Welcome to November

Well, the time has changed and that means that it is cold and dark early. Misarable. We are in our first home and it is so much nicer than being in an apartment. We bought a dog named Ni'cko, who is an alaskan malamute and we both love and adore him. He is one spoiled pup. He is 40 lbs and just shy of 5 months old. I will try to update this more and more from now on.

First Home!!!!

I will try to be better at updating this blog to keep it more current.

Disneyworld part 2

Sorry it has taken a while to get back with you. Let me continue the Disneyworld trip story. We did two days in the Magic Kingdom, mine and Angie's favorite park. Can you tell by looking at the above picture that Angie and I had a blast. The castle at Disneyworld is so spectacular. We had breakfast on mainstreet, and then went to Tomorrow Land and rode Space Mountain and other rides. Space Mountain in Disneyworld is a lot like how I remember it in California the first time I ever rode it. I think that I was around 8 years old. We did the carousel o progress, where there is a great big beautiful tomorrow. We rode Buzz lightyear, it is a bit different than in California. It is a fun ride, but you can not disconnect the gun from the pod to shoot. We rode the people mover, which Disneyland used to have. It is a great relaxing ride.. We took pictures around the park. We did the comedy stage with Mike on Monsters Inc. We rode the autopia cars. We then made our way around to Fantasy Land, there we did Winnie the Pooh and Snow White and Peter Pan rides. We also did Small World, which is a lot shorter and smaller in Florida than in California. After Fantasy Land, we made our way over to the Haunted Mansion. I love that ride. Frontier Land is a lot of fun. We did Big Thunder Mountain, which is a bigger ride in Florida than in California. I have mixed feelings about it, because there are good and bad things to both Big Thunders at California and Florida. I did Splash Mountain on my own, 2 or 3 times. I did a no hands run twice coming down the steep drop. We also made our way over to Anventure land, where Pirates o the Caribean (however you spell it) I was able to see the new additions they put into the ride with Capn' Jack Sparrow. I love that ride. It is a bit different in Florida than in California. We also watched a minnie "show" of Pirates with Capn' Jack out in front of the ride. We couldn't do the Jungle Cruise, because it was closed. We did go and see the Tikki Room, which has yargo in Aladdin, it sucks in Florida. I hope they never change it in California. We also ate the pineapple whip, which is sooooooooo gooooooooood. We watched the parades they run and we also ate turkey legs. Our last day there at the Magic Kingdom, we met some Brazilians and made friends with them. They were from Sao Paulo, where I served my mission. I loved talking to them. I was shy to speak Portugues, because they speak it and it has been a while since I have spoken it with native Brazilians. Brazil people are great people, fun and loving. I miss Disneyworld. We did so much stuff. I wanna go back, but wanna go back with family and or friends. As a side note, I was a star at Hollywood Studios back lot. I was an actor in a movie and loved every minute of it. Angie and I were both stars there. She was in Indiana Jones and me in the Back Lot. So much to do and so much to see. I love going. I feel happy there at Disneyland or Disneyworld. I am grateful Angie took me as a surprise after graduation. I hope this hasen't made you bored. I will try and keep this more up to date. I will also try and put a slideshow of our Disneyworld Trip. OH, that is right. We alo went out to Kennedy Space Center and did tours of Nasa and all the stuff there. I loved it. I have always seen it on T.V. and never imagined that I would see all of it in real life. We hit Coco Beach, where I couldn't help stop thinking of I dream of jeanie. The sand on the beach was really soft. We got there a bit late, so we couldn't swim. We ate our subways on the beach and soaked our feet in the Atlantic Ocean. The water on that side of the United States is a ton warmer than on the California side. We had a blast and hope to go back one day. That is about all for now. I hope that I haven't left anything out. I will just close now and include a picture of our new Brazilian friends. PEACE OUT YA MUGS!!!

MOM AND DAD FAREWELL DAY!!!!

So today was the day that my parents gave their "farewell" talk. They got their call way back in February and are in the MTC for a week starting tomorrow. Lot of mixed feelings. Couples missions are so much more laidback than my mission was. Not saying easier by any means, just saying that you can go visit, call, they can have a television in their place etc. I know they will be great missionaries, and i am way excited for both of them and excited to get letters and learn about that area of the country. They are going to be at the Southern Virginia University mostly doing work there. They are both teachers and will knock the ball out of the park. I am way proud of both of them. I will miss them, but i will also know they are doing the Lord's work and helping people know happiness. Friends Adam and Misty and their two boys Aaron and A.J. and Adam's mom came, that meant a lot to us, probably more than they will ever know. Well that is about all i have for now. I am poooooped, looking for a job and trying to stay busy. I am proud of my parents. Later ya'll.

