So...I saw something today that made me laugh. There was this 20-ish year old guy with a military hair cut, wearing an ARMY sweatshirt and work out shorts and shoes. He looked like he should have been on a run. Instead, he was walking, super winded and smoking a cigarette. Dummy. Not exactly the best way to get in shape. He is hosed next time he has to run against the other army guys. It just made me laugh.
I'm a dummy too though. I melted my counter top by putting a candle on the stove and it cost $107 to fix. But that is a long story that you are not likely to read here.
But yeah, seeing that guy out there, just made me appreciate how much I am glad I don't smoke. It is crazy expensive, it smells bad, it yellows your teeth, it's addictive, it makes it so you cant run even if you are military, it's stupid - it KILLS, oh yeah, and it gets you into some strangers blog so that 4 or 5 of his friends (and not likely any more
) can read about what a dummy you looked like today. yeah. I have plenty of OTHER was to be a dummy, no need for that one.

Life is Weird
More than that, it is almost so weird that it is predictable, but not quite. It is funny to me how serious the scriptures were when they declared that there is opposition in all things.
I like shooting, owning, and carrying guns. But it is expensive. The government likes to keep ammo expensive and firearms limited. And the hippies, liberals, and progressives think that I am an evil war-mongering murderer because I like my outdated right to bear arms.
I like pizza and other greasy foods; they are so convenient. But these are high in calories, cholesterol, fat, saturated fat, fatness, and the grease drips off of them. They offer little to no nutrients in return; and though I often argue that a good pizza covers all the food groups (I am sure you can figure that out), they are quite bad for you. sad.
I like learning. But school has too much homework.
I love being in shape. But I am not, and i miss it, and it is hard to get back to how i was back then. I went for a run yesterday and almost died! I am only freakin 21 here, what is it gonna be like when I get old?
I like a good, funny youtube video (like the one black kid saying "he was injured - injured BAD." Now there are all those stupid commercials and adds to take the fun out of it.
I like good music. Too bad most of it has already been written. Most of what I hear today is pathetic. The only generas I am still interested in (of currently producing music) are religious and movie sound tracks.
I still like the fat foods.
I love my wife. But I don't get enough time with her.
I love that she is pregnant. Only problem is that now my breath and my smell make her sick (literally).
In short, nothing in life is perfect and nothing is free. There is always some opposition, some way to see the glass as half empty. I pity the poor losers who always complain about every imperfection in their miserable existences. They miss out on the fact that they aren't that special; everyone's life has challenges - that is how God intended it to be.
Every day is a matter of choice. How do we deal with the challenges? Is life good and full of oppurtunity, or does every day suck in a world full of ruthless jerks bent on your utter misery? I dunno. But I like it. Life rocks.

Some Blogger...
Man, I suck at this, since my last post I have had my first Christmas at home since my mission, got married, went to school, succesfully completed all but a week of a quarter there and learned that I am a true nerd and love calculus, and announced to everyone that my wife is pregnant.
I look at that list. Each of those are things that generally get their own long blog entry from your average blogger. I am not. I am lame. Or not lame. It depends on how you feel about blogs, I guess.
2 things inspired me to finally sit down on my butt and write this. Even now, I only have time to write about one of them, and it will only get a few short words.
I love my life. My wife is amazing, and she makes my whole world a better place. She is pregnant. We are gonna have a kid, which is friggin AWESOME!! But I kind of had to laugh, when we made it official and told everyone "We are having a baby!!" I had to laugh after it was all broadcasted and what not because I realized, it was march 8th. We were announcing this on the six month anniversary of when I got home from my mission.
You know that weird goober RM kid who comes home and marries the first girl he takes on a date? That is not me. Rachel was the second girl I took on a date. Other than that...it is me.
From the time I got home:
3 days - met her
9 days - started officially dating
15 day - love
Less than 1.5 months - engaged
3.6 months - married
6 months - pregnant. Well, I am not pregnant, but you catch my drift.

