I guess they called me on a mission…

SO for anyone that maybe had a shoddy phone connection, didn’t hear right, or for whatever reason forgot, I am indeed going to Portland, Oregon for my mission. The Oregon Portland Mission to be exact. So yeah, I’m pretty excited and stuff but I have to wait until September 17 to report. Not too long, not too short, but juuuuust right. So yeah, from the land where it never rains to the land where it never stops raining. Should be fun! And as a little treat to all you alls, here’s the picture I put on my application.

A Blog?

Hello ya’ll! I was thinking about starting up a blog of my own even though I’ll only be able to update it for a few months before the mish. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had some name suggestions for the website address or the blog in general. That’s kind of what’s holding me up, I’m trying to think of a good name cuz once it’s picked, it’s there man. So if anyone had some suggestions they’d be greatly appreciated. Have a nice day mi familia!

I’m Still Alive

For those of you that haven’t heard from me a while, I’m still alive. How are you? But anyways I’m still in school (haven’t dropped out….yet) and I am definitely ready for the Thanksgiving Break. School is going swell cuz I just got a 91 and 100% on my last two tests. So now I have some papers to write and stuff. But fortunately, Basketball season has started and BYU hasn’t lost yet so I can take a break from school to watch games and stuff. Nevertheless, I’m staying busy and stuff (sorry for all of the “and stuff”-s). Here’s some pictures of the Jack O’ Lantern I carved for Halloween. I did some of it at Josh’s house then I came home and put on the finishing touches. Oh yeah, and I’m stoked for the BYU-Utah football game this Saturday. Rah, rah, rah-rah-rah, goooooo Cougars!

PS- I’m working on putting up some of my animations I made in school last block of the semester. I’ll see what I can do there. And Happy Birthday to Josh and Melissa. Can’t wait for baby Elsie!
