Adjusting


Yes, I know it's been quite some time.But, with so many new things going on, I feel it'll be worth your while.

So, throughout the summer I finished up selling pest control. As much of an experience it was, I don't think i'll be at it again....and as for work currently, i'm back at vivint! But, in a way better department with Garen Russell the Love Muscle in Retention! If I had been there from the get go I probably would have never left! The money's been a great blessing to let me pay for school and everything else i've been needing. Speaking of Garen, we're now roomies, living in a cozy little duplex in South Provo where i'm able to enjoy things such as naps in the park, because there's a park like 50 feet away from us. Awesome huh?

I'm finally back in school again, at LDS business college, with the hopes and aspirations of transferring by next year to a 4-year university. It's keeping me busy and I like it. My classes are pretty sweet, and I have a genuine interest in learning more about it too.......funny, but rewarding for me. Salt Lake City is amazing, and i've got to see so many cool things in the last couple of weeks, not to mention an R.E.I. store that made me want to run away to the wasatch front and backpack for a month. Being out here in Utah has made me appreciate nature a little more and the beautiful mountain view I have on a daily basis. It's been getting pretty cold recently, like in the 40's and 50's out here. I'm getting used to the cold i guess, but I could still use a little warmth here and there.

So, after some thought and consideration, i've decided that i'm gonna train fro a triathlon! Like, the real deal. I just bought a new pair of asics to run in, and as much as they were expensive, they were sooooooooooooooooooooo worth it. My p.r. has been going down a minute a week almost! I'm actually enjoying it haha. Now, all I need is an awesome road bike(whenever that happens) to proceed. I just joined a bowling league as well, another love of mine, and i'm doing pretty well. Just got a 199 last night, and i'm upping my average by the week. Let's go pro here people.

Well, to end this, I thought I would give a cool quote I heard. It's from one of my favorite authors, Henry David Thoreau. Here it is-

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."
Henry David Thoreau


with that, i'm hoping that everyone is enjoying one of my favorite seasons of the year, and doing something different than you did yesterday. When we do the same thing everyday, things feel so ritual. God wants us to progress, in all aspects. Just take it one step at the time. Stay classy.
