Something I've learned and hopefully won't soon forget.
This conference was very constructive!
First a background story. This summer I was flying out to Hawaii for my cousin, Brenn's, wedding. I was so pumped for the flight I had a book, a few sudoku puzzles, my scriptures, and a spare Book of Mormon to hand to someone on the flight. I was going to be flying in style, gettin' my spirituality on and such. As I boarded the plane I looked at my seat and next to it I saw this gorgeous blonde girl sitting there. I conflictedly put my scriptures and spare B.O.M.back into my backpack and stowed it in the overhead compartment, but kept the sudoku puzzle book and reading book with me. There was no way I was going to let this girl know that I was some sort of religious freak. I talked to her literally the entire 6 hour flight and had an amazing time, we laughed and joked and she was German and had a really cute accent. We talked about our future plans and ambitions and we vibed so well! We got off the plane walked over to the luggage area and waited and talked some more. But...I haven't seen her since, I haven't talked to her since, and I haven't even found her on facebook! I can't even remember her name! Oh wait...yes I do, it's Sarah. But the overall point is that what different path might our conversation taken had I not been afraid to keep my scriptures with me. Would I have maybe given her that spare Book of Mormon? Could I have kept in contact with her? Would she have converted? Probably not....but even still it's the principal of the matter.
I took one thing that is going to MAJORLY effect my lifestyle. And I think it's the hardest one for everyone to live, because it is scary! Elder Perry brought it up and it's found in 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear...he that feareth is not made perfect in love." I don't know about ya'll, but I am sooooooo afraid of sharing the gospel. It's easy to think that someone will judge you for your religious views, and it's easy for them to judge you for having religious views now a days. But had I not let fear trample my love for the gospel things might have ended differently in that 6 hour plane ride where the German girl was stuck with listening to what I had to say. Dangit! I'm going to find her! Well, I'm off to bed! Good Night!

CANNOT SLEEP!
Heavens to Betsy!
It's really late and I can't sleep. I laid in bed for 40 minutes trying to and just can't do it!
So I'll update everyone on my life.
Job: Work is terrible. I hate every second of it normally because it's so slow and nobody likes a kiosk man...I make really good sales for the company though and am among the top sellers for my kiosk. I am searching and searching for a new job.
School: Potentially, in one years time I will have gained state residency in the awesome state of Utard...I will then be applying to UVU and hopefully getting on to there wrestling program! Go Wolverines! Exciting I know. I have not decided what to study yet, but a few things are flowin' through the juicer right now and I guess we'll see how it taste after it gets to the cup. (I'm pretty sure that analogy doesn't work.)
Play: I currently only have married friends basically. I've had lots of chances to hang out with new people but they aren't as fun. I've become very accustomed to chillin' with my friends Sam and Emily Miller. Though I am looking to broaden my horizons.
Girls: To bad there isn't some sort of hex I can put up for this one. Nothing has happened in this department and I'm not really trying very hard to advance in it either. I did cuddle with one girl named Lindsey, (Why do I always end up seeing girls with some sort of variation of this name?), but then I never heard from her again. Am I a bad cuddler??? I don't know....I don't think so. BUTTTTTTTTTT...Today I did receive a text from a girl that I gave my number to that I have had a crush on since I met her. That is all going to be saved for later though.
Spiritually: I have been doing awesome for the most part! Moving to Utah has benefited me largely in this department...I know right, who'd of thunk? I have a pretty decent ward, don't know many people from it, but I'm hoping to not have to work as late of hours in the future and I'll hopefully be able to do more with them. Scriptures are going great and now I just need to get into institute! But my hours of work also conflict majorly with that. It womps, but as goes life.
So that's the jist in my zone of the world. Hope everyone else is doing well! Love you all!

Coytainly.....
I have found that I cannot say the word certainly properly aloud until after thinking about it.
What might have caused such a befuddlement of the word you ask? Well the answer my dear followers is the movie Dumbo.
Growing up on Disney movies I have learned to appreciate such words as "pacydoyms" and yes the very word this blog post is about..."coytainly."
Do I ask that each of you embrace such a way of speech...no, but don't blame me if I do : )

Yahoo!
I'M BACK!!!!!!!!
No everyone I did not disappear! Except I'm sure for some that would have been bearable! I have moved to the great state of Utah......I've always been opposed to ever living up here, but so far I really like it. Winter hasn't hit thought and we'll see how it all plays out.
I'm currently putting in job applications like crazy! I've already got one job selling sunglasses, but I don't like it, so I'm looking for a second and or better job. I'm going to hopefully have lots of stuff for you all to see soon! I'm tired now and going to bed. Goodnight!

Thatcher! Sometimes. I. Miss. It. (That was painful to say)
I took a few of these photos in Thatcher, where I lived for about 2 years, there are times when I wish I could be back there, and eventually I will be back there. But for now I'm sticking in Surprise!
Hello Hello!
Sorry, it's been a while since I've posted last! I'll catch you up real quick. A week ago I went to California with my friends Danielle, Eric, and Bret. We stayed with my aunt, Shanna, in Poway. I don't think we were even there for 72 hours, but 20 hours of the time we were there was spent on the beach! It was way too much fun, I didn't even get in trouble with the law, which I am semi-infamous for! We visited the San Diego temple, so gorgeous! And hung out with my cousin Kimbre, went and slept through Harry Potter 7 p 2 for 9 dollars, and many other random events of spontaneity.
This next week I have all planned out, and I'm stoked for it! Monday, I'm going to go wrestle at Dysart High School; Tuesday, I'm going to wrestle at Valley Vista High School; Wednesday, I'm working; Thursday, I'm working; THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN Friday I leave for HAWAII!!!!!!!! My dear cousin Brenn McWhorter is getting married to a Kaulin Krebbs on Saturday in Hawaii, so it was a perfect excuse to visit the tropics! I haven't decided between Snorkeling while I'm there or Shark diving! I'm probably going to end up doing both, but I'm very excited!
