Last Week and the Week before Catch Up Post:

Sheri and Lindsey came up around General Conference. Sheri was nice enough to bring some some things from home I didn't think I would need or forgot. I definitely used the windbreaker that night, THANK YOU Sheri. While she was here she treated us to Tucanos (A Brazilian Grill.) It was delicious, especially the carmel covered deep fried bananas! I also got to see Lindsey's premier of One Good Man. I would just like to let the world know that she is amazing and everyone who can should go and see this movie. It was fun to see her in the film. Oh, funny connection to the movie, I totally recognized the shirt she was wearing in one of the school photos they showed of her, I wore that same shirt, I might even have had a school photo in in! Yeah for neighbors with good taste!

Okay, so this event was a little bit ago, October 7, but here is a picture of us at the Premier:

My Ward had a temple trip at 2:00 last Friday (October 9th) but I couldn't make it, but some friends invited me to go with them on Saturday. Their plan was to go at 7:00 am, but luckily they went later, and so I was able to go with them. It takes about 30-35 minutes to walk there, not to bad, other than I wear new shoes and ended up getting 2 bad blisters, one on the back of each foot. Sadly, one popped by the time we got there. When we finally arrived we took some pictures and then went inside and did Baptisms for the Dead. It felt good doing service -even more so than having an opportunity to take my shoes off. I think we left some time around 3:00 (can't quite remember) and got home at about 6:30 (just after the Cannon Center Closes, that I do remember!) It was really an overall enjoyable experience, even if I did walk nearly the entire trip back in bare feet. The grounds were beautiful, and just reading and pondering while sitting and waiting our turn was very peaceful.

Here, we're getting a bit more recent:

This was some of last nights fun. We started off playing pool, in which my team won 3 times in a row. We then played with the shutter speed and a flashlight outside, and afterwards went and watched Ice Age 3 in the Dollar theater and grabbed some Hot Chocolate (which spilled all over just my pants while the car was turning.) I then studied for for Human Development for a while, went to sleep and set my alarm to wake up and study before the volunteer activity to play with kids with down syndrome today. I did so, so on my Test.

Very recent!:
Well, that's all for now!

I Know the Moon is out there...Somewhere?

TO: Jared and Amanda

You probably were curious why you got an iChat message asking you if you could see the moon. Well, truth is I couldn't find it. It is as simple as that. You would think something that big, round, a commonly seen would be easy to find, but then you would be wrong. I will not write how long I looked, but just know that I had to. As with all thing, when you are looking for it you can't find it. But then I discovered where it went. Mom, Dad and Caity had robbed it in the night.

I have to chart the position of the Moon for my "favorite" class for a two week period, with only 3 days excused for cloudiness or else I would have to start over. Yesterday it was cloudy and so I couldn't see it. Today the skies are for the most part clear and so I thought I could find it easily... oh how wrong I was.

TO: Mi Familia

Thanks for the iChat, and I would like to inform you that I have stolen the moon back and intend to keep it... ie. I found it! look here! it's proof!!!!

Can you see it? HINT: Its the big bright sphere above the mountains :)

It's has been awhile so...

Since my late update (which Jared would say would be a lifetime ago) A lot has happened. Today was the last day of boot camp! Hurray, I survived! Before I get to know if I made it our not I have to take the QUAD test on Thursday. This consists of the standing long jump, triple jump, 30m dash and the shot-put throw. My goal is to get 125-130 pts. to make the team, or at least beat my start of boot camp mark which came to a total close of about 102. Hopefully after a month of running, strength training, more running and hard work and practice, and oh yah, more running I can prove I can do it. But if not, I feel accomplished at surviving Boot Camp, something I wasn't sure I could do at the start. And I had "fun" on the way... that is if your definition consists of feeling good after accomplishing hard work and dressing up silly for friday weight training workouts. Here are some team pictures of our fun:

Bootie Show! (Sep.18)

"Hair" Day! (Sep.25)Football Day! (In honor of todays BYU vs. Utah Game-Oct. 1)What can you do for a fun get to know you activity on your day off? How about take a hike on a Saturday morning up to Steward falls! This is most defiantly a track team when our idea of a day off is hiking up a mountain. But is it not pretty? It has lots cool views of other mountains, and the leaves had already changed color so it was an especially beautiful sight. (Sep 19)One of the cool things I got to do because I am with the track team is go to the "Y" games. Basically this is a completion to see what team can attend the most "Y" games of all the different sports. The idea is to unify the athletic department by getting athletes to support other athletes. It was pretty cool. The football game vs. Colorado was this years football "Y" game. First there was a BBQ and then we all got to go out onto the field and be I got to be out apart of the tunnel as the players ran out. I also got to take a picture with Cosmo, the school mascot. It was hot, I sat up in the north stands for this game with some friends on the track team. Here are some pictures from this experience: (Sep. 26)

Other cool things I have done since my last update is go to True Blue, an event sponsored by BYUSA. (Sep. 23) It was pretty fun sliding down and playing in a massive pit of blue foam. I will have to post pictures of that event later because right now no one has posted these pictures on facebook, and I don't have my cord to download pictures... not that it would help for this even because I forgot it :(

Well, Jared I hope this mass amount of pictures and update satisfy. Until next time...
