A JOB!!!

I always knew that Julianna and I were close but I didn't picture myself quite following in her footsteps.

Timberline called and offered me a job today and I am stoked out of my mind to take it!

I can't believe it's actually happening. I'm really going to be done with school just to go to school.

I have talked everyone's ear off about the job opportunities and interviews and want to thank you for all of your input. I felt that the Lord really had a hand in this one and that's always a good feeling to have.

This is a video that a buddy just emailed me. This was one night after midnight and getting home from the anatomy lab. We were eating popsicles on the stairs and well idle minds meddle....

SNOESHOEING

Leti and I went snowshoeing today and it was awesome!! My calves were burning as I was trying to keep up with her, and when I was in the lead I was really kicking it in to high gear so I wouldn't be one of the slow people that she goes hiking with and tells me about.

She really didn't want to be caught on camera so there isn't a lot but here an inside moment to my life:

I hope these work!

welcome December!

Finals are on their way. I feel like there should be another month of school. Crazy, right!? I'm doing quite well in school this semester but feel like I should be trying harder somehow. I have a few papers left and presentations to sum up but other than that...cake walk.

Could it really be just one more semester o

f course work? I feel like I've been going to school for so long I won't know what to do with myself. Well of course I'll get a job and all... but it will be so different.

On another note. I have had so many people setting me up on dates lately. I visited the Spanish Fork ward the other week and after sacrament meeting the high councilman and I were talking and he gave me his little sister's number. We went ice skating and had a good time. Then an old mission buddy gave

me his wife's second cousin's number. Not to mention my own efforts. Ah, the life of Reedo.

I am totally loving life right now. It's not perfect but I am seeking to do and be the best at what I am doing. Life is good!

Lastly, here is our third cousin, Andrew George, scoring the winning touchdown!!!

The Sin Bin

My team lost tonight. I set a new record for myself. I was thrown in the penalty box 3 times. I couldn't believe what was going on. Then this little guy came skating down on our end and I hit him into the boards so hard. He was super mad and feisty. He jumped on my back and just started swinging. The guy had to be 5' nothing and weighed 120 lbs. I knew if I started swinging back, it would have been malicious and I would've killed the kid. I love a good physical game but don't hit the ice looking for a fight. We lost 6-4 and I blame myself as 2 goals were scored as I was sitting watching my team play a man down for my zealousness. In the words of Rocky Balboa: "There's some stuff down in the basement." I suppose I get most of it out with that one hour a week on the ice.

pumpkin carving

The other night I went on a group date with some of the boys and the wonderful residents of Apt. 212. We all had a blast. We carved pumpkins. Have you ever wondered where the pumpkin carving started; I have. Before I get into that too much I have to announce our pumpkin was modeled after the Monsters Inc. character, Mike Wazowski. What do you think?

Origin of pumpkin carving

Vegetable lanterns have been used for a long time during harvest season. this would illuminate fields and block the winds from blowing out the flame. They haven't only used pumpkins for this and in Europe turnips were a favorite for many years. Although these lanterns were used in agrarian societies they were only associated with American inline with Halloween. Evidence of the carved vegetable lanterns aren't associated with Halloween until later in the 19th century. Lastly, the carving of lanterns is worldwide but the word Jack o' lantern is almost exclusively associated with America. ..... God Bless it!
