Mission Callsss!

Last night I had my forth dream this semester, fifth ever, about getting my mission call. I guess I'm pretty anxious!

Idaho Fun

This last weekend, Becca was going to BYU-Idaho to visit Lauren and Karina and to go to a dance on Friday night. She had no one to drive up there with so I abliged... haha I'm not going to lie, I wanted to go. So after class on Friday, 2ish, we drive off to Idaho and get there about 630ish. I stayed with Ryan's friend Spencer in the dorms, about two dorrs down from Ryan, and met all Ryan's friends. They're really cool guys and I kinda felt like I was going to be there for a while. Saturday we went to the caves and played Hide and go seek with glow in the dark juices. haha It was awesome, and we did some off roading too. Later in the night we went to the sand dunes and jumped off/rolled down them. I had a great time and Ryan fed me well. It was good to see him again.
p.s. I told Ryan he needs to ask a specific girl out, so hopefully he gets on that... :D

yeah!

Hi! This is Jeff! I am writing on my blog :D

"My Dad's the Greatest Dad!"

I want to dedicate this post to my dad. My dad is amazing and I love him very much. He has been a great role model in my life and he has taught me important lessons on how to be a great Husband, Father, and Priesthood holder without even knowing he was doing it. But I have always been watching you dad, and you never cease to amaze me. You do so much for our family because you love us and you want the best for us. You've given me everything I've ever needed and then some and you ask for nothing in return. And the greatest thing you've given me is your time. You have always been there for me when I needed you. The thing I'm going to remember the most about you when I'm grown up is the time we spent together in the backyard... washing cars, planting flowers, doing jobs for mom/grandparents. The time I spent with you one on one while I was an only child is the time I'm going to remember the most. I love you dad. You're the BEST!

Vivid Dream

Have you ever had one of those dreams where you wake up and you SWEAR it really happened? Well I had one of those last night. I dreamt that I had gotten my mission call a while back, but I put it away and forgot about it. But then I remembered that I had it in my drawer, so I got it out and held it up to the light and read that I had been called to Idaho on a military mission and after a few months of that I would be transferred by jet pack to a regular mission. This isn't the first time I've dreamt about getting my mission call either. I've dreamt that Ryan Brassfield and myself were called to Antartica. 0_0 haha crazy dreams.

That's Hot!

So I was walking back to my dorm after my Calc Lab and saw this guy pull up in the parking lot on a motorcycle. Then a girl, I'm going to guess is his wife, gets on and the guy gets off. The girl tells him to call if he wants a ride home after class then leaves on the motorcycle, and she knew how to ride.... So I'm watching her ride out of the parking lot and down the street and this guy walking next to me says, "That's Hot!" hahaha... :D ...yeah

Sometimes, don't you just feel like an idiot?

So it's been three months that I've been going to BYU and I have my dad's old laptop to use. But for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to fix the volume. One day it would be quiet, but hearable, and the next you couldn't hear it at all. Well, today I figured out what the french toast was going on. Turns out, the knob on the front of the computer isn't there for nothing. It's the VOLUME knob!!! Man, part of me is so upset it took me this long to find it, and the other part is SOOOO glad I FINALLY found it. Sometimes, don't you just feel like an idiot?

Yesterday I bought my lunch out of the vending machine and was going to cook it in the microwave because I was short on time. So I put the pizza rolls in and turned it on for 80 seconds like the package says. I press start and I wait. I was amazed at how quiet the microwave was and I thought it was weird how this one didn't have a light turn on inside while your food was cooking. But I didn't think of it anymore than that. There were other people waiting to put their food in too so I was trying to hurry. So when the timer went off I open up the microwave and feel the pizza rolls... THEY'RE STILL FROZEN! I was a little mad and thought this was the weakest microwave in the world and put them back in for yet, ANOTHER 80 seconds. I'm standing there and then when the timer got down to about 35 seconds left, I finally realized that I was using the TIMER not the COOKING TIMER!!! hahahahaha. man I felt dumb. I stood there for a minute and a half while my food just sat there in the microwave not cooking at all. I actually said to the guy waiting patiently behind me, "I'm so stupid" but he didn't hear me. Actually I don't think he even noticed at all because he never corrected me. Sometimes, don't you just feel like an idiot?

9/11

Today is the 8th aniversery of 9/11 and it's amazing to me that it was that long ago. I remember exactly what I was doing. I was riding to my best friend Ryan's house to walk to school with him. Then, in 5th grade and 10 years old, I listened to the radio broadcast and heard them talking about some building that had been hit by an airplane. I asked my mom why they were reading a story on the radio, and my sister told me it's not a story, it's real. I didn't really believe her until I saw it for myself at Ryan's house on TV. Ryan and I looked at each other and said, "We're going to be talking about this at school today." That morning was the only part of the day that day that I remember.

Today I walked past the flag post in front of the ASB and saw that the flag was at half mast. There was a military man and woman standing in front of the flag, protecting it. I'm sure glad to live in a country where our military are fighting for our freedom.

MOA

Today I went to the Museum of Art (MOA) and looked around at all the art inside it. I've got a confession to make... I'm NOT very interested in art, and paintings. I love pictures of the Savior's life and of Nature (aka Yosemite). But that's about it. I understand it's an expression of people's hearts and soul, and that's great. But I just don't find it interesting. That's all I'm trying to say.

This guys blessed...

So there's this guy and he's loving life. He really couldn't have a much better life actually. He's got a family that love him, friends to hang out with most of the time, and a fantastic college to learn just about anything he would like to learn. This is the present, but the future is an entirely different story. He doesn't know what is there waiting for him. He can't predict what will happen, and often has no way of controling what will happen to him. It's scares him, but he knows he'll be alright because ...he's got a family that love him, friends to hang out with most of the time, and a fantastic college to learn just about anything he would like to learn...and a Savior that will always be there for him. So yeah, this guys pretty blessed and ready to take on all those frightening thoughts of the future.
