Fall Semester 2010!

This here is Mic (short for McKlin) and his birthday was this past Tuesday. You can imagined the shock when we presented him a birthday cake packed with frosting and fudge.

He was pretty happy to dig in.

This is our apartment minus one. From left to right: Zach, Mic, Joe, Me, and Little John

This will be a good semester for sure!

Well, it seems that every time I go down to Utah, I have a great time. Thanks Deb for your hospitality. Love ya !

Seattle Homesickness

Okay, so, living in Rexburg has a lot of good points:

Lots of single girls your age, fun things to do, college resources like pianos, music tech labs, a library, and a vast genealogical library.

Unfortunately, the one thing that I hate about Rexburg is how dry it is! My sinus have never been the same and my hands constantly crack and bleed. Geez. Plus, it snowed 2 weeks ago. That would never happen in Seattle. I miss Seattle's moisture.

Spring's Semester's starting!

Well, I haven't blogged in a while but now that I have a new computer that will change. I have been working at wal mart trying to save for the new semester but find myself unable to because of the financial burdens I'm placed in require a large sum of what little money I have. This makes me more determined to be sucessful in life and be able to have a comfortable lifestyle.

My grandfather passed away this week and I drove with a friend to attend the funeral. Grandpa Wickard passed away only 75 days after his wife Doris passed away. The funeral services were well done and my Grandpa received a military burial for his service in the army. I'm proud of who he is and that I have the opportunity to pass on his legacy. Thank you for joining the church and allowing me the opportunity to hear the gospel.
This is craters of the moon in eastern Idaho. It really looks like your on the moon!
Here is some typical mountain scenery found all over the mountain west.
And yes I did go over 100 mph in my little ford focus. It was sweet!

Lifting-Burdens

I saw this video and liked it a lot. I hope everyone enjoys it : )

Doing whatever

Man I tell ya, finding a job is one of the most annoying things in the world, especially in this economy. In Rexburg, I had a job at Wal-Mart, but I were to transfer to another Wal-Mart, it would be impossible to transfer back because Rexburg is a college town any everyone is looking for a job and they would replace me so fast it's not even funny. So, here I m again surfing the web seeing if anything pops up.

I tell you one thing though, Seattle is a really nice place. After living in Idaho and Las Vegas for a little while, I've come to the conclusion that Seattle beats the pants off any other state.

Any way, I have one quick story. Monday, I was helping my sister organize her garage and I ended up spending the night because she need help the next day. So, after we had all climbed into bed, about a half hour later we heard several gunshots right next door. We all jumped out of bed to secure the situation. My sister called 911 and my bro-in-law grabbed his gun in case anything went down. The police were there in literally a minute and they secured the premise and to my knowledge no one was hurt. Tacoma is a scary place to live.

Orchestra Concert

Well, it looks like the semester is coming to an end. Soon I'll be enjoying Christmas dinner with my family and be making new Christmas memories. We just had our fall/winter concert where we playing a variety of different music. My favorite was the selections from Carmen that we played. We did quite well and I'm so glad I was in Orchestra to relive some fun memories. On Monday, we had an Orchestra feast. I ate two giant breakfast burritos, a pile of fruit, a banana nut muffin, and I washed it all down with some minute maid orange juice. This picture has all of the cellists including our conductor, Bro. Call, on the far left. Happy Holidays!
