I know it has been a while! i have done alot since the last post as well! it truly has been the best summer of my life! I really needed it to help me figure out what it is that I want to do, I have been working on my application to Utah State, I love it there and other then BYU it is my top choice i have always wanted to go there, so we will see what happens as to whether or not I get in, if not then I guess i really will try to go to byu-i (YUCK) I have had a lot weigh on my mind lately and as I ponder things and study it out and pray about them I am not sure I know how to get an answer anymore, as we are taught we will have a burning in our boosom and feel good about it and if it not be right then we will have a stupor of thought! well when does it come? I thought I felt good about something like really good and worked hard for, and felt worthy of an answer and i felt good about it but then it turned out to be the exact opposite! and now I completely avoid it, i guess i just don't understand how we are supposed to make such important decisions in our lives if it doesn't matter that much! when i was about to come home from my mission I was writing my dad about school and trucks, and jobs and he told me that the lord does not have a set plan for us but that he will help us in our decisions for instance it does not matter where we go to school as long as we obtain a good education, and of course he had to bring in girls in the convo saying that it does not matter which of his daughters we marry as long as we do it, except in rare cases! well how do u know if a decision is right? u feel good right? there was no stupor of thought, so doesn't that mean i have my answer? Remember how I posted that I felt like I was bowling and set up all my pins only to have someone come and knock them all down? I am so tired of other bowlers! I WANT MY TURN! haha

KJ, you crack me up... I think it's your turn, too! ;) In my experience, sometimes when I make the right decision there is no burning knowledge that I am doing the right thing, but just a quiet calm and sometimes it's hard to recognize that I already have my answer! But when something isn't the right decision for me, I always have a nervous uncomfortable feeling that doesn't go away until I realize that I'm about to make a mistake. I think your dad is right, and I know that Heavenly Father is on your side. Don't worry, you're a great person and you'll be blessed in life for the good decisions that you've made. Have fun working in harvest, I know we won't be seeing you for a while! :)

KJ, sometimes we have those times so that we can learn something from it! It is the right decision if you learn the lesson you are suppose to learn! Your turn will come, you just need to keep looking for what you need and sometimes we have to remeber everything is in the lords time not ours! I don't know how much that helps but, keep your chin up and all will be good!

WOW! What a week! Starting off with girls in bikinis ( can't get a better start then that haha) out on the water, I was able to go wakeboarding for the first time since before my mission and it was a blast if you haven't yet noticed it is my ultimate favorite thing to do. I was really rusty but still had a great time, did I mention there was girls in bikinis? The next night we decided to have a guys night out and went and saw Iron Man in the cheap theatre and you know what? I was really impressed with that movie I thought it would be lame but it was really good. On the 3rd of July Rigby holds there annual fireworks show out at the lake so my friend Ryan and I went about 3:00 to save spots for our friends, we set up a volleyball net and played sand v-ball and had a bar-b-que we ended up having about 15 people or so show up to play but to watch fireworks it was only a few of us, I had my cousin Kamille come and she had been talking to me about this girl that I should take out and

Check it!! I am a blogger too I guess!! when you get bored the best way to pass time is to talk about your favorite subject and haha guess what! mine is me! haha I know all of my family is always wanting to know what is going on in my life especially since I am not a big sharer on certain subjects but maybe this will be a better way for ya'll to get to know me. I served a mission in Arcadia California and it has been almost 2 years since I was there. Since coming home my life has been so different, I was so involved before the mission in clubs and athletics and was kinda the big guy on campus and now it is just work to fulfill my vain ambitions until I can come up with a plan that will pan out. I almost feel like I am bowling and when I get my pins all set up some one else comes and knocks them all down and I have to go set them up all over again, I think I have had to set them up at least 4 or 5 times since coming back, but so far haven't been able to throw the dang ball!! I

O life on a farm is kinda laid back ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack! I have spent the last couple months doing something that I absolutely love! Harvest! haha There is just something that has always drawn me to agriculture, especially tractors, I don't know if it is because I grew up collecting the little ERTL toys with my father or the fact that I remember spending time in the tractor with him and in the truck with my mother or what, but I have always enjoyed being around it! I worked for M&M Farms which is partnered with Thompson Farms and I have become pretty good friends with them and they treat me very well! I pretty much did everything there from mechanic work to driving semi and the tractor. Because I went south to farm I was able to see my Grandpa hauling into the same places and that was always fun to be able to talk with him as we waited to unload.The weather was so good this year, we started a week late and ended a week early, which is great
