WWF - Words with Friends

I remember the days when WWE was big, you know, back in elementary school.  A lot of my friends would talk about how much they loved watching WWE and that it was the best sport ever.  First of all, false.  WWE is not even a sport and its not the best thing ever either.

Fast forward 15 years in the future to the present day.  A new "WW" has come to town, no not WWE but WWF, words with friends.  Words with friends is addicting and can also be a life destroyer, just ask my roommate Randy.  It is pretty much an electronic app version of scrabble.  You compete against friends or random people on the internet to see who is the best at using random letters to come up with words.

I like WWF for a couple of reasons.  One is that if you win, you have bragging rights and you can pretty much say you are the smartest person alive.  Second it is just a fun game to play with your friends, even when your friends are at work and you are at school.  The fun with WWF has no boundaries, you can have fun with it anywhere - unless you don't have wi-fi or phone service, then the fun does have boundaries.

I know WWF can help you with your social and word skills, I have a testimony of it.  If you are a socially-awkward-bad-at-words kind of person, WWF is for you.  It is too legit to quit!

Provo Tabernacle

The most exciting news from General Conference is that the Provo Tabernacle will become the new temple in Provo, UT.  

How awesome is that?!

It was a sad day to many people when they learned that the Provo Tabernacle was burning down.  I not only remember seeing pictures in the news of the building burning, and I remember seeing the smoke of the fire from my work in South Provo. 

What people probably remember the most is the picture of where the firefighters brought out the painting of where everything was burned except for the area around christ.


It is such an amazing photo and so many people have commented on awesome it is.

Now the Provo Temple will be rebuilt into a temple.  It will once again help others come unto christ and help others serve our Savior Jesus Christ.  I look forward to seeing how it all works out and I know that this will be a great blessing to all of us who live in this area.

Church is true!

Blogging



Why is blogging so much fun?  I think I love it so much that I will blog once a week for the rest of the semester.  Then after the semester I might just stop, because I don’t really like to blog that much.  There are many different kind of people out there that like to blog, and I don’t feel like I fall in any of those categories.
One category is the kind of person that likes to blog their every movement in their life.  They let you know what they ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  They let you know how many steps they took etc etc etc.  Then there are pictures for each one of those events! Too much people, too much.
Then there is the occasional blogger.  They are the kind of person that blogs only really cool events and share cool photos.  I am fan of those kind of bloggers.  They share info regarding their family events, a sporting activity, a date, or a study abroad.  Those are the kind of blogs I like to follow.
What I like about blogging the most is that everyone gets to blog the way that they like to.  Even though I am not a fan of different styles of blogging, I do like the fact that everyone gets to do it their way.  Just like Burger King.

RSL Game and One Republic Concert

This weekend I had the choice of either going to the BYU vs Utah game OR I could go to RSL game with a One Republic Concert after.  I chose the RSL game, and boy did I choose wisely.

First of all RSL won, and it was a huge win against a very competitive Sporting Kansas City.  This win makes RSL on a winning streak of 4 games in a row.  The win also moves them into an automatic qualifying spot for the playoffs.  We also sat next to some of the funniest fans.  They were making comments the whole time about the other team and it was hilarious!  We got to see a good game and have funny commentary on the side.  After the game we waited until they allowed us to go on the field for the concert.  Once the gates were opened it was a mad dash to get up to the stage, might I add that running on the stadium's field was like a dream come true.

The concert was amazing.  One Republic are amazing live and the lead singer can sing higher than Michael Jackson. (Not sure if this is true, do not quote me on it.)

After the concert we headed home.  I got home saw the score for the BYU game and knew that I had made the right choice in going to the RSL game.

Yeah buddy.

Sunday Dinner


My favorite time of the week is Sunday.  Why?  Because of family dinner.  Nothing is better than having family dinner every Sunday.  My family gets together with my Aunt and Uncle’s family.  We either go to their house or they will come to our house.  It is probably the best way to get ready for the rest of the week.
Our family dinners always turn out to be good times.  When you get my family around food there is bound to be good times.  We laugh about things that have happened that day at church, or about things that have happened to us that week, but mostly we laugh about things that have happened in the past.  
I hope that all of you have the opportunity to have family dinner with your family every Sunday.  If you do not have family around here get some friends together and get some food.  If you don’t have friends, go make some. Not that hard people.

Week One - The Beginning

I would of never thought that I would come back to post on the best site ever created.  Once I left Jerusalem I thought that would be the end of my blogging days. 
 But I was wrong.

I will start up my blog again for my MCOM 320 class.  My goal is to be able to become a better writer and be able to better communicate my ideas and thoughts with writing.

I know this is a short entry, but there will be more to come for sure. I hope you all look forward for good things to come!
