This is me my Third year in school
This is me my 2nd year in school
This is me my 1st year in school.
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.
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.
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.
This is the Mother's day card I bought for Mom, I got the last one! Seeing that every other card like it was a birthday card I decided that I would break the tradition and get a pop-up one.
This is where I work, I do laundry, Eat, Do home work and Fold clothes. Sounds a lot like home, I just get paid haha.
We Slide there card and have touch screens to check them in and out with. But we mainly use it to look up people we know and to pull up their student ID pictures. Its our own little stocker net in the Locker room.
This was Chanae before She went out for a girls night (while I worked) Thats usually how it goes. Her roommates aren't getting tired of me anymore because I have to go to work when they want to play with Chanae. It's a delicate balance that we have to keep.
Every time we close I am soooo tempted to jump in and swim for a while. No one is there, its dark and the only light is coming from the pool....soo cool.
This is the New MC to the left (outside the picture) is a HUGE food court but for some reason we dont have any franchises in there so its just good school food. and the place is relatively quiet due to the carpet and acoustics of the building.
They are going to build an amptheatre out there. it should be done by the end of the fall semester so I hear.
The new skywalk. its really warm. It links the MC to the Library.
the "C" Mom made for Chanae's Birthday. She pulls it out every now and then and oooos and awes lol Her Mom Really liked it too. Speaking of which, I think I hit it off really well with her Mom this week. I was nervous at the beginning but today when Chanae was at class I took her to great Harvast and we got a muffin and sticky buns and talked about how She can tell that Chanae is relaxing a lot more since I have started to date her and that everyone at home can tell that there is something more easy going and receptive about her. Her Mom and I had a lot in common actually. She grew up in Hawaii and had nearly all the korean food I have had, even the crazy stuff! We high fived a lot while Chanae rolled her eyes. I think the kicker was when we played Apples to Apples. I would almost always pick her Mom's card and She Would almost always pick mine hahaha. I think I left a good impression. We'll see tomorrow though when its discussed over the dinner table. Chanae promised to fill me in on how I did.
A week of no shaving...
It does this to you!
I visited mom at work, she made a pretty sweet "C" for Chanae's Birthday cake on the 21st. She didnt want her picture taken but when you hold the camera, anything is possible.
Granpa's Birthday, pre Birthday
I fixed a sprinkler for grandpa for the second time. I think there might be more fixing in the future. lol
Kahoots wings!!
Cathy working on some crystals.
Kahoots bread pudding. soooo gooooood.
Jason invited me to play a game of indoor soccer with his team. We were winning for a good portion of the game and then the other team tied it up the last 3 seconds of the game to 5-5. Jason wasnt very happy but we got in the hot tub after and that felt soo good cuz my legs were killing me!~
I think she's warming up to me.
She is by far the easiest baby to make smile. you just have to look at her and she gets this HUGE grin on her face. I love it.
Im growing my beard out this week
Dad made some really good Chili in his pressure cooker.
On Saturday we went to the driving range and Dad out drove me everytime haha
before then we helped fix Anna Mercer's fence with the High priest
Walmart parking lot.....need i say more?
