Okay so I just wanted to say that I am losing faith in ya'll on the poll. I would hope that you think that I would have a girlfriend that a pretty good looker. If you haven't voted get down there and vote!!!

Oh and here are some pictures from a high school stadium that we played at. A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL STADIUM!!

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.
