enjoying 4th of July
leading ward prayer, the weekly event


my roommate kraig and me working on my rodeo after it blew a spark plug.we put oil in it b/c it was out. i was slightly frustrated at this point, as you can tell ;)

and the long awaited, much requested, and soon to be highly commented photo of me and michelle. i'll keep up my search for more photos as i anticipate this will naturally be the next request;)

what to say...

i figure it's about time i made an update on this blog. i've been waiting to get some photos from some friends of the happenings in the last month. i'll just give you the story version, then i'll give you the picture version when i can.
so first of all, i finished spring term classes. i took book of mormon 122, and physics 121. BofM was pretty easy, and physics was tough. all in all, i was pleased with my performance. i studied hard the whole semester and finished with an A in BofM, and an A- in physics. i'm happy with it.
I also stopped working custodial on campus at the end of spring term. its good to not have to wake up at 330 anymore (or go to bed before 9). its good having a social life again.
speaking of social life, i've been dating someone for almost a month now. Her name is Michelle, she's from Virginia, really cute, and strong in the church. sunday i went to her sister's house, had dinner and met all of her brothers and sisters. it was pretty fun :) things are going pretty well between us, we'll see what happens.
on the employment side of life, i'm working now at an inbound call center for Dish Network. the pay is pretty good, 10/hr plus commission. i get at least one sale a day, so its not too bad, although i only work part time. i'm looking again for another job.
as you may have heard, i picked up another job last week doing sales over the phone which was alright. the commission was pretty good, and i was doing fairly well. notice that i say that i was. i was laid off thursday the week i started. ... they didnt have enough leads for the number of people that they had working, so they let me go. too bad too, i was getting the hang of it. they'll call me back in a couple weeks when they have the new leads, and if i dont have another job by then, i'll start working there. as for the MTC, i called them a couple days ago, and they said that my application is still active, so when a position opens up, i will go in for a second and final interview for the teaching position.
all in all, i'm doing pretty well. if any of you want to talk, i have a webcam on my computer, and i would love to chat.
love you all!
