#21 Conclusion

This blog was quite and experience. Will I continue on with it? Who knows maybe one of you will come back years from now and read this and I will have thousands of entries. Maybe not. I guess you will just have to check. This has been quite the experience and it was been fun telling the stories of my life because wow do I have enough to fill a book. But for now I say goodbye, good luck, and to infiniti and beyond! (Buzz Lightyear 1994)

#19 HOLY WAR!!!

The Holy War. Ever heard of it. For those who have not its an ultimate football battle every fall between BYU and the U. This year my friend gave me amazing seats. I was so close to the field. Then, on my way to my seat I fist bumped Elder Holland. He gave me a very stern look and with a firm voice said "Go Cougs!" Then if you know anything about anything you know what happened with the game. After exiting the field and heading home Lauren and I went to Pizza Pie Cafe. It was so tasty. I loved every bite. We then came home, watched DaVinci Code and I went home and went to bed.

#18 The Drive Home

We hit the road dreading every second of the long drive. About an hour out of town we decided, well let me rephrase that, Lauren decided we were going to stop at the outlets to do a little shopping. A couple hours later off we went. The mountains and valleys we made it back safely. The next morning we went back to Costco to return our DVD player. The lady just scanned it back in without even checking to see if everything was in there. We could have completely stolen the DVD player. But its alright, we are honest people.

#17 The Ultimate Phone Call

On Friday morning I was preparing to leave to head back to Provo. Then, my phone decided to ring. It was my Dad. This was interesting because I had not heard from him all week. After brief small talk he decided to tell me that he had gotten engaged the night before. I didn't know how to react however, I'll be honest it was quite a shock. Who knew. This should be a funny couple of months though thats for sure.

#16 Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving day was great. The usual start to the day for me. Sleeping in and waking up to muffins and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. After Santa Clause made his appearance at the end of the parade my day was in full swing. We played some ping pong in the backyard and then at dinner around 4. The wonderful spread consisted of everything a Thanksgiving dinner should. After a short nap and some pie it was movie and bed time. Sad night because I was leaving the next day.

#15 A Wednesday in Arizona

In the middle of our week home Lauren and I had a jam packed full day. We went back to H&M because Mom wanted us to get some stuff for my brother. Lauren had to also take back some stuff that she decided she did not want to keep. That night, we went and saw the movie The Blindside. It was such a great movie. Everything I wanted it to be. After that, we went to Dave and Busters and played some way fun video games. We won almost 10,000 tickets!!! We bought so many cool prizes. On the way home we hit up In and Out and that was that.

#14 Arizona

The first couple of days in Arizona were wonderful. Lauren and I went to H&M for some shopping. It was so wonderful and amazing. I got so much stuff and for such a great price. Lauren scored pretty big too. Then we went home and just hung out with the fam. That night I got to go to one of my favorite restaurants which really made the night great. The next day was much of the same relaxing and we rented Four Christmases and watched it that night. How wonderful

#13 Convict

So, taking a step away from the trip home, I forgot to blog about one of the most important things that happened to me 2 weeks ago. I was driving to get some crazy bread and things were going great. Then, I didn't stop at a stop sign all of the way and ended up getting pulled over. Horrible....but not the worst part. After the usual traffic stop routine I was informed that I had an outstanding warrant for a past ticket. Long story short, $209 later and a ride to the police station I posted bail and went home.

#12 The 10 Hour Journey

Well we finally got on the road around 2:30 pm. Hot dogs in hand, snacks ready, gas full, and of course the all important mix CDs. We hit the road and hit the road hard. Not stopping for anything except gas. My hot dog from Costco ended up giving me really really smelly burps which was not a good thing for this long of a drive. But anyway, things went smoothly and we arrived in Mesa, Arizona as planned.

#11 Costco

On our way out of town we decided that we must stop by Costco to get gas. Reason for this is that the gas is in fact cheaper there. Then, since we were there we might as well browse for a few minutes and grab a hot dog for the road. So, we began browsing. What did we end up finding....a sweet portable DVD player. It was great 9 big inches of screen and a car charger. This would for sure make the drive better. But, what would we do with it after. We decided that we would just buy it and take it back after the trip. WOOOOOO!!! Great Idea!!!

#10 Call of Duty...a disease

I must comment on how much of an addiction the game of Call of Duty really is. You can start playing at 9 at night and before you know it, its 6 in the morning and the sun is coming up. Its okay though because you were able to destroy hundred of terrorists in the process. After I decided to find a cure for my call of duty disease, I decided I should pack my bag for home. All I had to do now was wait for Lauren to get home and off we would go.

#9 Thanksgiving...the days leading up to

I was preparing last week for my wonderful trip home to Arizona. Me and my friend Ryan decided we could only find one logical thing to do with this extra time. Clearly we must play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. We drove to multiple Blockbuster locations and could not find a copy anywhere. Infact, a certain store decided to send us all the way to Spanish Fork because they supposedly had a copy. However, when we arrived there they did not have a copy at all. We ended up finding one and the weekend was underway.

#8 Journal or Blog

I am getting the feeling that this is more of a journal to me. Something that I don't write in every day. I have had so much happen to me the last couple of weeks that I will just make many entries and tell everyone about these exciting/not exciting/weird things going on in my life. Journals are an interesting thing that you can only get to when you have time but for the sake of the actual purpose of journaling I should probably be writing in this daily.

#7 Rain or Snow I don't know

Will it rain or will it snow...I don't quite know. I am excited that it kind of feels like winter today. So much going on this week that I don't have two seconds to do hardly anything but its alright because I get to go home in just over a week! I can't wait and I am so so so so so so excited. I love my new snowboard I got last season so much and oh my gosh the snow this year will be so amazing. I WILL HAVE TO STUDY EXTRA HARD NEXT SEMESTER!

#6 Customer service....cont.

Well I constructively addressed the bad customer service issues. We called Taco Bell and spoke with the manager, reported the incident, complained till his ears basically bled and in the long run received 2 free combo meals for the incident. Now I am sitting in English class waiting for my my amazingly wonderful classmates to read this and become a follower. Then again, why wouldn't they already be followers...I mean...I am me for crying out loud.
