This weekend Brittney and I had a good time. We got our house picked up and were able to fiind the time to have some fun. On Friday we went to dinner with my sister and her family at Tepanyaki. It is kind of like Bennihana's in Las Vegas. Is that how you spell it? Everyone liked it. Sophie got nervous when they lit the fire to cook in front of you, but she liked the finding Nemo fish that were in the fish tank. Earl also took me out for a round of balls at the driving range which was really fun. I hadn't whacked a few balls in a long time. Saturday we picked up around the house and then went and looked for a dining room table for our home, We found one that Brittney really liked. I liked it too, but I was sweating when it came to the price. But that probably is every young man who just got married hopefully. I dunno maybe not. Afterwards we went to the Timp temple. That was fun. After that we took some pictures because it was sunset and we saw this baby bird in the driveway of the temple. It had fallen out of the nest. If you remember from an earlier post in the year we came across some baby foxes. well this time a bird.I looked around hoping to see its mom but I really couldn't tell. I felt bad, but I didn't know what to do, so Brittney tried to get the bird up on the grass becuase it was walking in the gutter. She got a cone and brushed it up on the grass, but in the process she kind of scared it into a drain and it fell down the drain!!! She was so upset, I secretly laughed, but it was kind of sad. Least it fell into the drain on the temple grounds though. After that we went to sonic to get some drinks for the AF CIty Steel Day's fireworks show. That was fun. I got the Island burger it was so good. If you haven't tried it get it, becasue it is amazing. We enjoyed the Steel Day's show. Sunday we went to church. In Sunday school we talked about Korihor the anti-Christ and how he was struck dumb. Lesson learned; don't tempt God for a sign just pray for an answer if you need one, and listen to the spirit. I really like our Sunday school class. I like studying the BOM in Alma becasue with the way the communities were organized such as the Nephites and Lamanities in Jershon and other cities; it is just like how we are today. Politicians trying to get gain and lie to people. Tell them what they want to hear, and secret combos. All that stuff is going on in our society especially withing the government. It is sad because I love our country and I love America, but you would be foolish to not recognize its fast deteoriation from a dominant righteous nation to a dwindling people of unbeleif and lovers of themselves. But its just a fulfillment of prophecy. After church our good friends Shaun M and his wife came over for dinner. (Unfortunely, we didn't have our table to eat on yet, but we can't wait til it comes so that we can have even bigger parites come over like family and all their kids & Brittney's family.) It was fun we were able to catch up and enjoy pork tenderloin, salad, potatoes, and green bean casserole. My wife did a lot of the cooking and she did a really good job. Shaun is waying his options for law school right now. He is looking into several schools, but UNLV and BYU are on his list, so I encouraged him to be a Rebel at all costs ha! ha! Today is also our good friend's birthday Derek Jappe. He turned 24 like the rest of us. I called him up and he is out protecting the streets of Las Vegas Nevada on graveyard, as a metro police officer. Happy Birthday Derek!!

Stinging Nettle
For those of you who don't know what stinging nettle is, don't feel dumb I didn't either until my brother-in-law explained it to me. It is a plant that will basically make you itch and you can find it up AF canyon. Brittney was so intrigued that she decided to see if it actually did sting. Luckily for her it didn't affect her that much, but I trusted my brother-in-law enough to leave it alone. We went for a hike with my sister's family the other day, and it was really fun. I think the name of the hike was called Angel Flatts. I don't know much about AF Canyon, but it was really a good time. We hike maybe a mile up the trail stopped and had dinner with the kids. We almost got all the way up the mountain without a "meltdown!" Annika just couldn't resist though haha!! As I am sure you can tell by the picture. I should have gotten some audio of lion attacking an impala becuase that's what Annika sounded like up the mountain there for a while. It was funny though. The Soph slept on her dad's back most of the way. Brittney and I had fun. It reminded a little bit of my days in Philmont at the age of 14!

Memories

Today at church in priesthood we had a lesson on the restoration of the church. But before the teacher mentioned the lesson he showed some pictures of things that have become really big. He gave an example of the iPhone and how big it has become, but just started out as an idea, and Steve Jobs probably didn't have the vision that it would become what it is today. Anyway, he asked the class if anyone had ever been apart of something great that is like world known or really popular, Nobody really was. Then he gave an example of how he is a yearbook teacher and how great it is when he sees the kids' faces when they publish a book each year, and he feels like he is a part of something. So when I got home it made me think about some of the past things that I have been a part of that in my little world I think are great. Mostly older things. So these pictures are to memories of some good and great things. Unfortunely, I don't have any yearbook pictures of me working on the yearbook. The picture of the kids was the a picture of our last FHE together before the Steven's moved to Utah that is why some of the other GKs aren't in there. One is of me and one of my best friends Shaun M playing volleyball when we won a state championship (This particular picture was the regional final) and the other is of the "little" our dog that Brittney loves so much. I wish she stayed this small. All great things, that to me, I have been apart of.
