August 28, 2008



Well it's been awhile since my last blog but I'm going to do my best to write what has happened since my last post. I finished summer semester in the nursing program on the 18th of July! I ended up getting an A- in my GI/Cancer class, an A in Psych nursing, and an A in Metabolics. I really think I should have got an A in GI/Cancer but my professor wasn't the easiest to work with. I'm finished now with the Freshman year of nursing school and will start my 1st semester as a Sophmore this Fall on September 9th. My brother, Dave, got married on the 25th of July to Laura Wright in the Newport Beach Temple in southern California. Dave and Laura have moved to the Mckinney/Plano area north of Dallas, TX and are getting situated there. At the end of July through the first couple of days of August I went with some leaders and the youth to their high adventure trip to the Wind Rivers north of Alpine,WY. We hiked four days which included summiting Freemont Peak (13,745 ft)! The picture shown above depicts some of the guys that went on the trip, along with myself, drinking some water at the Summit of Freemont Peak. The trip was outstanding and strenuous but definitely worth the views I was able to see and enjoy those four days. Roger, Rachael, Rick Telford, and I are planning on summiting the Grand Teton in two days if the weather calms down--especially the wind. In my spare time other than working out at World Gym or walking around the river, I've been playing Disc Golf at Freeman Park here in Idaho Falls. I've enjoyed playing and being able to relax before hitting it hard again when school starts this Fall. Garrett this past Sunday was ordained and Elder by my dad as he obtained the Melchizadek Priesthood! I was really proud of him for his desire and choice to receive the Melchizadek Priesthood. Well that's about all I can think of at the moment of what's happened--until next time.
