Last week I got the chance to go to the wedding of one of my really good friends! My favorite part of the whole experience was seeing them enjoy eachother's company and not even noticing the hundreds of people surrounding them.

 It's really cool to think that we can with someone for eternity.  One of my favorite parts of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is the knowledge that we can live with our loved ones for eternity.  There is something more after this life, and for me that wipes away so many fears that envelope the world today of this life being all we have.  All of that begins with the decision we make to marry someone and commit ourselves to them forever.  I love that god allows us to make these covenants with him and gives us the opportunity to enjoy blessings that can only be experienced through obedience.

The hardest job there is..

I have heard of a many different jobs that are demanding and time consuming but this job is by far the hardest job there is..

The definition of selfless service is motherhood.  They virtually sacrifice their own lives for the lives of their children, and the only payback they ask for is to see their children's happiness.  Like it said on the video, the hours for this job are very flexible, the job is "135 hours - unlimited hours a week, and there are no breaks available."  

 Let your mom know she is important, tell her you love her, write her a note, spend time with her, ask her what you can do to help out.  I promise you she's worth it.

 The gift of motherhood is a gift from God, and it is the highest, and holiest calling.  Most mothers face an overwhelming schedule and are pushed to the extremes.  Our mothers are willing to do just about anything to help us be happy. What are we willing to do for them?  I love my mother and I am grateful for all she does for me. 

"Either you let your life slip away by not doing the things you want to do, or you get up and do them."

This week was great! I had school, work, and many other activities that made the week fly by. In the years of our youth, life seems to go by slower, because we are fascinated by every new experience. Our daily ventures into the unknown keep us occupied and our days are filled with adventures.  Most people seem to lose this excitement and the drive to enjoy their experiences as they age.  It is a sad reality, but losing this adventurous attitude lets our life slip away before our eyes.  We need to love life and all of the experiences that come with it, whether they be fun, hard, new, or old!

This past week I was able to go up fishing with my 2 brothers, a friend, and our grandpa.  The fact that I have been fishing many times throughout my life did not take away from the fun I was willing to have.  It was a simple trip, we caught fish and we were laughing the whole time, enjoying ourselves and the time we all had together. 

Its as simple as this:

Finishing up finals and going against the odds!

Finals at BYU are officially over for now!  That means I had about a week to go mess around with my buddies until summer classes started up.  That's right my summer was 5 days long this year!  But I was still extremely excited for the chance to go out and mess around on the dirt bikes for a day out in northern Utah.  The odds were not favoring us as we woke up at 6 in the morning to head out, it was pouring rain, my buddies bike's seat was broken, it was freezing, there was no room in the truck, when we started filling up the gas tanks the digital screen typed in 666 all on its own, and many more signs that we shouldn't carry on with the trip presented themselves.  But we decided to do it anyways!  Long story short, we had a blast out there, pushing it to the limits and having a great time, even though all of us came home injured from the days adventures it was still worth it in my opinion! "You've got to risk it for the biscuit!"