Stress Makes Retards of Us All
So I had a really low key fender bender in the snow last saturday. I barely bent my liscense plate, and cracked her bumper a little bit. We had been out in the hills shooting, and were driving home in a snow storm. I still had my revolver under my shoulder, totally exposed, having a grand old time. So when I rear ended this lady, I began to relearn an important lesson.
She got out of her car, walked over to mine, opens MY door, and starts yelling at me! I was amazed!! That is very bold for a lone woman, on a country road, in the middle of a snow storm. She is all yellin: "Do you even know how to drive?! YADA YADA YAD-Why do you have a weapon?!" She had noticed that I had a large gun on my side (and probably realized her own stupidity) and freaked out. In short she was really rude and stupid.
I got a call that day from her hubby, to learn that they took the car to a couple of shops and found the best deal and offered to let me settle it myself rather than through insurance. They were both extremely helpful, and today I met her again and she was the nicest lady in the world. It is all taken care of, I am broke, and still amazed. The nicest lady was such a wench face when I met her.
Don't condemn on the first impression.
Dont rip open a stranger's door on a country road outside of town because there is a chance he has a gun and the look on your face will be every bit as dumb as hers was. (it was hilarious, really).
Dont rear end a an expensive car driven by a lady who is psycho and may have a death wish. She gets scary when you do.
But yeah, life is wonderful. I have the love of the most beautiful girl in the world, we get married in 10 days, and it is Christmas time. Our apartment is awesome, moving in is gonna rock! Life is good, and if you don't know that, then maybe you should reread the title of this entry because stress has clearly made a retard of you. Life is good. We have so much here and if you think your life is bad then wake up, look around, stop being retarded. Merry Christmas!!!

Thanksgiving
I just got to spend an absolutely incredible weekend with Rachel and her family. I am so thankful for so many things. I could never hope to name them all, too many to list. I am thankful for my loving Father in Heaven, the God of heaven and earth who is mindful of me and patient with me as I try to follow His will. I am so grateful that he has entrusted me with one of His daughters. I have the heart of the most wonderful woman on the face of the earth, and she has mine, and I love it. I am grateful for how terribly convenient this portion of my life (finding a lady worth keeping forever) panned out. I am grateful that she had no such convenience :) and had to wait for me to come along. I am grateful for hope. The Son of the Living God came down and walked through hell and died so that we can be forgiven. He now lives so that we can triumph. Thanks to Him, I will be able to be with Rachel forever. That is neat. Those are a few of the big ones. I also like pizza, ice cream, music, guns, snow, winter..............

WINTER!!!
Yesterday morning was just amazing. There I was, sitting on my own, looking out the window during a decent snow storm, listening to some great music...It was beautiful
It was one of those moments where you are reminded of just how much God has given you. I played some piano, and then went to pick up my lady, and spent about the whole day with her.
Everything is so wonderful, I love my life. Today I got to wake up and head out into the snow, (my first real winter in 2 years) and I realized something: I am a lot safer in the car than on my feet. I never had an issue in the car, the feet were horrible. Everywhere I walked I looked like a semi-retarded disco dancer, slippin one way or another. Good times.
Rachel is amazing. Simply incredible. Everytime I am with her, I wish it would never end....but alas...every night the "good night" comes. I cannot believe how blessed I am to have her in my life. She is everything I ever wanted and more. She proves to me that the Lord knows me better than I do. If I could have created or chosen the perfect girl for me, I never would have done so good. The Lord is hooking me up a TON! How grateful I am to know that this is His work and His hand in my life. I see miracles every day. Every single day He does something for me that I can sense.. Every day there are angels around me and each of us. They are sent to help us and improve our lives. I see one every single day, and I love her.
This winter rocks already

Crazy Blessed
Life is absolutely amazing. Yesterday I tried to mentally create a list of the many bllessings in my life. I couldn't find them all. I couldn't even come close. Every time I would think of one, thirty more would come to mind, and I came to a conclusion.
For whatever reason, the Lord has decided to bless me beyond my wildest dreams. I feel so undeserving of everything, but He just keeps hooking me up. School is going well, I love my family, and I am engaged to the most amazing girl on earth. Somehow God put our paths in motion to line up with eachother, and we met, and my life began to change rapidly. I love this. I love what I have been able to do, and I know that I have only seen the commencement of the joys of life.
Eternity lies ahead, and it's gonna rock. But first I need to get back to my homework, and I will worry about eternity later.
I just needed to rant for a moment about how lucky I feel. Especially because of my lady. My life is beginning to feel whole and complete. She is all I want on this earth, and when she is mine, everything else will just continue onward. Life will not only stay good, but itwill get better, and the Lord promises that it will keep getting better.
