Oh no....were in a financial crisis....wait...no were not, really!

Sure, we may be in a "financial crisis" according to the media, but just as Dave Ramsey says, everyone needs to take a chill pill. Check out this article about Dave's thoughts about the economy. He makes a good point that the one in the early 80s was worse than this one, and hey look, we are still alive. Anywho, that's my thoughts about this anyway. If anyone is concerned with what is happening, you should read Dave's article. Go Dave!

Vacation Fun

We just got home from our little vacation. It was a blast. It was fun seeing everyone, especially Sam! That kid is awesome. We went down to Glenwood, which is about 5 miles east of Richfield. We got down there on Sunday evening. The next morning we got up early and went to Fish Lake for some fishing. It was fun. We caught 5 pretty good size ones. I caught two, and Sam, with some help with Larry, caught three. And I actually cleaned one of them...not a very pleasant experience. Then when we got back to Glenwood, we went on a 2 hour four-wheeling ride. It was a lot of fun.

Then we went back up to Becca's parents house and Sam and I played a lot of Halo and Star Wars Battlefront. It was so much fun. I'm glad I finally got a chance to play video games! I'm not going to write all of the details of the vacation because Becca already did at her blog.

Other news.....I finished Harry Potter!!! I can't believe how great book 7 was. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it...but if anyone want to talk about it, leave a comment. I'm having mixed feelings though. I am so glad to be done with it because I knwo the whole story...but I didn't want it to end!!! (if that makes any sense). I know the story had to end sometimes, and I think J. K. Rowling did a very good job. I'm going to start reading the Fable Haven series. I heard they are pretty good. I just got home from basketball, and I can never fall asleep after I play for like 1 or 2 hours, so I think I'm going to start reading it!

Finally!!!

I'm finally all finished with my finals!!! It feels so good!! I'm excited to finally have a break!!! I can finally finish reading Harry Potter book 7. I'm going to start the Fable Haven series that I got for my b-day, and hopefully the Lord of the Rings series as well.

We are going on a vacation this next week!! I can't wait. I get to hang out with my nephew Sam, and play video games!!! I'll take some pictures and post some later.

Dueling Guitars

(Be sure to pause my playlist)



This is a flippin' sweet clip from August Rush. I love playing the guitar (even though I'm not that good). I love this movie. It reminds me of my nephew Sam. That kid is a genius. He composed and directed a symphony for his school, and he's only 12. I'm excited to hang out with him in August. I finally get some time off. He is going to visit for a few days from New Orleans. We are going to go see the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight and play video games!!! I'm so exited.


I went to a Journey concert tonight and it rocked. The guitarist is amazing. I wish I could play like that. We are also going to the John Mayer concert in a couple of weeks. I'm so excited. He is also a great guitar player. Anyways, I'm off to bed.

I love TENNIS!!!

I love tennis! I wish I could play it everyday. My favorite tournament is Wimbldon. It was always one of my dreams do play in it....heheh...but it is just that...a Dream. Oh well. At least Becca plays tennis with me. She is better than I am. We actually played tennis on our second date (and she beat me!) She says that I let her win, but I really didn't. I'm so glad that I have someone to play with. My favorite player of all time is Pete Sampras.

He's amazing. I think my favorite for this tournament is Rodger Federer. He's been No. 1 for a long time, and he deserves it. He's also an amazing player. Anyway, sorry this is kind of a random post, but I turned it to NBC and Wimbledon is on! and Federer is playing! He is serving for the match....wait!!! actually, he just won! Sweet!!! He'll play on Friday in the Semifinals. I wish I could play like him.
