Life has so many crazy things happening in it. I learned this past week that character is such an essential tool to success. People will follow you if you have the character that is honest and hard working. School is the same, however I do have test coming up with a massive research paper just waiting in the near future which is really hard to think about because I am getting married in about 53 days and I could not be more excited ( except for at this moment Caleb and Josh are on an uncontrollable screaming frenzy and I am going some what crazy!) Meghan and I are currently looking at getting an apartment. This is a huge step up in my life and I am not going to lie... it is a bit nerve racking. We are desperately searching for a place to live that is not only great but affordable. 600 or 700 dollars a month is just SO much money to me, I guess though in the long run when you are paying a 2300 dollar mortgage it is nothing. We have found some nice little places, but inside I am hoping we our little journey will be like Goldilocks and we'll be able to find a place that is JUST RIGHT!( and it is affordable haha)
SO WHAT?
Well frankly there are things in life that will just always JUST come and I have no control over it. The Lord teaches me in the most interesting ways. I have found that he STILL is teaching me patience. I need to learn more than I already know. By changing my personal character into the way that the Lord would best see fit will also lead me to becoming a better me.
NOW WHAT?
Well I think that all I can do know it to, " Ask the Lord what I lack, and ask him to make up the difference." Once I can do that and become humble I will SUCCEED at homework, school, and especially work.

Post #2
So as many of you now currently know, I just finished my first week of my last semester at BYU. It was pretty dang cool, and I am currently not overwhelmed by the load that will soon pressed on my shoulders. When I was in Spokane with Meghan, on our last day heading to the airport, Meghan's father and mother were talking about goals and how to attain them. I learned something new in the conversation. Meghan's mother said that one of the men in the Mission Presidency writes down his 6 most important things to do each day down on a small 3X5 card, and then does nothing else until he finishes those things that are on the card. So I decided that I was going to do that so that I kept organized during this last semester. I have done it for a week now and I cannot complain. I am getting everything done that I need to and I do not feel burdened out with the tasks that need to take place. I often wonder how the brethren acco
mplish all that they do, with the responsibility that is placed on their shoulders. So If they can do it so can I!
With all the new tasks that I have each day, I cannot stop thinking about March 16th. I think that is like 60 days away. Meghan is working really well at picking out the things that will be needed for us to have not only a great time, but also help others feel relaxed. I can't stop thinking about how important it is for me to stay organized so that I can be their for Meghan and all the things that she needs help with.
SO WHAT?
So what this is teaching me is that organization is a very KEY part to success. Their will be pitfalls( like my car radiator cracking, while driving in a very hellish snow blizzard of death and having to be replace it) but when we have our priorites in order, and we are relaxed and willing to press forward. WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!
NOW WHAT?
Now I must continue in the goals that I have set for this year. As a student, employee, and future HUSBAND! I have the chance to change all that is around me and again BE A CREATOR OF CIRCUMSTANCE AND NOT A CREATURE!!

My life post #1
I have never really done any type of blogging or kept up with social media. I have a Facebook but rarely post anything new in my life. I am more of a face to face type person, in the fact the social interaction to me means, "meeting" new people and conversing with them not via Facebook, or Twitter etc.
However after 3 full years of school I have decided that maybe it is time for me to branch out and explain a little about myself
I am 24 years old and recently engaged to the most beautiful girl in the world. We have known each other for about 8 years and things are wonderful. I have had to learn however that patience is key in a relationship. See I have wanted to marry my dearest Meghan for over a year. However she was not as eager to jump into a "eternal" relationship with me. She wanted to take time and know each other more. At the time I thought that was the dumbest thing that she could have said. I was thinking to myself," Man we have the rest of our lives to know each other." Turns out that this year has given me a lot of learning, and I am grateful that we took out our time and she is as ready as me. I come from a family of 5 but my whole life we have had people from all over the world staying at our home. It has taught me a lot about different cultures and people, too which end I am very grateful.
I currently am working for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints, teaching early morning seminary. I really do love it and want to become a full time teacher. Immersing myself in the Gospel on a 24 hour basis is a pretty cool thing. I love teaching though. I have taught Korean at BYU and coach football at a local high school. I always think of the times that I had in school and what the coaches and teachers taught me. Not only about secular things, but how to be a man. I learned many lessons that I still try and apply to my life today.
I am finally in my last semester of school I am taking all the my "GE" classes or the classes that every student at the University are required to take. It is quite interesting and I think that I will be in a bit over my head, with all of the things that I must read! I have never really loved to read, I am a bit of a visual guy.
SO WHAT?
Why is any of that important? I have thought to my self about my life for the last little while as I am ending school and really getting ready to further dive myself into to what seems sometimes like a hostel world. I believe that I must continue to learn in any field that I choose to go into, and in doing so I must push myself to do the things that I am not comfortable with. Ya reading is not my favorite thing and I will have to strive for more patience.
NOW WHAT?
Now what.... what a question. I am determined to finish school and not let anything bother me. I am going to succeed in what I do... even if it is something new like "blogging" I am the creator of my environment...not the creature. I will do the best I can even if I look like this!
