Fun and busy Memorial Day weekend




Although I didn't head home for Memorial Day, I did manage to have lots of fun with friends and members in my singles ward. On Friday, we played Ultimate at nearby Adams Park in Logan, with more than 20 people attending, making the game very fun. On Saturday, a couple of us went for a hike up Smithfield Canyon. We drove up to the trail head, then took the hiking path up for about 45 minutes. We did have to cross a few small streams, either by walking through them or crossing some make-shift bridges. The water was cold, but the hike was worth it, seeing all the trees and mountains. On Memorial Day, for F.H.E., we met at Lyon Park in Hyde Park, and played a big game of soccer, which lasted until the dark set in. Once it did, we had s'mores and a fire to keep us warm. It was a really good time.

A new beginning

Well, it appears that I'm joining the 21st Century by starting my own blog. Hopefully I'll catch on to this really quick, and update it enough so that people will continue coming back. I"m sure I'll learn quickly.
Of course, as most of you know, I graduated recently from Utah State University with a BA in Accounting. The commencement services were great, especially with Elder L. Tom Perry in attendance to receive an honorary doctorate. To make it even better, I was able to get a picture with him and a few of my friends from college. We've been in school since we were freshmen, and it's wonderful to see all of us graduate at the same time. One year of graduate school remains, and once I get my Masters and pass the CPA exam, I'll be ready to take on a career.
