July 4th

Well, I seem to have gotten into the habit of only writing my blog every other week.  I will try to do better, but I can make no promises.  It just seems that every other Sunday is especially busy, so I have no time to write in my blog.

 

Lets see then, what has been happening.  Well two Thursdays ago (21st) we had a really fun night.  It started with several of us from the FLSR going out to play volleyball.  When we got there the courts were full, but we joined a game with another team.  It was a lot of fun to just get out and play with everyone. 

After we got back we all just talked for a while, and then we all decided to go to Sonic.  It is funny to me that I am doing stuff like this.  It feels more like I am 21 now, then when I was 21 Smile with tongue out  Oh yea, that night I also asked out a girl while she was on a date with someone else.  Sure felt silly when I realized what I had done, but you know what they say, all is fair in love and war.

The next day was the date with the girl that I just mentioned.  It was a double date with someone else I knew from the FLSR.  We went up the canyon and had tin-foil dinners and roasted Marshmallows.  It was pretty much as awesome as it gets.  We had such a great time. 

As we were leaving Kari, the girl I was on the date with, said she wanted to watch a movie.  So we went to my uncle’s house and watched Frequency.  It was so fun, made especially so by the fact that Kari super reacted to everything that happened in the movie.  She was more fun to watch then the movie itself ;)

Then on Saturday I had another date.  We went for dinner at Café Pasean, which for those who do not know is like Café Rio, but with Italian food instead of Mexican food.  While there we just happened to run into Brittany and Ryan which was crazy.  After dinner we went to watch “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, performed by the Shakespeare in the Park group.  It was so much fun.  I must say overall, and amazing date with an amazing girl, the highlight of that week for sure.

 

Wednesday of the next was the next day where anything happened.  I got some people together and we watched “Howl’s Moving Castle”.  It was fun, even if some people thought it a bit over the top.  After the movie Kristen, the cousin of one of my friends in the FLSR, came over to return a guitar she had borrowed.  I then helped her listen to some of the stuff she had recorded to submit for a scholarship.  She is a really amazing musician.  There can be no better way to end a night then listening to amazing music with great people, and so that night ended wonderfully.

Saturday was also a lot of fun.  In the afternoon I had a picnic with a bunch of my family.  It was great to see everyone, even though it took quite a bit of time for everyone to trickle in, but that is just how a darling gathering works.

Later that night I was also able to go to Stadium of Fire.  It was really good.  The music and everything was just wonderful.  It is amazing how incredible fireworks are.  They seem to be able to do anything, even make a heart shape.  I then ended the night by going to the creamery with some friends, and then just talking the night away.  Wonderful.

 

So that is how life has been going for me.  Full of fun and eventfulness.  As I try to be more and more social the Lord has truly helped me to find amazing friends.  That is actually the story of my life as it sits now.  The Lord leads us and guides us, even in ways that we don’t understand.  I am not fully sure how current things will help me to accomplish my goals, but I know I am doing what the Lord wants, and I know that He will see to it that I can do all that I am supposed to.  This is truly one of the greatest blessings of the gospel.  We can have confidence that if we but do what the Lord tells us to do, that He will help us accomplish what He has promised we can accomplish!
