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.
