I am so excited for football this year. I know that I say that every year but this year I mean it. The team is looking amazing from what I hear. Media Day was awesome and I am so stoked that ESPN has partnered with BYU and that 10 games will be on ESPN and the one game that isn't right now will be on BYUTV. That game doesn't even matter because it is against my current school ISU. I could get student tickets and go if I wanted to. The biggest thing that I am excited for though is the opportunity to go to more games this year. After discussing the move to Pocatello one of the things that was brought up was that we would be closer to Utah and therefore closer to my Cougars. I am going to try and make it to a couple of games this year instead of the one and if they go well I will see if I can do more. I can't wait!

Heaps coming into his own, great linebackers, promising receivers, going independent, ESPN, and the possibility to make it to every home game. This is going to be a great year.

1st Semester Done

The first semester back at school as been a tough one. I spent countless hours studying and preparing for class. I took two test that took me 5 hours a piece to finish. 4 papers that had to be 10 pages or more. Observation hours at a middle school, school board meeting, and band concert. I interviewed multiple people that I then had to write 5 page papers for. I did service at the Idaho Food Bank here in Pocatello for service hours related to one classes observations. I had to do 23 hours of observations in the school and around the community. 2 class presentations and some group work. At the middle of the semester I was afraid that I had made a mistake in going back to school. It felt like things were rushing over my head and that I was not able to catch up. As the semester came to an end I realized that I had made it through and that it wasn't as bad as I had thought. I am excited for the upcoming semester and although 1 class has 6 books that I have to buy I am excited to read them. This endeavor has been tough on my family but in the end I know that the Lord will take care of us. This is what we are suppose to be doing and we all feel good about it even though we complain some times.

Now for what you really wanted to know.
