It's Been a While

10/22/2005 Well I guess that it is time to do a blog entry. It's been quite a long while since I have done one of these, so we will see how this goes. I guess I can start off by telling why I haven't done a blog entry in a long while.

It all started when pesky school started up. It's really been lame because it's been a lot of work, which if you know me I am not partial to. Typically I wake up for school at about 6:30am (with the occasion when I wake up at 9am and skip school altogether) and then go to school until 11:30am or 1:30pm Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday respectively. From there I go to work for Under Par Golf until about 6pm at the store. I then head home and get a bite to eat and work for another 4-5 hours for Under Par.

At this point my Mother and I typically read the Book of Mormon and then we go to bed. Now this isn't the same everyday because some days I do homework as opposed to work, so it's all a delicate balance. This is only Monday-Thursday though, Friday I don't have school so I go to work from 8:30am to 5pm. It's a bit of a break, but not enough I must tell you.

On Friday I pick up Parker to spend time with over the weekend. Parker is a blast, I wouldn't trade the time that I get to spend with him for anything in the world, I just wish I had more time to spend with him. Unfortunately, as much as I like to believe, he isn't much into me doing homework. Usually my weekend is a bit unproductive school wise (though I'm sure blogging isn't too productive either, but meh, it's big news).

So yea, that's a brief overview as to why I have not been blogging lately. Things have just been a bit busy, busier than I thought it woudl be. Parker is getting much bigger, and starting to get to that point where he's almost crawling I guess. . . He is rolling over a bit and starting to be very vocal.

On Sunday I gave a talk on Elder Bednars October 2004 Conference Talk entitled "In the Strength of the Lord". From what I have heard from some Bretheren and Sisters in the ward is that the talk was enjoyable. I am so happy that it went well since the night before at about 8:30pm I did not know as to what I would like to say.

On Sunday, October 30th I will be receiving the Melchezidek Priesthood (which is why I am blogging). I am so excited for this great opportunity in my life. I am also very excited as I will have the opportunity sometime after to bless Parker. It has felt like an eternity to come to this point, but it has only been a about half a year. I look forward to these events with great anticipation and excitement.

Well I must bid adieu for now since I am a bit tired, but I hope that I will be able to update everyone about my doings and happenings more often then just once every big event.
