A Texas Spider-man Christmas

Merry late Christmas to ya'll... or I mean everybody. I hope everybody had as great a Christmas as I did. I didn't get what I wanted most though and that was going back to Utah but Santa did leave me a lot of Spider-man goodies. :) Okay so first of all I think this was my first Christmas ever that it was 60 degrees during the day. It was crazy my dad was outside grilling steaks for dinner on Christmas!!! In Shorts!!!! I miss the snow so much and I am having skiing withdrawals. So let me tell you about all the Spider-man stuff I got!!!!!

I got the Spider-man Web of Shadows Video game which is pretty darn cool.

My sisters gave me this gift and I think it is the best gift ever!!! It is the last twenty years of Spider-man Comics on CD. Over 250 Comics on my computer!!!! My mind almost blew when I got it.

This one Amanda my friend gave to me. Sorry for the blurry pic but she gave me a hologram picture of Spider-man. It is awesome and he moves across the pic when you look at it differently.

I got a big fat Spider-man pen and it is totally sweet!!!!

What would Christmas be without a Spider-man Bouncy Ball?

I got Spider-man Vitamins from Santa to help me stay healthy!!!!

I got Go Spidey and Spider Eights (Go fish and Crazy Eights)

I got ten Spider-man Thank you cards so that I can thank everybody!!!!

Brooke one of my friends gave me a Spider-man Card that had this awesome maze inside!!!

The Garlicks (You may remember Nate Garlick who is my friend.) Got me this Spider-man Balloon that is totally awesome!!!!

Sorry if my gifts make you totally jealous but that's what happens when you love Spider-man as much as me. Don't worry I got other stuff for Christmas also not just Spider-man collectibles. I am not a total freak nerd. Miss you guys soooooo much!!!!
Oh and by the way a girl in English class started to call me Co Co and then the whole class started calling me that. None of you got that on the poll. I know I know Sexy Beast was just too tempting of an answer. ;-)

What the Heck is This White Stuff?!

Okay so it like freaking snowed here!!!!! It hasn't snowed here from what I know in like fifteen years. People have lived here their whole lives and never seen snow. Well I think that I brought the snow down here with me because we got like a legit inch or two of snow for one day!!! It happened to be on Wednesday night which is mutual night for us (for church). So we had a huge snowball fight and a snowman building contest. Well me being from Utah I came prepared with thermals on under my PJ pants. A real snow coat and skiing gloves. I wasted in the snowball fight. Then we played a white elephant game and I got something really gay like I always do. lol It was a ton of fun. Hope you guys enjoy the snow there because it is totally melted now and I probably won't see it again. Miss you guys so much. Don't forget to vote on the new pole. If you people think I can marry someone like Taylor Swift you got another thing coming because man I could not handle her singing country songs all day long. :)

OMG ITS SNOW!!!!!

Me and Patrick playing the white elephant game.

Katie, Patrick, Nate, and me. Yes I do look retarded in that picture and pretty much every picture.

The other team's snowman We totally kicked their buts.

My team's snowman. I was like the only one who knew to wear gloves or probably had gloves to bring to a snowball fight!!!!

Quirky Things

Okay so here is that chain thingy that has been going around with the quirks. Before I do that though I want to open with a joke. Now Kristie did tell me this joke so I must give kudos to her.
Why couldn't the boy from Provo go to the Bathroom? Because all the Hall passes had been intercepted.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA okay I am done lol.


Quirk #1
I am completely and absolutely obsessed with the UTAH UTES!! I bleed red (wait everybody does) and wear red all the time. People in school say they only see me in red and nothing else.

Quirk #2
I don't like wearing jeans. Call me crazy but I don't find them comfortable and like shorts preferably basketball shorts.

Quirk #3
I have the ability to sense any Spider-man merchandise and have the uncontrollable desire to buy it no matter how much or how lame it is. I call it my Spider Sense.

Quirk #4
I have a tendency to kinda freak out when I play video games or any kind of competition game and get really into it. I tend to pop my jaw, jump up and down, yell, and ya basically freak out.

Quirk #5
Whenever I play the piano or play my bone (trombone) I really get into it apparently and move with the music and saw and sorta dance in my seat I guess.

Quirk #6
I am a really bad dancer but whenever a song that I know comes on I have the uncontrollable urge to start dancing and if the songs vocals are high pitched I sing them also. The people around me love that.

