Busy Busy Week

This past week has been one busy week!  Not only have I had a lot of different homework assignments, I have also had different competitions, and family matters going on.  Its been a fun week, but yet I look forward to a less busy week.

I participated in the xTax competition put on by PWC.  That kept me way busy.  Busier than I wanted to be, but because I made a commitment to my team I decided to go through with it; even though I would have rather of just been home sleeping.

This weekend I got to go to my girlfriend's family Halloween party.  It was way fun! We got to carve pumpkins, eat lots of food and even watch some Halloween movies.  All for a good good time.  My pumpkin was obviously the best, since I am the master at carving pumpkins.

Well for all you who look at my blog, which I am pretty sure is no one, see you next week.

Weekend

This past weekend was one of my favorites!  The goodness started off on Friday where I got to with some friends to a private practice of RSL.  We got to eat food, win prizes, take pictures with the players, watch the practice, etc etc etc  It was awesome!

Rito Tinto Stadium

RSL at practice

Then later Friday I headed down to St. George to spend a weekend away from the hustle bustle and that was great!  I got to go swimming a lot, eat a lot of food, drive around a lot, and just be able to relax with family and friends.

One of my favorite parts was being able to go visit my grandparents in St. George.  They are hilarious.  My grandpa was a sailor in WWII and my grandma can never seem to call me by the right name.  I love them lots!  Family is what makes the world go round.

It is sad that the vacation had to end, hopefully another vacation will come along soon!

A Coke

Wednesday Bro. Clarke gave us the assignment to go and buy "a coke" for a complete stranger.  So yesterday I went to my roommate Brock's house for a Halloween party with his family.  There were lots and lots of kids there! So I decided I would give something to one of the kids.  The kids were very, very friendly.  I gave a boy named Crew some candy and he just kept on coming to me after that.  He would copy the things I would do and he became one of my good buddies.

The best part is that he was dressed as Batman.  I bought something for Batman.  Too legit to quit.

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.
