feel that worldly things are more important, but sometimes these babies are sent here to teach us a little lesson on humility. To let us take a step back and realize what is REALLY important in life.

They had some sweet professional photos that people did for them and they have her sitting in this cup with a little flower on top. I tried to find it but they don't have it at the moment. One day i will get it up here.

But it's official. Ellie Lynae has been blessed, but more so is blessings the lives of all those who are around her.

A New Semester....A New Life

For those of you who are still following my blog, and are disappointed that I haven't updated it lately, here you go.

A lot of things have changed. Back to the single life for me. I've guess I've learned my lesson in a way about dating younger girls. We just don't have that much in common. Obviously I can't expect anyone to be perfect until I am perfect myself, (and we all know that is never going to happen haha) but the necessities of a relationship weren't there. It's for the better and life moves on.

As far as school I am on my break until April. I am on the summer/fall track right now here at BYU-Idaho, meaning I study from April to December. There is a short 7-week break that we have during that time, but money is tight right now that's for sure. It's getting hard to pay for everything this year, so I think I might take off the summer semester off and work to get some more money. I feel pretty good about life right now. I'm basically on my own, Gary and Renae are doing great helping me out when they can. They are still paying for my insurance which is nice. Otherwise I would have to fork over another $250 for insurance through the school.

I'm in the 3rd year of school. I figure I will test out of Spanish this winter which will give me 12 credits. Another blessing of serving in a Spanish speaking mission. I am just starting to get into my major, which is Communications. I am going to focus in Marketing, and eventually have plans to get down to Glendale, Arizona to a school called Thunderbird, which is an international business school. I hope to be able to do International Marketing and use my Spanish.

Currently I am still employed at Melaleuca. It is treating me well. Love speaking to the Spanish customers. Sometimes they make me a little baggy or "trunky" for the mission again. But I think everyone has those nostalgic feelings from time to time.

Love the gospel. Love my ward. Things are just going great now. I guess you could say i just need a girl to complete it. I'm not worried. I will find one. I got my missionary out still, she has about 6 months now. I can't believe Glen will be home in June. That's 4 1/2 months from now. CARAZY! It will be 4 years unless you include those 15 minutes in the MTC.

Well I hope this was a great update. I will get better. Definitely one of my New Year's Resolutions. Take Care. Set some goals this year and let's accomplish those little buggers. Miss you all. Update me please. haha.


Did I mention I dominate on the Wii?
