Life in General

Here is another picture that we took. It is not that impressive. It is just our cool television. This week has been basically boring as we are preparing for finals and oh so ready for the summer. I did get my arms pinned under a five hundred pound copy machine when we were lifting it onto a truck and pulled a bunch of tendons in my right arm. It swelled up and changed colors, but it is getting back to normal.

What else....I am writing a book right now. It's kind of fun, but a little crazy knowing how to word everything you want, but I came across a quote that I really like. President Hinckley quoted it, but I don't believe he was the first to say it. It says "Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around and shouting that he has been robbed. The fact of the matter is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey...delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

Life is whatever you make of it. That's a lot about what my book is about. Who knows if I will ever publish it or anything but it's fun to just kick back and write page after page of things you think about.

Trevor, I am going to milk you!
