Summer lovin, having me a blast

Well this summer has treated me pretty well. I was in a better financial situation this summer compared to last summer so I was able to come home and have some fun. While off from school, I have still worked for Poobah Marketing doing alot of video and social media work, so that has been a huge blessing. But between that and summer break, it has allowed me to have a pretty relaxed and amazing summer. Right after school got out, I went down to Bear Lake with Taylor K, Sam H, Miles B, and Jordan G. We stayed with TKs family and met his cousins. Some of the pics are below. We spent the time there hanging out, swimming and four wheeling, and we had a blast. It was a nice get away and we had enough raspberry shakes to kill somebody. Bear Lake is known for their raspberries, so we capitalized on that. But all in all, a great week! 

After that I went through Utah on my way home to Colorado. I saw a few friends and was able to reconnect with one of my besties, Lucy Tingey. She just got home from serving a mission for our church. She went to Japan and had an amazing time and experience. It was really nice to see her and catch up. I look forward to seeing her again soon. 

Once home, i settled in and did some work and just enjoyed beautiful colorado. I was home for about 2 weeks and then I took off to Arizona to meet up with my friends Sam, Taylor and Annalisa and all of Sams family. We then went down to Sams property in Rocky Point Mexico. We were right on the beach and had an amazing time relaxing, eating tacos and drinking pina coladas. (no alcohol of course) But that week was so nice to be able to take a break and have no set schedule. We just did whatever we wanted. Enjoy some of the pictures below and the link at the bottom is to a video from the trip. We made a music video. haha

But now i am back at home. Just been working alot and going to the gym to swim and get in better shape. Swimming is pretty hard and i really need to keep doing it. School starts in about 2 weeks, so things are wrapping up. To finish off the awesome summer I will be heading to NYC this week with my Dad to watch the US Open for Tennis. We will be there to enjoy that, sight see and have some good father son time. We will also get to meet up with the Dennys, which I am stoked about. But I will make a post about the trip and have some pics for you too.

All in all, life is great. I have been blessed this break and I am excited for a new semester.(pretty nervous too) haha. 

Until next time.

My Choice

Today I experienced a situation on a social medium where someone(who wasn't having a good day, obviously) decided to ridicule the idea of religion and how "stupid" it is. It was interesting to see the original attack by this person and then to see the replies. Some were just as bad as the original comment. They were putting the person down for his comment. All I could think as I read this persons original comment was "how sad." I commented on the medium and said, "Thats a bummer. I feel sad that you feel that way."

Honestly, I do.

I cannot imagine a life without religion. Yes I was born and raised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or what you may call a Mormon. But yes, I have been this way my whole life, and I am so thankful for it. Being raised in it was essential in who I am today, but I still found out on my own that this Church was true.

Sometimes I have these thoughts about the Church and what I would be doing if I didnt believe or knew, and  all it ends up doing is giving me a headache or making me feel uneasy. Needless to say, I am nothing without the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It has defined me as a person and helped me grow in many ways.

So back to this person earlier. I hope that they get the chance to really feel Gods love. I hope they come to understand their worth and see how amazing life really is. It is sad to thing that people do not have a relationship with God, not a pitiful sad, but truly a lowly sadness comes to me when I think of that.

The Gospel brings truth, it brings light and it brings eternal happiness. Enjoy your life, make it count and live for a purpose.

I made a personal choice, me, myself and I am forever thankful for that choice. I have found purpose.

Much love,

Sunday's are great

Today is Sunday. Just wanted to express my gratitude for the gospel and my Heavenly Father. I love the fact that we have a day to reflect and focus and get better.

Enjoy it.
