Misson Papers

I finally finished my mission papers. They are done and complete. Now who knows where they will send me hopefully I find out soon.

The Moab Journey

On Memorial weekend some of my friends and I made a journey to Moab, UT. We started planning the trip on Wednesday. Justin Hatch, Justin Myers, Jason, and I had planned on going on the trip. On Thursday we went to Costco to buy the food. Justin H paid for most of it so that was pretty sweet. We left for Moab around 2:00 on Friday, for some reason Justin H was unable to go so we had an abundant amount of food.

We got to Moab about 6:00 on Friday. We drove around town looking for campsites and did not really wish to camp in RV campgrounds. We then made the decision to go to Arches to see if there were any spots left in the park’s campsite. But there were no spots left, so at the visitor’s center they told us what our options were.

As we left the town to go back to the park I saw this great bridge crossing the Colorado River. So I decided that I would take some pictures there. Here they are.









One of the options was to go up near the river and camp at some BLM campsites. We soon left the park then traveled up the road near the river to see our options. We slowly drove by the campsites seeing what was available. After driving up the road we soon found that the campsites were packed. What were we to expect it was Memorial Weekend? We returned to the second campsite were there was one that was empty but had been reserved for the weekend. So we talked to the camp host, who was this great old guy from Texas, he said he thought that they were probably not coming back but if they did we would have to move or share it with them or something.
Here are some pics from the camp site.







It was about 7:30 when we started to set up camp. We had forgot a few things so Jason went back to town to buy the stuff. As he was going back Justin M started prepping the food to make fajitas and I made a cobbler. We did not have dinner until about 9:00. A fire came around soon after than. It was not a very large and grand fire, it was actually quite a lame sauce fire, it sure did not help that we had forgot a hatchet. When it got later I decided to take some long exposures but they did not turn out so grand.





We woke up at about 7:30 the next morning. I cooked breakfast burritos they were ultra tasty.

Well I am really tired right now I am just going to post some more pics and then Ill write more later.

Bridals at Thanksgiving Point

I took these Bridals with my friend ken at Thanksgiving Point. Ken was the main photographer and I was assisting him, but I still got some sweet pics. We had a super great time. Turkey Point as I like to call it has lots of different shooting opportunities. Great place to shoot.

Salt Lake Temple Visit

Yesterday we made the journey to the Salt Lake temple. It was my second time visiting it. We planned on leaving at 6:30 from Alberson's in Lehi but who ever leaves on time anyway. So it is about 6:25 when the girls end up picking me up, so go figure. Well we start to leave and I call George to tell him that we are leaving Eagle Mountain and will be there some time soon. After a few minutes we arrive at Alberson's after George calling us a few times to see when we are going to get there. As soon as we arrive George goes in to this eyeglasses place and tells us that he will be a few minutes and all he is really doing is flirting with some girl in the store. While he is in there in the store Suzi is trying to find something to cover her seat with something because I kid spilled root beer all over it. So it comes time for George to come in to the car and he just starts moving all this stuff and than he decides that it we should go in his car instead.

We arrive at the Trax Station about 7:30 and started to ride the train to Temple Square. We had some totally awesome times on the Trax.










We got to temple square at about 8:00 or so. There was a lot of construction going on so the regular baptistery entrance was closed so we went in the big regular entrance for the whole temple and had to go down some long tunnels but we finally found our way in. We had some great experiences in the temple. We were the last group and ended up getting out of the temple around 9:20 so no temple cheesecake for George because the cafeteria was closed. We walked around the temple grounds a little while and took some awesome pictures.









After playing around on Temple Square for a while we decided that it was time to get some food. So we jumped back on the train to go down to the gateway. First we went to the food court but of course it was close because it was 10:00. We walked around some more and came across an Applebees that was open. Michelle and I decided that we were not very hungry so we only ordered dessert. I ordered this thing called the Mile High Ice Cream Pie it is just super good. Michelle ordered some dessert shot thing, George some pasta, and Suzy ordered some wrap or something. We read on a paper on the table that if a manager does not come by to visit your table that you get a $10 off your next meal, so we was sure that he wasn’t going to come by but then all the sudden about before we were to leave he shows up oh how depressing.




















After our grand fun times at Applebees we caught our train home. When we got to the sandy stop I was the only one to get off. The others were just standing there for a while. They were making faces at me. I went to press the button to let me in but it was not working. They same for their side. I guess they were locked in. The Operator lady had to come open the doors for them. But overall we had some great times.
