This weekend I visited my family in Richfield. Wii sword slicing with Jason, visiting Grandma, and eating real food were a few highlights. The fish might have been biting, but the wind made it so we will never know. I decided that instead of fighting the wind, I would play in it. My dragon kite enjoyed its first flight.
I have started to upload all my pictures to:

This will help me to keep track of them.
Also, one week left.
Summer has been nice so far. Working is going great. I got a new guy working under me in Cedar that I had to show the ropes to. So far I have had lots of great adventures.

With my new job came some opportunities to see what a great place Utah is to see. My first far away call was in Escalante, so I took Trent and we hiked some sweet red rock. The next day I was on my way to Wahweap at Lake Powell. I took Trevor and we hung out at the beach with some ducks, and hiked around a bit. Then the next day I was off to Mesquite with the fam for Kristin's annual birthday trip. I think we like her birthday best, nobody else has a mandatory vacation. Then today I went on another hike into the snowy river just east of Cedar.


It has been good to spend time with friends in the outdoors. The older I get the more I appreciate things like that. Still waiting for June to roll around so I can finally be with Savannah. I will post again if I take any more pictures.
School is over. For now. So, four or so months of no studying, group projects, or professional procrastination. While this seems like a good thing, part of me is not celebrating yet. Recently someone has come into my life that has made a pretty big impact. While it was a short time, it was not short of feeling. Now she is gone for a month. Also, my housing contract is up in a month. Steve has purchased a new house, where we will be it's first residents. It appears as though I have one month of silence.
Work will be good. I am Dell Certified, and have completed a few service calls. I will still maintain my employment at Subway. Keep me busy, and on the subway diet.
Summer will be good. We started it off with a hike up a local mountain. While from below it seemed reasonably simple, it took a bit more effort and sweat than we had anticipated. This summer will be filled with hiking and adventures. Interesting how priorities change over the years.

I received a packet today in the mail. It was all my training materials from Dell Computers. I have 5 days to complete all six certification exams and become a certified technician.
Does this mean that I am contributing to society? Has my teenage rebellion finally run it's course? Not likely, but I'm pretty excited to be where I am.
Working at Subway for so long led to me believe that I was wasting who I am in a menial job. A while ago I was talking to a customer about my state of mind at Sub Mart. I used the word demeaning. He quickly replied that no job is demeaning when we are doing it with integrity and honesty. I am not bitter. I quite enjoy it to be honest.
I am blogging now because I feel good about who I am. With my last real summer break coming up soon I feel like so much has happened so quickly. As I try and catch up I will try to blog the most significant aspects of it.
Oh, that cheesy picture is for my laminate at Dell.
I Usually Laughed At The Idea Of A Blog, But Now I Feel It Can Be A Good Way To Express Yourself, And Show Your Others That You Matter. The Only Blog I Ever Read Is My Sister's, Because She Always Has So Many Pictures Of My Favorite Niece, Gracie! It Inspired Me To Start A Blog. I Don't Take Many Photos, But When I Do I Will Try And Upload Them.