Quirk #7
My last quirk is a incurable disease that plagues hundreds every day. It is called majorfanitis, whenever I see a person with a BYU shirt on or and BYU paraphernalia I always check to see if I have a Utah shirt on and am disappointed if I don't. I let all BYU fans know who is boss, (the Utes) and have the urge to always display my love for the Utes. So next time I smack talk just know that I am holding in a lot more and am fighting a good fight. :)

I miss you guys a ton!!!!!! Special shout out to My Favorite and My Cowgirl. You know who you are ;) Miss the rest of you!!! Love you too Matt, good job Ali and Morganne and the soccer tourny, still planning on our trip Morganne. ;) Lol who did I forget? Post if I forgot to shout you out. Also check out the poll. ;)

Made me Smile

Hey this picture just made my day and was given to me by my seminary teacher. GO UTES!!!!

Guess what happened?

UTAH FREAKEN WON!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE THAT YOU LITTE BYU WUSSYS!!!!! RAWR I AM A LITTLE KITTY RAWR FEAR MY COUGAR RAGE!!!! OH NO THE UTE BRAVE IS HERE AND HE JUST KICKED MY TRASH!!!! Well I don't know about you but I think that the Utah MVP of the game was Hall. He just kept on throwing so many good passes to the Utes that I thought he was on our team. Some QBs just can't handle the pressure as we have seen in the past with BYU Quater Backs. Like the QB who cried because they lost a game. Ohhh poor little baby!!!! GO UTES!!!! Miss ya guys! Wish I was there to celebrate or gloat over. :) BCS BABY HERE WE COME!

Here are some game facts
-Brian Johnson threw for 303 yards and 4 touchdowns
-BYU had six turnovers five of which were interceptions thrown by Max Hall
-Max Hall threw 204 yards with no touchdown passes
-Max Hall had a personal foul that cost them 15 yards. (control that Mormon boy guys)
-BYU was never ahead of Utah that entire game.
-The final score was 48 24 Utah doubleing BYU's score

Hope you guys know that I love ya still if you wear blue, I just think you look better in red. :) It was an awesome game and I will admit was scared when BYU got close, but when Utah scored at the end of the half I knew the game was ours. I look forward to next year and until then I will be entitled to bragging rites and be using them. Smack talk you later. :)

Yet another Touchdown is about to be thrown.

What Max Hall it thinking-Whats Happening? Is he taking the ball away? OH no not another turn over.

The Holy War Begins.....

Its here everybody its here. Utah is going to finally be able to kick BYU's little but all the way back to Rice Eccles South... oops I mean Provo. Now me being the only Utah fan in my ward no make that the only Mormon Utah fan in College Station I have been giving my share of smack talk. Now Utah is ranked number 7 and is undefeated, BYU is some dumb number way up there and has lost against TCU because their defense just pretty much sucks. Okay Okay I am done with my BYU smack talk....... BYU SUCKS!!!!! Okay now I am done. So what has been going on in my life?...... Hm well band is finally over we lost our last football game so it is finally over!!! Let me tell you also it is getting pretty cold here!! At the football game we actually hit the 30s!!!! I know 36 was the low!! (sarcasm) They passed out hand warmers at the game for the band no joke. Hand warmers for 36 degree weather? I have been much colder I was laughing at everybody that was freezing and I haven't even gotten goosebumps yet. They would just yell at me to shut up because I was from Utah. :) I hear you guys have snow, I miss that sooo much! I miss you all soooo much!!! I wear shorts still because it isn't cold every morning Nate is driving with a blanket over him because it is 40 degrees and it is the coldest thing ever. I have seen people in snow coats in 40 degree weather. I serously thought a blizzard was coming through the way people pack down here. I guess I am just still use to Utah weather. Well I have to go to bed now just got done with a but load of homework. Miss you all so much!!
P.S. If you didn't see the poll over to the right yes you guys guessed right I don't have a girlfriend and I never will probably until collage. :) Be sure to vote on the new poll.

It's over!!! Finally over!!!

So it is all over now, complete, end of story, all finished, period. Band is over!!!! We went to competition and lost. Everybody was so sad because that means we don't go on!!! Oh no the awfulness!!! No more practices, no more Saturdays gone because of band, no more not having a life!!!! What will we do? Ha ha so everybody was sad except for me. I was a little pissed though because of how much time I would put into band (around 20 hours a week) and then not to make it... Oh well I was sitting with the color guard (who are all girls) when they announced when we didn't make it. They all started to cry so I decided to do the hard thing and give them all hugs and comfort them. I know, I know I do too much but hey that's what makes me so nice. :) So now with all this time on my hands I really don't know what to do! I don't have practices or anything or anything!!! So I invited Patrick over last night to watch Better Of Dead. My favorite comedy in the whole world. I drank 2 liters of Mountain Dew and was off the walls and so was Patrick, and I think we officially creeped out my sisters. Oh well what can you do!!! What else has happened? Well I broke up with Cori and am now a free man again. I realize that just having a girlfriend isn't for me at all. I am much too big of a flirt. :) Oh and I got my braces off finally!!! Man isn't it going to be a big surprise for you back in Utah to see me without my braces!!! Well that's about it. A short post today, thanks for reading. Miss you guys soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!

