due to a bit of negeligence on my part this post will be a little bit different than usualy. i am not at all into making it pretty or anything and nor am i now but usually i throw up a bunch of picts of my recent life and then narate. latley i have not been so good on the picture taking so there is not much updated but there are a few. on the 24th of this month i will have been home from my mission for two whole years which is just crazy to me. yep time is going. it just doesn't stop. it is a pretty interesting thing. i thought it would be fitting to throw up some pictures of when i got back and life around then. so here they are. 

these are just at some football game we went to. i cant get enough of that wave.
me and my little bro. i am greatfull he had the camera for this even. we got a little bit of logging in. 
dan j was there. pretty cool kid. 
so i told tyler that he had to learn and so he did. he got pretty good before he left. we will definitely rock out when he gets back.
awesome poster for the welcome home. i imagine we've got at least one more of these to hang up. get ready alpine. 11 more months.
some good friends
another one of ty
the greeting party
mom moms the greatest.

the last family that we saw baptized. and elder warken who returned just last month.
so this one was only last year. mel kept on wanting to straiten my hair and i told her she finally could and this was the result, pretty good. someday my hair will be that long again but right now i got keep it pretty short, bummer. the cut came about 15 min later.
so this one was the recent one that i told you i would get up. yesterday we went to the big sur. cool but arguably not worth the drive. one more thing i can say i've done and can check off the list.  the first owners left it in there will that no one could go down to the bottom so that all can enjoy it beauty from afar. i say that is retarded. things are cool to look at but i am all about doing. i just wanted to go stand under the waterfall. that would have been awesome. 
here was a cool sunset. unfortunately my camera is on my phone and is not the best camera but it was truly a might sun set. so awesome.

just want to give a congratulations to all my friends. tons are getting married. even bryson and his mickelle had their baby. Patrick and Abigail got married. as well as steve carroll, chris noorda, dan skow, dan and dan went at the beginning of the summer and just as fate would have it they had to both marry Adrians--great. some day i might start to think about getting on that train.  i'm sure there are other but those are the ones that come to mind right now.

well thats it crew. thats all i got. hopefully i will start to take more picts. i am going into a new stage of selling the next weeks as most people are leaving. we will see how long i can last. hopefully i continue to rock it till the snow falls. wish me luck and thanks for all the support. rock rock on.
