HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!

Okay, so I had a good day before my birthday. One of my friends, Frances, threw me a birthday party tonight. It was fun and I had a good time. The theme was "Happy Birthday Charlie Brown!" because I like the comic strip so much. Like I said, I had a good time. Many thanks to all who came.

an update

so, I'm back in Fruitland, working on the family farm. moving sprinkler pipe and doing all sorts of farm work.

Basically, i was promoted to lead tech and moved to Salem Oregon. so i packed up my stuff and moved to salem, spent the weekend with my family down in harrisburg, spent two days doing absolutely nothing, then got a call that the office was being closed down. that same day, i got a call from home that my brother had run his had through the gears on a wheel-line mover and mashed them up pretty badly.

so i packed up the next morning and headed home. where i am now. dale is doing much better, he has lost the middle finger on his right hand and we were worried about his ring finger there for a while, but we think now that it will carry through.

anyway, i'm just woking, sleeping, getting up early, and working some more. that's my life currently. take luck!

a quick note

I'm still just staying busy here in Washington. Puyallup is a nice place. I'm just staying busy and safe. not much else to say. work on my car is progressing, I'm trying to fix the front end and put new tires and struts all around, a couple thousand by the end of things, but it'll be worth the hassle. most of the work won't be done 'til July at least, I'll probably wait 'til the end of summer, we'll see.
In other news, ......I don't know what else to talk about!

A Few Good Weeks

Well, I've been up here in the Tacoma/Seattle area for about 3 weeks now and haven't written anything. SO...I think it's time for me to fill you in. I am about an hour south of seattle in a little town called Puyallup. it's a fun place. and i'm staying busy. so...there's the fill in. if you have any questions about my "new life," just ask.

A Very Successful Semester!!!!

I just saw my final grade report from this last semester and I am SO HAPPY!!!! I got straight A's! Life is good. After i saw the report, I flew down the stairs and danced a little jig. Mom thought it was hilarious!! Everything paid off!
So these last few days have been good. I've been working with dad and the neighbor trying to get water on the grain crop. Over the winter our neighbor bought three wheel lines and now we are putting them together. Its a lot of work, but much easier than moving hand lines. Plus, Dale is the only boy left at home most of the summer and he hasn't always been the best at moving lines. but I suppose that he has gotten better over the years. he's a strange kid.
Well, I'll be here for a few more days before heading up to Seattle to install alarm systems for about five months. I'm starting to get things put together and figure out what I need to take with or leave behind. My car desperately needs a wash (and body work and paint job, and.....) so I'll probably do that today in the midst of work and a movie with the family. We'll see how things work out...

On the Road Home

Hey all, I had a great time driving home from Rexburg on Friday afternoon. after clean-checks, i grabbed lunch and started out. i stopped in Chubbuck to visit my sister, Rachel, and my nephew Connor, he is such a cool kid!! Anyway, after visiting with them for about 30 minutes, i drove off into the setting sun and took some pretty cool pictures on the way. I'm way proud of myself for being ready, 'cause usually my camera has no battery life left to take pictures or even look at the ones i have taken. So...here they are, some wicked cool, Western-Idaho sunsets.

Time to get this started

So, this is my first experience blogging. I figure, it's worked for others, it's about time for me to get started as well. Just a bit about my current situation: I've just finished my third semester here at BYU-Idaho and am very pleased with how things have turned out. My plans at this point...I'm gonna go home, spend just over a week with the Fam and then move up to the Seattle area to install alarm systems for Pinnacle Security. It worked well for me last year, so i thought I'd try it again and actually come away with some real money to show for it instead of spending it all in the course of a summer. I'll be at that for about five months, then I'll be coming back to college here in Rexburg. I am really excited for the summer and all that comes with it. SO...HERE GOES!!!!
