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!!!!
