Early Bird

Isn't it nice to be able to wake up early. I love it! I can get stuff accomplished and I can earn money. This morning I applied for a job at Paradise Bakery. I'm hoping I receive the job because I will be able to wake up at 5 each morning and run to work. Today I am planning on buying a pair of Nike IPod shoes for running.

There's some things that I want to get done in my life before I leave on my mission such as, run a marathon. I plan on running to coldstone every morning and then running home. The whole distance is 7 miles so I would be running 14 miles a day! I think that would totally be worth it. I'm stoked. I recently have started playing basketball a lot more so that I can work out. I got a brand new pair of Nike shoes also. They are black and blue! I think they are so sick. So that much is new in my life. From here on out until my mission I'm plan it on saving every penny for me and a special someone. I'm excited to see what the future has in store and the blessings that it will bring if I am doing what is right. I'm so excited to be able to serve my mission in the Caribbean. I want to be all that I can be. I just want to do what's right all the time.

Chopsticks

Brittany and I ate Panda Express in the park in the canyon. We had some amazing fortune cookies.

Seniors

While at work today, quite a few older people came in and got ice cream. This is what the first few looked like.

Not so happy. They were just depressed about life, like they were going nowhere.

This is what I want to be like when I'm older. I want to be able to smile and bring laughter to my grandkids and family. I want to be alive, full of life, and full of joy. Isn't that all that this life is about. Finding true joy through the gospel. Why shouldn't we be happy 24/7. Thats what I'm striving to do.

My Call For 2 Years

Oh my goodness what an amazing day it was yesterday. Yesterday around 7:20 I opened my mission call! I was so excited all day. On Wednesday April 13 at 11:00 at night I went to the mail box and found my mission call. I had to wait 4 days to open it. It was a such a pain to wait that long but in the end it was so worth it. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was. Family and friends were gathered around on Sunday night to celebrate. We had dinner with a few of our close friends and then after we were able to have more people come over to have dessert and food. I am so excited to leave. I have been called to the:

WEST INDIES MISSION

I am super excited to be able to serve and be called to this mission. I feel that this is where I am meant to go and it's where the Lord wants me to be.

Yesterday after I opened my mission call I was able to see my friends and family in tears and happiness. I have a lot of people looking up to me and I need to make sure that I am always worthy so that I can be their example that they need. A lot of people are counting and praying for me. I know that this is my calling in life. Regan Hansen, one of my best friends yesterday, broke down. I had never seen Regan so happy and yet at the same time so grateful. He thanked me for being a great example. I'm so grateful for that memory. I need to do what's right at all times and all things and all places. My fellow brethren are looking up to me. I can't tell you how important of a moment that was to me. It will forever being a memory I cherish in my life.

I am to report to the MTC on August 17, 2011. I am very excited. I want those that look up to me to know that all I want to do is what is right. I can't even begin to describe to tell you how excited I am. I spent the rest of the evening with Brittany. I look up to her a lot. She is an amazing and beautiful example in my life. She teaches me to be a better me and makes me seem needed. I love her so much. If I could tell her one thing right now it would be how much I want to see her smile for eternity. I am grateful that I have a love for Brittany that will last. No matter what. I'm very excited and blessed to have her in my life.

Now as I prepare to serve my mission I will become what the lord needs me to be. I will serve him at all times, and in all things, and all places. I love my God. I love my Family. I love my Friends. But Most of All I Love my Savior, My Redeemer, My Brother,

JESUS CHRIST

It's leftover Chinese from yesterday but it's a blast. I'm super excited to go longboarding today with Braden, Regan, Dezmon and Brittany. It should be a blast. Until then I have to get back to work.

Funny Times

Basically last night was a beautiful time to spend with my best friend. We had so much that we did, as we ran around classic skating and even the special moments when my iPod started playing "There is beauty all around"! Brittany and I laughed together so many times last night. It was a blast being together having fun. Today I am a work reflecting on last night. It hasn't been that busy but I got up at 10:30 and got everything finished before the store opened at 11:00. I moves so fast this morning. At 5:00 today we are planning on going long boarding down Provo canyon. I'm super excited and can't wait. This is my lunch that I am eating today.

