Happy Fathers Day!

The other day we all came back from a softball game and Paul rode home with me in my car. He kept talking about how cool it was going to be to get big so he can play baseball and his Dad could be his coach. I remembered the old Days that Dad was my coach.

Thanks Dad for all the great memories. The best way you showed me your love is by sacrificing for us kids and trying to be a part of our lives. I loved it when you would take me out to play ball, go camping or even work with you (I don't enjoy the working with you as much now that I'm older). I Love you so much and am forever indebted to you. Hopefully I'll have the chance to one day be a Dad like you.

Your Eldest Son,
Neil

Happy Father's Day!

To the man who let me dance on his feet, made us waffles on Saturday mornings, rarely lost his temper, taught us how to rollerskate and ride our bikes. Thank-you for my wonderful childhood!
I love you, Daddy

Finals...

Well this last week has been finals week...and it is weird having feelings similar to senoritis when its only my freshman year! It might be because I know I am not coming back for a while. Anyways, this is a picture of what my desk has looked like for the past few days. Its been so fun studying! Tonight is my last night so I decided to take a break and post. Monday morning I had chemistry and it was harder than I had thought it could be. I have a music history final in the morning and will be all done tomorrow evening when I turn in my English portfolio! I would appreciate any encouragement you can give! I'm excited to go home, but really sad to leave UW. I have made some really great friends and I realize this could be my last week in the dorms. Dorm life is awesome! I will post some pictures later after our going away party for the end of the year. Anyways, two more days till I go home!!!! Love you all!

From Sea to Sea

The day after we got back from Oregon, I took off for Virginia. Amazingly, I forgot my camera again! So I picked up these postcards. Wrigley Field for my cubs fans (I had two layovers in Chicago) and this is the beach we visited on Saturday. Delee and I also tried letterboxing, which was fun, but the kids didn't enjoy as much. It was great to play with Jaxson and hold Ehlana. Besides our scary adventure, I had a lot of fun traveling to new places. I missed those boys of mine, though, even more than I thought I would. Thanks for the hospitality, Delee and Steve.

Hey Y'all

Hope everyone had a good week! Mine was pretty great. This was my best week of work yet and I hope it gets even better. I got to work on my car so everything is now legal! The windows were a little too tinted and The EGR Valve needed to be cleaned. The weather has been nice and I'm feeling more comfortable with the surroundings. It's been a lot funner getting to know people now, too. I got two callings in the ward, ward missionary and district leader in the Elder's quorum, which pretty much means I ask about how home teaching went each month. It's nice to feel like I'm responisble for something though. That's about it for this week. Hope you all are doing great and have a great week. I love you all.

San Francisco

Call me a dork if you want, but I'm not gonna lie, I love taking pictures from airplanes.

Awesome view, Beautiful day, Cool shirt...what else do you need?

choir standing in front of Grace

The only thing the bridge reminded me of was watching Full House on TGIF

Hello Family. A couple weeks ago I went to San Francisco on choir tour and never got around to posting about it. I also don't know how to do slide shows and what not so ill just put a few of my pictures up!

It was a really fun trip, a little different than high school tours, and that was good in some ways and not so good in others. I loved the airplane ride alot and got a window seat both times (yeya!). During free time the ultimate activity was when a group of us from the choir rented mountain bikes from a place called Blazing Saddles (yes, the name had something to do with us doing it) and biked to and across the Golden Gate Bridge. Wow what a view! And at the middle of the bridge, it took 13 seconds for my spit to hit the water. It was amazing weather, and I got a sweet farmer's burn. But it was worth it. I also ate at In-n-Out (sooo delicious) and saw the sea lions that live at pier 39 on Fisherman's Wharf. As a group we went to this place called twin peaks (i think?) and it was a huge hill that over looked the entire city and bay. It was awesome! Gotta love San Francisco! Love you all!

Pimp my Ride...

Or My Pimp Ride! So here's some pics of my new car. Hope you enjoy them. It is rather fun to drive and this weekend I got the stereo to work. Other than that, work is going great. I'm doing better and getting the hang of things more and more. It can get a little frustrating sometimes, but I just got to tell myself that somethings take time. I'm not very good at the whole taking time thing though. I'm getting to know more people as well. This last weekend, I got to go down and stay the night with my old roommate. Provo seems really cool in the summer. I don't think I have a whole lot more for news. I love you all and have a great week! :)