Homecoming a.k.a. Lots of Pictures

Yay!! Homecoming finally happened. Let me tell you all about it. First we had a Marching Band Competition that day which really sucked so we got back at four and were planning to meet at 6. So that left Cori (my date) two hours to get ready which for a girl is like no time at all.



Me and my Patrick at the competition. Yes our uniforms are dumb thank you very much.





So we all meet at a lake near my house to take pictures here are a but load of them.


Okay so left to right: Me and Cori, Ryan and Kathrine, Matt and Reagen, Nate and Aliece, Cody and Katie, Aron and Sarah, and Tyler and Amanda. (All of us are Mormon except for Aron who is Sarah's boyfriend.)



Okay so yall are probably wondering what those big huge things the girls are carrying and that the guys are wearing on their arms. Well those are called mums (what the girls are carrying) and garters (what the guys have). A weird Texas tradition wear you the guys make mums and the girls garters for their date to wear. Well it is really dumb because you wear them for pictures and then throw them in the car and never take them out again. They have little things on it thought that are for you like Cori put Spiderman things on it (she knows the way to get to my heart) and I put some band things on it for Cori. Only thing is that I didn't make mine I bought it from Kroger's. Guess how much it cost me? $75!!!!! For something she is never going to take out again or do anything with? I thought it was a waste. In fact Aron and Sarah didn't do them which was smart. Oh and all the guys did plan on wearing black shirts. Just in case you thought we just showed up in black shirts. Nate's date flew in from New Jersey. That's right he has a "girlfriend" in New Jersey and she flew down here to go to homecoming with Nate. Man I would love it if a girl did that for me (hint hint) jk jk. I love ya guys. Now here are some pictures of me and my beautiful date. :)


So after we spent forever taking pictures we had a progressive dinner. We went to Nate's house for drinks (Not alcohol don't worry) then to Katie's house for appetisers. Then to my house for the main course. Here are some pics from my house.



So after that we went to the dance. Me and Cori carpooled with Tyler and Amanda we had a blast as you can tell from this picture. (Yes I am trying to be gangster from the back seat... it isn't really working is it?)

So we stayed at the dance for about forty five min. then left. We just go there to dance to one slow song because well their is a lot of lets say dirty dancing. Not the kind from the movie Dirty Dancing either.
After the dance we went to Cori's house for desert and then we went back to Katie's house for final goodbyes then I took Cori home.
It was such a fun evening and just awesome!!!
Don't Forget to vote on who is the cutest couple!!!!

Midnight Yell, Football game, and so much more...

Okay so first I am sorry for like not posting forever. My life is crazy because our first term thingy ends next week. But I will tell ya a bit about last weekend.

Okay so first I hung out with my girlfriend Cori, Amanda and Tyler (who are a couple), and Mat and Heidi (who aren't a couple). We all went to the midnight yell. The midnight yell is like a huge pep rally for the A&M game that happens at midnight. We practice cheers the band plays and is

a bunch of fun. Here are some pics...

Here Cori is the A Amanda is the T and Heidi is the M making.... aTm or Texas A&M.

We are in front of a building doing who knows what.

Here is Cori and me in the Back Heidi on the left and Mat on the right.

Okay so that is enough of the midnight yell. Now to the game. I took Patrick (dreamy eyes... that is just for you Matt) with me to the game. We were beaten horrible by Miami which sucked. Our seats suck even worse. I swear I must have the fattest man ever that sits next to me. I mean holy crap please at least buy two seats!!! At Kyle field all the seats are benches. Their are no single seats. When I get to the game this very large man has his leg in my seat and his leg is like twice of me. The whole row then has to squish and mash to fit in. It is bad. Other that that it was fun.

Looking out at College Station..... WHERE ARE THE MOUNTAINS!??

Here's a picture of Nate Garlick the one I always talk about and that drives me everywhere. His car is like my second home. He is a way cool dude. Still love you guys in Utah still don't you worry.

This picture is just for Morganne and Matt!! Yes I do have a girlfriend and she is real thank you very much!!! I snapped this picture of her without her knowing lol. Ha go vote now on the poll!!!!

