A FANTASTIC TRAILER!
I've watched this several times by now, and am currently obsessed with it. The trailer for The Fantastic Mr. Fox! I thought it was awesome, hilarious, and FANTASTIC! WAH!!!! This movie is going to be epic. If you don't believe me, just ask me, I'll tell you. In fact, I just did. See what I did there?
Now, without further adeu, watch THIS:

So I was thinking...
Have you ever wondered if there are any Mormon Wizards at Hogwarts? I think there are. And I bet after they graduate and go on missions they do a really good job.
Just a thought...

Wizard Angst.
Well, the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came out the other night, and naturally I was at the midnight showing. I was dressed and ready for some magical fun while we waited in line, and I wasn't disappointed. Here are some photos:
It was a good night.

Fantastic Mr. Fox!
Little do many of you know, there is a movie slated for release later this year based on one of my favorite books ever, "Fantastic Mr. Fox." I may or may not have read this book more than any other during the course of my short life, but the point is, I'm really excited to hear that good old Mr. Fox gets to outsmart Boggis, Bunce, and Bean up on the big screen. He's really earned it.
Woohoo! Get excited. And if you haven't read the book, I suggest you do so Asap.

Smorgasbord
First off, I just want to say that Jumanji is a really exciting movie.
My brother Matthew came with his wife Melissa and my two nieces Ashley and Sariah last week so they(Matthew and Melissa) could go through the temple with me for my first time. It's always fun when they come. Mostly because Ashley and Sariah really liven up the house. Here is their beautiful family...
In other news, my parents and I got to go to the Stadium of Fire for free last night. It made me feel very patriotic--especially when the Jonas Brothers came out, much to the delight of all the 12-year-old girls. The Founding Fathers would be proud. The JoBros did play a cover of "Sweet Caroline" which happens to be my favorite Niel Diamond song, so that was probably the highlight of my night. My Dad had fun, although he made it obvious that he wasn't a fan of SheDaisy or the Jonas Brothers, and Mom seemed to have really had a good time, especially since she got a free JoBros poster.
Obviously, it was a good Fourth of July. Here are some Jonas brothers along with some fireworks:
By the way, I got the opportunity to go with my Dad to help him photograph a wedding. It was a really fun experience which was a little harder than I would have thought. I'll try and post some pics later, but as for right now, "good night, and good luck!"

This is Wordy
So tonight I just realized that yesterday marked the one month anniversary of my return to Utah from my study abroad adventure in Spain. My initial excitement at being back in familiar territory has long since worn off and now I feel almost like I'm stuck in a rut. I'm laying in my bed right now thinking back on the past month and wondering what I've accomplished. The answer? Not a whole lot.
I got a mission call, got a job, and got a lot of tootsie rolls at Tim Abbott's birthday party tonight, but I can't help but miss the life I had in Spain. There was no shortage of excitement. One day I'd be in Sevilla watching flamenco, and the next I'd be in Valencia eating napolotinas and watching things burn. Now, I'm in Orem one day... and Orem the next.
It's getting harder and harder to simply hang out on weekends, especially as the male population of my group of friends go on their two-year-exodus' all over the world and leave me behind all summer. I think I need to find some new ways of diverting my attention that don't rely entirely on other people.
Hopefully I'll be able to live like my parents when I'm older. Since getting back from Spain, little more than a month ago, they have gone to Las Vegas, Arizona, Cancun, and are now BACK in Las Vegas. In the year 2009, they have been at home for MAYBE two weeks tops. They're like big Engergizer Bunnies.
I'm not saying all this to try and convince anyone that my life sucks. It's far from sucky. In fact, if anything sucks, it's me. It's not like there is actually a shortage of things to do, it's just that I don't DO any of them. I'm just so lazy that it's like I wait for pastimes to be laid, gift wrapped at my feet rather than make an effort to be productive.
Well, we'll see how things turn out, and if I can make it into the MTC on August 26th without having gone insane. I'll keep you posted.
And to end off on the right note, here is a blurry picture of me as Peter Pan.

Sand Dunes
Last weekend some friends and I went to the Sand Dunes for fun, and as a last little activity for Hiram who enters the MTC this week (He gave his farewell talk yesterday, and it was fantastic if I do say so myself). We didn't take any four wheelers or machinery like that besides the car, but we kept ourselves entertained by simply playing in the sand.
We even encountered a tiger!
We hauled a grill along with us, but for some reason, after trying for what seemed like forever, we could not light the dumb charcoal so we took the grate off and balanced it over the fire with a cinder block. We felt pretty innovative.
By the way, those were the most delicious burgers ever.

Found!
My senior year in high school, I made myself a longboard in woodshop. Randomly last summer I realized it was missing! I couldn't find it anywhere! And now, almost a year later, it has been recovered. Apparently,my friend Caitlin's brother had it hidden away in his room for some reason, but now, all is well, and it is back in its rightful owner's hands.
It's totally plain besides this little RHCP insignia on the back, but I like it!
And all is well in Orem.