Disneyworld May 11- 21, 2008

What is going on? Been a while since I posted anything on the blog and figured I should update myself and my family. Let us go back in time to May 11, 2008. Tis a fine mothers day, Angie and I are at the Salt Lake City airport waiting to fly out to Orlando Florida. We boarded the southwest 737 aircraft and flew out and landed in St. Louis where we picked up some more passengers and went on to Orlando Florida, where the sky was blue and the humidity was cruisin'. We landed and got on to the tram that took us into where we could get our luggage. With the humidity, it was a good time pulling all the bags we took. We finally found where we were supposed to go, after walking around aimlessly in the airport. Orlando airport is huge. We then got our baggage checked and boarded onto the Walt Disney Magical Express.
That is Angie on the buss in the above picture. We drove for a while and we watched a Disney introduction dvd that they had on the bus, it told us all about the different parks and things to do while we were there. We arrived at our resort called the Walt Disney's All-Star Movies resort. We got our room and lugged our baggage to the room. When we got there, Angie sat with maps and plotted out our game plan on where and when we were going to the parks. We stayed in the 101 Dalmation section of the resort. Once we were settled, we went down and got a drink and kicked it by the pool for a while until it began to rain.
The next day, we woke up early and got all ready and headed out for our first day in the parks. Our first park was MGM or Disney's Hollywood Studios. I loved this park, it shows how movies are made and Angie was an extra in the Indiana Jones show.
Isn't she hot? I think so!!! We both loved the park. We did rides like Star Tours, and the Backlot tour, which shows props from famous movies and t.v. shows. like Home Improvement.
It is a way cool park. We also did rids like Rockin' roller coaster, which is an amazing totally cool ride. It is with music from Aerosmith and just a complete blast. We also went on Tower of Terror a few times. Angie loved Tower better than Rockin' so one time I road Rockin' and Angie went on Tower. We saw shows like Beauty and the Beast and Fantasmic, which are really good. Took pictures on the streets and in front of the Mickey hat. We road the Great Movie Ride, which takes you through time and the evolution of movies. We saw the Little Mermaid show and One Man's Dream, which shows you the history of Walt Disney and how things came about. We did voice overs, We tried to ride the new Toy Story ride but we missed it by one day. They opened it the day we left to come home. The second day we were at MGM, we did all the same stuff and I took my picture at Star Tours with my head put onto a Sith's body, it looks really good, i will have to post it later. We also saw the cool stunt show they do with the cars and things and show how they do chase scenes. The park was awesome both days we were there. It is probably my second favorite behind the Magic Kingdom.
We then went to Epcot and loved that park as well. The first day we didn't like it as much as the second day because we didn't do it all the first day and did the rest of it and found out that we loved that park. It is a park of total fun and learning at the same time. We did Soarin' and the Nemo ride and Test Track, which is a way cool ride. You ride in a car like a test dummy and they send you through all the tests they do to real cars. Total blast, they take you out and get you going over 60 miles per hour. We went through all of the countries and did some rides in Mexico and the Netherlands I think. They were really fun. We ate dinner in China and again in Mexico. Mexico dinner was really good. We sent postcards to friends and family. E-Postcards, and did mission space and spaceship earth and saw what mine and angies futures were going to be like. That is the ride in the golf ball. We also saw Ellen's show and ride and did the Living with the Earth Ride. There, you see new ways they are groing plants and how big the vegetables and fruit are getting. We absolutely loved that park. We also did innoventions, which is a place where you learn how they are making the earth a better place. I drove the garbage truck and angie and i sifted through our own trash and recycled. We also saw the home of tomorrow and i gotta say it rocks with all the new technology. That is me out front of Test Track, a favorite of ours.
Well that is all I have time to write about for now. I will continue again on the rest of the parks and our trip. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back. So much to write about. We took over 400 pictures and filled up 4 video tapes. We loved it. Catch ya back here soon!!! Peace out!!!!

It is all over

Hey all, took my last final in accounting today and handed in my last final. It is officially done with until graduation on friday. I thought i would be really excited, but i have had a day full of mixed emotions, i have worked hard at the U and have made a lot of new friends that i will miss. I am spent, later!!!

My Last 2 Weeks

I sit here on a Sunday afternoon, working on homework. I look at the calendar, and notice that I have two weeks left of stuff and then I am done. Peter Murphy song, my last two weeks comes to mind. This week I will have three more finals done and out of the way. Last week I took one final and finished up on my business ethics class, which was a great class. This week I will turn in my video project, write a paper reflecting on my time at Orem High School, and then take a final on Friday for my Internet Marketing class. After Friday, that will make 4 out of 5 finals done. My last final is the most brutal one.....Managerial Accounting!!!! That one is on Tuesday of next week and will mark my last final of my college career up to this point.
Three weeks from today, Angie and I will be in the air flying to Walt Disneyworld in Orlando Florida. I am excited. It will just be nice to get away from everything and be able to relax and have a good time together.
Well, I have broken the trend in postings lately. Wish me luck these last two weeks. I will need all the help I can get.
Peace!!!!!