Hurricane! The Aftermath!

Okay so the Hurricane wasn't that bad and I am okay.(because I know all of you couldn't bear to lose me!! I am just soooo important.) When Ike (the hurricane) hit the coast it went down to a category one and then a tropical storm. It also went more north and we got only the back end of it. I went out and played in it but it was just a really bad storm with a lot of rain. I did get school canceled though and only had sacrament meeting today because of the refugees staying in the church and in the school. We do have school tomorrow sadly which is a bummer. Some people did have their fences knocked down and pieces of trees were everywhere. I was hoping it to be a huge storm and to go out and like fly away the wind was so strong. What a letdown. :) Well the post is short today keep on reading and become a follower of my blog. Just look to the right and click on the words that say "become a follower" Thanks for reading. :)

Oh and on the poll..... why is their 8 votes in Eh.. par for the course? I would think that you guys would have just a little more faith in me.

Hurricane

So I am sitting here in school during BIMM (Business Imaging Marketing Management) and really bored and figuring why not post on my blog!!!! So the hurricane is going to hit College Station and the power could be out all Sunday Saturday and Friday so I figured that I better post to you guys now while I have the chance. People say it is crazy and that it is nothing compared to anything I have been in. 100 mph winds in my front yard... ya it is going to be fun!! I will video me playing in the hurricane for you guys. We won't have school tomorrow because our school becomes a refugee center for people from the coast. We can't go to school with all these people trying to live in our school. :) Also seminary is canceled because our church is also a refugee center. Which means I get to sleep in tomorrow!!!!! :) The football game was also canceled today which is awesome because now I can go out on a date!! :) Oh ya forgot to tell ya... Guess who has their license? CONNOR HINCKLEY does!!!! Bamm baby watch out!!!! Ha ha well the period is almost over and I am technically not suppose to be on the Internet...... Wish me luck camping through the hurricane!!!

Oh and if you are hearing music when reading my blog that isn't you going crazy. I added a music player at the bottom of my blog of some of my favorite songs. Like I said it is really boring in this class. The Hanna Montana Song and Ping Pong song is an inside joke with Joel Saupe and Tyson Stratton. Just ask them.... Or better yet don't ask.

You can see us all in our overalls for band!! We look soooo cool!!! The last picture is of fellow bone player and fellow Mormon Patrick. He is awesome and has the most amazing eyes you will ever see. I will post more pictures of him ladies. I am not joking the most amazing eyes. Well thanks for reading ya'll the next post will be up next Sunday as usual.

First Week of School (Life in Hell as we know it)

Okay so here's my first week in perspective....... Get home at 9:00 at night because you have been doing band or been at basketball all day. Then do homework until 12:00 at night then wake up at 5:00 to go to early morning seminary. Ya I have gone from complete slacker to midnight stresser. Oh boy everything that you could possibly imagine is to the ten hundredth here. I wonder if anybody does anything here half way? I am thinking that I am going to have to drop either my AP classes or Band if I want to be able to actually survive. Oh well Jr. year they say is the hardest.





I think that you can say that I have been officially cultured here. Asians, Blacks, Indians (Asian Indians not Native Americans), and Mexicans are all here in full power. The Asians are just amazingly freakishly smart and so are the Indians. The Blacks will cut you if you piss them off but they are a lot cooler than the whites let me tell you. They are just fun to be around. The Mexicans don't really mingle with anybody else and stay in their own group. Whites are just pretty much everywhere. We are a filler group filling in the holes. Ya I have been cultured.





Okay so College Football freaken started this week!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! Wow if it wasn't for College Football I may have killed myself this week. Utah beat Michigan which was freaking amazing.!!!! BYU did win which makes me happy. (What Connor is happy that BYU won???) Yes I am because when Utah beats BYU it makes them look that much better! :) I also did go the Texas A&M game which I have season tickets to. That was just simply amazing. Never before have I seen such a stadium so loud and so much school spirit. Okay so toss out everything you know about wimpy ball (BYU football) also about college football. A Texas A&M game was beyond that. During their fight song the whole stadium puts their arms around the people they are sitting next to and sway and sing their fight song. Doesn't matter if you don't know them everybody does it. They lost played crappy were just simply horrible but it didn't matter. Everybody was just so loud. Maybe it is because their stadium can hold 84,000. Just as a reference point Rice Eccles can hold about 45,000. It is just simply a religion down here. I won't even talk about high school football. Who has a jumbo tron at a high school field?? It is exactly like the T.V. show Friday Night Lights.

This is Kyle Field Texas A&M's field. They have a Jumbo Tron as bigger than my house.