The more we take, the less we become.

Thinking has been on my mind for a while. I work everyday Monday thru Friday by myself and so I am able to do a lot of thinking and writing. My mission is ahead of me in the next two months. I've been thinking a lot if I am ready. I am ready. Ready to give my life to the lord. I will be leaving people behind that I love but this calling that I have in my life will make me grow closer to them. I know it more than anything in the world. The title of this post was worded from one of my best friends, Quincy Murphy. Thanks so much for daily putting quotes on your life to help put together mine. It means so much to me. I just want to write and write and learn to write more and more each and everyday. One of my favorite quotes is a goal not written down is merely a wish. It's so true and if we don't write it down it will be lost in the depths of the great minds we have as children of God.

My Friend I Love

You Walked Lightly

You walked lightly into my life captivating and lovely to my mind at first I didn't care who you were now I don't know who I am without you you kissed me I felt my world change your held me I heard my hear awaken you loved me You walked lightly into my life now my heart knows who you are and with every breath and every step I take down lonely roads your hands is my staff your voice is my guide your strength is my shelter your passion is my awakening you walked lightly into my life and all my pain you took as your own and all my fears you cast out into the sea all my doubt lost in your eyes you walked into my life and no matter if you choose to stay or go my life is forever changed just because you loved me for a moment in time This is for you. I can't describe how much it means to be loved in your lifetime. Brittany and I spent the night together after a long day of work at ColdStone. Brittany was able to go shopping while I was at work. She got a new brown dress and a really bright skirt with a purple shirt. Its was darling, I love it. This love grows more and more day by day, and the nice thing is that I know it means something.

I want to do so much in my life right now. Whoa I'm super excited. I'm getting ready and preparing for my mission. It's going to be an exciting and amazing thing in my life to find out who and what I am to be. My calling and everything. Very soon now I will be going to the temple to receive my endowments. I am so excited. Last night I spent time with my family and my best friend, we played taboo and scrabble. After we went on a drive. It was nice being able to talk about anything and everything. It's so nice, but more than anything I'm excited for my mission right now.

Family

One of the most important things in our life is family. Family is what this earth life is about. Family is forever. Today my family and I went on a lunch outing to the Pizza Factory and the breadsticks were delicious. I has three of them. It was the most amazing place to eat and sit and talk. After we went and watched the movie Hanna. It was a really good movie that my parents didn't like, but it was pretty good I thought. The beginning of the movie was really good, and at the end of the movie it got kind of boring. Besides that the movie was really good. The weather in Utah is terrible right now though. There is tons of snow everywhere still and then it just turns to rain. My dad has been driving Ike crazy the last little bit, and has been complaining about other drivers. I sure hope that I will be able to write in my blog tomorrow! If I'm alive.

The Best Is Yet To Come

Isn’t it neat when you have that special someone that you can call your own? Brittany Kerr, I can’t describe in words how much you mean to me. On Tuesday night Brittany and I rendezvoused in the gardens, after I got my interview for my mission papers. They are all in now and it has taken several weeks but now I should get my call in the next few weeks! I’m super excited. I have been ready to serve my mission for so long. Okay so here are the things that are on my mind.

1. Mission- the number one thing on my mind that I am preparing for. I’ve been working hard on trying to read my scriptures everyday and its coming along pretty well.

2. Brittany Kerr- what a wonderful blessing in my life to have someone that loves me so much. I care about her each and everyday. When we were at the gardens we dance to the song Free Fall by the Dream and I can’t describe the feelings that I felt that night. I love this person.

3. Parkour- who doesn’t love it? Parkour is an amazing thing to watch and people can be so good at it. It’s crazy to think that people can jump across bridges and buildings and still live to tell the tale. I’m going to learn.

4. Website- I’m working on a website that I want to make for my future family. It’s going to have family home evening links and breakfast, lunch, and dinner links also. Tons of Hymns and just amazing stuff. I’m so excited to finish and be able to work on this website. It’s going to be an amazing thing.

Along with many other things I also want to write in this blog everyday and keep it updated. My life about how to change the world with love, is going to happen. I can feel it in my bones.
