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!

Tired of bowling, huh? That made me laugh. I remember feeling that way...well a little different because you are a guy....butsame concept. Just don't give up! Answers eventually come, usually when we are not seeking them.

Wow! I totally forgot I even had a blog! (sorry Melissa ) the last little while has been so crazy, I got a new job working for Briggs Built Metal, I am the Dispatcher for deliveries and things, I take care of the trucks and trailers but mostly I just drive around in my big Duramax . I keep trying to talk my boss into getting me a Powerstroke but we'll see! I love it actually I work with my best friend and a couple other friends as well so it is a blast! I have done a lot of traveling the last couple weeks as well, my buddy Lane and I went to Calgary, AB, Canada to visit his sister, I have never been to Canada before so we had a lot of fun despite our 6 hour detour to Billings, MT, whoops! We then came back and it was straight to Logan for thanksgiving, and I spent a couple extra days with Shelby and Ashton! (I Love them!) I forgot to mention that my lil bro Pogy came home in between those 2 trips, and it has been fun to have him back again, we are always boxing and wrestling!...

Looks like my Blogging life has taken quite the hit! eh? haha well I think it is about time to go ahead and update it and share a bit of what has been goin on! Mostly just work and going through the motions, I work for Briggs Built Metal, I was hired as a delivery guy but as time keeps goin by I have become the "all around guy" I bend metal, remodel, office work, and they have actually just made me a salesman and that is prolly my favorite one! I love going out and talking with potential customers and just getting to know people! So if anyone needs any metal roofing or siding hit me up! we go everywhere! The past few weeks have been pretty cool tho, I think I have been down to Utah 3 of the last 4 weeks, I had a mission reunion one week and it was great to see some old friends and both of my mission presidents. The next week I went down to Salt Lake to go to the annual Jazz game, it was against the Golden State Warriors which turned out to be a disappointment as they lost ( a...

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 ...
