A Quick Update

I have failed to keep this upto date lately so this is a quick update, hopefully I will expand on some of these things with there own posts in the near future.

work:

I no longer work at the hotel. I am now a security guard at a carreer school in Rancho. I work fewer hours but get the same take home pay and there is a good chance for promotion. but this means I have less internet access than before hence fewer blogs.

adventures:

Jordan and I went back to the waterfall in ASRA that I think I have mentioned before and set up a really cool tyrolian traverse and I got really bad poison oak.

Dallas and I spent a saturday last month wandering around looking for a trail that had a bad habit of dissappearing on us. We eventually gave up on the trail and went rappelling down the North fork dam instead.

I took Devon, Jordan, Tawny (whose name I misspell), her freind (who name I don't remember), Brian, Felicia, and Steve into the American river canyon at Echru Bar it was a enjoyable day for me but the goal of going rock climbing was never realized. I did however go rappeling off a bridge and into the very cold water of the north fork.

Camping with the Fam. We just had a family reunion at Prosser creek resevoir in truckee. It was alot of fun we went rock climbing/ rappeling near donner summit and I spent enough time in my kayak that I got sunburnt on my legs (I hate that). I also got to bake bread in dutch ovens, do liquid nitrogen ice cream and, made LN2 depth charges that kept going off in the air. also got to learn some cool stuff about the high seirra and its early settlers.

Girls:
as always a complicated part of life.

I finaly reached personal resolution over what happened with marquel about a month ago, and have moved on.

Christie is engaged, that happened very quickly and raised some complicated feelings in side me. Not that I have been carrying a tourch for her but I don't want to see her get hurt and it seemed to me initialy that with as fast as things were moving that was likely to happen.

I have been on quite a few dates many with Ryann and I think I really like her but I am moving slowly as always.

Church:

It would be in acurate to say my testimony has had problems but my obediance has definatly had a hiccup or two in the resent past. I need to get my daily prayers back to what they should be, that would make a big differance.

I also need to restructure my quorum presidentcy, Jordan just left for his mission and one of my councelors moved out of the ward. I submitted a list of names to the bishop but because of people being here just for a few weeks more some of those names won't work out.

Crystal came to church with me twice this month and that was really cool.

...

Well that is about it. I hope to write more about some of these things in order to have the record more complete but this is better than nothing for now.
