#9: politics politics politics....

we are close to the end of the election. we are kicking into gear and now it seems that the burden of these elections fall on us few.. 3 of us. 3 people who have lives, who have wives who have other jobs are now carrying the burden of this election.  it is up to us... we succeed and we all won..but if we lose, it is us 3 or failed... The election more difficlut than it could be but nothing worth doing is easy.

i enjoyed doing seminary this morning. the kids are starting to warm up and Megan is so knowledgeable of the scriptures and so willing to teach. this calling will be very rewarding.

megan is a great woman...my back is starting to get better so we will be able to start being us again. she has been so paitent with me it is awesome.

tomorrow i have the lesson for seminary i am nervous cause i have never taught the bible before, but looking forward to being able to get the chance to teach..

alrigh off to end the day.. night y'all

8: first day of seminary

megan was great.. i enjoyed it.... i think that Megan wants to down play my pre conversion life... and i think that it is part of the why i came to the gospel.  but we will cross that bridge when i come to it. for right no wi am jjust chillin and doing my thing.

i finished my first lession tonight and i think it will be quite good. i love to teach, so it should be fun.

i had a wonderful time at work today...debates and hiring people and getting down to the streach all things considered it was good times....

facebook is drama central for people after a debate but that is normal for the life we live... people are sooooooo strong behind a key board..but so weak in their face..

as is life...time to hit the sack and get ready for the next day.. only 14 days until election...

#7: The missionary went home.....

my journey through the LDS church as started by Clint. But the education of the gospel was brought along by 2 young men. 2 missionaries called of God and prepared to serve.  These two men are Elder Mckenzie and Elder Hastings.

i met elder Hastings before Mckenzie (or Mac as we lovingly know him).  Mac has already returned home from his mission and we have stayed in contact checking up on each other and making sure each one is doing ok.

Hastings..... what can i say about this guy. He started his mission the same time i started mine. My mission was to become a better person, his the same... we have both found the joy in the gospel, me learning, living, and loving it. him teaching it saving people's souls. showing them a brighter day.

This man has transformed my life. he is the one who i felt comfortable with to be able to open up to the gospel for. I am truly greatfull for all that he has done in my life. i feel closer to this man then a lot of peopel in my life. I can't wait for him to be back home and we can visit more often.

one thing as i sit back and remember this night is that he is the same person i met 2 years ago. he has grown as a man, but the spirit is still with him, the knowledge is still with him and i am honored to know him.

i look forward to a long friendship with this man...and excited for all the good his has caused in people's lives..

#7: one week done... getting in the groove

so i have journeled for 7 days straight. kinda the biggest streak i have ever done and i am still working on it.

today i got up early and hurt very much bad!!! my back was killing me, my leg was killing me and i could barely walk. i took a ton of advil and started my day.  Megan and i decided i would sleep on the cot becuase that is firmer than our bed. so we shall see how well that works out.

I went to work, and got off early. it was nice cause then megan and i got to see a movie together. I love spending as much time as i can with her. it is difficult now with my schedule, but i am trying my hardest.

we ended the night at Tristen and Lethie's house. THEY RULE. we really like them. we have a ton of fun when we are with them and play games and shoot the bull. We did miss out on Clint and Amanda's announcement of new baby (it is a boy), but we had plans already and not one to break those plans.  

it is awesome the life we have. i love my wife very much.  i am so greatfull that we found each other and in days of frustration and pain i know that we can count on each other... even if we are mad at each other... i love her....

cheers to the end of the night... tomorrow is going to be busy with church and seminary planning and OH MY!!!!!!!

#6: an easier day, and day with my wife

friday was an easy day for me. i was able to get up without too much pain and go to seminary.  we did scripture races which was a ton of fun. I enjoy going to seminary. i enjoy learning about the gospel in a more indepth way.

i was talking a few weeks back about how i want to go back to school and i miss studying. The lord has come through i am in scripture college right now. I love how Heavenly Father answers our prayers.

It was a slow day at both jobs and i was off work by 4 yesterday.. but i was asleep by 730.  giggle. Megan and i were watching the giants game and i just passed out. it was needed up i was up by 6 am so i see my body is getting on track for waking up early and i am pleased about that.

I have been hesitant about writing about my back issues, but if i want to keep an accurate record of what is going on i need to address this here. I have had chronic back problems this past year. it has been rough and this is the worst of it. I have done internet research and find that i have some disc problems, but until megan and i can get health insurance i can't do anything about it.  would be nice if obamacare kicked in i would be able to go a low cost, but right now that isn't an option.  so i will get health insurance and go from there. we will get through this..

lets get this weekend started...politics and wife time... lets do this...

#5: slept late and got stuff done

Today i woke up early and my back was killing me. i could not sit through seminary without hurting..but things are almost getting better.

i got back from seminary and slept for 4.5 hours...waking up back at 1130 just in time to head over to the dems office to get some work done. we are getting down to crunch time. We need to get the vote out, we need to make sure our guys are getting elected.

i have been faced with a lot of things lately. one of the big things is what i will be doing after bar results.  i think that politics is the way to go. the job i want, the career for me. this is what i want to do. I have Plasha and Jimmy on my side. with that i think i will be able to pull myself into this career and a great place to start.

Once things into place we will be in a better place to make the decision.

Megan is wonderful, she asked me tonight to mention that she pretty.  She is. i love my wife. today is 2 months that we have been married.  She is awesome i am so lucky to have her with me. She is truly the best part of my life.

Seminary tomorrow...and i need to get things going on my end. I need to study the scriptures and make sure that i am ready to keep things going.

until next time..this is my journal, it may not be much but it is a daily reminder that I need for when i write my life out....

#4: Good day of politics great night of scriptures

Today we had a very chill political day. event out at the college and some good forums. The republicans hired some very nice looking ladies to campaign for them and it didn't really work.

The dems represented very well. We talk to some potential voters making sure that they got the vote out. There were some students who had NO idea that what they were talking about. that is normal.

we went to seminary training and we are getting ready to take on the class. this is going to be difficult but it will be awesome as well.

i am trying to write everyday... but this is hard...soon after the elections ill have more time, until then.. short posts of being positive...
