Thought I'd published this last semester...

I guess since this hasn't been added to in about 3 years it's time to do something with it. I still don't know how much I'll be updating this but I figured I'd give it a whack with the few free minutes I am taking right now.

Life has been pretty crazy in the last few years. I finished my mission having served in five areas (2 for 5 transfers - which is a lot; and 3 for a single transfer or less). I had 9 wonderful companions during it all and am friends with every one of them still. When I got home I stayed in the country for approx 5 months and left the continent again for Asia to pick up my brother in the Philippines. It was great, I loved the Philippines; Brett and I are talking about starting a water-buffalo ranch there someday - we'll make bank!

Then I came back and did another crazy year of school (which was supposed to be my last but BYUI just won't give me up). So instead of graduating I went to Jerusalem for a semester. Best decision ever. I learned so much, had many incredible experiences, went to amazing places, made some great friends and came to know Christ better. What more could one ask for? (*Note - I made a blog just for that semester http://jerusalembells.wordpress.com/)

And now, I'm here in the Burg, working on (what's supposedly) my last semester before student teaching. It's pretty crazy trying to learn as much as I can, do well in school, and have a balanced life all at the same time. Suffice it to say I rarely, if ever, succeed at it all but it's interesting trying! Brett and I have fun and once in a while I get to see my roommates. That's life. Completely unique and unoriginal. Well, I should get back to it. Have a good one!
