I’ve been tagged

No apologies, I just haven’t blogged in a while so deal with it.


20 years ago I was seven years old, I think I was in kindergarten with my still best friend Matt Wood. I had Mrs. Miner fourty-niner and he had Mrs. Martinez. During recess he and I would roam the play ground protecting people and breaking up fights. The great memory of this part of my life is when Matt noticed some sixth graders getting in a fight. So he dragged me over, and some how we broke up the fight. It was probably something akin to the scene in “To Kill a Mocking Bird” when the mob comes to get the black guy out of jail and scout shows up so they don’t have the heart for it anymore.

10 years ago I was seventeen in my junior year of highschool. Until getting married and with the exception of my mission this was possibly the best year of my life. I was captain of the Mens Club volleyball team with my best friends, I was in Accappella with my best friends I was in a group called the Peer Leadership Team. I was in a seminary committee, I got to spend plenty of time with my family. Life was pretty dang awesome.

5 years ago I was 22 and I can’t for the life of me remember exactly what was going on. I think I was living at home, than at Jamies, and then at Jesse’s. If that is all true than my parents left for their mission, and I gotta meet Elder Hales.

3 years ago I must’ve been finishing up my second semester at Utah State. I went up there to be with my buddy Matt and his brother Josh. I played on the volleyball club team up there, it was a new experience. I had fun up there though. But then I came home and met Amy so there you go.

So far this year, I turned 27, sold a car, cleaned roughly 108 toilets, transfered to UVSC, received a call from my yougnest sister telling me she’s engaged, found out my wife is pregnant, and spent lots and lots of time with my wife and daughter.

Yesterday I got up at six to clean the center, I helped baby sit the Mongies, I went to school, I got a migrane, and picked up some taco bell because of my migrane and amy was sick so we both didn’t want to cook.

today I got up at six to go clean the center, returned home to help take care of Jo and continue baby sitting, I went to school and came home, and now I too am looking forward to cuddling with amy and watching the man in the iron mask.

Tomorrow I will get up at six to clean the center, then I will return home to help babysit and watch the jo, then I will go to school, come home and help babysit (man my life is really monotonous)

This year I hope to get more schooling under my belt, finish one of my books, see my youngest sister get married, see my new baby boy or girl, watch the new indiana jones, build more awesome things out of legos, be a great husband and a stellar father.