Well I am getting accustom to Texas and how people are. I love Texas accents and think they are sooo funny. As for the picture of my date? Well I will post up my homecoming pictures guys don't worry. That's all thanks for reading.

Sweet Sixteen

My birthday was pretty awesome let me tell you that. I woke up Wednesday morning to a bunch of balloons on my bed that my family had put there the night before. I got to sleep in very late which was totally awesome. I woke up got ready for the day and went to go open presents. Let me tell you what I got. I didn't get very much just um a little something called....... A PLANE TICKET BACK TO UTAH!!!!!!!!! I am coming in March and going to be going to MORP with Brandy Karl. I am so excited to see you all again. We are all going to hang out and it will be so totally super special awesome!!!! After I opened my presents, Nate (my new friend and super cool dude) came and picked me up we went and saw the new Star Wars Movie. It was pretty good. Then we went to the mall and I bought some new clothes. I am never going shopping again with my mom. Shopping with a guy was so much nicer, I just held it up he said it looked good and we bought it. No problem!!! Took us fifteen minutes to do what would have taken me and my parents a hour and a half. Now that really sounded like a man date but I swear it wasn't. I then came home went to scouts which was a swim party and they threw me into the pool because of my b day. It was a pretty cool b day but I am not nearly done. The next day after Nate and me came home from Band there was a little surprise. When he dropped me off he stepped out of the car and said he had to get something from my mom. I was like okay and we walked up to my door. When I walked in all the youth in the 1st and 2nd ward were sitting in my living room and started to sing happy b day to me!!! My parents planned the whole thing!!!! They went and invited everybody. It was so awesome!!!! We then played games and watched I am Legend it was very fun. I don't know though if I will be able to get my licence and what they will say i have to do. Hopefully it will all work out. Well my birthday was just missing one thing and that was you guys. I really miss you all a ton!!! I hope you are thinking of me. Miss you all!!!

Oh and by the way I got a date to Homecoming!!! :)

The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Instead of writing a big long paragraph I thought that I would mix it up a little bit and tell you the 5 best, the 5 worst, and the 5 most ugly things is Texas.

THE GOOD
1.The Church
It is really strong down here and everybody is really nice. Plus I don't have anal leaders!!!! (If my old leaders are reading this "I love you guys!!!")
2.The Girls
Who wears short shorts? Every girl in Texas wears short shorts. The big part though is that they actually can. :)
3.The Food
Can you say BBQ? It is a mouthwatering delight!!!!
4.Friends
All the Mormon people down here are really close and it is just awesome!!!
5.Gas/Taxes
Gas is cheaper here and we have no Grocery Tax!!

THE BAD
1.The Nonmembers
It is the weirdest thing ever to go to something and realize that you are the only Mormon there and that the rest are not Mormon.
2.The Girls
Because they aren't Mormon a lot of them dress not the best and they aren't looking for the same thing that I am which is just dating. Not this drama boyfriend stuff.
3.School
Think of my school as a concentration camp times twelve. We can't leave I will have about two hours of homework every day. It is not fun.
4.Band
I have to put so much time into this. I have early morning rehearsals every Monday, Thursday, and Friday before school and Wednesday and Tuesday after, every single week.
5.It's not Utah
This just doesn't feel like home yet and I don't ever think it will. I miss ya'll so much!!!

THE UGLY
1.No Mountains
It is so weird to look out and not see any mountains!!!
2.Streets
I like to know where I am by looking at a street and seeing 1200 south not Raybourn road! I don't know how I am going to get around here. I am going to get so lost.
3.Heat
I have said it a million times before and I will say it again. IT IS SOOOO HOT HERE!!!!
4.The Language
Man I thought that I had heard it all at Viewmont.... Man was I wrong!!!
5.The Ladies
They are pretty here but none of them are like my Utah girls!! Shout out to all my girls!!!

Oh by the way I got a four on my a.p. Test!!! Took me forever to get it because of me moving!!!!! I guess that twenty I slipped into my test booklet did me good. :)

Moving In

Okay so here I am in College Station TX. It is hot hot hot, but I think I am getting use to it. I just barely got Internet and unpacked our last box. We had 275 boxes in our house and it was not fun living in them, or unpacking them. We had a fiasco with our fridge... hundreds of bugs had laid their eggs in the fridge. In the cooling in the ice maker in the entire fridge. The grossest thing ever. Take a look for yourself.

