Hey yal,

Man sounds like an awesome awesome week. So happy for yal! Love those camping pics! My dogs still got it!! haha sounds like he grew up and fought his fears too lol. Glad schools going well and my buds are getting things dun back home. It'll be crazy to see home. 2 more Sundays.... what?!? lol thats too fast.

This week was bomb! really rough with Tripp this week though...don't know why it bothers me so much but he is never grateful for anything.... at all. Zero thank yous to anyone...... bugs the heck outta me especially when I help him out with $$ and he just assumes he deserves it. GAWW! Almost got to yelling at him but I kept my patience and slept it off the next few days. So I'm pretty stoked Heavenly Father has helped me lengthen my fuse hahaha it really keeps my days more up beat! but we just crammed out as much work as we could this week I was seriously fun. Afterburner time!! Misty's doing fantastic. solid! goin to the temple real soon. This girl, Katerine, is so awesome! She wants everything taught and to be baptized before I leave but her parents are like whoa whoa whoa slow down. One is a really LA and the others a NM but they are my favorite to visit. So chill and fun and we can be ourselves there. love em to death. I'll definitely be flying out here if she gets baptized. and they came to church yesterday! 1st time in like forever!!! haha it was awesome!!! And they both loved It. The NM didn't come though. haha ok funny embarrassing story. Well 2 actually. So we were talking about this bar that Cliff (NM) goes to and I was like oh the one where that Blondie drives the big ol Chevy and he's like oh yeah that's the one! And went and told the girl the Mormon missionaries have a crush on her! So now whenever we bike by( like everyday cause its on the main street) she waves and I'm like oh gosh..... hahaha so funny!! but awkward and stuff too. oh well. 2nd story is we always tell people we gotta get home before 930 or we'll turn into pumpkins and so Katerine (9) thinks that really happens!! So funny..... so we're planning a prank this week to get some pumpkins and act like we got turned into pumpkins. gonna be hilarious!!!! We'll let ya know how it goes later.

So I sang again.......... Jacks signed us up for it..... in front of the HP so luckily they're hearing aids were all turned down. but yupp sang again.... was not fun.. But people said it went ok. So I guess it was a success. I hate singing..... well I love it in the shower and in the car but not in front of people lol. oh well.

So I've gotta say the best part of my week was Saturday. oh buddy. It was fantastic. Rose came down and brought more food which was nice! Haven't had many dinners lately. And got to go to the FIRE HOUSE!!! hahah man it was such a blast! We hit it off super well.... one guy was a super less active guy and was tellin the guys all about us and we went over the whole mission thing and then me and Ayotte picked their brains over dinner man 2 hrs flew so fast hahaha loved every second of it and we were laughin and tellin stories and it was sweet. Literally the fire service is a mission but temporal not spiritual. I'm so stoked... sooooo stoked and I made good contacts there so maybe I'll get a job! who knows. It was so fun though. Loved every second of I and everything. pumped me up to get to school!

Ever heard the game munskins? Its a super fun game... we've been playin alot lately in the apartment. its fun, weird, and random but super addicting and fun!

I'll work on college stuff tomorrow because today in like 5 minutes were goin to a 4 zone sports party. Gonna be a blast!! So excited. Here comes volleyball against the polys! Gotta keep em in line!

Love yal so much! Talk to ya tomorrow!!
