Pre- Colored Easter Eggs!!!!!
I put a normal store bought egg to show the difference in size and color. Its been a lot of fun going out to find eggs everyday.
I went with my dad up to Snowflake on conference weekend.
We went to spend some time with my grandpa, and also to pick up an old truck that we bought from him. It gets to be Marc's wheels before his mission. He just has to learn how to drive stick. Heck, I don't even know how to drive stick.
Also another funny moment. Zane, the dog that became my replacement when I left on my mission, got a hair cut this weekend. My mom hired some lady to come do it. Well, I came home to find this.
What is that hideous thing on his neck. Kind of pathetic for a boy dog, I know. I told my mom that even if he was fixed, he still needed to maintain some sort of manhood. But she thought it was "cute." I hate that dreaded word. Well, that has been my life recently. Nothing too exciting, but hey, that's how it goes.

California Fun
It was pretty cold! On Friday we went to SeaWorld. That place is so much fun to me. For some reason it makes me feel like a little kid again. Me and my brothers sat in the soak zone for everything, and subsequently, we were soaked most of the day. We were also a lot more pleased with the Shamu show this time. Last time we sat in the second row, because you wanted to get soaked, but the only thing that got soaked was our butts.
This time was much better as you can see!
We went back to the beach the next day, and walked along it, and then came home.
I would say the trip was an overall success. We all had a great time.

Ok so its not exactly like that for me. Right now it would be
Friends - check
Money - uncheck
Well-slept - uncheck
Opposite sex - uncheck
Guitar - check
Microphone - uncheck
Messages waiting on me when I come home - uncheck
Dang, that's only 2 of them. Despite all this, I am happy. I don't know why. I had an impression this last week that I have everything I need in my life to be happy right now. That was a bit unsettling, because there are lots of things I think I need, but it did bring peace knowing that I'm where I need to be. Not that I still don't want some of those things, and not that I should stop trying to get some of those things, but for now, everything is where it should be. So life is happy!

The Path of Life
The Holy Ghost hath testified,
I know within my heart,
The other paths that I have tried,
From them I must depart.
I turn my feet toward the light,
The mountains fill my view.
I see the rugged path of life,
And see where I must choose.
Knowing that the path is hard,
But knowing that it’s right.
My body’s weak with sin that’s marred,
I’ll try with all my might.
But on my own I know I’ll fail.
The natural man is weak.
Rememb’ring suffering, cross and nail,
The Son who was most meek.
And following his Father’s plan,
He suffered for our sins.
And with Him I must take my stand,
And then my trail begins.
Through winding roads and jagged rocks,
And dangers at all sides.
A thoughtless group, a crowd that mocks,
My standards must abide.
Then climbing up the steepest slope,
My foot loses its place.
I fear, but then I search for hope,
I see my Savior’s face.
He reaches out his hand, and I,
I take it eagerly.
“I cannot make it.” I reply,
He answers, “Trust in Me.”
“My strength is gone, I can’t go on,”
Was my sorrowed plea.
“I know you, what you can become,”
And again says, “Trust in Me.”
Then drying tears that fill my eyes
He embraces me most dear.
I set aside my foolish cries,
I see the pathway clear.
I see the pitfalls up ahead,
And where I must avoid.
The Lord will show me where to tread,
And with him I am buoyed.
I finally reach the mountains peak.
My heart, it swells with joy.
Tears fill my eyes, I cannot speak,
I’ve traveled since a boy.
“Well done thou good and faithful one,”
My Savior says to me.
“Now look at what you have become,”
He tells me tenderly.
“But without Thee I could not have come,
I’ve failed too many times.”
“That’s why I’ve come. The victory’s won.
And friend you now are mine.”
“You’ve come to me and tried your best.
You’ve done what you could do.
My sacrifice makes up the rest.
I’ve done it all for you.”
“Now come child, your reward awaits.
Your Father’s waiting too,
Now enter in the Celestial gates,
And live the life of new.”