If that isn't gross then I don't know what is. I have made friends with my church people and have hung out with them a couple of times. Nate has befriended me and is a stud lol. I think I know who I am going to ask to homecoming but not sure yet. I do have her number though and once Connor Hinckley has your number you are his. ;) My high school Texas A&M Consolidated High School, (we call it consol for short) has three dances. I know different from the six Viewmont had. But we have a stake dance every month and they are actually not lame and people go to them. I recently went to basketball camp up at A&M and was quickly labeled the Mormon kid. First day I walk in with a Utah Basketball shirt and the first question off their lips was are you Mormon? I worked hard though and got many a blisters which popped as you can see evidence of from my sock.

Yes that is blood but I take if like a man. HOO RAA!!! (Yes I am single ladies) A lot of quirky things go on down here I will have later posts listing them all!!! Until then I say goodbye. Miss all this much!!!. (Oh and I am Spiderman!!!!)

Church in Texas

So I just came back from church and went to mutual last Wednesday here in College Station Texas. Well the church and the people in it aren't that much different. You have your peter priesthoods and your underachievers who sleep. Not that much different. My ward doesn't have that many young women a minus. One girl is in my Sunday School class and she is pretty cute. But one come one please I need more. The other ward that shares the building has about fifteen girls in it and only five young men. The guys say that they are all amazingly pretty. I am sitting here thinking why the heck am I not in that ward. Oh well can't have it all. The guys in my ward are pretty cool. The leaders are fun (most of them BYU grads so we but heads a lot). We have our characters of the ward. The weird people, the cool people, the quite people. One kid Nate has really been nice to me and befriended me. We went to a movie together and he is really nice. He is in band with me and has been giving me the run down of how to act here. Now Seminary is another story. I have to go at six thirty and it is not fun. But all the girls in the other ward. Will be there also. So they will get their chance to meet the sexy beast Connor. At school they have a table called the Mormon table and that is where they eat and hang out during school. So at least I will have somewhere to eat during lunch. Everybody here doesn't use Mormon swear words at all. Like this kid cringed when I said that's crappy. I can't use freaken, crap, suck, gosh dang it, or damage without someone looking at me like I just swore. Looks like I got to shape up my language. Well thanks for reading please post and tell everybody else to read also.

The Journey Down to Texas

So here I am down here in the loan star state. Was it easy getting down? Well that is a story so let me tell y'all about it. It started with me driving down to Utah and staying at Mike Huff's house for a week. (known as one of my man lovers) I had a blast down there but when my mom came Thursday it was all sadness. I got to see my dad finally after a month of him living down in Texas working and finding us a house. After picking him up from the airport we then started on our long amazing drive. We drove from about twelve till twelve which was not fun. We drove to the Grand Canyon and got there at midnight. We woke up to spend a day at the National Park which was awesome. I have never seen a more amazing thing in my entire life ever. I know now where me and my wife are going on our honey-moon. She doesn't get a say at all we are going to the Grand Canyon. After we spent an amazing day there we went back to the motel and woke up early the next morning to drive some more!!! We drove all day to Amarillo Texas which is where I use to live in first grade. It was weird seeing my house again like it looked a lot smaller. We stayed the night in Amarillo and then woke up to again drive!!! This time we drove to Dallas to go to Six Flags the next day!!!!! We stayed in a really nice hotel and woke up the next morning not to drive, but to go to Six Flags!!! It was sooooo coool!!! My favorite ride was the TITAN oh ya it sounds like it is. You go 23 stories high and over 85 miles per hour. That is totally kick but!!!!! Lagoon is like less than half of what Six Flags is. Disney Land is like half. After we rocked at six flags we went back to the hotel and slept then we woke up early, to again drive!!!! We then drove to College Station Texas, or now known to me as home. We are staying in a rental house that my dad has been staying in for the month while he has been working. It belongs to a older couple who are on a mission. Not the mission you are thinking of though it is a Baptist mission. So there are your collection of crosses and bible quotes around the house. We got to go see our house which is awesome!! I really loved it and I finally get my own bathroom all to myself. I then went over to see my dog hank which has been staying at my Bishop's house for the month. He was okay and the kid there my age was nice. He is going to pick me up tomorrow for mutual so hopefully it will be fun. He told me about early morning seminary which I am thrilled about. (sarcasm) He also told me about how, because of early morning band rehearsals I get to miss seminary and get to make it up at home and go to extra classes!!! I was so excited!!!! (sarcasm again) In Utah people ditch seminary in Texas people bring seminary home. Something isn't right here. So let me tell you about Texas..... First everything and I mean everything is bigger in Texas!!! Think of anything you possibly can imagine and it will be bigger here. Including the temperature. It is so hot here I think that I am going to die. The humidity is like you sweat when you walk outside. It is awful. One thing though that I like about Texas...... the women!!!! :) You think that you are in the middle of a Ms. America competition. They ain't just the pretty though they are my type if you know what I mean..... athletic. Now girls if you are reading this don't feel bad their are your big cowboy playing football player also. But man boys whoa there are some real lookers here!!! :) So anyways that was my amazing adventure thanks for reading this really long post and I hope that y'all are doing fine. Remember to post and to vote on the pole thanks.

