Halloween Family Home Evening Party

This year I celebrated Halloween a little early this year because I had to work on Halloween night. We had a ward party at our bishop's elementary school where he is the principal. The theme for the night was Noah's Arc so you had to come as an animal and I chose to be a panther. My roommate Brandon helped me with my face and overall it was a lot of fun. The girls in my FHE group dressed up too so overall all of us had fun. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

Happy Anniversary Judith

Today, May 12, 2012 is the anniversary of my girlfriend and I Judith. She is the most wonderful girl in the world and I am so fortunate to have her in my life. I've never been so in love with a girl as I am with her. Exactly a month ago, I was down in Peru and we were touring Machu Picchu and hiking Waynapicchu. What a wonderful day! I got to see one of the wonders of the world and also got to climb the beautiful mountain next to it with the love of my life. Couldn't ask for more because I love hiking and I love Judith, so i got both in the same day so I was happy. Now the hike was brutal and tiring but we finally made it to the top after hiking up for about 50 minutes. At the top there was a bunch of rocks so we got to sit down on them and enjoy the view. It was wonderful but then something more amazing happened. I handed my camera to this girl that was at the top too so that she could take pictures of what was about to happen. I was nervous but was ready to do it. I at first wanted to get down on just one knee but i didn't feel very balanced on top of the rock so I just knelt on both knees and asked her to marry me. She was in shock but eventually got over it and said yes. What a day, Judith and I got engaged at the top of Waynapicchu and now we've been engaged a month. Crazy how fast the time flies but I'm just glad I'm in love and that I found my future wife. I love her with all my heart and couldn't be happier with anyone else besides her. I thank God every day for putting her in my life and me into hers. What a blessing it has been and we continue to be more in love every day. Overall, life is good and love is great. :)

Birthday Fun December 4, 2011

I had a great time. The night before we ordered pizzas and drank soda then watched a movie so it was lots of fun. Everybody was so full for cake that i decided to invite them all on Sunday the 4th, my birthday, to eat cake with me. These ladies are my friends and overall it was a great day. Life is good and birthdays are especially great when you can celebrate with friends. Thanks again friends.

Great Weekend in Salt Lake City

I know it's been a while since i have written last but I thought I would catch up and put some current stuff up of what I've been up to lately. So this weekend was a great time for me as I got to come down and see some friends and be with my part of my family too. On Friday night, I arrived in Utah and went to a Peruvian restaurant named El Rocoto, that my friends had invited me to. For dinner I order Polla a la Brasa Ensalada y papa fritas con inca cola. For those of you who don't speak spanish that would be barbecued chicken, salad and french fries with Inca Cola, which is kinda like a cream soda, really good.

We were there to celebrate my friend's birthday and got the oportunity to sing as a group with him since it was karoke night so that was a lot of fun. After that I left for my sister and brother in law's house for the night.

Saturday, was a day for helping my sister and brother law clean the house and organize it so we were very successful. We had pizza, salad, and root beer floats for dinner and then watched and relaxed a movie. The dogs were snuggling with me on the couch so that was lots of fun. I love them lots and overall had a great weekend in Utah.

weekend down in utah

So it's been a while since i last wrote on her but I actually have something good to say finally. I went down to Utah this weekend and it was amazing. Friday I headed down and took all the people that rode with me to their destinations. After that I finally arrived at my friend's house and talked to him and his fiance for a little bit then I headed to bed not too long after. I slept on the floor in a sleeping bag so i didn't sleep too well but I at least got to stay with my friend. Saturday was a great day. We all got ready for the wedding and then headed over about 11:30. The sealing at the Salt Lake Temple was amazing. It was performed in both English and Spanish so great overall. Overall we made it back safely and it was an amazing weeekend.

masquerade dance

Last night I went to a masquerade and it was a good time. It was a group date so we first went over to the girls' apartment and had dinner. After that we headed over to the dance, which was a lot of fun. At the dance, they popular music playing in the hallway and a live jazz band playing the main gym so you could choose where you wanted to go. We spent time in both so it was a good time overall. What a fun day.

BYU-Idaho

I arrived at BYU-Idaho once again on September 2 with my dad and it was a wonderful day. We were able to check me into my new apartment, in Jordan Ridge, which sits just right across from the temple so convenient to go to the temple at least once a week. We got groceries, came back unloaded, and then hit a session at the beautiful Rexburg temple which my dad absolutely loved. We then changed our clothes and headed to dinner and Applebee's followed by a little bit of relaxing at the hotel before being dropped off at my apartment which meant i had to say goodbye to my dad but overall it was a great day with him before he had to leave to go back to Salt Lake to be with the rest of my family. On Friday, i started leadership training for I-team leaders and it went well up until i had to go to the doctor late in the day because of chest pains. This pain went on for a few days but after taking medication and taking care of myself i got better. The few days we had with our freshmen in our group was amazing and we got to get so close to them through devotionals, lunch, games, and even a hike to mesa falls which was beautiful. I'm going to miss them but i hope to keep in contact with them while i still have a couple of years left on this campus and i hope they grow through their experiences here at this wonderful campus. Classes started on Sept 9 and they went well for the first couple of days. Overall I'm enjoying school and my classes are going great. Pictures shall be posted later
