UC Davis

2011-02-15T15:54:00.001-08:00

We're going to UC Davis this weekend. We have a couple people injured on the team but we still have a strong team to go. I should be getting a lot of playing time. Our team is ranked number 1 in the nation right now so that' pretty exciting.

Everyone really likes taking pictures of their babies. infinite amount of angles an possibilities.

Dog Separation Anxiety

2010-12-17T09:02:00.000-08:00

Well I have been busy with school this semester. I decided last minute to go to UVU instead of CSDUH. It's been tough wondering if I made the right decision. I ended up taking just 2 classes and regretted having so much free time. Xbox just doesn't satisfy my boredom like it use to. I play volleyball at UVU and Im a middle blocker. There are 3 other middles besides me so I have a lot of competition. We won 3 tournaments this year so far and are doing really good.
School is done with and I think I got an A and B in my two classes. I have been working on a new project that I'll talk about more in the future but for now I'll just give the link for my Dog Separation Anxiety website.

Excited to be home in a few days.

Time for a new post

Denver, Colorado. The Broncos vs. the Saints.

2008-09-26T01:45:00.000-07:00

Alex, his brother Matt, his sister Megan, and I drove to Colorado saturday morning. We stayed with his uncle and in the morning we went the Broncos game. I'd never been to an NFL game before and it was pretty fun.Clouds we're pretty, i should have taken more of the mountains. really cool colors.

We we're pretty close, 3rd row
They were setting up the pyro display, looks like a fun job.

Utah Lake

2008-08-21T10:38:00.000-07:00

I also went wake boarding yesterday with a volleyball friend. He always invites me but I am always busy so it was nice to get out. The water was perfect. It was 75 degrees in the water and it was completely glass with only 1 other boat in the water. We had the whole lake to our selves.

I'm brought my friend from the apartment with us. Her first and middle name is Kelly Ann. I thought that was funny.

A guy named Matt was doing a bunch of back flips and stuff. It was pretty cool.

He ended up hurting his knee and we had to pull him out of the water though. Other than that it was a really fun trip and now I'm just really sore.

Tubing down Provo River

2008-08-21T10:31:00.000-07:00

We all got some tubes last Saturday and we went tubing down the river. It was a lot of fun and very pretty and relaxing. I've been wanting to do it for awhile so I'm glad I was invited to go with some friends from my apartment. I played 3 full hour and a half soccer games that day so i just iced my feet in the river. The river was fun, it was pretty relaxing but sometimes it got intense.

This is my elders quorum president. We put tubes over him then pushed him over.
Navigating the river obstacles were pretty easy. My biggest concern was not running into this guy. Curtis is pretty physical and kind of reminds me of Tommy boy in this picture.

Scenester Alert

So this post is for Rachel. I was experimenting with my hair and i let me friends straighten my hair cause i thought it would be fun. I really felt uncomfortable with he new haircut but apparently everyone i talked to thought it looked really good. The picture didn't turn out really good but you can kinda get the gist of it.

I've been working the graveyard shift at Teleperformance. It's been interesting and strangely comfortable. I'm on a computer until 5 in the morning which Mom knows isn't unfamiliar for me.

I officially graduate my training and I'm going into full work mode (not much different from what i have been doing). Good news is that i get a decent raise.

I'm going to the lake for two days next week in Yuba. I'll post pictures and let you know how it goes.

Knob Hill with the my family

2008-07-14T13:12:00.000-07:00

My dad flew me in for the weekend and we went to Knob Hill. There was memorial 4 man tournament going on and there were some good players there. I saw a lot of my friends there so it worked out well. All of the family was there and kevin mcleod and chris tregarther came also.

My sister said my hair look like Mr. Darcy

He liked to be thrown in the air like this.
It was fun playing with Nathan and seeing him walk
He really seemed to like the beach

Freedom Days

2008-07-04T19:08:00.000-07:00

So i ran the Provo Freedom 5k Run. I started late because i was running with some friends that had invited me. I still ran pretty good but i had ate at Carl's Jr. that week and probably had about 20 cans of soda to top it off. Needless to say i was well prepared for my first race ever. Regardless i still did well. I almost threw up on someone and his son but i held it in.

After words Alycia and Brit's roomats made us a banana pancake breakfast. it was really good

Here were the results for the race.

I was surprised i came in 166th out of 1667 people. That's not bad for never having run before. I came in the top ten percent and that was with a delayed start time too!

I want to do it again next year. Utah is a great place to get in shape.

I'll be posting pictures soon!!

Fire!

I bought 36 sparklers for 2 bucks. They were pretty cool and this girl that i home teach set her camera to low exposure and and we spelled out a relevant word with the sparklers. they turned out pretty cool. This was all in front of our apartment at Raintree in Provo.

Brit is the girl i home teach and this was our first good turn out with the camera trick

The sparklers burnt out so they all jsut did what they wanted.

I just thought this long exposure looked cool.