Last in Wyoming

Well this will be my last post in Wyoming!! I am leaving for Texas July third. But not to worry by the grace of my parents and the hospitality of Mike Huff and his parents I will be visiting Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. I will be staying over at Mike's house so it should be a party. I leave Thursday for the long two day drive to Texas so it is required that all of you text me to keep me from getting bored. I hope to hang out with as many people as I can when I visit but I can't hang with everyone. This will be my last visit for awhile because well I'm going to Texas. So this is a farewell to all those I will not see and a new journey awaits me. I hope to keep in touch with everyone. Thanks for reading another post will be up in about a week and the soonest and two weeks at the latest.

Bear Lake

Well sorry about the wait on the posts I just barely got back from Bear Lake! It was so much fun! I got burned so bad. I swear that I never will be able to tan. I burn or stay white one or the other. So looks like it will be white and nerdy for me. My friend Zach came up and we hung out there which was fun. His grandma and my grandma have been friends their whole life, my mom and his mom have been friends their whole life, and me and Zach have been buds for our whole lives so far also. So ya the water was absolutely freezing as usual. So the splash/mud fight with my sisters was very very cold. My whole mom's side family came to the beach house which made it a mad house. Five cousins all under five running around a small beach house, along with my only boy cousin will who is three months old and my two sister. It was crazy, the food was gone so fast so I had to hide some in my room. :) Well it was fun to get together with family even if they do eat all the food. The one thing that I wish that my mom's side would do that my dad's side does it play cards. When my dad and all of his family get together and we play poker, uno, hearts, Texas hold em, or even go fish it is a blood bath. I have a very good poker face and I learned it from my family. Well that is about it. Be sure to check out the other blogs i have posted and check out the results of the poll. I go back to Utah next week but I will have more about that in my next post. Thanks and good luck.

Art Class and Bear Lake

Well today I went to my sister's art class to see what they have made. It is at the elementary school and has younger kids it. Except for two kids who are my age. Well one is a sorta big fella that has moobs like you would not believe! I mean he really needs to wear a bra...or...bro or something. He started to walk towards me once and I ran away because I was afraid that he was going to spear me with one of them. Well his older brother is taller then me and he is my age. He is scary for his project he made a clay elmo who had been decapitated and was lying in a pool of blood. He also drew a picture of the Zombie Apocalypse. Ya scary people that need help. Well anyways I am going to be in Bear Lake tomorrow so there won't be a blog post like till next Friday because I know that I have so many readers you will just have to wait sorry. (sarcasm) Well my sorta cousin is coming up with us. I have never had any cousins to play with ever because my mom is the oldest and my dad is the youngest by ten years. So my closest cousin is my sister and then it is someone on my dad's side who just got back from their mission. So ya this kid Zach I have been friends with for awhile. My grandma is friends with his grandma and my mom is friends with his mom so I am friends with him. We have fun and stuff and the weather is suppose to be great there so it should be awesome wish me luck lol. Take a break from Wyoming which I really need badly. Remember to vote at post comments thanks.

My Co-Workers

Well as you can imagine and I have told you that there are a lot of interesting people that work for my Grandparents. I get to work with them. There is the usual white trash (not trying to be mean) that don't really know what they are doing and take a smoke break about every hour. There are the baggers who are annoying little Jr. High kids that are always running around. There are the stockers like me and we are pretty okay. Except one I think he is gay. I stocked with him Monday and he gave me weird looks and yes he does have a gay voice. He is one of my Grandparents most hard workers which helps my point even further. So ya then there is the meat department. They are the ruff men cutting up meat and such. You want to see cowboys just go back to the meat department and they will be back there working cutting up meat. In the Bakery it is so hot it is crazy. I hate working back there and the people hate it also so everybody is a jerk and mean to each other back there. In the deli it is okay and people are usually nice. It is so funny though when I go back and grab a drink off the shelf and just open it and drink it. They look at me like what are you doing? It is funny. But hey I have never worked with nicer people they really are very nice and easy to get along with so it is okay lol.

