Just a few things

These are just a few random things I thought I would share with you:

1) I have lost 12 pounds already this semester from ROTC. My goal is to lose another 20 by at least the summer when I go to Field Training. That would put me at 180, which is well below my max weight the Air Force has set.

2) There is just a little over 6 weeks until my wedding. I can't wait. I really just want to be married. Its so hard being engaged as all you that have gone before me know. We have to make a lot of rules, etc. But we are hanging in there and plugging along with the wedding plans.

3) Conference was AMAZING as usual. I am always amazed at how many of my questions and prayers are answered each general conference. I love it. I think back at all the stuff I missed before my mission when I was more interested in my legos or erector set than i was in what was being said on the t.v. (the legos and erector set were a while before the mission, not up to). It was really neat hearing my uncle Brent talk and seeing him (and my cousin eric) on the jumbo-tron at the conference center. He did a great job.

4) Is it just me or is it getting really cold here in Utah? I swear it is never this cold by this time of year. When I leave my apartment at 5:40AM for Physical Training with the ROTC I just about die. Luckily my car has a problem with over heating, so it doesn't take long. However, it also doesn't take long to get to the location where we train. So by the time I get there I'm starting to warm up.

5) My brother Matt left the MTC last week and got to his new area in Latvia. He is so excited. He has two companions, one of which played offensive line for the Air Force Academy, so he is a big guy. He will keep Matt in shape, at least for the first little while. I'm so excited to see the transformation Matt will go through over the next two years and the person he becomes.

That is about all I can think of for now. I'll try to keep you updated.
