Lost Treasure

I'm a free man finally! The boot and stitches are off my foot, and i'm ready to move on!

Ready for a new adventure, that's for sure :)

I found an old book that my sister sent me while I was in Honduras called "The Power of Attitude" and it changed my life once before, and it will again. Life is looking up!

Vital Paradigms

I've been given way too much free time lately, and it's all thanks to my foot.

After getting surgery, it's been a loooong wait and it gets longer by the day. With a week and a half gone by, i've been able to read scriptures, watch netflix all day, play nintendo, or read artsy philosophical books. I've done a little of each(some more than others, needless to say), and I feel like there was a point where i lost touch with the person that I was when i first came home from serving a full-time mission. So, i started looking through pictures, reading out of my "baggy" that i had other missionaries and members write in before i left, and stared at my set of scriptures, all marked up and in the lovely language of Spanish. I came home super motivated, ready to do whatever came my way with a positive attitude and the potential to do what I needed to do. Looking back I can see what's slowed me down a bit through these last 8 months. Haha, to be honest, i'm a bit ashamed of myself for letting me just be okay with it for this long. Waiting for others to come around doesn't change your situation, the time to act is now. I could care less how "cliche" I sound by saying all of this, I just feel like I need to put this up to vent, or whatever. Everyone, just be yourself and take opportunities that come to improve yourself, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of change. Becoming refined is what we should all aim for.

By the way, my mustache is coming along nicely, just in case you were wondering. Have a good one!

Come what may, and love it.

Life's definitely taken a big change. Lot's of friends are going on missions or getting married, family is growing always, and i'm finally leaving. Yes, i'm going to Utah. The last place i've wanted to go to for quite a while, and now it's where i'll be living and going to school. But, despite all the negative things I could say about Utah, i'm excited for a new page in my life.

So, the reason why i put that phrase as the title is because lately i've been learning to not be so quick to judge others and just enjoy life. You know, just not get upset over things i can't really control. I over analyze too much when i have time to think things out, so i'm better off not worrying about certain things and just letting time take it's course to see where it leads me......

With the new year, i've been able to stay strong with my goal of going to the temple at least once a week, and it's been amazing and helps out so much with my life. If you haven't gone in a while, just go it's always worth it trust me.

well, i have a couple of job interviews that i'm hoping to get taken care of next week while im up there so i can make the move as soon as possible! Life is gonna be sweet in a couple of weeks!

Stay fresh everyone. Stay fresh.

Oh, the weather outside is.......??

I couldn't tell you what the weather is like these days. it was around 87 degrees just the other day and its been rainy and foggy ever since, i prefer sunshine always :)

As for life updates, working full time is getting the better of me, but with lots of stuff to pay for it's pretty necessary. Gotta get dat paypaaaa. Christmas is always exciting, everyone knows that! It's kind of weird being pretty much the only kid in the house this year though......last time i had Christmas at home there were about 4 or 5 of us living here. Guess that's what happens when people get married and go to medical school haha. But, i'm sure it'll still be just as good to spend time with my parents.

I'm super excited for spring semester of school and to be roommates with none other than Ryan Fairbanks, it's gonna be BOSS. I'm glad that things are finally sorting out in my head and that i'm actually able to make a decent decision- and STICK to it. We'll see what life's gonna bring until then though. Making lots of new friends every week and loving it for realsies. Hope you all have an awesome week, stay freshhhh.

this is how life should be for everyone, hope that it is!^^^

Void Vacancy

It's been pretty difficult these last few weeks to figure out what it is i'm going to be doing once winter passes along. It seems that the time has come to set new goals before the year ends and be able to actually complete them. Sometimes i feel like there's way too many different factors that are present to determine what i should be doing with my life, because those same factors pull and push me in different directions.

I know that being a podiatrist is what i'm set on becoming. The hard part is deciding which school to attend in order to fulfill that path. California, Utah, Idaho, Hawaii, all could be studied and given pros and cons (weather for example) but it all comes down to what God has in store for me really. I should do what feels right, and for once do something for myself and not because i thrive on making other people happy and doing what they would have me do. I figured that in this case no matter what i chose i wouldn't be able to please everyone anyways. It's hard thinking so "selfishly" after thinking about others for 2 years non-stop. I don't like it, but at this point there isn't much else to do. I just hope that in these next couple of months i'll be able to accomplish all that i'm aspiring for. Other than that, these are awesome things ive done recently-

Sweet Venue where i heard Parlor Hawk and Desert Noises, AMAZING.

went mountain bike riding in utah

Bowling, an old/present past-time

Life is awesome.