Comming Back For a Bit

So I came back this week and visited Utah Wednesday and Thursday. I hung out with My two hom-dawgs Joel and Tyson on Wednesday then I hung out with my gang (Mike, Hayden, David, Taylor, and Jake) on Thursday. I came down because my grandparents had meetings in Salt Lake so my family came down with them. We got to stay the the Grand America Hotel and go swimming in it. It was very nice. :) It was good to come back and see all my friends again. I wasn't able to go to Ali's surprise party because I couldn't get a ride which stunk because Lyle, Sloan, and Morganne were all there and a bunch of other people also. But I lived. It was fun to see my man lovers again also. Mike and Hayden haven't changed and they are awesome. I feel bad though that I wasn't able to hang out with everyone and am sorta mad about it. Moving really sucks let me tell you. So anyways just thought I would say that. My next post will be about the people that I work with so keep on checking. Thanks.

Helping out on Sunday

Now when it is Sunday and we get to help out at the store it is the best. No one is in there (because it is closed Sunday) so we get to run around and stuff. My grandma had set up a display of those rubber balls in that cage thing so me and my two younger sisters went strait for that. We ended up playing a huge game of doge ball in the entire store, balls were everywhere and we were all dead tired after the game. The best part is that we didn't even break anything even though balls were flying all over the place. Just you wait it gets better. I help my grandma then set up a lawn chair display and a flip flop display. After that she thanks me for helping by letting me get a pint of ice cream. I get strawberry (the best flavor) and sit back in a reclining lawn chair listening to music from my phone and texting. Oh ya this is the life I was thinking. As you can probably tell I like to help out at the store on Sunday. :)

Working and Stuff

Sorry I haven't been able to post for the past two days. I have actually been busy. Mostly I have been shooting hoops and practicing for tryouts this year because I bet that competition might be a little harder because their are a lot more black people in Texas. I worked for six hours today putting stuff out on shelves. I went to work at 10:00 and came home at 4:00. I love my hours. They are go whenever you want to and leave whenever you want to. I think that my Grandparents spoil me :). I spend most of work texting as probably most of you know, but don't worry I do work some. The store is about as busy as Dicks but the people are far far different. This store has a big huge cigarette display and a but load of chewing tobacco. All men usually have on some sort of cammo clothing somewhere on their body. I don't think anybody has seen the latest fashion in a while. You know what though that is just fine because really I don't care what I wear either. Please write comments and vote only five days left before a new pole. Thanks and good morning, afternoon, day, and night.

The Store

So my Grandparents own the only grocery store for like miles around. It is a pretty good size about the size of Dick's. It is the coolest place ever though. I can pretty much just walk in and take anything I want because my Grandparents own everything in the store. Now isn't that awsome. So yesterday I grabbed a few comics off the shelves, a pack of gum, and a spiderman electric toothbrush. Now that is awsome and I swear that my teeth have never been cleaner since I have started to use that toothbrush. Tomorrow I will probably grab some candy and gatorade. I will be working there also which will give me something to do. For all of you that can't really imagine this think about walking into Dick's and just being able to grab anything off the shelves ya it is that kool. Remember to leave comments for me.

Church in Wyoming

So today was Sunday and that means church. (Yes, I guess you have to go to church even when you move.) So anyways it was Fast Sunday and guess what that means? Testimonies when you are very very hungry! So I feel asleep through those and then it was time for Sunday School. Now keep in mind that I am in Wyoming the place full of hill billy's, Cowboy Carls, and old hicks. So our Sunday school teacher brought in a laptop so we could watch a movie. Well turns out he didn't know exactly how to work it. So he spent half of class figuring out how to show us why Amon cut off the Lamenite's arms. He finally had to borrow my cell phone and call his wife to tell him how to do it. Then it was priesthood and it was about fast offerings which I didn't have to do thankfully. I think our teacher which didn't wear a tie, (most of the brethren there didn't) spoke about twelve sentences filled in with ums, and yas. It was awful. But hey I got to come home and help my grandma at the grocery store for awhile which is always good because we get to grab stuff on the way out:). That is about it and I will see you tomorrow

Leaving

Here I am I moved today shut the door on my house and now I am in Wyoming. My parents weren't able to buy a house in time for us to move down there so my dad left and is going to go down to Texas and rent while me my two sisters and my mom are stuck here in Wyoming. My grandparents are the koolest don't get me wrong it is just that Star Valley Wyoming isn't the most exciting place on the map. My grandparents own a grocery store up here and that is fun because we can pretty much just go in and take stuff that we wan't. I will be working there for the month that I am here so that should be really fun! (sarcasm). I miss all the people that I left and I hope that they miss me too. That is pretty much all for today.
