For the first time.

Well I have many friends that have gotten into the blogging scene lately and decided that I would try it out.  With this I have started two blogs one that is a private one which will be more of a journal.  The other being one for my family, friends and public because I won't really care who reads it.

So if there are some transitions that don't make sense that is because there was something probably taken out that I deemed too personnel.  Well my day started off with me waking up to my roommate Chad waking me up saying that General Conference starts in five minutes.  So I dragged myself out of bed and put in my contacts and grabbed my computer to take notes.  I really enjoy conference every year even though I seemed more sleep deprived then usual this year.  It also means if its the October conference than my birthday is very close or in the case of this year its tomorrow. 

Here is my notes from the two days.  No notes from Priesthood I was way too tired and struggled to just pay attention but it was a great conference that focused on missionary work.

Some of my favorite quotes from the conference from my notes.

L. Whitney Clayton "The sun never sets upon the Church in these latter days."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "We must always remember of the grandness of God and the glory of all that he has created.  But at the same time it should give us comfort for the reason all this was created was because of us and that it his will for us to succeed."

I watched the 1st session with my roommates Chad and Bryce in my apartment.  In between the sessions we invited our Family Home Evening group sisters over to have tacos, which were amazing and one of the girls brought over a spinach dip which I ate until nearly bursting.  It was fun talking and getting to know them better, we also decided that the BYU channel was a lot like the food network just with less food and more mediocre movies.  I decided then to go Kayle's to watch the 2nd session at her apartment.

I also started playing Portal today and can I tell you that this game so far is really addicting.  I really feel behind though seeing as there is already a second one.  So far though from what I hear being a low budget game I am really impressed with its game play.  though I didn't get to play to long until my lap top overheated from being on pretty much all day.



Well Its now my birthday well I don't feel any different.  I definitely don't feel like I am 23, but I really haven't felt my age for a while.  Still haven't decided if that's a good thing or bad thing yet.  I have always enjoyed the quote that says "aging is inevitable, maturing is optional.

I also rewatched a cool video tonight called Beyond Black Mesa its a really cool fan film about the Half Life games and it is a really good quality I was very impressed by it.  Anyone out there that has not already played these games I highly recommend them and it will help make the video make more sense.
