So for the Scavenger hunt we have coming up I'm torn in between asking two girls. Both of the ladies are long shots y I know that they more than likely will not be able to go, but who knows.
The first girl is my friends sister in-law y another friends really good friend. She's from VA y I really do not know her. I put the ball in her court asking something dumb if we could talk one with another only to ask her about the scavenger hunt, but yeah we really do not know each other.
The second girl, I knew back in High School y as fate would have it, we have recently been put back in touch one with another. We've been hanging out a lot over the past few days. The only thing is that she starts school on the 25th of August at USU y I think that she is wanting to go back to Logan on the 23rd.
I dunno if I should keep waiting for VA to respond or if I should buck up y just ask USU to go to help team black win.
If both fall through, I'll be looking for a girl that is super competitive, funny, not totally freaked out by hanging out with random people y doing random things all day. So if any of ya'll know anyone, let me know!!!

Super FELIZ
All I can say is that there are many things people take for granted. I recently have lost something that I had loved so much before only to do something stupid y lose it. I am now or will be soon able to enjoy it yet again.
I am humbled to see how lost I was without it y how much I've longed to be there y feel the wonderful spirit that is contains. Just a few more days y I'll be able to be whole yet again!

The Third Annual Event
So the other day my mom mentioned how we should do another scavenger hunt this year. That is all the motivation that I needed to invite others to participate in our adventure. For all of ya'll that have no idea why this is such a big deal let me explain the history of it.
If you have never seen the movie Scavenger hunt, then you shall never understand it. It is a movie that pretty much is a scavenger hunt (Well a HUGE one). A bunch of people want the estate of a dead relative, so they need to complete there list by the end of the day. Well my mom took that movie to heart y when I was on my mission, she set up a huge group date with my little brother y his friends. All I heard about it, that it was a lot of fun.
Well 2 years later when most of the original participants are home we did the 2nd scavenger hunt. One of the guys didn't like the time of the first one, so for him we shortened it y it seemed that we didn't have a lot of time to get all of the items. It was enjoyable, but in the end my team lost by 10 points because we read a clue wrong.
This year we are making it longer y we have now cut out all of the pictures y videos. It'll be purely grab y bag. We figure the more items that we can fit into our park the better it will be. Also my team has decided that we need more competitive girls, so that they will not allow Kenny y I to slack off.
If I could compare the teams this year to last year, I'd say that there is a more competitive spirit about them, so it will be entertaining.
Again to all of those who are involved y read this, you will lose. I'm sorry. Team black will not lose!

The Timp Adventure
It was a late night last night, well I never really went to bed. So the adventure started as Zac y I were sitting on the hood of our ride waiting for another friend that we hadn't really talked to in a years. Well Darcy arrived y we embarked on our adventure.
Well it all started off with Zac y I needing something to tide us over for the evening, since we hadn't eaten all day y were about to Subir Mt. Timp. After our little side trip we got lost looking for the Cavemen high school. We maneuvered the car through the neighborhoods of AF, only to be encountered by a sign that read; "Road Closed". We were faced with two decisions, knowing that our destination lay on the other side of the sign, we decided to ignore the sign y take the road anyways. Nothing exciting happened y we arrived at the school to meet up with the rest of the group.
Now as we continue this story, let me put into context who went with us, you had Miles(me), Zac, Darcy, Erin y the young ones. The young ones were guys that Erin knew y invited to come. They all were 18y very immature. After spending 5 min with them, I realized how young they really were, we're talking about their mentality. We piled into the truck y took off towards the trail head.
The hike up to the summit of Timp, was peaceful. The moon lit our path as Zac, Darcy, Erin y I, silently as possible made our way up the trail. We left the young ones a ways back, as we were quite annoyed by the loudness of them all.
The silence of the mountain brought peace to the soul y a better understanding of why Satan is trying so hard to destroy the silence. You really could feel the presence of our Lord as we were awed by the amazing view that we had.
Right before we subired the cliffs of insanity we were awed by the view of Happy Valley. We could see from Provo to AF y then some. The lights filled me with wonder y put into my head, what am I doing to better help the people I know.
The only thing that brought those thoughts to a halt, was the cold wind that was bellowing from all directions. We sought out shelter in the little hot dog stand on top of Timp, but were not fortunate to warm up, so we decided to all cuddle one with another. To shorten the story, I ended up with a guy laying on my legs, as my legs were on top of Erin y Darcy was wrapped in my arms. It wasn't quite comfortable, but it gave us the little body heat that we needed to get through until the sunrise.
On the way down the Mt. Zac, Darcy y I took another way. We cut let on the first bank of Snow that we saw y had to make our own way down to find a new trail to go back on. We pretty much did everything just short of scaling down the face of a cliff, but do not worry it did cross our minds. By the time we made it down the Mt. Erin had taken the other people to their car, so we had to wait for her to make it back to the base of Timp y take us back to our car.
The ride home, was entertaining y hilarious. I wish I could remember everything that was said y done. Just remember that when I am tired, I am not accountable for my actions. I had been awake for 30 hours straight y I actually sang along to My Two front Teeth while dancing with my hands y driving all at the same time.
The trip was enjoyable y I want to do it again!

BYU y Looking for the one
So I've recently read many blogs y have talked to a number of females that are attending BYU that have all told me that they are really here for the whole. "Find a good Mormon Husband" y do the BYU thing. My first reaction will always be, "Why are you here then?"
In my mind you go to college to get an education y not to find someone to marry. I'm not saying that getting married is not important, but why pay $1,750 if all you want to do is get married? It seems like a really expensive dating service to me. I know that I'll have people tell me that we're supposed to get married y further along the kingdom of God, which I totally agree with, but who says we have to do it within 2-5 years of graduating? Show me where it says if you are not married by the time you are 30 that you are a horrible person?
To those who have the mentality that if you go to BYU you will find true love, I say take a step back y really find out what you want in life. If it is not to go to school y just find a guy to be with, then I say don't waste your money. Find a job, save up money y move into a apt complex. In the end, you will save a lot of money y you will have that social network that you need to find someone to be with. This also applies to males.

Random pic
So this is a random picture of my two cousins on their first ferry ride. I am not a photo taker (sounds better than the real term) but I enjoyed y still enjoy the moment that I captured with my camera.

Fear
Does fear rule this world? Does is have an effect on our decisions that we make? How many times have we not done something due to the fact that we were afraid to do it, because we did not know the outcome. Fear is something that stalls us in our progression in bettering our lives. I'm not saying that we shouldn't allow our children to play with strangers or anything to that regard, but those gut feelings that we have, as in; I should call X person to check up on them, I should say hi to him, etc.
I recently read a book, that explains that people are afraid of things that they do not understand. I completely agree with that. Before I do something that I have not done before, I have a little fear inside of me, but it's conquering that fear that will help us achieve our true potential.
To those that let fear run their lives, I say get out of your comfort zone, because you are missing out on so many wonderful things. Don't sell yourselves short on new experiences that will only help you be a better person. If you make a mistake, take in the lesson learned y move on, do not dwell on it or worry about making mistakes. You are not human y you will mess up.
Just be responsible for your actions but do not fear life. There is so much potential in each y every one of us. Are we living up to that potential? I say not all of us.
