This is from the MS walk that we did on Saturday. It was super fun!

A series of unfortunate events...actually just one.

Well, I'm sitting here in the Library at school just killing time until I really have to crack down and study for my Chemistry final tomorrow. I just got done turning in my business test. It was a take-home final and when we turned it in, he had us answer 10 questions in class to fulfill university requirements of being in class for the final. He let us work together, so I am feeling pretty confident about it. True/false tests have not grown on me thats for sure. I enjoy the fact that i get to work on the test using as many resources as possible, but I don't like how tricky the questions can be. Oh well. I'm done with that one. Two down, two to go. Then it's FREEDOM!!

I have a funny story about last night. After our softball game last night (which we won!) we went to eat at Rumbi by South Towne Mall. I was driving with my top down, and it was getting dark so I decided to put it back up. I did this and then went to turn off the car and I couldn't get it all the way shut off. I stopped the engine, but the ignition wouldn't rotate enough. It seemed like it was in the battery position. Oh, and I couldn't get it started again. This freaked me out because a very similar thing happened in Virginia. I was really nervous. I had to get back home to finish my test. I had to get to school before 9am for my final. I wouldn't have a way to get there. I didn't have money to tow it. I was nervous. Kyle finally came over and started fiddling with it. Then, after about five minutes of this drama, he reaches over and grabs my shifter and puts it in park. I had left the Emergency brake on from when I put the top up (while in drive appartently) and never took it off. Haha. It must be finals week or something...

Surprise...

This morning I had the joy of finding this cute little yellow paper attached to my windshield. I also found a little surprise on my wheel. Don't worry the guy was nice enough to take care of my problems for $50. What a nice guy. They are so lenient around here with parking. Especially when the person already has a parking permit, but forgets to put the top up on the convertable. Don't worry, they will still do this wonderful service even if you have a permit. They are also nice enough to say that there was nothing else they could do even though they knew that I was right. What a great company. I love Provo parking. I definitely will be sad to move out of here.....NOT!!!!

Studying Away!!

Well we are down to the "nitty gritty" as Nacho Libre would say. I have only done one semester, but I am so glad that its almost over!
This is my last week of classes, and I am pretty stressed at all I need to do before m the end of school, and finals. But thats college life. I am glad that I have already gone through this process before so that I kind of have a "heads-up" on what to expect.

I have been a bad poster as of late. Lots has happened.
We had a camping trip last weekend for my Elders Quorum, and it was really good despite all the stress that went into it. Lets just say that I am a Dutch Oven master!

This weekend I went up to Logan to visit Whitney, (and Logan too), and it was really good. I stayed Friday night with my him, and we went to a bonfire (a rather small and wimpy one I might add) We were there looking at the flames, when I looked over and saw my friend Aaron Taylor whom I hadn't seen since like middle school besides the occasional church ball game in high school. It was really fun to see him and catch up on what he has been up to. What are the odds.

I also signed my contract for my new apartment that I will be living in next semester, which is a big relief to get out of the way. I think that I will really like it there.

We also went to a stake conference there that was really good as well.

I am super happy about the Jazz game today. What a finish. My heart was pounding pretty hard.

I love that it was almost 80 degrees today.

We had our first softball game today, and it was really fun to just relax and play with no worries. I was rounding first base and I don't have cleats, so as soon as my foot touched the bag, it totally slipped out from under me and I fell on my face pretty much. It was funny.

Derek took this picture of me on Friday when I was waiting for a ride back to my apartment so I could start working. Luke is having me separate segments of a cedar wood slatted fence, so we can get them back to the farm to be used at his discretion. It was hard work, because it was a little tedious, and time consuming. It took me Thursday and Friday, but I still couldn't get it completely finished. I will have to go back this week.

Anyway, I am tired, and pretty much out of things to say. I am sorry for the lame recap of my life. Hopefully I can become more interesting.
Tchau

SVU is famous now!!

This video was rated number one in the Sportscenter "not top ten" countdown. As in the ten worst plays of the week. It was number one!! haha It comes from none other than my alma mater (except I didn't graduate from there obviously...) AKA Southern Virginia University. At least they got some national TV time, right? haha Enjoy.

Its been a while.

Well folks, I have been a slacker. What else is new. Oh well, I will use the excuse that I have been really busy. Thats generally acceptable.
Life has been really good lately. Things in general are going really well, and I am pleased with that.
Easter/General Conference was amazing. How cool is it that they fell on the same day? I really enjoyed it. I think having them on the same day helped me do better at celebrating the real reason for Easter; the Savior.
General Conference is always so invigorating. The way that the Spirit teaches us the things we need to be taught is always amazing to me. That is one of the coolest things about a mission, and gospel relating things in general. There were so many great talks. I loved President Eyring's talks both in the general session and the Priesthood session. He always speaks with such emotion, and conviction. President Uchtdorf also had some really great talks. I always enjoy hearing Elder Holland, and Elder Scott. The talk about the way missionaries are called, by Elder Rasband. I had already heard that story, but it is still fascinating the process of calling missionaries works. Look for it in the Ensign those of you that missed it.
Saturday night after the Priesthood session, I grabbed Whit and headed up to Salt Lake for my mission reunion. It was really good, and I am really glad that I got to go so I could see my president, and his wife as well as some mission friends that I had not seen since being home. There were quite a few there that I didn't know, and quite a few missing that I had wanted to see, but oh well. We all have our own schedules. It was so good to see them though. The first thing that Sister Asconavieta said was "Butterfly!!" Just as I had predicted :) It was really fun to talk to them and see how their English has improved haha. Really good.
Sunday conference was just grand as well, and in the afternoon Whit took me to her big family Easter candy hunt/dinner. It was really fun, and crazy. Whit and I took home a good load of candy, and there is still plenty of it. It was really fun to meet more people from her extended family. They all joked around with me and whatnot, but it was fine. It was good, I am glad I went.
School this week has been rough, but pretty busy which is good. I don't have the hardest schedule imaginable, so it was good to stay busy. I got my Art History test back and I got 90%. Not too shabby. I knew that I wouldn't do as well as my other, but I was still pleased. My professor said that it was the hardest test of the class, so that is a good sign. I really like that class. It is so interesting, the professor makes it good, and its not too hard. Lots of writing. But not too hard. It's not chemistry, thats for sure. (I hate that class by the way.)
Oh, Sunday in between sessions, I dashed to Salt Lake and met up with a Brazilian missionary serving in the Ogden Utah mission. I served in his ward on my mission and knew him well. So it was really fun to see him. I also saw a different mission friend there, as well as my old Virginia roommate Adam. I have seen him now at two consecutive conferences, so we said "see ya in six months!" It was funny.
Well, I am tired from playing some ultimate frisbee, (and from being up late...) so I am going to bed.
Hope that this sufficed as an update of my life as of late.
If not, too bad.
