problems with posting

hey i guess there is a problem with being able to post. Im trying to figure it out. I think it might have to do with the new spam filter that they put up. Sarah and Matt! Thank you for that video! made my day.

Update

This last week has been pretty rough for a lot of reasons. I don't think that I have felt this many different emotions since my mission. In that way it's refreshing but in a lot of other ways it takes me back to times that I would have liked to forget while serving. I know that because of those things I am better and stronger and in the back of my mind I have those memories to draw out and learn from. At the same time it helps me to understand how weak I actually am. I have a lot more to prepare for that's for sure...in my global citizenship class we are learning about cultural interpretations and the different kinds of ways that people can be irrational. They can be irrational based on culture (where they grew up) or situational (like being stuck in traffic and getting upset) or by "awfulizing" which is when your culture will make something worse than it needs to be.

Justin and I wrote a letter to Katelyn and sent some pictures of ourselves to evenly distribute to the cute sisters out in the field. Sure it's an investment, hopefully we can benefit from it ^^ School is going pretty good. I have "A's" and "B's" and a high C in Macro Econ. Work is still going good. I picked up a 5 am to 9am shift this Saturday so that should be interesting because I close the night before ha ha. so Ill be at work for 4 hours then take a nap for 4 Hours and then be back to work for another 4 hours. It's all good as long as the monies keep comin.

Denver

Downtown Denver. It was really nice to go there and meet with very powerful and wealthy individuals. What I thought was interesting was the types of people that would work at these different places.
A purple suburban! This chick was rockin it too haha.

we rented a van and our leader drove us around to where we needed to go. The weather was really nice because it was 85 degrees and slightly windy. So it was still nice wearing a suit and white shirt. The guys that were in my group were all married and in their last semester of school haha they were looking for a big job interview and all we really got from the companies we visited was a more "our business 101" and not a lot of job placement/internship opportunites.
We made a lot of good connections with people and I hope to keep in contact with them for the future.
One night we went to a mexican place and had dinner. It was really good and they gave us sooo much food.
We went to the corporate head quarters of Red Robin and it was an amazing building!

we visited red robin, target, baileys moving and storage company, CXO (networking company), flagship services, marriott hotels, amplifire, karsh and something lol I forget. All of them were really good, some were better than others but others were really good. good trip.

Jake in town!!

On Sunday my apartment threw together a BBQ and I was in charge of the Corn so I called up Dad and asked him what to do to grill the corn. They turned out alright, I definately learned what to do and what not to do for next time.
parts of the corn were done really well but others would have been better with more butter haha.
Late Friday night Jake Vp and his girlfriend Nikki came to Rexburg and that next Saturday we drove to Mesa Falls. It was sooo nice out.
We would have caught her if she was going to fall. After the day was over I showed Jake that picture and he was like, " awww she was holding onto the rail?...." hahah I love that guy.



This was one of the look outs on the way to Mesa falls. When we got back Justin took them to Sammys ( a local Ice cream shop) and after that I took them to the Sand dunes. we wandered the dunes for about two hours haha looking for this hidden lake. We didnt end up finding it and i think its become a inside joke to say " its just over those next dunes i swear!!" when you have no idea where you are haha. Then we went to Gator Jacks, this penini place and then Kiwi loco, a soft serve ice cream place. after that we were all tired and we met up with Chanae and watched a movie at her Apt. It was a long day but really fun. It was great to see them. This up-coming weekend Chanae and I are going back to Boise to hang out a bit. She wants to go garage saling with Mom, i guess she is quite the Sailer herself. should be good.
