i hope they call me on a mission...oh, they have!

well, it has been too long since i wrote last. a lot has happened in these past few weeks since school got out. because school has gotten out, friends have been leaving on their missions. kasper and landon are gone...our 4ordained is down to "two righteous". we were thinking of doing firesides without them, but we realized that it just wouldn't be the same. well, i have gotten my mission call since school got out and i'm going to california ventura speaking english and i leave july 8th! i am so excited to go on a mission! i have been waiting for 19 plus years to go! it has been a mix of emotions as eveyone's lives are changing, including mine! well since i don't leave for another 33 days, i have a little bit of spare time...and to fill up my spare time, i've been attending 6 institute classes at the U, working for my neighbor building a cinderblock/cement wall (a lot more work than you might think), and starting this next week, running sports camps with rob! so i'm keeping pretty busy as the days go by.

as i am writing this post, i am sitting at a table in enterprise, utah! for those who don't know where it is (which is probably most of you), it is halfway between cedar city and st. george in the middle of no where. but funnily enough, in the middle of no where, there is a lot of fun to be found! in the past 24 hours i have been 4 wheeling and i ate at the pizza factory in st. george and i have played the guitar and i have relaxed! of course, when i get back to centerville i'm going to have to be shot back into reality and back into working hard everyday...yippee, i can't wait...! welp, i think this should be adequate for now.

oh, on a more serious note, i have been helping out rob allen and ryan larsen lay some sod at rob's house and i was trying to pick up a shovel by tapping it with my foot and letting it fly up and catch it but...the 4th time i tried it, i hit it too hard and it smacked me in the head--my face, right next to my eye!! ryan and rob were laughing their heads off. i hate when fate has that planned for me. rule of thumb: don't do anything you only see in the movies cause it can happen in real life. ouch. :(
