All Kinds Of Crazyness

Well, it's been yet another month and numerous things have happened as always. The summer has been passing by so quickly and is nearly over now. First off, after a long story, I was accepted to the business school, as well as my ISYS major. That was an major blessing. I have also purchased my first car on my own. I bought a Mitsubishi Diamante that has all I wanted, sunroof, leather, and everything else. It has been nice to drive around with a car that has AC! There have been numerous other things that have happened including a family reunion that I went to up in Idaho. Today, or yesterday, on Sunday the 15 of August 2004 I woke up to the uncontrolable sobbings of Janna. At about 8:30 a.m. she found out that her long time boyfriend Pete Hurtado passed away in a car wreck a few hours earlier at like 2:30 a.m. She took it extremely hard but seems to be getting a little better. I went to church despite all other thing including a headache and a cold, and then returned directly after sacrament meeting. A few hours after returning from church, Jeff told me that our cousin Ashley Hansen (Charles' daughter) passed away as well giving birth to her first child. I'm not sure on the details yet, but it must be extremely difficult for her family right now. Life is extremely fragile. Make the most of it while you can. I am extremely grateful for the many things I have been blessed with, including a wonderful family. I'm going to bed.

The Past Month

Well, it's been quite some time since I've written and quite a few things have happened. First off, over the weekend of the 4th of July I was able to take a trip home with Jeff and Kristie and little Sydney. While we were there, Jared and Christina had the blessing for their little baby Eli Dean Hansen. I was able to help with that blessing on the 4th. It was nice to have the whole family together again and to see all the familiar faces from my home ward. While in Idaho, we took a trip to "hansen's ranch" and stayed the night at silver creek plunge as well. It had been over 10 years since we had visited that great place of childhood memories. It was neat to go back and see it after all these years, not to mention be able to go swimming in the pool without adult supervision. The ranch was cool as well. Although I was too young to remember very well all the ward activities there, as I walked alround the pretty sights and smells came back clearly. It was nice to walk around were my grandfather spent so much time and just breathe in the same air that he did many years ago. The trip back was uneventful and all went well. After returning on Wednesday, I turned right back around and went to Brian and Darla's house for Tosha's mission report. It's always great to go visit their secluded house and just relax. I went and returned alone and all went well. I always like getting out on the road with my car and just cruising with the sun roof back. So that was enjoyable. This has been an interesting week. Before I left for Malta, I met a girl named Amy and we've hung out quite a bit this week. We'll see how things go with that. All is well. I love life and my family.

More Summertime

Summer is still on! I'm having a great time. This summer is just barely starting as well! Well, this past week has gone by quickly and I really havn't got a whole lot accomplished unfortunately. I have completely finished all the homework for my ISYS 202 class and that's great. I just need to go take the test soon before I forget all the information. It's gonna be a multiple choice test so I'm not too worried about it. Mom is still here and tomorrow is her birthday, then Dad's is on Sunday. On a side note, Brent's grandmother died this week and I heard he went home for the funeral. Also, President Reagan died this week as well on the burrial was today, or rather yesterday at this time of night. That's about it.

Summer Time

Summertime is starting to roll around and I'm having a great time! I'm nearly finished with my ISYS 202 class. I have to finish up one more project and then take the final and that's it. Everything has been great. I went and saw the third Harry Potter film the other day. It was pretty good considering I havn't seen the first two. Mom made a surprise visit and came down on thursday I believe and is still around. On Saturday I went up to Kaysville to golf with my old roomate Josh and then on the way home I stopped at Snider's house and we went to visit one of his friends. While there we played some basketball and I had on my pumas and that doesn't bode well for the feet, pumas and basketball that is. So I got some pretty sweet blisters on my feet from that little experience. I'm having a great time at work. I'm starting to become a little more familiarized with the stuff and I'm getting a lot more done. I still need to become quite a bit more familiarized with netware, but other than that, all is well. Well, I guess that's about it for now. One last thing, I sent some money down to brazil the other day for Tiago to go on his mission. He bought a suit and some shoes and a couple other things as well with the cash. I was glad I could help.

May 25, 2004

I just finished yet another homework assignment at around 1:30 a.m. Everything is going great, I was familiarized with the stuff at work today and have a better idea of what I'll be doing. Testing out novell client software, or running a boat load of test for each build of each. I'm still getting used to everything but so far I have enjoyed it and I love the environment. Well, I'm off to bed.

My First Day at Novell

Today was my first day at novell. I went to a new-employee orientation and recieved a few little goodies. I got a hot, shirt, novell bag, and a novell calculator among other things. I also recieved my novell security badge which is pretty cool. I met the other intern that I will be working with. I also saw the racks that I will be working on and our little cubicle. That about sums it up. I now have to go prepare a big bbq for FHE that is going on tonight, we are expecting lots of people because we have 3 wards coming to it. It should turn out great.

My Day

Today was a great day! Jared and Christina had their first little baby boy today and I'm exited about that. The whole week has been great. I was hired on at Novell, recieved some finicial aid for school, and became uncle G for the second time. Tonight I went to the temple, then when I came home I was greeted with a pineaplle. For some reason Jarrah brought it over and dropped it off. What a week!
