Let's Try This Again...

So I originally tried doing a blog on my personal website that I was going to design through iWeb and post. It all kinda went to crap though. So I lost motivation. I am have found a small glimpse of motivation and am going to start doing this whole blog thing again...

I have found myself getting so caught up in my busy schedule that I have neglected the Lord in my life. This is very saddening to me because He does so much for me and I don't return the favor. I am certain that we all get like this at times. It is my goal this week to prepare myself spiritually for the General Conference broadcasts that will be happening on Saturday and Sunday. I hope and pray that the Lord will continue to work with me through all of my trials and the neglect that He often gets from me.

For Real? Three Days In A Row?

    I already filled my hours at work and had the great idea that I would sleep in today and just relax. At 7:00 a.m. I woke up and wasn’t going back to sleep. Bummer. 

    After going into work for a few hours, my roommate and I went to the auto store and bought some new hydrolic arms lifts for my Jeep’s hood. As many of you may know, I am not a mechanic in any way, shape or form. I am scared I am going to screw something up. I am trying to overcome that fear.

    So I had my roommate, Jack, help me install them. Surprisingly they were very easy to install. It took us about 5 minutes is all. Then we checked all of the various tanks and made sure that everything looks like it was in working order. 

    My next big adventure is to change the oil. I have 1,200 miles until I need to do it. I am already scared. But we have to start somewhere right?

Day 2...

    Holy smokes, this is day 2 of my blog. Am I a weirdo or what? I still don’t want to be labeled as a blogger. If I ever get to that point, let me know. Deal? So today, anything that could have gone wrong at work, went wrong. Murphy’s Law was very applicable today. 

    I recently set a goal for my job that said, “When I find myself getting frustrated, I will seek help from the Lord and ask Him to help calm my frustrations.” Today was the first time that I put that to the test. I said a prayer and then put on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Doing this really helped my attitude and I am glad that I did because it helped me to be focused and get more things done rather than being frustrated an inefficient. 

   Oh! Another happy note, I hung up pictures in my office. These look great with my lamp. I swear, everyday I turn more and more into a real person. 

Ramblings of a 22-year old with too much time...

  Traditionally, I have found blogs to be ramblings of people who have way to much free time. This is the main reason why I have never done one. Do I suddenly have tons of free time that I can do a blog? I certainly would think not. I work full time and go to school full time. The little free time that I have is spent with my beautiful girlfriend, Breanna or playing Halo: Reach. (I need to unwind in someway!)

     So why did I suddenly decided to redo my entire webpage and start a blog? It started off when my roommate approached me about helping him start his webpage and design for his business. We have only just started, but I am proud of the progress that he has made. I would encourage everyone to check it out: modernbuildingllc.com. His name is Kyle Kohler and he is a general contractor. He does great work and I can full heartedly say that is he a honest man and will take care of you. (Sorry for that brief advertisement, I just had to do it!)

     The other reason that I wanted a blog was to force myself to stay informed with the things that are going on in the world. I want to start having an opinion on issues that I think are important and relevant to me. So from time to time, I am anticipating me creating a post about politics or other issues that “grown ups” talk about.

     This concludes my first rambling of a person who has too much time, or a blog!
